I don't understand though. Why aren't they tired?

Coloccini shouldn't be near the team, I'm sorry. Yanga-M'Biwa and Williamson was working perfectly. Pack up Colo and send him back to Argentina on 1st January.

Just gotta rotate all them left backs.

As usual, Pardew plays his same 11 no matter what until they lose. He doesn't know what's right, only when it's working. And once it breaks, he doesn't know why, or why it worked in the first place.

Game over. Zero points this season when we concede first.

Time4Change are meeting again this week. Our issue is that proper organisation of a march takes time getting council and police approval. Perhaps a static demonstration can be organised with fewer restrictions. We'll know tomorrow, but it definitely wasn't a one-off, and we hope to have a presence at every home game in some capacity.

True. Although I think there's a breadth of opinion that Ashley has lost the plot and Pardew should be replaced that hasn't been there for a long time, if ever.

I know we're s*** and that but f***ing hell. Have we been past the QFs since 1976? Nope. Last time we got past Round 5 was indeed 1976.

Our most advanced draws in the League Cup in the past ten seasons: 13/14 - R4 - Man City (H) - lost 12/13 - R3 - Man Utd (A) - lost 11/12 - R4 - Blackburn (A) - lost 10/11 - R4 - Arsenal (H) - lost 09/10 - R3 - Peterborough (A) - lost 08/09 - R3 - Spurs (H) - lost 07/08 - R3 - Arsenal (A) - lost 06/07 - R5 - Chelsea (H) - lost 05/06 - R4 - Wigan (A) - lost 04/05 - R4 - Chelsea (H) - lost 03/04 - R3 - West Brom (H) - lost

It was announced in the summer that we'd got Category 1. I say announced, I read that it had happened.

What? All of it, the Ben Arfa thing especially. Wasn't having a pop. I suppose it does beggar belief.

What?

The last three games I've been at since April, I've seen Newcastle concede 12 and score 2. And yet some people are just content and go "Awh well, maybe next week." Not even a single song against Ashley or Pardew today. No pressure whatsoever. Most people, laughably, seem to have blamed it on Ben Arfa inside the stadium.

It's incredible, really.

Anyone else not received their tickets yet?

Words like 'disgrace' have become so overused in football that they don't really mean anything anymore so it's hard to describe just what is going on at NUFC without sounding cliched. It's a complete scandal the way NUFC are run but the media's reluctance to stick the boot into any of the Premier League cash cows basically means we're on our own and there's absolutely f*** all we can do about it. Nail on head.

United For Newcastle ‏@UtdForNewcastle 50s In #NUFC's last two summer transfer windows, they have spent £9.7m of the £1bn spent by Premier League clubs (so far). Less than 1%.

Played in Community Shield, didn't he?

I don't honestly see Ashley selling for less than £25m+ You could easily argue that a French international midfielder with 3 years left on his contract, in his prime, with the new television revenue is worth that. Ashley'll want the most money possible. If Ashley does sell for less than that, then I dunno how anything works at this club anymore and will throw myself into the Tyne.

Strained his fingers tweeting bollocks for twelve hours straight.

L'Equipe are reporting that.

We've been drawn away roughly 80% of the time over the past eight or nine years.
