Big Sam will be over the moon if Sissoko is out. ..more so if Jonas is in the midfield again.....hope that's not the case..we've GOT TO win the midfield battle to stand any chance.

Jonas? *sigh* Howay man Pardew...give us a break...

Shola instead of Sissoko and it's not the worst thing? Howay man - it's a disaster. Because Sissoko on the wing was working? Not saying it was BUT even out of position he still adds more than Shola.

Well that makes them better men than me. Ha - touche

I'm confused - I thought we were being charged over 12 months now?

Pardew just needs to reign Tiote in and get him back to basics and stop trying to make him Essien and we'll be ok.

I'm going to 4-2 to the Toon Optimistic as ever

Elliot Simpson Taylor Colo Anita Tiote Cabaye Sissoko Ben Arfa Cisse Gouffran Best formation EVER !! Got win written all over it.

Defo lost the dressing room - that wasn't a team on Saturday playing for their manager.

I don't fear Carroll as much as I do Nolan. Carroll probably wants to come back one day and has a lot to lose, Nolan will do anything to score. Yep i'm s*** scared of Nolan, especially considering the space between our back 4 and midfield at the moment. He can have the ball in there all day, he's no threat outside the box Nolan depends on Carrols flick on's....something I hope are going to be few far and between.

It all boils down to sessegnon really - he's been the creative force for them of late. If he's suspended I'd put my money on them loosing both games.

Bet it's rescinded. But hopefully not as I can't see them winning a game without him. He was awful tonight, which coincided with Sunderland being poor.

Just hope Carroll has a 'bad' day....nudge nudge wink wink Andy....

Aye who aren't being played in centre midfield. Cabaye started as the advanced midfield at the weekend allegedly. For about 10mins - was soon in his CB role.

3 straight red

indeed.

What did he say like? Don't buy all your players from one country, especially on 3 for 2 deals. If they are seen as good value, check their sell by date. Buy British Farm Assured beef. Three are full French internationals giz a break Gary.

King Kev would let Benny loose.

Coz I'd be suprised if we get another point and Sunderland are above us with far better GD. Want the team bellow us to lose True
