PENKAAA

Took Kompany out and put Richards in. No clean sheet for Enrique either. Glad i moved Saylor to the bench and brought Neil Taylor in though.

My dad phoned me earlier which is how i found out. Was totally shocked... He said he saw him a few times around Wylam in his car and waved at him. Still can't believe it. The clapping by the Swansea fans was a nice touch.

Jesus Christ, seen Given on Sky Sports just now? Crying into his towel in the goal. Unbelievable. R.I.P. Gary Speed. A tragic loss. :'(

Just seen Ben Arfa's tirade at Rooney. Nice to see a bit of passion but obviously very unnecessarily booked. Maybe thoughts about De Jong's tackle sparked it? Rooney kicking out? It's late and i'm most probably over-analysing it.

Get in Ben Arfa lad, hope i see it on MOTD.

I hope we lose to Wigan. Wish granted.

Got to start Santon now, i'm sounding like a broken record but Raylor just can't cut it against the top teams unfortunately.

The cheer up steve bruce song belted out by our away fans, you can hear it on radio newcastle. Must have gotten wind of their result.

:lol:

I cannot fucking wait for Brewsie's interview. :lol:

FUCKING COME ON LADS. (happy angry determined face)

Ryan Taylor? Which game are you following?

Would like to see Santon second half please.

Had to have him in my Fantasy team like...

VDV not playing this week.

He's back in full training. I thought someone had already said he doesn't feature in any training pics and Pardew has already said he's out tomorrow? You can see him training in recent nufcTV videos, although that may be old footage.

wat

Mike Jones now refereeing this game in place of Phil Dowd.

You know he could be better than before. Losing a little pace could be a good thing, not clattering into defenders, more time and control with the ball at his feet. Also an injury like that has got to build mental strength which can only be a good thing. I don't think he's lost pace myself, he doesn't really rely on pace anyway but he's definitely quick. Agree with your second point. Things can be learnt from his experience and may change his mentality for the better knowing he recuperated from his horrific injury as well as he did.

People were wondering whether he would return as good as he was before he broke his leg. Those fears have been quashed. Looking forward to him against Man United.

I fucking love Ben Arfa. Ben Arfa fanboy right here.
