Tiotes Witch Doctor

Same here, love the unfeasibly long line at the end. "I was recently watching the best Newcastle goals in history, I've been here 6 months and all they show is me!" Best line

Watched it 3 times now, still creased.

I know we aren't allowed to post links to You tube on here, but if anyone wants a laugh search for Ba v Cisse: The Rap Battle. Hilarity.

Ben Arfa is starting.

Of course they're allowed to drink water!

Gosforth mate

Actually cant sleep because of excitement for tomorrow. Cashed in £500 worth of shares in from work that I didn't know I had, got 3 days off with a weekend of football, doesn't get much better!

We will have our strongest team out tomorrow I'm absolutely certain of that. There is an article on Sky Sports where Pards is saying that he doesn't know what to expect from Spurs, this business about players being injured is just to even the playing field.

1-1 for me, but think we could nick it.

After seeing his first interview on NUFC TV I'm now even more excited about this signing, he knows nigh on perfect English already and he spoke with great passion about improving himself and showing what he can do. Seems very confident and raring to go aswell, wants to play on Saturday if Pards wants him to. Seems like a very likeable guy, which is in keeping with the trend at the club at the moment, reckon he will slot in nicely.

Burst into laughter at how awful that article is, 12 hour old news, with a 3 line article, the stuff of world class journalism

aye there is. Walked past once and saw some lad whitey all over the floor in there. Divine. Not a patch on Dixy's.

Debuchy injured = we'll get him for cheaper

Ben Arfa is out. The rest will be fit. Think Pards had a little slip at the talk in when he was talking about how 'Cheik will probably get booked after 12 minutes'. I hope you're right about that. Aslong as we replace Hatem with Marveaux and NOT Obertan we should still line up very strongly.

Can't be arsed to look back through the thread, but has anyone heard anything about injuries? Last I heard, Ben Arfa is definitely out and Cabaye, Tiote, Cisse, Ba and Coloccini are doubtful

Now that this deal is nearing completion all I can think about is who we're gonna sign next, I'm such a selfish bastard.

Fully expecting this deal to be announced tomorrow morning.

Whatever that is, it will haunt my dreams till the day I die.

I have a feeling they may do well, for a season or two, maybe even flirt with europe. As players, fans chairmen will listen to his blarney bullshit for a while. its when people become tired of his tripe, and lots more money is needed to get fresh people in to listen to him again, that things will go very wrong very quickly. Might aswell just gan support them down the road mackem kernnnnnt.

Making it a 4-2-1-3 which pushes Ba back out wide, I agree its a much better system but since Demba has been promised a central role we might not see it

Pardew wouldn't do it but I would have Perch in for Simpson and that would be my formation also. You say that but we played that exact system in one of our pre-season friendly's.... Not with our full strength team though.

Why's this dead and buried? No news whatsoever about any new bids from anywhere and the fact that the club have came out and said they wont do business with us sort of gives me that impression tbh

4-2-2-2 tbh. Krul Debuchy Douglas Coloccini Santon Tiote Anita Ben Arfa Cabaye Cisse Ba Two attacking fullbacks pushing forward to make up for the lack of width. I honestly believe this was the original plan had we managed to acquire all main targets.

Probably because if Tiote or Cabaye got injured we have no established CM's to replace them.
