Away Toon

Walcott is a very good athlete and a very average footballer. It's interesting that Ozil's brilliance illustrated that point perfectly against the mackems, he set up Walcott with exquisite passes laid on a plate, and Walcott fluffed them all.

i'd be disappointed if any of our players did wear rainbow coloured fucking gay laces. Give me a break.

How much did Chelsea pay for Shirley? He's shite.

well apart from getting thrashed by Man City, who look pretty shit so far when people actually stand up and have a go at them.

Lucky the ball didn't fall to Cisse he was well offside.

It's all falling apart. Debuchy hoping for an early bath.

Well nobody will be buying Krul for a while. Useless.

I see Santon still can't defend, positionally fucking useless.

If we get rogered with this team, there will be no where to Turn to. This is the team that everyone pretty much wanted, we have to play well and get a good result. The alternative is that Pardew will bring back, Taylor, Tiote, Jonas and Shola

I would like to second the above. What an opportunity we had, that was blown by not investing at the end of the season when we finished 5th. I don't think we are going to be anywhere near that successful again under Ashley and Pardew.

Anybody (and I'm talking about you toptoon) that suggests Tiote should start instead of Anita, hasn't been watching the shit he's produced for the last 18 months or has any understanding of how a modern midfield functions. And no we don't need a fucking tackle in there.

Well better than England anyhow. What ever happened to Mexico?

It's another horrible boring game between two poor teams, a bit like England and Ukraine earlier.

Why no Jozy?

We are just rank fucking awful. Combined technical ability of sweet fuck all. I'm hoping we lose to stop all this bullshit.

Since signing for us our French internationals are not doing very well. MYM not considered at all, Debuchy dropped for Sagna, Cabaye left out for being a twat, and Sissoko dropped tonight. The moral, don't go and sign for a crap team with a dinosaur of a manager.

If the intention is to buy them cheap and then sell them high, it's not working, essentially because our dimwit of a manager has them playing so badly nobody wants to buy them. The alternative theory is that most of the players we buy are cheap and crap in the first place and have no resale value anyhow.

Quite a surprise Sissoko starting for France and playing in the middle as well. Pardew please take note you thick cunt.

I know lots of people seem to dislike him, but Jordi Alba is the best LB in the world.

It's all about the football, the entertainment, the excitement, and invariably Mourinho's team disappoint. Benitez Chelsea were much easier on the eye than this version so far. He plays percentage football irrespective of all the fantastic players he has. It might be effective most of the time, but entertaining it's not.

Leaving aside whether or not Gouffran is any good (I suspect he's not), its an excellent podcast with lots of interesting subjects brought up.

I don't think that Newcastle fans are furious at what's happening. The minority, but majority on here, are resigned to the situation and have been for a long time now, and the majority that go to the matches every week, are living in some kind of heroin addled state of confusion where the piss taking smells of champagne.

I believe that under the FFP rules clubs are allowed to lose up to 105M over the next three years, something that fat Mike is obviously not planning on doing.

Once this bull shit is over can someone put up a summary of what each club has spent this summer so we can see in black and white how pathetic this is, and secondly a poll on where people think we will finish this season. Last year I went for 7th I think, I'm not going to be quite so optimistic this one.

I think we are stuck with the moody cunt and he's stuck with us. He would be my third choice in centre midfield anyhow behind Anita and Sissoko.
