His temperament is certainly better than Debuchy's.

Very well put. I am pleased we are winning, but this is nothing new. Pardew's tenure is characterised by extreme peaks and troughs; there is rarely any consistency. I am sure we will go on another awful run at some point in this season and he will be under extreme pressure again. But more than anything else, after four years now I just don't feel like he has brought the team forward significantly. We don't have any discernible style, over the period several youngsters careers have severely stagnated and he certainly isn't getting the best out of the squad we have.

Think so, pretty sure he was playing at CB for St Mirren as well.

Pardew said a couple of weeks back that he felt Dummett's future was at CB. Has looked surprisingly comfortable there.

Certainly better than the last couple of Spanish 'strikers' that we had the misfortune of signing.

"Hopefully we will come out top in terms of luck.."

(4-3-3): Krul; Janmaat, Coloccini ©, Dummett, Haidara; Sissoko, Abeid, Colback; Cabella, Perez, Ameobi.

It's a giant shirt isn't it? It always looks a bit naff as it never properly gets unfolded. It's definitely been at at a few matches this season.

Bang on really.

Unlikely to feature for the first team due to his contract situation according to the Telegraph.

I just think he lacked a little bit of composure with the shot, he probably thought he had more time but with the sloppy interplay of passes between him and Ayoze, that Moreno (who is absolutely rapid) was on him straight away. Hope he starts on Sunday, but I won't hold my breath.

No.

73 points, with Chambers annoyingly on the bench.

Our profits are going to be incredible.

Couldn't tell you the last time I had a smile on my face at fulltime having watched Newcastle. Thrilled, hopefully we get a decent draw.

3,000 I think. No doubt there will be countless empty seats in the home end though.

Agreed. Wouldn't surprise me if before the meeting they outright stated that they would not comment on Pardew's future.

Standard 4-0 defeat I suspect.

He was excellent after his goal, could see the confidence it gave him.

Yeah, said we are 'sleeping giants'.

How many seats are actually available for £15? Very few I would suspect and of course, it is only for select fixtures as well.

I am increasingly worried about the risk of relegation if Pardew sticks around too much longer. Two home games against Leicester and QPR are the only games in the next two months that I think we should be winning. Could genuinely see us with only ten points or so at Christmas.

Lascelles training with the England first team today.

Flash flooding in Montpellier.
