    The call is free. You pay whatever your contract charges you for data. If like me you have unlimited data included in your package... Then it's completely free....or if you only use it via WiFi.

    Everyone has disappointed to some extent. I think I'd give it to Cisse though. He's never stopped running, looking for space and creating chances whether scoring goals or setting them up. He's scored 13 and it should be 20 if match officials weren't shit. If he get's someone quality to play a bit closer to him he'll be flying again.

    They'll be the same as Chelsea, Man City, Madrid and Barca now. One trophyless season and they'll replace the manager. There isn't a manager on the planet that would have the good will Fergie built for himself at that club. Moyes might win a trophy or two...but it won't last.

    We should hoy in a cheeky £20m bid like

    What is Moyes' relationship with Rooney like these days?

    3 entirely factual sentences. Not even opinion.

    The inquest should note that in the first 10 games we only lost twice...to Man U and Chelsea. That's the sort of run last season was built on. Coloccini, an ever present in 11/12, went and got himself sent off late on at Liverpool though, and we did not have anyone approaching his quality to fill the gap. We lost the next 4 on the bounce. Even when Colccini returned we had 11 other senior players out injured. Ferguson, Tavernier, Bigirimana, Sammy Ameobi and the like were being used to fill holes and just aren't good enough. In that run up to January we lost 10 out of 13 and the season was killed by that period. We've since only lost 6 out of 13.

    It was only 2 nowt at half time when Perch came off. Tiote got dragged off 20 minutes into the second half too. We conceded 4 with Ben Arfa, Goffran, Sissoko, Cabaye and Cisse on. The problem wasn't personell though, it was the fact that none of them had any clue what the bloke alongside/in front/behind them was up to. That's something to sort out in the summer*. For now we need as settled a starting 11 as we can manage, that can play with each other in a system they're familiar with. *Pardew really needs to decide on his vision of how we will play, he needs to let his chairman know what he'll need to fulfil it, and he needs to drum it in to each player what their role is in that system. Otherwise it'll be curtains before christmas.

    It's not like. it was only the Liverpool game where Pardew started Perch and Tiote. Apart from that our front 6 hasn't been particularly cautious. If you've conceded 10 goals in 3 games.....16 in 6....you best look to settle the team, not fanny on with ANOTHER shape.

    I was going to start a poll yesterday (but i thought it was one for the summer) that splits it into 2 questions... 1. If you were the billionaire owner, would you replace Pardew? 2. Given that Ashley is the owner, do you have confidence in him replacing Pardew with a better manager if he sacks pardew? I think the vast majority would answer yes & no to those, in that order.

    Based on time on the field Obertan has a better record for providing assists....and Shola comes third... Obertan - 134 minutes per assist Marveaux - 163 Ameobi - 344 Ferguson - 346 Let's start those 4.

    I noted that too, on the back of my view posted before the West Ham game that these last 3 games should see us bench anyone bought in January, where possible. Go with what we know, players comfortable alongside each other.

    Getting better and better..... http://venturebeat.c...cXtS2XAXHBiC.99 I've convinced most people it's preferable to Whatsapp, just need to get folk using Skype transferred now.

    Fuck off. 3 wins at the start of next season and you'd be banging the title challenge drum.

    Don't think it's fair to discount his poor performance in those games though...Perch played in both too, and while he's not much better than Tiote, it didn't seem to skew him as badly. Tiote was dragged off against Liverpool while they still had a few goals in them as well, so it wouldn't have skewed him that much.
  17. Happy Face
    Aye, you probably can't read too much into it, but I think the defensive cover Gutierez brings is plain to see and backed up by the numbers...on the other hand, Tiote's dreadful season is made to look even worse than anyone thought. I'd be interested to see the offensive numbers too. See who is most effective from back to front when we're on the offensive. Not sure if any site does stats for goals scored while a player is on the pitch though.

    The full list in descending order... Gutierrez 58.9 Cabaye 57.9 Williamson 55.9 Taylor S 53.9 Ben Arfa 53.6 Krul 53.2 Coloccini 52.6 Harper 51.4 Santon 50.8 Simpson 50.6 Gouffran 50.2 Anita 50.0 Ferguson 49.4 ------------------Average Cisse 47.8 Debuchy 47.0 Marveaux 46.7 Yanga-Mbiwa 45.7 Gosling 44.0 Perch 43.5 Ameobi 43.1 Sissoko 42.7 Bigirimana 41.3 Tiote 41.3 Elliot 39.7 Obertan 28.9 Haidara 24.8 Tavernier 12.7

    The Fantasy football website has a list of how many goals a player has conceded (how many goals the team has conceded while that player was on the pitch). It also has the exact number of minutes played. In 3240 minutes of football Newcastle have conceded 66 goals. So, one every 49 minutes would be average. Based on that you can look at players who average more time on the pitch without conceding and those with shorter times between conceding goals. I've limited it to those players with more than 900 minutes on the field (ten games) Based on this, our 5 best players at shoring up our defensive capabilities have been... Gutierez - 58.9 minutes per goal conceded Cabaye - 57.9 Williamson - 55.9 S Taylor - 53.9 Ben Arfa - 53.6 On the other hand our worst players on this front have been Tiote - 41.3 Sissoko - 42.7 Perch - 43.5 Marveaux - 46.7 Debuchy - 47 Both shocked and sadly unsurprised that Tiote has been the least effective player (statistically) at doing what his job is supposed to be.

    Should have popped his P45 in his pocket as he left. Unstable bell end.
  21. Happy Face
    Shane, Shaney, Fergie, Ferguson or Marveaux.
  22. Happy Face
    Scoth is even more offensive than Scotch btw. That's why I wrote that
  23. Happy Face
    Why is Moyes favourite? Because he's a Scoth alcky as well?
  24. Happy Face
    Gill has been in touch. It was a non-negotiable bone of contention.

    Of all England's footballing exports in the modern era, none were as successful as McManaman. In four seasons at Real Madrid he won two Liga titles and two UEFA Champions League winners' medals, http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2013/final/ambassador/index.html
