Ash

Wouldn't get into the starting XI.

How does what he said get taken out of context ffs?

Bet he's telling Ryan that the left side is actually the right too! Seriously, whatever works and this is some funny stuff. Imagine if Saylor had come out with what Pardew had said Eh? We were playing downhill.

Imagine if that was true.

Part of the club shop has also been turned into Sports Direct, with boots and foreign kits like Real Madrid on sale.

We've let in 6 league goals and you think he's played a part in 4 of those? Which ones? League Cup goals too. Four I've seen: Poor attempt at closing down/blocking the cross against Blackburn. Poor attempt at closing down against Wolves. Backing off for Forest's first. Stupidly diving in for Forest's third. Two I'm not 100% certain on as I wasn't in the country so only saw brief highlights, I'm sure someone will be able to confirm if I'm wrong on these: Conceded the free kick against Fulham? Got outjumped for the Scunthorpe goal?

I defend him because he's not as bad as some people make out. We conceded two goals today and none were his fault. He gets blamed for us letting in goals when others have had more of a direct influence on us letting the goals in. Can't agree with that, think people are right in their assessment of him. Like the Wolves game for example, I remember you saying he busts his arse for 90 minutes which simply isn't true, he gets lazy far too often and shifts the blame on to others when he needs to accept responsibility for his own role. None were his fault today but he's played a part in the majority of goals we've let in this season which is where his critics come from.

Not even going to debate Simpson with you, Mick. You defend him as much you criticise Pardew.

Agree with the first part of your post but at the minute, Taylor is playing well and deserves to be in the side. Simpson on the other hand has been terrible for a good length of time now. I don't think people go overboard with Simpson either.

It's because everyone is desperate to convince themselves that Santon has to replace Simpson. Or that once again, Taylor has massively outperformed Simpson whilst playing out of position.

Great display from him today, did extremely well and has earned his place in the side for next week. Don't mind if he plays at LB or RB but he's moved ahead of Simpson in the pecking order who should be benched next week.

Reckon that's him done with us if it's true.

1331: GOALFLASH Arsenal 1-0 Sunderland (Robin van Persie) 1331: We are under way at Arsenal.

You enjoying Craig Gardner, mate? Gardner 1-0 Cabaye Surely this "world class" (copyright Newcastle Online) midfielder will find it within himself to score a goal soon. Surely. Dunno how you dare tbh. Remember in pre-season when you wanted that stupid bet that Sessegnon would outscore Ben Arfa, despite not knowing how long the latter would be out for? He'd have got you off to a flying start, what with near enough a seven game start.

£10 on Gateshead @ 5/1 £10 on Gateshead dnb @ 10/3

Tyler not doing the commentary in FIFA12... (PS3) Clive T. & Townsend... mentions him via his full name though in reverse oddly... Tyler does the commentary too.

themichaelowen michael owen Off to bed. Been a busy day of tweeting today! Premier League is back this weekend. Can't wait. Can't wait for what, I wonder? To wave the team bus off?

Not sure if it's been mentioned but there's now a big sign next to the reception facing on to Barrack Road reading "Sports Direct @ St James' Park". Looks like at least another one will be going up too.

Probably because of the averageness of all other keepers Hart excepted. Aye, but he's retired from international football.

Why is everybody picking Ben Foster?

It's just the fact it's Phil Thompson tbh, everything about him grates on me! Wanted to punch him square on the nose after last night's "Carroll and Enrique play for a big club now".

Luckily i knew someone with an Access All Areas pass. She got me to see KK, Daveed etc. She's in the after party now though, she couldn't get me into that one :/ I was speaking to the lad off Purely Belter that's in the BT adverts now Good event really enjoyed it. Grobbelar was a good sport with the 'cheat' jibes and Ginola is still class like. I saw Ash at the game, and he got extremely wound up with the fact Phil Thompson had a new Liverpool tracksuit Saw him in the dug out all i can say is that nose is monstrous in person... Dunno why the big nosed cunt couldn't have just worn the same tracksuit that the rest of the Liverpool players/Roy Evans were wearing! Bet he went out and bought it just for today. Cunt.

The reason Cabaye came here was to test himself in this league as he'd been in France all his career. Can't see him instantly returning to France considering this was the main factor in his decision. Agree. Can see him moving to a 'bigger' English club, though. So, let's hope we'll qualify for Europa League (at least) this season and we'll be fine. Jesus Christ.

Where can these words be found?

Spurs? They have 58-year-old Brad Friedel in goal ffs.
