Pre-season my main hopes signing wise were on De Jong. Cabella not so much. I haven't been impressed either and I'm aware of Ben Arfa's weaknesses as well as his skills.

'New manager effect' he's already put his excuse in pre-game on the radio.

Which is definitely 'no better'.

It's early to say but he's no better than Ben Arfa at present.

Two goals in 45 mins? Are we capable? Can we come back and win? Three hopes, Bob Hope, Westerhope and no hope I reckon.

Pardew said its going to be horses for courses with Dummet and Hadaira. When he thinks we'll be on top Hadaira will play is how I took his patter on the radio.

Set piece!

Pards looking very relieved there.

Get in Janmaat sonna!

Would've liked De Jong to turn and shoot there instead. Good move though which has been rare.

Can we get that Gillingham kid in the Palace side, please? For the fret? Another good set piece there.

He's a set piece threat like my piece is a threat to the sky sports lasses.

I heard his patter on bbc Newcastle, thinks we've dominated most games and also sounded very confident about today. Thought he had loads of options now for different games. Just got the game on and we're already 0-1 down at home to Palace.

You say that, CT says.......

It's a tricky one. Although you've unfairly omitted the clubs 30% off Sports Direct goodies voucher all players get.

Even if you think you're sound, Stevie, TAKE IT EASY. i can half understand you having a couple of pints when you've come through a lot and thinking, 'ah fuck it, I could manage it no bother I feel great' but it can be deceptive, years ago I had a fairly minor op, was in a hospital bed not too long after coming to and wanted to have a wonder around as I was bored and felt ok, when I got half way down the corridor and started to feel dizzy and fell over I realised mebbe the Doctors and nurses knew best after all. Good luck. On a separate note I was with the Wife visiting her old Aunt in the RVI when I walked past a male nurse talking about riding his new motorbike to a bored looking female nurse and was wondering if J69 had got a transfer from Durham?

It's more 80% the players ability and 20% moving to a bigger club.

All the best!

This has given me a laugh, mind, especially reading that RTG link. Cheers, Woy! "No Bother, HMHM, it was a weally easy decision to make now he's moved up a level to a big club with euwopean expewience."

Was talking to my Dad this morning and he couldn't get over the fact a nine year old girl was allowed to fire an uzi or any weapon with any ammunition let alone live rounds, he still remembers the pain you'd get in your shoulder from the recall of firing a gun and he was an artillery man.
