I agree changes to this team will probably only happen when we lose, it would take a brave manager to change a winning team. I think Spurs will be a step too far for one or two players who are currently holding down a first team place so Ben Arfa/Marveaux and Santon will be knocking on the door soon in any case. I'd start Santon against Spurs anyway, but you're right Pardoo will be conservative about changing a 'winning team'. If he doesn't change the team to introduce HBA there, i will by myself knock at his door http://www.freebetting.co.uk/images/alan-pardew-newcastle-united-manager.jpg

Well summarised.

Coloccini "Always has a few nervy moments." FFS.

We've got one of the best shot stoppers in the league, if he begins to command his box then he's going to be immense.

I'm pretty sure you can't book train tickets that far in advance like. What is this? We're staying at yours btw. No bother mate, we live at 1 London Road at the minute (ask Cajun) - we're moving house but will probably stick on London Road, perhaps number 2 or 3. Will keep you informed. http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll215/jorennejf/Memes/HappyRageGuy.png

We did very little at all in the 2nd half and the ball wouldn't stick up front. We were crying out for changes at the front to take some pressure off our midfield and defence who had the ball coming back at them every time we had the ball up front. The change we made was the wrong one in my opinion as I thought that Ba was more likely to score than an ineffective Best. The performance wasn't just negative in the last 20 minutes, it was for most of the 2nd half and the problem wasn't with the centre of midfield or our defence, it was in the final third and that wasn't reacted to soon enough. In the end Cabaye had to come off but that didn’t have to be the case if we’d made better changes earlier in the 2nd half. Agree with you, as I do most the time.

huh? they should've had a pen and they scored a wrongly disallowed goal. they also had 25 shots to our 10, and we were lucky to not concede on 4 or 5 other occasions when poor finishing, ridiculous saves and goal line clearances, and tbh just pure plain luck saved us. might help if you'd seen the game tbh See above. If they'd have equalised we'd have put pressure on. Don't disagree that i'm blind to the game itself, but as i say - when people tot-up decisions that should've been, it's unrealistic. Well yeah, them scoring from a pen in the first half might not have been such a bad thing, you never know. May have influenced our 2nd half approach in a positive manner.

Lovenkrands and Shola being anywhere near the side is a constant reminder that we should have brought another 1 or 2 bodies in. Still crossing my fingers that we don't get any injuries in defence and that Santon doesn't suffer any more setbacks. We're going well atm but we need to hope our best players stay fit.

Talking about us Soccer Saturday now.

When he's played in the Carling Cup he hasn't been very good at all. He's done well in two reserve games though. He's been out for more than a year to be fair. Aye, he was poor at Forest but we thought he'd be absent for about 6 months when we signed him, it's now been around 15. He was playing plenty of football pre-season like, seems like he's had a few setbacks in his time with us.

Because those 3 offer absolutely bot all on the defensive side of things. I disagree, we were clearly inviting pressure on ourselves that half and they'd have at least meant we had more of the ball. Lovenkrands on is daft, he's better off bringing any of those 3 on and Cabaye couldn't have managed another 8 minutes? He's the best passer on the pitch, you keep him on unless he's really struggling imo. It's the Lovenkrands one that's really strange though, Marveaux or Ben Arfa gives us more pace and possession whereas Lovenkrands is now just a poacher who will pop up with the odd goal. Cabaye looked absolutely spent tbf, no problem with him bringing Guthrie on we didn't have anyone else to bring on. Bringing on another attacker when you're under the cosh would've been mental. I'd not have brought Lovenkrands on like, I'd have brought on Marveaux and put him in the hole. Fair enough. What the fuck is going on with Gosling by the way, it's getting ridiculous. Anyway, great result - disappointing that we made a mountain out of a molehill 2nd half but that's the first time we've won at Wolves in over 50 years and we're 3rd in the league. Hope Pardew's learning from his errors while we're getting the rub of the green, he's going to really need that experience later on. 3rd mate, 3rd. Getting a bit big for your boots there. Let's wrap up this CL place before we think about the title. Eh, I edited it almost immediately. I'd be happy with 3rd at the end of the season tbh, I'm not greedy.

The only subs we've really been bringing on the last few games are Marveaux, Sammy and Ben Arfa, not sure why he's changed tack this game.

Especially when we've got Ben Arfa and Marveaux sat on the bench, 2 players that can take the pressure off as they can actually dribble and pass.

Disallowed, phew. This is so fucking unnecessary, could have been 3 or 4 up if we pushed on.

Erm, Pardew's losing it like.

Bollocks, how much injury time are we thinking?

Jonas' was fucking Messiesque. Messi would have got a free kick. Some Barca player would have skied it. Jonas just scored. That's the difference.

He's on a quarter of million pounds a week man FFS, there is no conversation to be had here. Even if Man City went halfaz it's not happening. And that's ignoring all of the other reasons why it's massively unrealistic.

The hostility.

Balanced response.
