Fucking Gouffran! Fuck off.

I fully agree with all of that.

So I've been floored by bad health this week, so I've watched some films. "The Trip To Italy" Good crack to a fantastic backdrop, what's not to like? "The Equalizer" As with most Denzel films, he literally is invincible. Predictable stuff. "NIghtcrawler" Well written, well shot, and a top lead performance from JG. I've never really been a big fan of his but he puts a good show on here. "Fury" The anti-war movie that turns into an action movie, great and horrifying all the same. "The Mule" Not a big plot, but plenty of laughs and surprisingly enjoyable for an Aussie movie as they are generally shit!

Will he set us up for another pounding? Please no Gouffran.

He might struggle with the helicopter maintenance bill this month then.

Nightclub Johnson 😂

Yesterday was a horrible performance, all too predictable aswell. He literally set us up for a pasting, taking Perez off summed his ineptitude up.

TEAM NEWS Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey is out with a hamstring problem so Francis Coquelin has been recalled from a loan spell at Charlton as cover. Defenders Laurent Koscielny and Nacho Monreal are injured, while Calum Chambers serves a one-match ban. Newcastle are without midfielder Moussa Sissoko and defender Steven Taylor because of suspension. Captain Fabricio Coloccini is expected to be fit, while midfielder Mehdi Abeid could return from a toe injury. MATCH PREVIEW Alan Pardew celebrated the fourth anniversary of his taking over at Newcastle this week. More than once over those four years it's seemed certain that the axe has been about to fall, but Pardew has survived this far and can justifiably reflect that it's been a job well done under sometimes trying circumstances. In some ways, this season has been a microcosm of those four years - Pardew's side were bottom of the table after four games and he found himself the subject of demonstrations calling for his head. Newcastle didn't climb out of the relegation zone until mid-October, but now find themselves level on points with this weekend's opponents in an extremely healthy seventh place, and with a League Cup quarter-final to look forward to as well. Of course, some might say that being level on points with Arsenal isn't what it used to be. Arsene Wenger is the only current Premier League manager to have stayed in his job longer than Pardew - by some 14 years - and is becoming the focus of open revolt with his side languishing well off the pace in the Premier League. It will be extremely interesting to see how Arsenal's home crowd reacts to any repeat of the nasty abuse the manager suffered at Stoke station or the unfurling of the banner seen at The Hawthorns. The Emirates Stadium is not often a hotbed of raw emotion, in either a positive or negative sense, but feelings are running abnormally high. The midweek stroll in Istanbul was perhaps most memorable for that extraordinary Aaron Ramsey goal, but the return of Mathieu Debuchy and Wojciech Szczesny to fitness, and that of Lukas Podolski to the scoresheet, will have pleased Wenger just as much. He needs all the options, and friends, he can get. MATCH FACTS Head-to-head Arsenal have won five league matches in a row against Newcastle. They have scored 12 goals in their previous three matches against Newcastle at the Emirates. Newcastle have won just two of their last 28 meetings with Arsenal in all competitions (W2, D8, L18). Arsenal Arsenal have lost three of their last five league matches. They have only suffered one defeat in their seven league games at the Emirates this season, but they have also drawn three of those games (W3, D3, L1). The Gunners have come from behind to draw or win in four of those seven home games. Arsenal haven't scored in the first half of any of their last six league matches. Alexis Sanchez has either scored or assisted nine of Arsenal's last 13 Premier League goals (seven goals, two assists). Newcastle Newcastle have won six of their last eight Premier League matches. Only Manchester City (16) and Manchester United (15) have won more points than Newcastle (13) from the last six games. Seven of Newcastle's league goals this season have been scored by substitutes - more than any other top-flight side. The Magpies are the only team yet to score in the opening 30 minutes of their league matches this season. Their earliest goal this season has come in the 37th minute. Since the start of last season, Newcastle have been shown more red cards than any other Premier League side (nine). ----------------------------------------------------

Absolute madness if they keep this approach for next week, there will be fucking hell on.

Like fucking off and dying?

Gateshead will play West Brom away.

We are number 28.

Rumours abound that he's found a buyer for the club? Same old bullshit or solid talk?

I couldn't even comprehend being as bitter as they are, it blinds their opinions

They always post the old photos of him aswell, clinging onto any sort of pride they have left in the whole transfer. A lot of them will never be able to accept he seen the light and moved onto big and better things.

Does all the basics very well and really coming into his own with confidence. Plenty of room for improvement aswell.

Had another good game today, put some cracking challenges in.

Fantastic, great game in the end.

TEAM NEWS Newcastle pair Moussa Sissoko and Jack Colback both return from suspension. Captain Fabricio Coloccini is unlikely to be risked as he continues to recover from a calf injury, while Mike Williamson, Daryl Janmaat and Sammy Ameobi all face fitness tests. Chelsea striker Diego Costa is available after a one-match ban, while defender Gary Cahill is set to play having recovered from concussion. However, influential midfielder Nemanja Matic is suspended. MATCH PREVIEW Just how do Newcastle go about trying to halt the Chelsea charge? Sunderland's 'contain and counter' approach worked a week ago, but there's something in the Newcastle DNA that says they can't play that way - even if most supporters would gladly take a draw now. Chelsea make a quick return to the North East on the brink of two club records. Avoiding defeat would mean new bests of 15 league games unbeaten from a season's start, and 24 competitive matches without losing any. You could travel to Mars in less time that has passed since Atletico Madrid's Champions League win at Stamford Bridge at the end of April! Little wonder that talk of Chelsea following Arsenal's 'Invincibles' into the Premier League history books grows by the game. Jose Mourinho won't have it, and declared weeks ago that going an entire season unbeaten is "impossible"- but even pragmatic, curmudgeonly Jose must have a flicker of 'maybe' buried somewhere deep inside. Mustn't he? Alan Pardew seemingly agreed with his opposite number this week - but read carefully. The 'impossible' word only came when talking about the season across all competitions, with a flawless league campaign only "difficult". Looking from the outside, a home win looks the most unlikely of the three possible outcomes, but there are some Chelsea fans viewing the game with a minor degree of trepidation. Maybe it's the fact that a Mourinho Chelsea team has never won a league game at St James's Park, drawing two and losing two. Or maybe it's down to the magnificent Nemanja Matic missing from their midfield through suspension? They might miss him more than they did (the returning!) Diego Costa against Spurs on Wednesday, especially with Moussa Sissoko back for Newcastle. The Frenchman's finest Magpies moment remains his two-goal home debut against Chelsea in February of last year, and Pardew says he does "owe the team a little bit" after his silly sending off at West Ham. No pressure Moussa, but it looks like you'd better have a good one. Newcastle Newcastle are unbeaten in five home matches (W3, D2), since their opening day defeat by Manchester City. They are currently enjoying a three-game winning run at St James' Park, keeping clean sheets in all of them. The Magpies have only conceded three goals in their last seven league matches. Alan Pardew's side have only scored three first-half goals this season - the fewest in the Premier League. They are yet to score before the 37th minute of any league game. Chelsea Chelsea can set a new club record of 24 matches unbeaten in all competitions by avoiding defeat on Saturday (W17, D6). They can become the fourth team in Premier League history to be unbeaten after the opening 15 games, emulating Arsenal (twice), Manchester City and Manchester United. Chelsea have only once previously been unbeaten over the first 14 games of a season, in the old Second Division in 1925-26. The Blues have kept only one clean sheet in seven away league games. Jose Mourinho's side have gained nine points from losing positions this season. Eden Hazard has scored four goals in three Premier League appearances against Newcastle United - more than against any other side. Difficult one lads

That's two games there for the taking and we've limped away with one point, teams around us all winning. Really need to improve our set-pieces, no-one can beat the first man!

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Papiss.

Stevie T to save the day.

It's no coincidence we went on a run of wins without that useless cunt in the team. That first half was abysmal, even worse than the weekend.

What happened to Elliot's hands? He is fucking shit.
