Its awful consistently seeing us need 3 or 4 players in a transfer window but only ever getting 1 or 2. Its always CB that gets sacrificed too, meaning we have to put up with Willo again. Itll happen again in January

I hope he does another Radio Newcastle phone-in soon. I want to ask about systems and that stupid corner routine.

Sometimes I think we finished 5th despite Pardew - our collection of players is certainly good enough for 5th. He is good at talking to the media and is very convincing but he makes many mistakes, often persisting with the same ones. How many times will he go 4-4-2 when we're much more threatening with 4-3-3? It encourages a playing style that doesn't suit our players, even if it did work once or twice. And why are we persisting with those set pieces? There's a good team spirit around the club which I'm sure he's responsible for, but that just speaks for his man management skills and not the tactical nous needed to take us into the Champions League. Also, his constant defending of Mike Ashley really grates on me.

If Krul, Colo and Saylor are back I'm much more confident. We wouldn't have lost 3-0 today if they played.

It was definitely the weekend for defensive goals. Kolarov got 20pts, Fonte 15, Caulker 15, Evans 14, Evra 13, Ivanovic 12. I'm thinking about bringing Kolarov in, even if he rotates. With his attacking returns, he'll probably get more points than most first teamers. Only 5.7m too!

Oh no, derby day We're better than them on paper but playing poorly. Honestly cant call this one

Anita will be good for us but i agree that he was poor today.

Thought he was alright tbh. Far from the main problem.

How many times is AP gonna do this? Just go 4-3-3, its been blindingly obvious for ages.

He helped us get relegated, he ruined a World Cup final and he was a twat today. Few victory drinks with Fergie tonight, probably.

Why is everyone saying we played badly? Genuine question.

Played well today, we look so much better with him.

Retire, Steve. That was painful to watch. I dunno why he thinks he's Messi with that dribble but he was absolutely awful today.

Take away those first 15 minutes and that was probably the best we've been all season. This was very similar to the Chelsea 3-0 - unfair score, awful referee decisions etc. Webb is a detestable cunt. G-Nev is the best co-commentator but he said many stupid things today. Ben Arfa, Jonas, Santon & Cabaye were our best players whilst Harper was abysmal. I dunno why he thinks he's Messi but I'd rather play a one-armed Krul.

Shades of the Arsenal 4-4. Lets have 'em!!!

Howard Webb is a fucking twat, absolutely detest the bloke. His teammates are being brutal, the twats. We've been much better since the 2nd goal, but its unforgiveable to concede goals like that. Abysmal start.

This is abysmal.

Needs to sort Fergie out.

Thats the best video montage i've ever seen

Ba and Cisse doing a wonderful dance there.

Buzzing for this now, even though the team news fills me with fear. They're beatable though, definitely.

Love Fergie but dont think he should be starting. Fearful of our defence.

Demba has his syrup, Jonas has his gash.

If so, he'd be the first to be executed.

Did Lambert set it up?
