Last time they limited it to one drink per meal.

Think they usually let you buy a pint only if you buy a breakfast between 9 and 10.

Hope he doesn't play tonight

Could do with a meme here. "Ya gonna miss" Scores.

Let them bring their bags, they'll be throwing up in them at half time when we're 2-0 up. 2-0 up at half time?

Anyone know any bars in Barcelona that will be showing NUFC home games over next few months?

Based on what, exactly? His footballing ability. Which you've quite rightly said we haven't seen. So I ask again, how do you know he's a world beater? We have seen it, he just hasn't been given enough regular games for him to show it consistently. Anyone who watches the lad can tell he's a class above anyone else on our books, it's obvious. I see a player playing for himself and playing with limited intelligence. Until someone (Pardew) finds a role for him, he won't be a 'class above'

No purpose? fuck me. If Ben Arfa's got 'no purpose' then what the hell does that make non-entities like Obertan and Ryan Taylor? The only reason he doesn't fit into the team is the manager's inability to encorporate him which is completely and utterly unforgiveable. The idea that a player of his talent has no purpose while frankly rubbish players paralyse our wings is ludicrous. OK so what's his best position? What does he bring to the team? The answer currently is very little, unfortunately. As it happens I think next season is best to judge him if he's still here, having had a full pre-season, but I don't get the love for him at the minute. He runs into blind alleys, sometimes gets out, but on the whole does next to nowt. And for the record, criticising HBA doesn't mean I support Obertan (though criticism of Raylor is pretty daft considering the role he's played for us this season)

Ben Arfa is a total enigma. He has no role, no position and therefore no job when he comes on the pitch. He gets thrown on for 20 minute spells and the rest of the team leave him isolated so that he ends up forced to take people on. He doesn't fit anywhere. He's not the world beater people thought he was and he's not as shit as others think. He's just a skilful player with no purpose.

Can the pleb in the Gallowgate who keeps blowing a fake half time whistle fuck off please.

Why do you keep coming back on here if your only contribution is to say how stupid everyone is and call them names? Aren't differing opinions and debate the whole point of forums? Am I missing something? You didn't offer an opinion on the matter.

Please explain in more detail. Because he didn't come on, skin 17 players and score a wonder goal. FWIW I thought he played well today. Not brilliant, but well. Looked lively, wanted the ball and ran at defenders. Fair enough he lost it a few times, but c'est la vie when you've got a player who's in the team to create with his skill. He's still the most creative player we've got by a substantial distance.

Oh and I thought the "2-0 is a dangerous scoreline" line was a load of bollocks until this season. When we go 2-0 in games I swear Pardew says to players 'sit back and let them have one, it'll make it interesting'.

I've said numerous times this season that our close home victories 2-1 Everton, Fulham, Villa, 1-0 QPR, Wigan etc have been 'paper over cracks' results. Not one of those games did we really deserve to win, even though we did, and our league placing is seeing the benefits. Still, i'd rather we win them than not at all. It makes me sick the Pardew bullshit he span over the summer "I'm going to get them playing football", when in fact today's performance was one of the biggest hoofball ones we've produced in years.

Can just imagine Tiote intensely insisting that we'll finish ahead of him and Kalou being too scared shitless to make any sort of response. Had the exact same thought in my head. No one argues with Mr T.

How about: Demba said "with me you'll play" Cisse, Cisse. "We'll score for fun and then we'll pray" Cisse, Cisse. Sun-der-land paid for his flight but he can't stand the red and white He said "I am Newcastle's number 9"

Aye we're deluded as fuck for thinking the last quarter of the season may go similarly to the first three.

A second block of the away seats been released for sale to home fans.

He'd be roughly 4th choice for me, if even that. He'd only just make 4th choice RB at NUFC for me.

RVP interviewed saying we're a CL challenger. Hardly an earth shattering statement, but nice to hear from a player of his quality.

Probably me being skitzy, but in our championship season away to Palace at Selhurst, there was quite a squeeze at half-time outside the away end in the open and at full-time, I know there was delays in getting into the ground, deffo more than the 3K reported or something. I had my then 11 year old nephew with me and he was pretty scared, at one point some big f*** off bloke, literally pushed a few people aside so we could manovere a way to catch our breath. Just for a few minutes I thought to myself, just how easy a crush or a squeeze could happen, and this was not during the game itself but at half time and full-time. quite possible, i wasn't there but i remember similar happening at selhurst park when we played wimbledon in the league cup, loads of space all over but the police managed to engineer a crush. There was a crush at St Peter's metro after the Derby this season. Instead of letting people on a few at a time, the bobby's basically let everyone pile on to the staircase leading to the platform. Idiots. Someone could easily have been seriously hurt.

Not as nice as the current France away imo.
