Whey that's just daft. He deserves almost all the credit for Sissoko's performances. Granted he didn't come up with the idea of signing a defensive midfielder and using him in an attacking position but he's utilised Mo really, really well. Pardew in "square peg in square hole shocker". I see your good use of Sissoko, but raise you 6 months of Cisse on the wing.

What finally tipped it for me was the Chelsea game when we got it back to 2-2. You could visibly see him tell us to sit back and hold on to what we had. Thankfully the players thought "fuck it we can win this".

I'm adamemt that anything positive we do on the pitch is despite this fucker, not because of. We've got a squad now where anything less than 8th next year is shameful

You think we're more likely to go down than stay up?

I think we'll go: Elliot Simpson Taylor MYM Haidara Cabaye Tiote Sissoko Marveaux Cisse Shola

How does that mitigate for him? Nine out of ten of his corners turn our attack in defence. I didnt say it mitigated him, I said that on the occasion he does put a decent delivery in, we don't win the header. Which means, using your logic, that for 9 out of 10 of his corners, the opposition win the first ball. Even if a corner is poor, you'd expect us to come out with possession roughly 50% of the time. Think before you type.

Plz reattach hamstring and b fit.

TBF to him, we don't have anyone in the side who can actually win headers from corners either. Whenever he does hit a half decent corner, we never win the first header.

In his first half a dozen games he's looked a 7/10 RB for defending and an 8.5/10 going forward.

Harsh as fuck on us that.

Agree, and Pardew knows it. Plus with Cabaye as skipper we're a hell of a lot more likely to hold on to our other top players.

"The fans were getting restless, as they do up there" Sorry Alan f***ing McInally for not sitting silently as we marched towards relegation. c***. It's not even worth getting wound up about. It's like he's a parody for 'generic pundit who pulls out cliche about nufc fans'.

The referee.

But just the right size if they use numbers

We hadn't won away in B&W or the European kit until the last game we wore each of them away. Time to complete the hat trick today

TV money should sort that out, unfortunately.

Returns to the Blackburn squad today for the first time since his injury apparently. Good luck to the lad.

Aye and only one game tomorrow. Imagine if the FA saw this. "They whinge when we move games for TV, so we stick 8 games on the Saturday, with 7 as 3pm kick offs, and they still whinge"

£10 on Brighton to beat Huddersfield Stoke to beat West Ham Cardiff to beat Boro. Returns £82.

Anything more than a one goal defecit from the away match and we're knackered. If Hatem is going to play anytime soon then I'd prioritise him playing in this over the league.

It was just like one of his corners, would have clipped the ankles of the first person it came accross. It's baffling how such a good player is so shit at set pieces.

There should be an hour or so between games where we can all go to Shearer's for a chill out drink.

If the other teams don't swap, any two footed challenges will be allowed

This is now fully paid up at NUFC, so we've guaranteed our slots. Ollie has contacted the two teams who may swap. One has said no, and the other one has a number of players currently in Afghan so they're trying to contact them to see if it's ok, but could be a while. We'll definitely be playing on the Sunday, but whether it's a team in the 10am and a team in the 2pm game or not, we're not sure. So i guess you can book flights as long as you ensure you're in Newcastle all day on Sunday 26th May.

Rob Lee at Wembley 2000 would be epic - especially if you can get all the Mags celebrating! Shearer mullering Desailly at home to Chelsea. Kelly's goal in 1992 to keep us up at Pompey. Cole's goal in the 2-0 away at Grimsby that sent us up. Liam O'Brien's 'I fancy Liam O'Brien over the wall' in 1992 at Roker.
