The Prophet

Sorry but religion is part of the private life, of course if Ba is doing Ramadan, it will affect his performances on the pitch but he is obliged to do it if he's Muslim... It is very understandable and NORMAL to put its religion on top of the career, whatever is your wage. I think faith is more important than money or football... I'm risking another ban herre but f*** off man, blaming ramadan is nonsense. He is atrocious, absolutely atrocious. ??? Judging him on 105 minutes of football, seen his career goal record?

Celtic may go through due to Sion fielding five ineligible players

This is Newcastle United though, doesn't matter a jot. Shola gets new contracts for showing nothing on a permanent basis. Lovenkrands and Best are still on the books. They're still there or thereabouts. Farcical. So Ba should be written off?

Class, but needs to stop booting it long all the time

Krul 9 - Living up to his potential Simpson 4 - Rubbish, two poor games on the bounce Colo 6 - Though he struggled in parts, got better as the game went on Wlliamson 6 - solid but got caught out a couple of times Taylor 6 - Alright, class free kick Lovenkrands N/A - Who? I wasn't aware he was on the pitch Cabaye 7 - He's mint Gosling 5 - A mixed bag consisting of averagness and God awful play Marveaux 7 - Looks promising, tricky first half, sat deep and distributed well second Ba 5 - Linked up alright but was let down by a poor touch and positioning Best 6 - Tried hard but crap for the most part Taylor 7 - I'm a critic but looked decent again when he came on Vuckic 7 - Tidy Ameobi 8 - Very direct, awesome goal

Featured in all but one game. My bad, I'd still start him at Fulham like

Keep in mind he barely kicked a ball pre-season

He'll only improve with game time, hence needing to start against Fulham

I thought he linked up alright, it was his first touch and lack of sharpness in front of goal that let him down.

Needs to start against Fulham.

Who's Fraser Forrester?

Obertan?

Grinding out the results

He needs first team football, he's got way more ability than Shola and Best

I'd start Ba like.

Based on 45 minutes? Christ the knee jerkers are out in force tonight

Ba is a striker, strikers need service.

While Ba hasn't been great he's been let down by an appalling lack of service.

you're actually a very sad man. Problem? As you well know he stated that he didn't want to leave Madrid and he didn't think he'd move. You've somehow twisted it to sound like he said he "doesn't want to play for spurs". A bit sad really but what can you do. Anyway Luka's agent says he will 100% not leave this window. Wants to stay at Real Madrid = Doesn't want to play for Spurs, no?
