Come on you should know that. You share a name with his new club.

Out of curiosity, what happened to our Amalfitano? Haven't heard about him in ages.

It kind of helps to be a rose among the thorns and follow a team like Newcastle in an area like mine littered with gloryhunters. When you meet football fans expecting you to answer Man U or Arsenal when asked what team you support, it feels great to be able to stick my neck out and say Newcastle. It gives them a notion that you seem to be more "in the know" as you have an unusual taste in clubs. Always have to concede the banter though due to NUFC's typical mediocrity. For that, I wish we could have an 11/12 season more often. It felt f***ing brilliant to have one year of being the noisy one among the ManU and Chelsea fans, especially after we beat them. I haven't met a natural Geordie yet, though I've seen a British looking man walking round a mall in our Championship banana kit. Shame I wasn't wearing my toon kit that day, would've sparked an interesting conversation. Still haven't been to Mecca Newcastle, though hopefully when I graduate I'd be granted my wish. Heard my university has some links to a number of schools in the UK so maybe I could jump if the chance presents itself. (As if I'm a top student though )

It started out with my dad bringing this s*** home back when I was a kid: Somehow it got me stuck on it ever since.

Whenever I've watched, it's always been a 3-1 loss or a 2-2 draw for us at Goodison. Guess I'll go for the latter.

Jimmy Bullard Dean Ashton Ledley King Owen Hargreaves Harry Kewell Shame they're made of glass, really.

GW6: Tottenham 1-1 Chelsea Aston Villa 1-3 Man City Fulham 1-0 Cardiff City Hull City 0-0 West Ham Man Utd 2-0 West Brom Southampton 3-1 Crystal Palace Swansea 2-2 Arsenal Stoke City 1-0 Norwich Sunderland 1-2 Liverpool Everton 2-2 Newcastle

He's a midfielder but he stuck to his defensive duties more effectively than any of our back four.

I fear this bit the most, and the repercussions it would have on Pardew's future team selections. I really wanted this team to get the convincing win to prevent him from hiding in his shell again to put in a no-frills style and lineup. It's true that after today, he should drop some players. However, I have no faith in his ability to pinpoint where and how the changes would be made.

Seriously i don't think the rest were that bad.... but Debuchy was f*cking horrific. He's the main reason we lost today and i'm in a vile mood, thanks a lot you french t***. MYM and Colo were terrible too. I really don't think they were..... neither were to blame for any of the goals.... there were all Debuchy's fault.... the first two were due to his awful positioning and they both should have been picked up by him and even the third he was awful for and the midfield not picking up Aluko if he wasn't playing we win today IMO. I honestly couldn't blame Colo or MYM for any of the goals. MYM invited pressure tbh and Santon was often well out of position when we lost the ball. Bollocks. Nah, it takes more than 1 out of a back 4 having a bad day to be THAT all over the place. The whole backline was defending alone all game, which makes it look worse. Nope. Anita was dropping into positions when one of the back 4 would go for a run around. Aye. As intelligent as that is from Anita, he can't do it every minute.

Hope we'd try Santon on the right and Dummett at left back. Undecided if MYM should be flogged for Saylor.

Like the team, I follow up a decent week with a shower of s***.

Krul 6 Debuchy 4 MYM 4 Colo 5 Santon 6 Anita 7 Sissoko 7 Cabaye 6 Ben Arfa 5.5 Remy 8 Cisse 3 Gouffran 5 Marveaux 5 Tiote 5 Pardew 4

Pretty easy tbh for Hull to think of focusing on our right flank. Shut down Ben Arfa and exploited Debuchy. Two birds, one stone.

And went back to the long ball which I haven't seen all season.

It was over after 3-2. When we're behind we'd always result to long ball under Fartpoo. All that enterprising play, gone. Credit to Hull though, organized, stuck to their gameplan well.

Missed that, nice to hear it aired again

First goal we've scored without HBA involved

GW5: Norwich 2-1 Aston Villa Liverpool 2-1 Southampton Newcastle 2-0 Hull City West Brom 1-1 Sunderland West Ham 0-1 Everton Chelsea 3-0 Fulham Arsenal 1-0 Stoke City Crystal Palace 1-2 Swansea Cardiff City 1-2 Tottenham Man City 1-2 Man Utd

I know others prolly got better but I really haven't tasted this much correct scores before.

Have to shout that Tiote looked pretty calm when he came on. Heard a few years back when we got him that he was mostly a defensive sub for Twente to hold on to leads. Could do with that if he keeps it simple.

Aye, credit to Villa. Played some quality stuff.

First birthday win for me. We could really kick on from here.

Fucking yes.
