Britain generally felt Coloccini was awful after we were relegated. They were right too, he was not good in the second half of that season. People can develop. Maybe Tomkins has too.

We do produce some real shite.

They are not corrupt, they are just plain crap at it. I believe that there are certain decisions that are simply too poor to be down to negligence. Any industry where so much money is at stake is never free from corruption. FIFA know it goes on, otherwise they'd have been keen to introduce video technology to help.

Refereeing in the Premier League is corrupt. It's plain for all to see.

Pardew must just have gotten confused.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/club_stats/default.stm Don't see where 5 bookings are coming from for him.

Based on Pardew's comments on BBC: Krul Simpson Williamson Coloccini Santon Obertan Cabaye Tiote Jonas Ba Best What we'll end up seeing knowing our luck: Krul Simpson Perch Coloccini Raylor Obertan Cabaye Smith Jonas Ba Ameobi

That's Colo gone then.

It's based on Perch. Not on Kadar. Watched him quite a lot in the Championship. Was better than Perch.

This is the reality we have to accept under Ashley: injuries will cripple us due to our transfer activities.

Pardew's definitely got it wrong today, with all due respect to him.

So, Smith and Cabaye next week? Dear lord

Injuries taking their toll, simple as.

Krul Simpson Kadar Perch Santon Obertan Cabaye Gosling Jonas Ba Ben Arfa :/

He's played up front tbf.

Certainly didn't look like a serious tear, if there was a tear at all.

I'd start accusing my immediate family of slipping me opiates if that happened, like.

Wraith definitely been told he's out for the rest of the season.

Realised our entire first team, reserve team, and academy cost about the same as Torres.

I actually thought Lovenkrands did a good job today. His mazy run was very Ben Arfa-esque in the first half. And was pleasantly surprised by Perch.

Hopefully will highlight the need for another CB in January, if nothing else.

Can't disagree with johnnypd's ratings. The Raylor experiment's been fun, but time for it to end. Ref was a twat, additionally.

England picked last. Let's all boycott UEFA.

Says good luck to France, and welcome to Ireland
