Haven't agreed with you like that since the last time I agreed with you like

Agree totally. I'd even go as far as saying it was a match winning performance. He id very well to catch a couple of high crosses in the first half when they were still on top. If he had fumbled or not come for them, we could have been dead and buried by HT. In the end that's a brilliant 3 pts, and a tremendous collective effort. MOTM between Tiote and Barton. The Cheiky bastard edges it for me for that classic destroyer performance. Bring on the filth P.S. Just what the fuck was Coloccini doing right beside Carroll when he headed the winner? What the fuck took him up into a centre forward position when the attack had started from the back and it wasn't like he was still up there from a corner!!?

Playing him at RB will make a HUGE improvement on our current line-up. If he does not play there for whatever reason, he will be gone by January 31st. Either way, I believe we will see a different Steven Taylor when he's fully fit and back playing again. A better player than the one we knew.

Agreed. Aside from England being shit, there's just so much football nowadays that international football has totally lost its appeal tbh. Saturated market anarl.

When do the nominations for the NO awards come out?

Nailed. He has a positional awareness about him so he makes sure his first touch takes him away from danger more often than not, probably makes his first touch look better than it actually is (in the sense he doesn't seem to kill the ball stone dead, rather moves it in another direction) This was Zidane's great ability, and to a certain extent Lampard has it as well. Great awareness and the ability to touch the ball into exactly the right place. VERY true on Zidane, never noticed on Lampard but now you mention it... Did we just mention Zidane btw I feel a Tiote pictorial coming...! http://www.truetalkblog.com/truetalk/images/zidane_head_butt_1.jpg http://www.tusbuscadores.com/notiprensa/fotos/zidane_roja.jpg

Heard some right c*** on 5Live defending De Jong to the hilt!! He even went as far as blaming Ben Arfa for the injury saying that he left his standing leg in the way, when he should have got out of the way of the tackle. What a prick! Had a southern (probably London accent) but couldn't make out who it was. Pleat and the host sounded bemused and tried to disagree with him, then brought the Dutch journalist on.

Oh, and i before e except after c

What's wrong with playing attacking football, and having a siege mentality at the same time?

The boy looks a bit special!! To my mind not only is he an ideal physical specimen for a midfielder, but he is also a thinker. Someone who understands what midfield play is all about, and doesn't just get out there and do as he is told. Smith on the other hand.... Bit special indeed. Keep it up lad

I agree! Bring back Championship football!!!

Amen. There is no place in football for wishing injuries on your staunchest rivals, but then again there is no place in football for dirty c***s like De Jong either. Hope he f***s off one way or another. Have City played the mackems yet? Would be interesting to see him up against Clattermole. Yeah, Sunderland beat them 1-0, last minute winner. Hmmm. I'll look forward to them playing Wolves then

Yes! Bans should be thrashed out to cunts who injure other cunts with reckless play. Take Nolan on Anichebe for instance. Should have binned the cunt for as long as Anichebe was out for.

This was my thoughts on it. Had it been a player of one of the top four clubs (as has happened the last couple of years), they would have talked about little else. Its almost as if they touched on it as an after thought. Even when the footage showed the tackle, the commentator said 'fair challenge' and never even said anything else about how serious it may be, even when Ben Arfa was being strechered off taking oxygen! And those penalty decisions were a joke - Williamson played the ball, but it was outside the box anyway, and Ameobi's leg was clearly taken - no pen. Just hope the events in this match can galvanise the team a bit, and they sort out the home form for the next few matches up here. Can't say much more than that. Apart from Nolan and a sub-par Routledge, I thought everyone had a good game. Coloccini was immense yet again and Jonas was outstanding. Better than any of the over-paid dirty cunts in the City side. Mancini hasn't got a clue. We could have taken them to the cleaners to be honest had we kept HBA and Colo on. We played with guile and passed it around a fair bit. Tiote and Barton (who albeit took some time to settle) were outstanding in the thick of it. Sol Campbell showed Newcastle United Football Club how to clear your fucking lines! We were done by a moment of genius I'd say rather than bad defending. Encouraging patterns of play and heart, marred by the usual colossal fuck-nut of a referee, and more depressingly a serious injury that threatens to take the wind out of our sails. Let's hope for better days

Amen. There is no place in football for wishing injuries on your staunchest rivals, but then again there is no place in football for dirty cunts like De Jong either. Hope he fucks off one way or another. Have City played the mackems yet? Would be interesting to see him up against Clattermole.

The 1-4? Coloccini wasn't even playing. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/7065165.stm Hm. I think i got the wrong guy. Thanks for pointing that out. But again, my previous sentence where I said he was terrible before we got relegated remains the same. You do know who Coloccini is. Don't you? :colo:

Stomach turning result tbh. We LOST the game, rather than Stoke winning it. Bigger kick in the knob this than was Blackpool imo. Resorted to long ball too early in the game. Shaking with rage tbh

Exactly this. I'm not one for knee-jerk craziness but the subs were indeed baffling. Bar an injury to both HBA and Tiote, there isn't a single tactical excuse anyone could give. I'd have thought the same even if we had won or equalized.

dear cunt, it was Jonas

good fucking finish! granted Turnbull is Turnboshit, but it was a class finish regardless

Olof Mellberg and Sami Hyypia off the top of my head
