No problem. Thanks for giving me something to read every day.

They've a new thread on it. Seems he wasn't drunk just ill. Hope he gets well soon.

Ba let us down today. I know he was on his own up there, but he needs to win some headers. If he wants to be in the center he has to be able to bring the ball down or knock it on for someone.

When Shola came off, I think everyone could tell; we weren't going to have any more retention of the ball to relieve the pressure.

It's always gutting to drop points this way. But, at least we put in a performance today. I couldn't've said that about many matches this season. Progress.

I like David James opinion.

Seconded. He always seems to have sensible opinions.

Not as good as Shearer

Is there an app for this? I cant get on it while at work....

Just joined up. Team name: Titanic Deckchairs.

Now to find something to put the rest of the £5 deposit on.

Ryan Tayor on the right of our midfield makes us look more balanced and ultimatly more composed and successful as a unit. His positional awareness is always fairly sound.

So what shade of sheep does that make me?

sessegnon looked class on motd to be fair.

I'd sign Anthony Janeszko just for his cheesy smile tbh

Haha, very true. Looks like a booby prize from the Hoppings.

 

"Sorry kid, you failed to hook a duck. Take this s*** mask and be off."

 

 

 

Ps- I still love to see it though.

Doubt you'll see it again, he chucked it into the crowd.But maybe there's more than one...

Nice Interview. I like his workrate recently. Initially I thought he was lazy, but he seems to track back a lot more than he used to. I'm happy for him to be in the squad, but I'd prefer strong and intelligent over fast and tricky for the wings.

Krul

Simpson Coloccini Santon

Taylor Gosling Cabaye Jonas

Ben Arfa

Ba Shola

At first I was thinking: "here we go again..."

But actually. This isn't the most mad suggestion people have been putting in this thread. You would effectively have 5 at the back when defending and you'd have all 3 of our most attacking players on the pitch. So long as the wide men are disciplined and HBA drifts to either wing there's no reason why it couldn't be effective.

There's no way we'll see it at the weekend though. It's the sort of thing you'd have to commit to for a whole season, and even then you'd expect results to drop before seeing any benefits. I know someone (I think simpson on twitter?) said they'd been training with 5 at the back, but I'd be very surprised if there's a change from 4-4-2; players need consistency to perform.

Theres something wrong when shola comes on for you and the team is vastly improved. Expected more from him today. I know it's been said before, but his reluctance to play the ball is getting maddening. Im sure he will improve once hes got a goal.

We let them slow the game down too much. Was frustrating as hell watching them lazily pass it around for ages before the inevitable launch up  to sturridge.

Dont think he should still be talking about us tbh. Hes not here, we no longer affect him, so he should stop stirring shit up.

It's just incredibly unprofessional.

The prick'll be receiving a sternly worded letter, from yours truely, I can assure you.

My dad called it st James park, do da do da

I still call it st James park, thats what itll always be.

Thats what it'll always be, thats what itll always

Well always call it st James park, that's what itll always be.

I think the tune is called Yankee do da.

Anyway, thats my attempt. I Hope we can come up with something good and hopefully something that doesnt mention ma or whatever hes calling our ground.

"In fact, the Premier League is so poor this season I reckon as many as 14 teams will finish in the bottom half."

I just find it funny that they constantly call each other mags.Whereas outside this thread they hardly get a mention on here. Or is that just my black and white glasses again?

It's the mackemedia

 

And sadly, that actually has a better ring to it than magedia.

someone should set up a makemedia wikipedia to keep track of it all.

We have quite a few players at the moment who don't seem to be able to manage a full 90 minutes.

Marveux, HBA, Ba, Best, Sammy. I would want all of them to play some part in the game.

So 2 of them have to start the match. You can't start both Best and Ba (or you're forced to use Shola). After last night I'd want to see more link up play between Marv and Hatem (on the radio they seemed to have a good understanding) so ideally they need to be on the pitch at the same time. And Sammy isn't  experienced enough to start. You want Jonas to be involved because he's the most defensive minded of the wingers and Obertan must surely feature because he's the only naturally right sided option.

Also I'd hate to see Cabaye being less involved in the attack if we play 4-2-3-1

I wouldn't want to be in Pardews shoes right now...there's no way he can get this right.

will there be any highlights on telly/ Anything I could record to watch the goals?

 

BBC, tomorrow night.

cheers

will there be any highlights on telly/ Anything I could record to watch the goals?

We need shola for the penalties so he'd better calm the fuck down. Who else will take one?
