Colo, Jonas and Krul for me as well. Tiote would be fourth.

Damn. Would have preferred him to start tbh, Campbell to start now I'm guessing?

Just won the Sheffield derby Although just checked and their form was horrific before that, 5 defeats in a row.

So, keep Pardew away from the SDA on Sunday?

Brilliant

He has to be younger than 10 I see there's a few Mag at work threads popping up as well

Is that official? Howay Timmy lad

Just called Haymarket magazines as they said I was entitled to a few free copies of FourFourTwo for some reason. Anyway, guy that I was speaking to was a Newcastle fan from London, ended up being on the phone for ten minutes discussing Cisse's good start, that Ben Arfa should be starting for us and the game on Sunday. Said he'd never been to St James Park ( ) but would love to come up for a game sometime. Thankfully it was only 2p per minute

Wish we'd whip corners in at the near post rather than the floated to the back post ones we are doing now. Jonas put in a cracking one against Wolves away which Ba managed to nod in. Sick of us floating them to the back for Williamson to nod back across and them to clear

Has it ever worked? Set piece routine that's stuck in my head was against Liverpool at home when Barton chipped a free kick in to Carroll who nodded it down for Nolan to volley home from 6 yards. Maybe that's what we're trying to replicate?

Really hope everyone is fully fit for this, looking forward to Pardew's press conference on Thursday. Nerves/excitement kicking in for the game now.

At least there's some positivity coming into this thread

Wonder which older players he would be interested in signing. I'm happy with buying the younger players tbh, just don't like the fact that it's mainly buying them to sell them off at a much higher price a few years later.

This is ridiculously confusing I think we'll finish 7th with Liverpool 6th and the FA Cup final will be contested by two teams in the top 4. That means we'd get Europa?

What did he say? Missed it tonight.

Simpson getting wound up on Twitter from little kids saying he plays hoofball I'm guessing it's a little kid with the name 'BenArfaandTiote'.

Has been all season since the Leazes Corner was split up. I still sit up there but the atmosphere is no where near as good as last year.

Didn't realise you could upgrade anything, lost 8-1 to Everton so switched it off

Put my £10 free bet from Will Hill on Lille winning at Rennes at 19/10. £0 balance in my account so the £19 would have been very nice. Rennes go down to 10 men and then Lille take the lead just before half time. Keep checking the score and it stays at 1-0 so get out the bath at the 88th minute when I think the £19 is safe, get dried, check the score and see Mevlut f*cking Erdinc equalised in the last minute of stoppage time for Rennes. F*ck off you useless twat who I've wasted so much time researching and watching video's off in the past. Absolute bellend

Great for us, Europe looking good this year if we can start playing football properly.

Hate to say it but hoping Liverpool go on to win this. Would be good if Suarez and Enrique missed their pens though.

Got a £10 free bet to be used on a single. Think I might just put it on something in the Barcelona game later, can't see anything else which will return any decent money.
