It only looked inevitable once we drew that Everton home game imo, when we knew we'd have Hughton/Calderwood and be rudderless for the foreseeable. I still maintain that Kinnear managing us all season would have seen that Villa game as a dead rubber. We'd have sneaked to safety imo.

Ah shit. What's Shefki Kuqi up to these days?

Ryder literally just has a guess after checking facebook and twitter, he's no more in the know than any of you or me.

Aye, he's been on patrol round all the Greggs in the city all day and hasn't seen owt.

FWIW that list of players gan to MARRAkesh could have easily been given to the press/official OM site etc before he came here, if Foot Mercato is right.

Soon as that steak bake touches his lips he's ours.

How reliable is Foot Mercato? Have they had any previous NUFC stories come in as credible?

We will lose again. The players look at the moment as if they expect to lose every single game.

Ince would be a good signing but if it was a case of him or an actual striker, like Remy, then I'd take the latter every time. It would be a bit like us trying to buy N'Zogbia to replace Andy Carroll a few years ago.

To be fair, who gives a fuck what some moron decided Shola was 'valued at'? I think we all know his true value is £0, and without his goals against the mackems and in Europe he'd be on a negative value.

He looked better than Williamson when he went to centre-half, and I thought he wasn't generally that great yesterday.

Not sure how anyone can predict anything other than a defeat, we just do not win football matches away from home.

because i am a mad dog

I feel a bit sorry for him, he's clearly starting to get hacked off at the shite surrounding him in our team and I can see a red card imminent if he keeps up with these lunges and acts of petulance that we're starting to see.

They're still fucking shit but if we played them instead of Norwich in our next game, I have absolutely no doubt that they'd give us a proper going over.

I get the feeling that Cisse at the focal point of a 4-3-3 will turn our fortunes around and he'll try and claim credit for it, despite it being glaringly obvious.

Nolan FGS @ 9/1 with Betfred

Perch injured? Super, Iron Mike just cements his place that bit more.

Newcastle- nline

I think we'd all have been apoplectic if either of them got an injury or suspension from this game though, win lose or draw. I'm hoping Pardew might have learned his lesson after the Tiote debacle at Stevenage; you know, back when Tiote was actually good that is.

It's true though. He was cover in the Championship, but has played regularly for the last two years. Tight cunts think they can continue getting away with it. See Simpson, D. Oh aye, I don't disagree with any of it. Today was just the day I've realised that we sit here saying the same things every week, it's getting to the point where I actually can't be arsed to write in any detail about how shit we are, it's just fucking boring and predictable.

Should not have been sent off but he was fucking crap and lazy for the duration and we played better when he wasn't on the pitch. Him being suspended for Norwich is the best fucking thing that happened today, I'm delighted the gutless cunt won't be anywhere near the game.

This thread is like fucking Groundhog Day. - Should be fourth choice at best - NO HE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE AT THE CLUB - We need a squad - I feel sorry for him it isn't his fault we didn't buy defenders - FUCKING SHIT CUNT WANKER PISS OFF - Nice guy, can't play football - Hoooooooooooooooooof Same posts every week, it's getting on my bun now like.

I'm fucking tired of hearing him talk about how he loves the cup and he was brought up on it, his exploits for Palace etc every frigging season and then we immediately get knocked out after a limp, half-arsed performance. Shame the players don't respect the cup or Pardew's supposed opinion of it, because we just look as if we don't want to win, every year.

Did Williamson really get the armband? Aye, I only noticed when they were doing replays of the second goal. It would be funny if it wasn't tragic. Shola and Williamson captaining us in the FA Cup, man. It's a fucking shambolic joke.
