Maybe tax relief on donations to charity.He's up to something

Unless he gains more financially in other ways.Why did he make it public.Why a french charity.What will he do if PSG are drawn against Man Utd in the CL.If he can gain more publicity by not playing,he won't.I forcast an `injury' if it happened ,which may mean he will possibly miss the game,and a long drawn out farce leading up to the game ,i e further publicity.

I wasn't expecting our 4-6-0 formation to hold out against Villa,but we did.It's not a formation i would like to see again against teams below us to be honest.

Is this publicity seeking gesture going to end up in any financial gain for him. Why didn't he keep it quiet.What has happened to his USA soccer schools.He's up to something i'm telling you !

Pardew's second half formation was 4-6-0

Not obsessed but when the opportunity to have a dig at them crops up,then count me in.Maybe you are a tad too young to realise the importance of a dig or two .It will come though.

I used to think Beresford was an average left back,with reference to defending, but he was a damn site better at defending than Santon,Taylor,Ferguson and Enrique. I want a full back who can defend.If he isn't much good at attacking then that's fine by me.I can wait a season or two for the new Maldini to sign.

Does Graham have a clause in his contract that will allow him to move to Gateshead in the summer ? Only the makems would sign a player who is hated by their fans.

It seems such an obvious thing to do.If our left back needs a minder,should we not have a left back who can defend.

As a leftside player i would get rid,but i would give him a chance wide right.

His cross found a Villa defender.My only defence for him is that he plays down the left and that is his weaker ( useless ) side when he has to deliver a ball into the middle.I cannot understand why Pardew has never picked him to play wide right.

His strengths were running 50 yards and winning free kicks,and running 50 yards to help out the left back.He doesn't/cannot do this now.I could do what he does now,which is NOWT.Obertans also does nowt,so i could do his job.Hopefully we now have players to fill their positions.Pardew needs to get rid of the dross in the summer,if they don't go now.Ferguson,the Ameobi brothers,Simpson,Williamson,Santon ( i want a defender to be able to defend ) all need to go the journey along with Spiderman and Obertan.

`on his day'.` On his day' he runs 50 yards and wins a free kick.How much did we pay for him and how much are we paying him to do that `on his day'.

Soon after Shola came on we humped two balls down the middle.Neither Cisse nor Shola got anywhere near heading it yet the Villa centre half got there to head it.Minutes later a long ball was played to Shola who did his usual trick of judging his jump to perfecttion,slightly lowering his head,resulting in him missing the ball by inches.Shola doesn't want to head the ball so he resorts to this tactic regularly.He's not fooling me.

games 160 goals 9 assists probably less than goals scored. Why has he always been a regular ?

13,000 empty seats for a Premier League game must be a huge kick in the teeth for the makem owner Ellis Short.Whilst he digs into his pocket ,the fickleness of the makem fans is shown by the pink seats.TV may not be able to show the pink seats as regular as in previous seasons but the owner can clearly see.

Let him pay the club what he would have earned to fulfil his contract if he's that desperate to go.He'd want his contract paying up if we were trying to force him out.

He probably bought NUFC as a plaything then realised the mess we were in.I agree,i think he will get rid as soon as he can get his money out.I wonder if Fat Freddy will give him a call when the time/money is right.Is he not owed something like £100m

If there does come a time when Ashley had got his money back,will he then look to sell,or will he stay put and run a tight ship.

You could say the new signings could and should give our fringe players a kick up the backside but i wouldn't bet on it.A rocket wouldn't help them, going back to the Brighton performance

The ruski at Chelsea is happy to pump loads in as long as they win things.Ashley want's his money out eventially so he has a different agenda.Surviving in the prem will help Ashley's plan.

Doesn't the parachute payment not cover 3 years if we are relegated.

no

Bad news 84 games 0 goals 33 yellow cards 5 red cards. Good news His 4 year Pub Watch ban in Stockton has expired.

Have the PFA complained yet about our french players taking the places of british players.What they need to realise is that for every french player coming here,there is a place in french football for a british player.
