If Pardew plays the same team or formation as he did today then well, quite frankly, its up to us to kill Ashley.

Wouldn't be surprised if he tries to shift the likes of Williamson in the summer. But as has been pointed out, the amount of long balls we play up to Carroll is just so infuriating. It's not the Newcastle United way.

A loss here is totally unacceptable. If we lose this then the heat will be cranked up a notch on Pardew whether people like it or not. I'd go with: Krul Simpson Williamson Colo Jose Barton Tiote Nolan Jonas Carroll Ranger A draw will be OK as long as we beat West Ham. Think we'll throw it away and get a 1-1.

Routledge is utterly pathetic. Fucking hell man his best attribute is pace yet he cant even use that to effect. At least we've got a bench of luxury to choose from! Best, Xisco, Lovenkrands....spoilt for fucking choice.

I don't think that comes as a surprise to most.

Fuck that

This is really, really poor.

Fucking hell lads!!!! There's something in it for us!! Get your asses into fucking gear

Every time Modric gets the ball Tiote's snapping at his heels...

This ref is such a cunt

Thing is with Carroll is that the majority of balls we're playing up to him aren't even at his feet (or head). What is the point in doing that to a lone striker (especially when their not lightning quick)? Typical.

Considering how woeful we are at creating chances from general play today we must make better of our set-pieces. They've been nothing short of diabolical. However if we can keep them shut out for the first 10-15mins of the 2nd half then who knows. But its going to be tough. Howay the lads!!

Putting about €2 on: Stoke Celtic Liverpool Burnley Swansea AFC Wimbledon Man Utd Norwich €40 return Tempted to put Man City in there but they are massively unpredictable. Wouldn't be surprised if Villa nick a draw.

The Poznan? Pogo If You Love The Toon ftw

To have so much hate for someone you've never met just because they support a different football team just sums those people up. No wonder they can never be arsed to get jobs, they spend all their energy on NUFC and Geordies.

Na, that's Messi..

I agree, but if we were to do that we'd no doubt stand off and stand off and let him unleash piledrivers or crosses from deep which he's more than capable of. And then there's Van der Vaart...

I was thinking this. Routledge's pace will be an asset to us in this case, but we'll still struggle as Bale is in almost unstoppable form atm. Quality act.

This is true.

Well said, Blef. For years though they've been harping on about their amazing loyal fanbase and how they are 'the best in the world'- which is all self claimed, the media don't bat much of an eyelid towards them- and then have the cheek to call us delusional. And as for calling Newcastle a shithole? Remember the location Maine Road was in? I hate everything about MCFC.

I know the situations were a lot different even only 5/6 months ago or so but it's just scandalous to think that Emile Heskey played in the World Cup for England and Carroll didn't. I'm well aware that Carroll wasn't half the player he is now and was playing in the Championship, but when you look at the way he's playing now its amazing to think.

It's a shame that bar Joey, Tiote doesn't have a good central midfielder to play alongside him. If he did, then he wouldn't have to do the work of two men.

I heard it 3 times in level 7. And he's still here. f*** me what do we have to do to get rid of him? stop giving him your money I don't, mate, and I won't be giving him a penny in the future.

I heard it 3 times in level 7. And he's still here. Fuck me what do we have to do to get rid of him?

I agree. I mean, the chaps got a point, but his team hardly set the world alight with their brand of football do they?
