  1. Best goals and assists to games ratio for how many years? 2/3? Anyway, I need help identifying one of his defining - game winning - moments. Late on, standard Pardew affair - that means fuck all had happened up until the 85th minute (or whatever) and we were finally attacking. Ben Arfa gets the ball in his wide right position, just short of the right corner of the area. He cuts inside and shoots, the ball bounces off Cisse and goes in. At least, that's what people thought, yet on closer inspection Hatem had picked Cisse out with an audacious pin-point delivery.
  2. "I said to the players that an FA Cup run gives confidence and it breeds a winning mentality, so we're in the hat and, like in any cup competition, if you're in it, you can avoid defeat."
  3. Savage complaining about Dover not having a shot on target. Didn't we do that not long ago in the Prem? Someone tweet him a link to the match.
  4. Carver matching Pardew's cup record. Mike will be more than impressed.
  5. Casual national stereotyping with a splash of homophobia about pink kits. Each to their own, I guess.
  6. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcnewcastle It says not online though so I expect it will cut off in a moment Found it in the end. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/30481336
  7. I can't for the life of me workout why anyone would subject themselves to what is effectively a more animated and idiotic version of a teletext page.
  8. What did he say? http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,96325.msg5365709.html#msg5365709 It was obvious all along: "the best team... I possibly can." Feel a little silly not raising the alarm straight away.
  9. Welp. This is one club policy I cannot abide. Despite the positive feelings a few stronger players making a rare start brings, our 11 is a proper mixed bag so it'll be down to luck as to how well they gel and the extent to which the system will suit them and vice versa. And half of the bench will be in non-league football before too long, alongside the poor chap starting in goals. How strong is the Leicester 11? This could get ugly.
  10. Refreshing words from Carver. Let's see if he stands by them.
  11. I'm surprised to hear that Alan didn't think about a career in management during his playing days considering the fact that he managed a Sunday league side during said playing days. I will not miss his press conferences. Every response, bookmarked by persistent forced "erring", is so obviously too thought through and perceived (in his head, at least) to be the "best" answer. And yet, it is so transparent and all too obviously false. I'm sure many a fool will give him praise for "constantly saying the right things."
  12. Alan knows a lot about going forward.

    Blame lies elsewhere. Cannot have this kid as your 3rd choice goalkeeper. He doesn't look capable of playing league football at any level. Will ply his trade below Blyth.
  14. 2 first half goals scored by Newcastle United? Clearly #Pardsgone
