lets give it as good a go as we can, nowt to lose and they can be got at judging by the first leg

want to give some credit to the ref at the QPR game, was calm and took his time consulting his linesman before giving the red card which imho was correct

His biggest downfall is his stubborn attitude. Yet again we have had to learn the hard way by waiting near a whole season to play proper football just because he was so damn sure his negative tripe would grind out results like last year when we got super lucky most games. No different starting Ben Arfa, Santon and Marveaux. Desperately needs to stop trying to save face when its blatant he is wrong. Can't fault his passion though. tis a rare manager who doesn't have a stubborn belief in what he's doing is right

Shola for Gouffran??? need to get him warmed up for European heroics and mackem slaying http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhovnxSTDN1qz7flt.jpg (image courtesy of the shite seats)

how many is he on now?

for me theres more laughter factor in Wigan winning, laugh at Harry and Sunderland

Commentary on nufctv said hamstring had gone but that was based just on watching it

made the changes needed to get the win as for Shola sub, who else was there who could get a goal?

his natural attributes of helping the full back out more than most other wingers means I would feel reasonably confident with him at Full Back if he needs to fill in there

Getting into the Wrestlemania spirit

was Maradonna in fact right and he is a full back?!!!

ah relief, sounded like we deserved it anyway

OptaJoe ‏@OptaJoe 2m 3 - Newcastle have scored a 90th minute winner in three of their last four Premier League home games. Brinksmanship.

was some twitter bullshit about that yesterday iirc

And before anyone says anything here, a couple of years ago this was different as it appeared that we were an unattractive club who players didn't want to be 100 miles of with an owner who was unwilling invest/was just going to pocket the cash etc. That simply isn't the case at all now. bit of a way to go before you can call us a club that should be battling for the top 4 every season with the sides all battling for it atm Yeah, because they all have top managers. Chelsea fans would disagree, but they have other advantages Chelsea can buy their way into the top 4, Arsenal are staying in on sheer inertia at this stage, Liverpools history and profile allows them to have an easier job of attracting better players like Suarez to the club who would never come here even if we were in the identical position to Liverpool when trying to sign him from Ajax. Arguably the ones who don't have a significant advantage over us are Everton who can barely be called in the cl race any year but could be said to be challenging for it and they stuck with Moyes even after a relegation battle after a good season and Spurs who have a similar enough methodology to us in how they work but are a few years further down the line. A few years ago they were still challenging for the top 4, as they have been for donkeys because they've had good managers. Moyes is a better manager than Pardew too, just because they stuck with him and it worked doesn't mean it's the same with every manager. It's the same with Fergie "What if Man U sacked him back in 93!" or whenever it was, well yeah, but what if they stuck with Alan Pardew in 93? Moyes had a chance to prove himself a good manager at Everton, Pardew after last season should be allowed this season as a bad one with a chance to show he can produce better again next season imho (assuming we stay up)

unless not being in the top 4 is all a part of as the chelsea "fans" put it "the interim ones" grand plan to avoid the CL places to fuck over Chelsea because he hates the club
