Owen says that deflected strike from Alaba save was 'routine' when it's taken a huge deflection, keeper has all his weight on the wrong side prior to the deflection and a sea of bodies in front of him. How this cunt earns a living off commentary is beyond me.

And earlier in the season in the 5-1 loss, Ashley just completely forgot that Pardew owed him money.

What a stupid bint. "Should Palace beat Manchester United in the impending FA Cup final there could well be resounding cheers on Tyneside". Erm... nar.

The idea of Rafa going to Everton I think is laughable, he loves Liverpool and their fans and his family live over there. I can't see him risking his reputation over there by going to Everton and after the 'small club' comment he just wouldn't be accepted by their fans. I personally think he's staying here whether we go down or not, especially with him releasing players such as Obertan and Marv early now instead of potentially leaving them for 'the next manager' to come in and decide if they want to keep them in the Championship when we start losing players.

1-1.

Can't believe this bloke has won a PL title. He couldn't even defend his VK's when I minesweeped him twice in one night in Whitley Bay back in '11.

May as well be.

This. Although the hand is in a more 'obvious' position for handball, I don't see any contact. O'Neill(?) against us quite clearly handballed TWICE in the buildup to that winner. He's a fucking imbecile.

Not at all. The quotes thing wasn't calling anyone out in any way, it was purely just to provide examples of where people had said that and KI appeared to call me out for bullshitting because I'm not one of the posters he likes to arselick on here.

I just watched game of the day there and tbf he seemed involved quite a bit, certainly miles better than he has been for months.

Unreal hypocrisy. You missed the full quote.

Is this on Sky Sports 1 or a different channel? Could I watch it on Sky Go? yes,no, yes Cheers.

Agree with this but I'm not sure how it's the case, when every other players including even Sissoko seems to have regained theirs.

2 people? Nice counting. Also comparing him to Obertan I'm sure counts, or is probably even worse. Anyway people had their opinion before his signing and that's fine, we've all been wrong on players before.

Really? Who are these people?

Likewise.

To think so many would rather have seen Thauvin played instead of signing Townsend.

Goal against Blackburn won me £120. Still a useless mong though.

He should be given a 3 game ban just for that fucking pathetic attempt at a punch.

Now they're out of the bottom 3 I'll be interested to see how they cope. All their previous 'great escapes' have been when it looked nailed on and they were fucked so had little to play for. Now the pressure is on them and they're leading the pack (of shite), which is something they're not really used to. Hopefully the pressure gets to them.

:lol:

I generally find Liverpool fans online to be complete morons, totally deluded and just idiots in general. Since living here everybody has been sane enough and everybody seems to hold Newcastle in high regard too, even pre-Rafa. I used to fucking hate them because of the online perception I had but since living here and especially now they have Klopp I do like to see them do well.

He was a DM for Toulouse and by his own admission he modelled his game based on the style of Vieira. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1512720-newcastle-signing-moussa-sissoko-is-a-superstar-in-the-making I can't say if he plays DM or CM for France or anything, but I recall Deschamps being amused when he found out Pardew was playing him as an AM and told him not to expect to play for France in that position.

The change in attitude is obviously a major factor, but we need rememeber he was a DM at Toulouse where he gained international recognition and Deschamps was pissing himself laughing when he found out Pardew was playing him as an AM. He's totally shirked his defensive responsibilities when playing in advanced positions, but I think playing him as a CM to implement his physical presence and tackle and transport the ball is where he's best suited. Edit: Top players (whether you categorise Sissoko in that bracket or not, in terms of ability is one of our best) are rarely going to play for managers they don't respect when they've got eyes on their next move. Jokers like Pardew, Carver and McClaren were never going to be able to get the best out of him long term. Maybe Rafa can.
