  1. The buck stops with Pardew on this one. He's waxed lyrical about Ben Arfa being a player that "will excite the Geordie public" and all that waffle, and he's not used him in a home match against a side that had only 2 away points prior to this fixture. His system worked in the first half, but it didn't in the 2nd. Apart from fitness issues there is no excuse for not bringing Ben Arfa on along with Shola, when he eventually did make a sub.

     

    Pathetic.

     

    Pardew is looking a bit one dimensional. The amount of control we had for 70 odd min and the fact they were sitting deep would mean HBA would have time on the ball and we could go at it with a bit more creativity.

     

    Really baffling decision to keep him off the pitch. This is the sort of result managers should be held accountable for imo.

  3. For all the slagging off Obertan gets (and I'd prefer to see Ben Arfa starting there myself), it's games like this where he should be showing some kind of impact.

     

    Should have watched a tape of Nathan Redmond's performance on Thursday. Exactly what is required from Obertan in this team, and we know he has what it takes to do it. Not sure he does mind  :undecided:

  4. I didn't know a contract had been offered...

     

    Yet you still feel the need to compare it to the Enrique situation, grow up.

     

    December 2010 - Enrique hadn't signed a new contract.

    August 2010 - Enrique signs for Liverpool.

     

    December 2011 - Coloccini hasn't signed a new contract.

     

    Enough trolling man :lol:

  5. Les Tiss against Blackburn was just outrageous.  What a f***ing goal.

     

    Oh yes. Silky meandering run in the middle of the park, a quick look up and pow!! Missile! Scored against Tim Flowers no less. Great goal.

  6. 1-0 to Brum.

     

    Very impressed with Nathan Redmond, playing on the right wing for Brum. Skill, pace, and a great cross for the goal. Played things first time, but can also beat a man when he needs to. Lovely little player.

     

    :nods:

     

    Still only 17 too, has the potential to develop into a great player. Won't be surprised if a few PL clubs coming knocking in January.

     

    wtf?? just had a look, and it's hard to believe he's that young! Plays with such a confidence and swagger! One to keep an eye on certainly.
