Smal

his first touch has never been any good really. Strange that a footballer can have such great technique when striking a ball in the 18 yard area but not actually be able to control a pass to a decent standard.

popular :lol:

don't agree with this like. Have a read of that fourfourtwo article. It highlights how he's playing loads more long passes than he used to and his accuracy is shocking.

I hate to disappoint you but it's unlikely this'll happen

don't care if Giggs, but thought this was a rare good read from fourfourtwo. Needs to be sorted asap. http://fourfourtwo.com/blogs/statszone/archive/2012/11/26/newcastle-failing-because-tiote-s-passing-statistics-don-t-cheik-out.aspx

Mike Williamson: passes - 15, accuracy - 67% Fabricio Coloccini: passes - 26, accuracy - 92%

Tioté is so poor nowadays.

what's he saying?

everything falls to pieces when Jonás gets the ball, like. Useless now I'm afraid.

christ, what the fuck is Pardew even talking about there?

Out until February now apparently

Taylor hasn't been good in the last few weeks, but he's had a few really good games this season. Williamson hasn't

still hasn't actually played in his position for us yet.

Ashley Williams does not like Suarez http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/8266779/

No Martin Taylor. That's where we went wrong

so disappointing that tackles like that Hangeland one are considered red cards now. We are far too hung up on these 'potentially leg breaking' tackles in football. Adebayor's yesterday was never a red card either. All tackles are potentially dangerous and you're as likely to break your leg in a completely innocuous tackle as any other. Tackling is part of the game and players are going to get hurt. I blame Sky and the media.

we weren't even remotely tight either . Swansea cut through us very easily on the counter and they could've scored 4 or 5 on another day

mental. And you still get the feeling that he (and Barcelona) could be playing better.

hold on... is Enrique playing left wing?

yeah, he was quietly one of our better players today. Nearly scored and set up another good chance we should've put away.

No that would be Pardew. Pardew hasn't again and again proved himself incapable of earning his wages here. he has this season.

appalling

fuck this

decision to bring Shola on was a disgrace. Unbelievable that Pardew persists
