we just need tiote and barton back. i'm starting to get concerned, admittedly, but we're halfway there points-wise. its imperative we improve at home though. this league is just so unpredictable lately.

Err you sure? Aston Villa, Blackpool, Chelsea (cc), Man City and Bolton x2. fair enough. i dont count the cup though. and man city shouldn't have had that one.

Like they reacted to the Blackburn and Fulham games? we didn't get molested 5-1 then.

Krul Simpson - S Taylor - Campbell - Enrique Routledge - Tiote - Nolan - Jonas Carroll - Ameobi i like williamson, but he's been off key recently and today gives an excuse to try taylor/campbell. can't predict how this will go. we do badly at home, but are prone to slaughtering someone. we win when we shouldn't. chelsea are horrific at the moment, but will they really lose 3 in a row? then again, they've got no terry, alex (maybe), essien or lampard. i think we'll win 1-0.

sounds like a nightmare match. trying to remain positive here..... we normally defend well and we didnt. jose is normally immense and he wasnt. we havnt conceded many penalties lately and we did. we had no tiote, no barton and our central midfield had nolan + smith. factor in our terrible record at the reebok.....of course we lost! it just sounds like one of those days where it all goes wrong. the worry is that we're without coloccini for 3 games, but tbh now theres a reason to play campbell or taylor today was a one-off and we can beat chelsea next week. mind you, we really have to win that one. we have the sort of personalities in our squad that'll react well to this. maybe they needed a wake up call.

Bent is an idiot for parking in Newcastle - especially if he has a personalised plate. Although its obviously not right, i've got no sympathy for him at all. He knew that would happen. Caulkin has been proper brown-nosing him. I know he's his mate but why isn't he like this to his NUFC mates? It all sounds a little desperate.

which commentary?

L'Equipe's reaction is funny but accurate: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/nov/18/france-press-reaction-england-wembley

just bumped into Andy Carroll down Osborne Road. he either went in Osborne's bar or the one next to it. to be honest, i froze and didnt say anything......was too confused as to why his reg plate read 'Cassoll'. and of course theres the fear of being glassed! he was walking fine btw. i doubt he'd be out if he picked up a knock in the match.

carroll has always suited the ponytail. i'd hate for him to change now.

Fucking Ben Foster

Henderson stayed on longer than Carroll. Hendo > Andy [/mackem thinking]

Tweets: DianaInHeaven Princess Diana Call me selfish but I can't wait for that Andy Carroll to die. Yum! ....also, Robbie Savage has been tweeting Ferdinand all match and analysing every touch.

Well done, Andy. You'll definitely be back.....bet Capello was creaming himself. Does take off some gloss knowing he was replaced by Jay bloody Bothroyd.

Jay Bothroyd, man. This is too much.

Hope they take Carroll off while he's 'Orange Inj' in case it turns into a 'Red Inj'

Take Andy off while his stock is still high. He's made a good first impression, but now its time to go.

Gareth Barry substituted. Promising.

"How do we get more from Andy Carroll?" This is mint

Some quality booing there. England are proving they're still a horrific team, although Carroll has been very impressive. Either take him off at half time, or bring on a proper strike partner for him. Having said that, I doubt this team could even score in a brothel Kevin Nolan house party.

Its absolutely surreal seeing a Newcastle player getting hyped like this. I'm so used to getting hated on

Carroll's doing well out there. Needs a strike partner though

C'MON ANDY!

Andy didn't sing. The Sun: "DISGRACE AS NEWCASTLE STAR SAYS HE HATES HIS COUNTRY."
