Krul's best game yet for me. No 'saves' to make, but that's the easy part of keeping. His judgement and handling were absolutely spot-on.
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.

Why you lot ever expect anything from England is beyond me. Its always a pile of s***.
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.

French radio on the advice of Ben Arfa denies any contacts the other barbarian
ridicule does not kill
you can listen unfortunately it is in French
When do the nominations for the NO awards come out?
-
The thing I love about him the most is that with his first touch he'll often eliminate one or two players being able to tackle him by cutting in front of them, I love it.
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...!

Hot topic on Talk Sport now
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.

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

That MOTD is absolutely vomit inducing.
I suppose as a dirty foreigner I'm lucky enough to have the option to just walk away from this league and maybe I should seriously entertain it.
The sole purpose of the Premiership is becoming to produce a more entertaining "product" for the millions of plastic fans of big clubs across the world. (Yes, I realize the irony of me making this point) The only reason the rest of us exist is to act as a supporting cast to make it entertaining and occasionally come through with a charming little charge to 7th or cup run to provide some extra talking points.
I've realized this for ages but have chosen to ignore it because I can't stop loving Newcastle, but last night just brought it all down on me again.
Slowly but surely it's becoming all about four or five lions in a colosseum. The rest of us are the Jews.
I agree! Bring back Championship football!!!

Karma is going to hit this Dutch f***er like a speeding train, and i cant wait to see it.
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

De Jong, Lee Dixon and the ref are all pricks. I feel like everyone else, i don't like losing games but i can take it the injury to Ben Arfa however i can't. Another thing aswell people say decisions even themselves out over a season, that is something i don't believe in, refereeing needs to be looked at, why is it so s*** ? Also should De Jong serve a ban for that tackle and should more suspensions be given/taken away after games by a panel who is paid to judge such things.
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.

Even the missus was outraged at MOTD2 there.
She spotted the trailing leg also.
The f***er has a track recorded and they just skirted over the incident. Talk about protecting the image of the league at all costs.
Remember when the bigger players get breaks? Yeh, it's f***ing headline news!
Outrageous.
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

Before we got relegated, he was terrible in my opinion. I think his worst performance ever in a Newcastle shirt was the game at home against Porstmouth where we got thrashed. But his performance got better last season, and from what Ive seen this season, he is playing pretty well alongside Mike Williamson which is great because we still have Campbell and Taylor to fall back on if we need to.
The 1-4? Coloccini wasn't even playing.

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

Very strange substitutions today. Ben Arfa wasn't having much impact at that time but it was clear the game would open up. Tiote was playing really well and okay it was a striker for a defensive midfielder but I can't see the benefit of taking someone off who's doing the business, and against a team like this.
Hate to say it but Nolan should have been the one to give way, in both instances.
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 every c***,
Who took that corner?
Yours Sincerely,
One smug t***.
dear cunt,
it was Jonas

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