Keep thinking theres no way the goal can meet the hype, but everyone says it is unbelievable. So excited! Half expecting them to show him get the ball, accidently show an advert, before returning to Jonas' celebration

Whoa, starting to worry now. Really worry. But i just dont understand why we'd do that.

Hopefully he's wedged himself into the team now - even if RB would be better.

Is it true they can't have Barton, Faurlin and Taarabt? If so, we should be destroying these. We won't, however we'll still win 2-0. Krul Simpson Willo Colo Santon BEN FUCKING ARFA, PARDS! Cabaye Guthrie Jonas Best Shola

Stevenage rematch. Bring 'em on!

The Marveaux update might hasten the dropping of this abomination of a footballer.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

It isn't rocket science, Pards. Ben Arfa plays --> he scores. You put him on the wing --> he scores. Will it finally get into your thick head? Ben Arfa >>>>> Obertan

Fucking Pardew. Look at this! Look at this! Play Ben Arfa and we fucking score.

BEN ARFAAAAAAAAAAAAa

They dont even care and they're still winning.

Williamson just gave Goodwillie a tug? Bit blue for this time of day...

Tiote and Ba will be like new signings when they return. So theres 3 of them already.....who says we lack ambition?

Blackburn's team is very encouraging. Probably their 3 best players aren't playing (Yak on the bench).

Post match piss up as well?

A cup run would be lovely, thanks.

He's an absolute knobhead. With Stevie Taylor sat next to him, he's going "Aye, I fancy Blackburn to win today. Guess who they're against? Yeh, it's Newcastle. Blackburn will go there and win" with his smug face.

Don't fanny around Alan, just go.

I'm in. Been waiting a long time for this to happen... EDIT: Depending on the date, of course

Such a despicable club in every way. Sickening.

Can we though? We've bought a lot of worse defenders for bigger prices in the past. Just because we've done worse doesn't mean it isn't still bad. Our recent transfers show that there is value in France and Holland, so for barely more we could get Pieters, Mbiwa, Douglas or even Samba. They'll be on our radar, so lets just go for one.

It's not that Tomkins is bad, just that we can realistically get much better defenders for a similar price.

Luckily for us, I think the rumours about his knee would stop bigger clubs ever going in for him, especially for big money. They had their chance when he was for free, they didn't take it and now he's ours. Game over.

£5m for Samba is daylight robbery. It makes far too much sense for us to bid, hence we won't.

ZonalMarking's piece on the game: http://www.zonalmarking.net/2012/01/05/newcastle-united-tactics/ Oh man, I really really wish I was there at the match. The atmosphere sounded exceptional. What i liked most was that we didn't win via smash and grab - we completely annihilated them from start to finish. I doubt i'll ever see us play better than that, it was near perfection. I've even used the Chronicle front cover as a poster on my wall Don't care if it makes us sound 'small time' - I really hope the club releases this as a DVD.
