I've never been a Tiote fan, but whats going on in this forum? Tiote never said We're a shit team, he's asked by an opposition fan what went on today, saying "we beat you" and he says Shit team. Just as easy (perhaps easier) to interpret that as "You're a shit team" .... Jus' saying.

Oh shit, David O'Leary's our next boss.

Oh well there we go, a left back on for a midfielder. FFS. Anyone know anything about the Cisse injury? He can't last a match, looked ok to me coming off.

Cisse's on fire, if only he can get over this injury (dodgy knee?). I suspect he won't last the full game. Boring game, but with yet another game under Carver, I still think he's instilling a more attacking playstyle and we're looking better than under Pardew - which isn't saying much. Pardews face at half time was worth watching the first half for.

Done. But I have to ask, what sort of course do you do a dissertation on a premiership football club? Are they doing punditry degrees nowadays?

lol, he's right though, like it or not.

I'd rather Carver than some substandard French manager or Dennis Wise or some other useless cunt like Sherwood. I'm not as harsh as you lot, I think with the little time he's had he's already moving the squad in the right direction. Some good interplay and positive play, perhaps they aren't up to it technically, or more likely its going to take time to get their attacking mindset back after years of Pardew. Even Gouffran's scored , albeit a deflected mess, but at least he was in the box and not at left back.

I'm with to dumb. Finally something to feel semi optimistic about. Miles better already than the negative setups we had with Pardew. We even had 2 up front at one point. Bit harsh on Obertan I reckon, yeah he fluffed his goal opportunity but he contributed to the goal didn't he (it was very early morning for me, so perhaps I screwed up) Cabella, Ameobi, Colo, Anita, Colback, Sissoko all had better games than I've seen for a while, but perhaps I'm being overly optimistic since we've rid of Pardew and not ended up with Joe Kinnear 3rd or bloody Dennis Wise. Also, I thought apart from Abeid, all substitutions were positive too, no left backs on for right wingers or anything stupid like that.

Here we go, 2 strikers!

It must have been bad under Pardew, I've enjoyed the first half. Cabella's looked much improved and has pace I didn't think he had, Anita has played a good game so far. Shame we don't have 2 strikers on though, worried about Cisse he seems to be the new woodgate.

It's all very quiet in here at half time? Afraid to be optimistic, or are people thinking we are still shite? I reckon we're looking much better , if only because we are actually playing with some positivity going forward.

Carver > Pardew.

Glad Gouffran's got that one, he seems more direct in the last 2 outings and I've always felt the feeling toward him and others who were Pardewed has been a bit harsh. He's a forward not a wingback like Pardew wanted. I know its only Hull, but the change in playstyle since Pardews left is noticeable and I'll give Carver credit for instilling a change so quickly. Time will tell of course

It's not imagination, definitely a more positive playstyle. Carver might just be better than Pardew , let's hope so.

Financially, I'm not even sure we're stronger, if you count Ashley as an outside entity , then we're in the red to the tune of hundreds of millions right?

Based in the carribean, so I'm not sure if its the same at home , but websites that link to acestream or that new one (sopcast?) streams are better quality for me. But if you're just watching flash streams then its night and day.

Which idiot?

Squeaky bum time here. Could do without having him back and the drama that will bring. Wonder if Ashley got all big balled and asked for a sizable sum up front before discussions, like he apparently does in sales.

I reckon Colo might actually have more tactical ability than Pardew, I'd take him over JFK or Dennis Wise type people any day. Not ideal by a long shot though is it?

Beardsley in the short term, Dennis Wise in the long... ho hum. I'm old enough to remember Beardsley as a player, so its a sad feeling if he gets the job as it's going to tarnish his legendary history by being Ashley's stooge.

Tyneside cinema rocks, saw some brilliant japanese horrors there and the atmosphere was great. Just watched "songs from the second floor", weird but pretty well done. oh and Les Revenants a 6 parter which was mint.

Hmmm, as good as ridding of pardew is, it's like picking a scab. An ownership change would be exciting, but I can't understand why anyone's jizzing themselves at the prospect of no manager for January, with new signings not yet settled and a very high likelihood of a cookie cutter replacement who's just as, if not even shitter. Call me a miserable git..

I'd just have him play players in their natural positions without fail and play 2 up front.

Come on, be honest, don't you miss Christmas Tree on these forums ? I know I do.

Heh, i always liked papavasilou for some reason. That brazillian bloke in the 80's Mirandinia(?) scored a belter that I remember then just vanished!
