http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/oct/22/newcastle-united-wigan-athletic-premier-league Really misleading report here.

Was watching SSN down the pub and Charlie Nicholas said we instantly looked more dangerous once Ben Arfa was on. Yep.

Obviously Obertan does bring a lot to the side, but sadly it isn't in his creative play in the final third. I wouldn't be annoyed to see him start against Stoke.

I'm envious.

Getting sharper. Would have imploded if he had scored. He's going to be a huge player in our push for Europe

that lay-off was perfection

what a beautiful man

get in

nice one wigan dude

:lol: Did this, but didn't fall over

holy fucking hell wow

Or have a really fit wife. Or offer us pace and width and actually play well enough?

Ba's more likely to score imo. If he can play the high role (as Best is doing) well enough, then Ben for Best.

Ben Arfa for Ba imo

Super safe hands Krul

Spaceman is so negative

Did Watson get carded?

Excellent tracking by Obertan

We have a foothold now. It was good that we were able to see off the early pressure and resulting Wigan chances. Second half we may need more creativity.

Saylor wide. Not clear-cut

Jonas loves that 'dinked' left foot cross to the far post

Best should score

Disagree. Disagree.
