My favourite NUFC player ever by a long shot, I was spoilt getting introduced to him as a player so early. Him and Cole in our first season back up were unreal.

He needs to campaign for a multi-tier European super league.

I'm not sure you can say his heart is in the right place when his behaviour seems almost exclusively motivated by self interest.

You'll never live this one down, Wilson.

I thought it would be way more but I'm in London. 80-odd percent white seems really high.

I think Le Tissier just hates the North of England tbh, the further North the more he hates it. I'm basing that on absolutely nothing but have believed it 100% for about 20 years regardless.

To be honest - and it's not like me to stand up for Pardew's public statements - I'm glad Pardew didn't defend the challenge for 2 reasons: hopefully it will form part of an effort to calm Tiote down a bit behind closed doors; and more importantly I think the manager of a club of our size needs to choose their battles carefully when it comes to criticising referees in public and I personally don't think there was a hope in hell of getting the red card overturned. He needs to save his moaning for when it'll make a difference, it's not like we're Man Utd and having a go at referees will actually up the pressure on refs as a whole and have a 'positive' effect. Whether it was preferable for Pardew to not have been drawn either way on it is another matter though. Probably. He doesn't do that though, he'll always give an answer on anything that he's asked.

What a bizarre career Xisco's had at Newcastle.

The referee gave us fuck-all all game like, really added to the pressure on us in a way Sunderland's play couldn't. The ref's performance seemed legitimately biased. Pretty unbelievable that the home side got no yellow cards while we got 4 of them and a red as well, I thought they were just as dirty as us and certainly more persistent.

Stop watching Look North then you bell end, it's fucking shit.

Made the point yesterday and have seen others say similar - if a mackem had done that to one of our lot would you have been screaming for a red card? I would and I'd have been pissed off if it wasn't given. Before anyone mentions Larsson, I did not see that incident. http://cdn.fourfourtwo.com/contentimages/interviews/Wenger1.jpg

Feeling the fucking heat now like. I honestly think we call it a day now, it was a decent idea but for whatever reason people just don't seem to be that into it. Know when to stop.

Was busy in a police interview... tax reason they wanted to know why he was carrying £12m in his back pocket all game

Update the table, spreadsheet boy. 9 points, I'll fucking take it areet.

Tiote is definitely becoming a liability. Incident in question he was getting held back and went for the ball but if a mackem hit one of our lad's shins like that we'd be screaming for him to be sent off. Hope Tiote is fucking bollocked for that and told to stop playing like such a daft cunt. Not convinced he will be though.

Le Tissier hates us, anyone expecting neutral commentary from him is a bit of a muppet.

I think we need to realise that we overachieved last season and top half is more of a truer reflection of the club, as opposed to top six. I don't think it is at all. Not when you look at some of the players we've got at our disposal. Pardew's the problem for us at the moment as he's not playing to the team's strengths. Agree with Otter, given that we have Pardew at the top and he's not going anywhere any time soon. Obviously if we had a better manager, then I'd hope for more with the squad we have - as it is, I think hoping for more is a bit like hope in Shawshank. My hope is for a cup this year. A cup.

He'll keep doing it.

442. OK.

I think I got 5 points actually, hadn't realised Man City scored. Obviously got Arsenal wrong though.

Hmm, 4 points from the first 7 games, I'm starting to get a bit scared now. I'm pinning a lot of hope on this, it's going straight on my CV if I finish top 3.

You still not watching The Walking Dead, man? It's absolute shite, marra.
