Newcastle arent that bad to be fair, found an absolute gem aswell. Christian Benitez for 3m. 9 goals in the league, after 8(4 from the bench) appearances. The trick is to manage to offload a couple of players. Also got annan for 1.9m, enyeama for 400k, mendy for free and rafael on loan (700k fee). Just beat Sunderland 3 - 0 away, Bramble got sent off after 25 minutes

I love watching him celebrating, all that hair flapping all over the place! has played like we bought him for 10m this year.

About our corners, its not just the fact that Barton can hit them, theres hours of work in the training ground that makes us this lethal. If you look at the 5th goal, you can clearly see the 4 biggest men discussing what to do. Then Colo runs back and forth, Both Shola and Carroll are completely unmarked cos the defenders havent a clue what happened, and pretty much every other player is in their designated position.

Am I breaking some rules by asking if there is a download of this somewhere?

Krul - 5: Should have punched the ball when they scored, didnt have much else to do. Simpson - 9: Thought he was excellent, some great crossing and Carroll could easily have gotten a goal from his weighted pass at the start. Colo - 8: Solid. Williamson - 8: Solid Enrique - 8: Elmohammawho? Tiote - 8: One of his worst games for us, especially at the start. Probably because he never got to redeem himself much because he didnt have all that much to do to win the midfield battle. that is saying something. Barton - 8: Seemed composed and is growing in confidence, passing isnt always inch perfect but he does his job well at the flank. Jonas - 8: Did what he does best today, gets us set-pieces and yellow cards to the opposition. Crossing wasnt any better than usual but he definitely gets a job well done. Nolan - 10: I have given him a lot of stick, im sure others have as well, you wont see me whine for at least a few games at him keeping his place in the team. He did what he does best today, and admittedly he has looked dangerous very often previously in the season even when hes not taken his opportunities. Impressive how he let Ameobi take the penalty aswell. Also loved how he got Mensah booked, I was laughing my face off. Professional performance and clear MOTM for me. Ameobi - 10: 2 Goals, did his job and more. Carroll - 10: Didnt get a goal, but worked extremely hard and showed once again he can run with the ball. Selfless headers gave his teammates goals again. Ranger - Didnt get a chance to do anything. We just took the tempo away in the final minutes. Hughton - 10. Cattermole - 1: Loser, I hate him with a passion. Only thing that lacked was a red card, or us sending on alan smith to get a 3 match ban for breaking his leg. If I was bruce Id have taken him off at half time. We won the physical and mental battle today. Bramble - 1: Hah!

Have to agree about Simpson, hasnt set a foot wrong so far. I love the professionalism about letting ameobi take it aswell. Many teams would have gone for Nolans hat trick and he probably would have scored, but the right thing to do is let whoever is the best penalty taker take it.

Amazing first half, the whole team has been great and sunderland has been nowhere. Only minus is tiote has seemed human this half, he got better at the end though. Ref gave us a little bit of slack on the 2nd goal, but its been long overdue. The penalty was clear as day, well done by Jonas. And for all of Nolans faults he is delivering today, and im starting to believe in him for the future aswell. Now for the 2nd half prepare for a sunderland meltdown! 6 - 0 is this seasons record so far, and it has got to go!

ranger and smith!

Anyone got a good one?

He listed them in a bit weird order, back 4 is obv Perch, williamson, kadar and raylor (not sure who plays where). I expect smith will play dm, guthrie in the middle and routledge on the right. Vuckic on the left with ranger and loven up front.

Routledge will probably play as he didnt against west ham.

Ive seen Barton on the tv more than wayne rooney this season, he even gave a massive interview with the norwegian tv before the manu game.

Great effort, tiote put in another cracking performance, motm without a doubt. Shola also did surprisingly well .

Is it just me or has danny simpson adopted a habib beye wig? sure looked like him from a distance

Simpson says hes fit for west ham at least. Lets hope he handles the premier league so we can all forget this man.

They really need to make this a tv-show. That twitter thing is getting funnier aswell, "hahahaha, they've sent Andy a Mini Cooper as a courtesy car! He's fuming! #nufc".

Not done too badly considering how little he gets to spend. 1.5m out the window isnt too bad. Tiote and Barfa have been good signings. Campbell seems decent too. We have also had some good performances that hasnt yielded points. The problem lies with Ashley not backing him with cash.

Incredibly deserved goal from him. Was probably our best player.

COLOOOOOOOO

And its 4

How many mins will be added on? should be something like 8-10 mins.

Fuck me I saw that in goal.

Shola hat-trick!

Rodallega and Zogbia are gonna rape us on the counter now.

Perch has the concentration of a 12 year-old playing 5 a side. Tiote needs to calm down aswell, silly kick that.
