His kicking at Stoke was appalling and today, while it was an improvement, there should have been a different tactic used in the second half other than him trying to find Demba Ba with a long ball out. Totally stifled our play as Distin cleaned up everytime.

I really like Best, always back him up but today he was poor.The offsides have been mentioned but he just didn't impose himself upon the game at all. shame that Marveaux went off early in the second as our distribution in the second half was appalling, Best could have done with more help but that doesn't excuse a lacklustre performance. The only player who actually helped us to play football in the last fifteen minutes was Ben Arfa.

Can't wait,just about to head up on the metro.hope we make everton bleed out their asses with some slick passing.just want to see us move it around and dictate play

http://ongoalsscored.wordpress.com/2011/08/12/the-lion-the-bird-and-the-seahorse/ Interesting article there about the crests of the PL clubs. In other stuff, anyone see Paul Rachubka's 'goalkeeping' in the game between Leeds and Blackpool where Blackpool won 5-0? Possibly the worst goalkeeping performance I've ever seen

Blackburn - Never to return Wigan - Never to return Bolton - Never to return In their place, I'd like to see Boro, Leeds and Birmingham back in PL

I like him, his accent's quality and he's obviously a good guy. If you look at his stats, they're not bad at all. If you look at his performances they are. He's got a very good footballing brain and has made a lot of his limited talent, when he goes I'll be happy to have called him a Newcastle player, while he's still here I'm not happy to call him a newcastle player

Rory Delap is the dried excrement that holds that side together. What a complete mess of a club they are, it's a shame Crouch plays for them as he's such a likeable guy.

Eh? How would you 'instinctively' change your 15-year old habit in a week? For several reasons: Lack of concentration with an unusual object on your face Anticipation of pain Actual pain Did well last night - didn't see him duck out of any headers/challenges, face-mask or not. Yup, you're right. He played without any inhibitions. This lad has had some start to the season

Is just plain wrong. He will have a massive future here as long as his personality is managed. There are no real signs that he's lost anything from his game, only that he's making bad decisions. He isn't ready for a start at the moment but any time he can get on and get minutes is good for him and good for us

Aye, definitely. Another groundbreaking post from everyone's favourite pre-pubescent conifer. Excellent use of conifer. I am sick of Christmas Tree's chat, I don't know if some people are finding it funny but he's just annoying. If he's still around in December at least we can be sure he'll be gone within 12 days of Christmas

thank fuck for that, sticking by my 2-2 prediction. Actually think Obertan if he starts might have a good game, would still prefer Marv

2-2 Colo and Marveaux. Just want to come out of it with no injuries and really want Arfa to pull some strings and look more relaxed and assured on the ball

Used all his subs after forty-five minutes. Fail

Absolute hero, love him more than anyone else in football but it's a shame to see him nowadays. He's not got the same energy he used to and does seem bitter. If he could get the passion fired up and help bring a team back up from the championship it would be great for him. To think that his last entry in an incredible footballing career could conceivably be the debacle of his last tenure here is horrible. Great man

Tayls is pure comedy. All those lines about not ducking out of headers better come true though as I can see how instinctively you'd be pulling out of stuff and have to force yourself not to. Has to play on Monday, if he doesn't, we're looking at a several goal deficit

Twat disguises himself in the hope that his manager mistakes him for Javier Hernandez.he fails and is asked to leave the club through gross misconduct

I've never written a complaint letter or e-mail before but what the fuck was that? Total fucking disgrace, had been out playing five-a-side and got back in time for the highlights. Was disappointed we were on last after such an exciting game and then Legard turns up with the kind of commentary you'd expect for a League Two 0-0 game and the chat about our match is 'That could be the win Blackburn needed'. Fucking disgusting

Absolutely love Mceachran. Thought he was going to push on this season but feel like there's too many people in his way at the moment.

I hope Arfa impales one of their players, aside from that, shame that Abeid doesn't get a start

That line about losing his spark is world class

Sick of it, I get the impression that some are expecting him to come in, slay some defenders, score some wonder goals then wander off to the chorus "that's the Ben Arfa we know". The lad's got unbelievable technique, incredible movement and will show it time and again this season. He needs time, he'll get it, within three or four games people will stop all this shit.

not really a rule as such but when it's obvious someone has dived or forced a sending off when nothing really happened. They should do everything they can to instate bans for these offenders. If it continues like right now, people are going to push the boundaries further all the time. Cheating is the worst thing about football, it's a joke

Balotelli is turning into my favourite non-NUFC player

What needs to happen now is: We go three nil up at the break. Then bring on the guns in the second half; Marveaux, Barf and Santon and just set up the firing squad
