Hughesy

Remember him being extremely highly thought of a few seasons ago - did something go wrong?

The same Villa who has drawn 2 games 0-0 out of 3 will tear us a new one...?

I reckon right winger to be honest. Can't say I've heard many people say right forward.

Czech goalie..http://www.teamtalk.com/newcastle-united/7135336/Magpies-move-for-keeper?

I like the sound of Roux - can't say I have seen him play but he sounds like the kind of player we need.

What a hero. Class player.

Probably posted already - http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/sport/lukeedwards/100018657/joey-barton-is-a-fine-footballer-but-is-he-really-worth-the-hassle/

He knew most of it was there, he didn't know he would have to pay it off within two months. I still can't believe that Ashley didn't ask to see the terms of the various loans we had. It would have taken about 2 mins to check whether there was a change of control clause - which there would normally be anyway.

Moron.

Same here oddly. Can't quite work it out.

Erm, that's not my attitude. Suits his argument better if you just say it is.

Tiote is slow?? Eh??

Sunderland were lucky to even be in the game at HT vs Liverpool. Looked absolutely awful.

On in Sweden (probably all of Scandinavia) on Viasat. Someone mentioned it being on in the US as well. Probably on in most of the world bar the UK tbh Cheers - on holiday at the moment, so hoping it'll somehow be on tv here.

Is the match on tv in any other countries? .com doesnt have a list up yet.

That JJ Hooper guy played for the town I live in in Kent. Might find out if anyone knows much about him.

where's Hughesy when you need him? Top bants, fella.

nah i'm not a miserable prick like Hughesy let him wallow in his internet seriousness You don't play nice.

Oh dear.

I imagine my life would be that much richer if I could think up little nicknames for people at NUFC. But then I'm not 8 years old, so I'll manage.

i don't know, call him whatever you want i just copied it off someone how about "alan lyingfacedyesman", any better for you? I reckon Pardew would work actually.

Just for future reference - is 'parnsip' meant to be a witty, yet insulting name for Pardew?

irrelevant, we played them yesterday when they looked weak and out of sorts No, my point is, we make them "look" weak by killing their game. That's why I said Pardew shouldn't be criticised for the tactics employed. they had enough opportunities to bury us man, if it wasn't for gervinho farting about and the usual arsenal overplaying they'd have won comfortably we didn't create a chance worthy of note iirc his tactics were ok if we went out for a point, 20 minutes into the 1st half i thought all 3 were there for the taking, never mind the sending off Our best chance was a far better chance than any of theirs..

Dyer was a quality player for us at his best. Sir Bobby himself would have told you that (well, he did, in his autobiography). Pace, movement, dribbling, could beat a man, decent finishing when through on goal, and quite importantly he was someone who encouraged the team to play on the deck. The constant injuries were always going to catch up to him, as they would do with any player. Section on Dyer in Robson autobiography is hilarious. Basically lists all his faults (a lengthy list) and then says he is good.

An embarrassing draw against a top 4 side, someone must be blamed. He wasn't the worst striker on the pitch but he MUST be blamed. Well - we must have a scapegoat.
