Great goal that, Ben Arfa esc.

Tiote is no way as bad as some have made him out to be on here, it's not saying much but he's probably been our best player this season, and he shows more leadership on the pitch then Colo does. He's another player I could see doing well under a manager that isn't Pardew.

No, my Emo thread went down like a lead balloon. Admit that was mostly due to me losing interest in it and not updating it regularly enough. Did cobble together a final results thing here: http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,94463.msg5143842.html#msg5143842 No replies, totes understandable tbh. There you go

Very good.

I still can't get over the fact that a so called professional Premier League manager head butted another teams player

I assume i'm allowed to post this: http://www1.skysports.com/watch/video/9497019/nani-mistakes-referee-for-a-teammate

His continued employment is more baffling than Pardew's. At-least as of next season we will only have to listen to his bull shit in international games.

I get that this is a UK station and that there will always be a certain amount of bias, but Hart just made what should be a routine stop, and they are praising him like there's no tomorrow, where as if it was the other end they would be saying how well the City player did and not mentioning the Roma keeper.

Shut up Townsend you absolute tosser.

Totti

I hope M'biwa scores from a corner.

5 minutes in and i'm already annoyed at the commentary

Fucking hell, that would have been some goal.

Why? I hope he plays well and show's Pardew for the muppet he really is.

Man City vs Roma.

Virgin Media has asked broadcast regulator Ofcom to open an investigation into the way that the Premier League sells the TV rights to its live football games. The cable firm says the auction process is driving up prices for fans and causing "significant consumer harm". Ofcom said it was "considering" the complaint. The Premier League said its audio-visual rights had "always been sold in a transparent and open process". "Regulators have examined our rights packaging and sales process in considerable detail in the past and found both of them to be compliant with UK and European competition law," it added in a statement. Price rises Earlier this year Virgin Media, owned by Liberty Global, said it did not plan to bid in the next auction. However, Virgin says it is still affected because it has to pay higher prices to buy the sports channels from BSkyB and BT. "UK fans pay the highest prices in Europe to watch football on TV," said Virgin Media's chief corporate affairs officer Brigitte Trafford. BSkyB and BT currently share the rights to televise the Premier League football games. The price for the latest rights deal - covering 2013-16 - rose 70% to £3bn when it was announced in 2012. Virgin Media filed its complaint to Ofcom earlier this month. Ofcom said it would take about eight weeks to consider the complaint "before deciding whether any further action is required".

Good for him. Taylor being back, more leftbacks

If he's still here after the international break, he's here for the long haul, and we are really fucked.

Pardew's side have 19 points from 26 matches since Boxing Day, it's just criminal, how he is still in a job is beyond me.

GW 7 Hull 2 v 1 Crystal Palace Leicester 2 v 1 Burnley Liverpool 2 v 0 West Brom Sunderland 1 v 1 Stoke Swansea 3 v 0 Newcastle Aston Villa 1 v 3 Man City Man Utd 2 v 3 Everton Chelsea 1 v 0 Arsenal Spurs 2 v 2 Southampton West Ham 0 v 1 QPR

I reckon a couple of seasons in the Championship and Ashley would fuck off, so at this point I would take it if it meant we got an owner that at-least has some ambition.

And if that happens it will be until the end of December as that is the worst month of the season. Could we do worse then Derby did?, would be some achievement even by Pardew's shit standards.

Honestly can't see where our first win is coming from, QPR at home maybe, we are just truly awful.

This feels like the relegation season all over again, except this time I honestly don't give a shit.

Its on the back of Sky saying it not one person on here like Just seen the Twitter post, fml We are so bad
