I'd love it if I was one of the New French players, must be nice to see people making an effort to welcome you. It does remind me quite a bit of Semi-Pro mind. Its all pretty harmless either way.

3 wins out of the last 4 in the league, 10 goals scored, unimaginable a few weeks ago. chuffed.

Jonas VC experience wise makes sense.

Hahaha what a great way to get back on the scoresheet. Ridiculous.

Quelle Surprise!

Tiote doing a homage to Parker's time here.

Tiote's hair is ridiculous. Seems to be working mind.

he's as thick as mince.

oh papisto

non floated corner, equally as potent.

Is it me or does every game we play feel like the opposition have more players?

vintage Newcastle.

What nationality would we describe Shola as now. Is he Nigerian? Edit: Not really relevant to your point but it just made me think. Our only regular English players are centre backs and Sammy. Our strikers are (were) French Speaking so it kind of makes sense.

Only affects Durham and Sunderland played yesterday marra.

What do you attribute it to out of interest? I think its partly down to our lack of movement and also at times I feel we try to play the ball forward at every opportunity. Last night we didn't seem to have any desire to have possession for possessions sake.

Its our inability to have the ball do the work that is proving a major hindrance when we are in front. For most of the first half yesterday Metalist pressed aggressively. They couldn't have kept it up for the entire match and yet once we had taken the lead we could not control possession. When we do hold onto results it seems that often it is by virtue of backs to the wall rather than controlling the tempo of the game and draining our opposition.

I'm Alan Pardew you're a metalist!

Cabaye is like a rich man who will do everything he can to avoid paying taxes. Ridiculously good looking, oh i'll still be a twat.

playing possum

he used to wear tights

Cabaye is such a scheming man, he's like tony soprano out on the pitch.

All black people look the same apparently. Even when they have names and numbers on their back.

OMFG the bbc live text page just updated itself with GARETH BALE WATCH "Unbelievable scenes in Lyon - Gareth Bale hasn't scored and we're 30 minutes in. Disappointing from the Welshman. He does manage a run at the Lyon defence, but he overhits the ball and the chance goes. Plenty more time for Bale to make his mark yet, though" :jesuswept: :jesuswept: :jesuswept: :jesuswept:

Anteater is playing well. I have missed him. Makes the team play at a much higher tempo.
