Berbatov... Plays like he's skating on ice... Great to watch...

That's what I was thinking when I heard the news... Got a feeling he'll stick with the two CH's but I dare say I could invisage 8-9 changes by the sounds of it...

11 changes apparently...

Really?... Surprised considering the mess they are in... What do they expect... Very harsh on Reid... was using his own money to help with others wages etc iirc.

Playing canny... Our best performance so far this season... Still poor in the final third though...

We'll need to score today to get even a point today... Villa look a little more potent than us but maybe we'll do what we've managed to do for the last few years and bring the opposition down to our level...

Went to a few Gateshead games last season, was pretty decent considering. Just a pain to get to without the car. It's on the metro line?... Even has it's own station!

More in depth than expected... Actions will always speak louder than words... Let's all move on and get back to what matters most... The football...

122 at 25. He'll be close. As far as just comparing goal records it helps if you've played for Manchester United for most of your career... Although he became a more limited player post 97 after each major injury his chance conversion rate in some woefull NUFC teams was still the best I've seen in the PL...

There is a difference between sentimentality and man management... such insight. raylor's had a decent start, he's scored two free kicks but other than that been ok at the job he's there to do primarily. if you want to reward him leave him in the position he's had a decent start in, or put him at right back where simpson's been poor. don't weaken our midfield needlessly just to keep his spirits up, it's counter-productive. Wasn't suggesting playing him in midfield... I was suggesting that if Pardew sticks with the same back four as previous league games he can justify it...

Just re-read some of this thread leading up to him signing... Still quality... Looks like the light at the end of the tunnel is almost in sight... Fingers crossed...

Gary Cook resigned from Man City...

There is a difference between sentimentality and man management...

Mmm... The same s*** team who got a great 1-0 win at Everton and have since been took over by a new owner and have signed Barton SWP and Ferdinand... Not saying they are worldbeaters but let's not get carried away... Classic NUFC banana skin awaiting us in front of the watching millions... I think we need to remember that despite the results we have been over run for large periods in all 4 games this season... Those two are f***ing rank I presume you are predicting a comfortable away win then?... No I'm just saying that those two are s***.. It'll probably be a difficult game, as with any game in this league, especially away from home. Think you are being a little dismissive of SWP... and we hardly tore Ferdinand a new one at the SOL... Like I said whilst not being worldbeaters I think some folk on here are getting carried away if they think we just need to turn up to take all 3 points... We should be aiming too but whether we get anything is a completely different story due to our lack of creativity...

Watching Eden Hazard... What a player... Wets the appetite for HBA's return...

Cissokho and a forward with pace and anticipation would be a perfect January window... Worrying that Pardew was having concerns after the Fulham game that the forward was less likely going to happen... almost admitting Best scoring 2 made the board have a re-think...

Because, sadly, he owns the club and therefore leaves us powerless onlookers as he tarnishes and vandalises our club, our stadium and our history and identity. He makes the rules- and they f***ing suck! We aren't powerless. Tell me more... This is the people's club, it isn't Mike Ashley's. It's in our hearts and that should be what matters. Are you in the cast of One Tree Hill?

We'd have certainly given it a go, that's for sure. Imagine if the board hadn't have screwed up the Modric deal as well. Yep... Sat in the hotel only to disappear for a bigger wage deal... Maybe that would of swung Woodgate re-signing though... Every cloud has a silver lining i guess...

Sean St Ledger & Michael McIntyre... Feel free anyone to post pics... Not got the hang off it via my phone...

I agree... Nothing against positivity... I just wonder what people are seeing that I'm not this season... Can't think of us creating many chances from open play in all 3 games... Cabaye against Arsenal... Gosling against Sunderland and the two converted along with Ba off the bar... Plenty of grit and determination though which we'll need down there...

Dyer thought he was a lot of things... Doesn't always make it so... He looks far more comfortable and effective on the right than he does left the times I've seen him... I took it as a more, "I'll play anywhere for the team" type quote. Possibly was but looked like it was being highlighted on here to confirm he's two footed and as good a LB as RB... IMO he's not... Looking forward to see how he gets on... Very athletic and will assist aerially at the back with his height...

Not questioning any of this myself... But these are his biggest two injuries to date for a player that is stats will bare out rarely plays 40 games a season for one reason or another in the first place... There are bound to be question marks whether he returns the player most of us know he is... I'm hopeful but only time will tell... HBA's signing was the most excited I've been since Shearer and Ginola previously... It's just a shame the way it's turn out for us and him so far... Fingers crossed...
