Super Duper Branko Strupar

Why? Don't see what he did wrong. Ryan Taylor. Obviously has his reasons. Santon isn't a defensive fullback anyway. Neither is Raylor ffs. Also, despite them actually not being too bad, I'm disappointed he considers Lovenkrands and Ameobi good enough to change a game. Replace an experienced player with a kid who has sat on the bench for his whole career and can't speak English. Doesn't really make sense. Especially against Chelsea. Logic right there

Come on, now. That plonker has been almost persistently sh*t. His ball control, composure strength and confidence are bollocks. You're right like. I'm not saying he can't be good, he has potential. But he's been consistently poor if we're being frank. I think maybe 2 good crosses and a couple of games worth of pressure has been his contribution thus far this season

If you're going to start with HBA behind Ba then you've got to set up accordingly behind him. Our midfield was again dominated today.

Fucking Obertan, man.

I'm sorry but we were asking for this at the start of the match

I bet over the course of the season so far Obertan ended up losing us possesion more often than he ends up retaining it. It's more often than not a backward step as soon as he gets the ball.

always going to happen

People seeing a lot more from Loven than me by the looks of things. He's worked hard but his quality is poor!

Raylor, Perch, Lovenkrands, Obertan & Ameobi.

Terrible set up today. Midfield has been woeful.

Does it really matter?

He got elbowed in the gut, man! Did he fuck. He barely touched him. He clearly stops well short.

atrocious from Walker

“I was heartbroken the day I left Newcastle, but football breaks your heart all the time,” Speed said.

What chant is that? Search it you'll see, feel a bit bad putting it in here. May be my over sensitivity.

Ah. Hope Luiz starts ahead of Alex then.

Its on YouTube. A well known football chant uses it's tune, I'm sure it'll be easy enough.

Isn't Terry out? Probs Alex & Luiz. He hasn't fancied Alex for whatever reason this season. I'll be buzzing if that is the CB pairing we're up against. I rate Alex but he hasn't played much.

They are giving out the words to everyone who goes at the turnstiles i think. Good. I know not everyone is sold on the idea of the hymn, but I really like it, especially given the meaning of the song. I'm no sure how religious he was, if at all, but I think it's respectful of his heritage and his pride in being Welsh. Seems fitting, for 50k+ plus people who loved him as much as they could without knowing the man who want to respect his passing in an appropriate way. Our own service if you will. People may not agree that's appropriate. But they should still give it their all. I hope we do him proud. I just wish I could be there.

May have been mentioned, but does anyone know if anywhere are publishing the words for this (Bread of Heaven) prior to Saturday? Not that I'm going, like, but it would be class if a good number of people sang along.

I like this even more

"Schteeve , these fans are not ready yet!"

Well all 3 of you's are obviously wrong. He's just told you. Shearer was non existent. Deal with it.
