My game of the season was the 4-3, made a lot better by Daves posting in the match thread, and I don't even think he was watching.

I still feel like I can call if a game is good or not despite supporting one of the teams. I really enjoyed it. The only memorabilia I have over here besides the shirts is a teddy my Mum sent over for Christmas.

fak u niel.

Use to be great when it was Keane Vs Viera. Did I miss something? I thoroughly enjoyed the game and thought a neutral would so even more. It was end to end for the last half an hour.

Jonny Evans has been better than Rio this season for me. Both been very good but if they've played 40 games between them that's the height of it. I actually think Ashley Williams should be in there instead.

Ferguson must walk. He's already on a rolling contract. Thankfully we didn't give him an eight year deal while the record was achievable.

Can't beat the points record. Fuck sake. Season ruined.

I've been saying this for years, before he was even playing professionally. :lol: Oakie Doke man.

He got that little touch on the ball. We damn sure wouldn't be taking a pen off that tackle. Still reckless. He got the tiniest little touch which didn't change the direction of the ball and then clattered into RVP. Penalty for me. Plus their goal was offside anyway so suck it Mike.

Lineups for our game today.

Bimpy. Harsh. Mole and someone else earlier in the thread both voted no by accident.

I wasn't sure if he was fit or not to be honest. Just saying that if he's fully fit then Pardew should never be starting him on the bench, regardless if he wants to go defensive or not.

Look on the bright side, maybe we'll get into the playoffs next season. That's all Mike really cares about to be honest; lesser teams managing to upset the odds in a playoff system. I bet he was ecstatic when Hull got promoted in 2008. He probably loves Phil Brown.

I really think people on this forum come down too hard on Liverpool. I know that result has a lot to do with how shot of confidence this Newcastle side are, but the bin dippers really have got some quality players now and Rodgers has them playing fluid, attacking football. They've got a pretty good defensive record in the league this season as well. Coutinho was in devastating form yesterday. You can say it was due to a poor defensive display, but some of those last third passes he was making were sublime. Each finish was pretty precise in a ruthless counter attacking display, and I don't think many clubs in the league would have been able to live with Liverpool yesterday. An interesting statistic too is that Gerrard has created almost 100 clear cut chances for his side this season, which is double what Carrick has for us. They're on the right track unfortunately, and will push for the top four next year in my opinion. That's no reason for Pardew to stay in a job mind. I'm an outsider looking in but setting up a team defensively at home, starting the best player (in my eyes) on the bench, and then being unwilling or unable to change anything when the plan goes south after three minutes is just unacceptable, and it's happening all the time. Effectively the whole side is full of young, attacking players that could do serious damage to all teams if utilised correctly. If I were a NUFC fan I'd want him sacked for not starting Ben Arfa alone. Not sure if this is a regular occurrence either but yesterday Cabaye's delivery was terrible. Every time there was a set piece of corner, he wasted it with a looping ball that was easy for Reina, or a low ball that was cleared by the first man, but again this could just be a confidence issue due to playing for a clueless manager. I do think you're safe this season, but the players are bound to hate playing for Pardew. A finish this low could see many of them wanting to move on, unless you can get a manager in who the players will want to stay and play for. Losing the likes of Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Krul, Santon etc. would be a travesty.

Fuck betting.

The player says he's 100%. Make of that what you will.... If he's fully fit and not playing that's just absurd. Even if you're going for a defensive lineup you've got to find a spot for Ben Arfa.

Is Ben Arfa fully fit?

Anyone but Perch there like. What a miss.

McLeish and O'Neill higher paid than Klopp and Conte like.

The only reason I thought he would escape the boot in the summer is because he'd get seven years worth of wages. If there's a clause in place that Ashley only has to pay a million or so he has to go. Aside from the top six, Newcastle have arguably the best squad in the league. It's a shame to see such negative play from a clueless manager. I still have a feeling you'll do Liverpool tomorrow though. Hope I'm right.

Do any of you know what his wage is exactly and what it would cost to sack him at the end of the season?

$20 on Newcastle and Arsenal. Don't laugh. You're going to beat Liverpool.
