Preach nagger, preach

Whether he's the reason we're sixth or not. I still think he's full of shite a lot of the time.

If he doesn't trust him on the right. How much faith does that mean he puts in Simpson. I don't get it at all.

Joking aside, Sifu is right. Saylor was a massive massive blow, as was not bringing in extra backup for him. We currently have one defender who is a nailed on starter who can play comfortably with a ball at their feet and it stops us from being able to build from the back and bring the midfield in more. That's down to those above Pardew. In some repects his hands are tied but I don't see why he's persisted with the Ben Arfa nonsense. The whole he gives away possession thing is guff when you see other players losing it by punting forwad like they're at Twickenham.

Anyone see that bloke with the Gene Simmons/Ultimate warrior mask thing? Was mental looking.

He was given time to coach it out of them evidently.

It's ridiculous to think these things even have to be said...the fact that he's only even considered as a starter 10 games away from the end of the season (injury noted) is a bit....pfffft. Particularly the 1st quote.

Thought the interview was irrevalent guff for the most part. Saying Cisse doesnt get it and talking about his own excitement. Didn't really comment properly on what actually went on.

Yeah but Rome got cocky and complacent with iffy tactics too and was sacked to shit by barbarians. Works both ways chief.

3/4 of our back four will be Raylor, Williamson and Simpson after the Santon sub today. Do not see that ending well.

Ryan Taylor 'Over the Bar.'

Got to hand it to Sifu, he does optimism well.

A f***ing 'meal of it'? Are ESPN taking the p*ss here? ESPN have so far been so ANTI-Newcastle its ridiculous. Even people who are the types to turn a blind eye to bias against us from the media are noticing this. It's because we are... (gay post alert) Breaking Free, Status Quo ...BREAKING THE STATUS QUO! Hw dare we aim to finish higher than 7th!

How about we just balance the team with skillful players on the right? Someone said during the match 1st half that it was a 'dead zone' and it was completely.

Still think the fact that its easier for some arcane reason to bench/sub young foreign lads plays a part. Theres still an element of the 'this group of lads' still present with some of the less able, more anglo-cised members of our squad.

Pretty much. Mind you we are just mindless fanboys. Get the team playing around him. Not crowbarring good players that we do have into shite tactics.

Certainly earned his paycheck on that basis at least then.

Clubs fault completely tbh. I'm sure he knew he was here on the proviso of being backup.

Does he deserve credit for changing it? To an extent. I'm loathed to give it after weeks of stubborn and pig-headed bullshit though. The likes of Ben Arfa should be the linchpin of the team. I still don't think he gets either. Think with more creativity through Santon on we'd have put them to the sword personally.

Shola is effective when used sporadically. He just lacks the fitness to start and complete every 90 mins. Good sub option.

Clown. What could have been. Could have been another annhilation and 3 brilliant if it wasn't for this prats stubborn insistence of fearful tactics. Crap.

Great composure....ha wayne fucking bridge

I knew he'd miss it when Shola didn't step up. What an opportunity.

It's okay he'll call it 'textbook toughlove man management in a brand new fast forward style' or some shite; and people will swallow it.

Give it a rest. He's put several balls into the box and looked lively since the tactics made a needed change.
