Possibly but I think when he has played he hasn't been indifferent - I know his legs have gone but he can still sometimes do a job imo. He could be useful getting crosses into the box for Shola and Carroll IMO. Probably the least mobile player we have in the side though.

Any news on Barton? Him walking off the pitch gives me a bit of hope that it's not too serious.

Thought he really dragged us forward well today and, while he doesn't have an end product, there's nobody in the squad who can run at players and we can use to launch counter attacks. I assume he won't be replaced.

Got a lot of time for him, especially after the current mess but even following the departure of Keegan. At the time, he was still obviously out of his depth but thought he went about things with a similar professionalism which was impressive. And I hope he is creating a siege mentality. It's exactly what we need to get out of the division.

Was just wondering why no team had snapped him up yet and I'd definately take him. Hopefully he adds some needed depth and quality to the backline rather than replaces an outbound player.

We'd have a ton of pace if he left.

what was he doing? dunno, just going by some of the comments on Twitter Seemed to applaud and arselick more than he usually does but I wouldn't be surprised if he's using the good performance to milk some more love. EDIT: beaten like a ginger stepchild

Tell you what, it must be a barrel of laughs on our training ground. It just seems to oozes team spirit.

OHHHHHH YEEEEEAH

Aye but whos signing is it? Hughton's?? Calderwood's?? Ashley's?? Kinnear's?? Aye, that passed through my head actually. Are we to believe that Hughton is now in for the long haul so he's targetting players?

A right back, isn't he? Look at that, we've replaced a player. Sort of.

I'd fucking play him tbh.

The "N'Zogbia" looky likey ?

FAIL. Not an attempt at a joke. It was said in seriousness.

Someone told me I look like Charles N'Zogbia. I'm white.

A gem from that other thread from Stevie "You have such sensationally shite patter. One of my teachers was from your town, he was a dickhead as well."

He'd have to be since we have nobody else similar to him at all. He'd probably get a decent run as well since there's no way Jonas will get replaced when he fucks off.

A bit more trivial than other suggestions but for people that can't attend the roadshows, would you be able to post a live audio stream on the website? And make it available to download after the fact? I think that's a good way for those who, either had prior engagements or live outside of Newcastle to get a taste of the debate and issues that arise. If this already happens then, disregard.

Would rather not sell him. Paper thin options up front and yesterday he showed enough to give you the sense he could be useful in the coming season. Put himself about well, is good in the air but needs someone alongside him that can read his flicks and play off him.

Whilst our worst were the two clowns from Argentina. Collocini takes the highlights (as does any dodgy NUFC centreback) but my patience ran out with Guiterrez a while back, he started brightly but is now known by me as 'blind alley' Jonas. He runs into defenders and tries to do the impossible and is also starting to embarrass us with his diving which is becoming frequent, his passing is very, very poor and his reluctance to take a man on when in a good postion and have a shot has me pulling my hair out, he has a phobia about shooting, if I was a team mate he'd get the hair dryer treatment from me, never mind the manager, (if we had one). How he never came off was baffling, our goal came about when Shola ignored the overlapping Jonas which would have been a decent pass to be fair, but he would have wasted it, instead he passed to Nolan who played in to Duff who took it very well, more of that kind of play please, lads. Jonas is seriously disrupting any flowing play we might produce, he's a liability. Spot on that like - It was a toss up between him and Ryan Taylor as to who wasted the ball the most - I would give Lua Lua a go in the right wing and put duff onto the left and get a right back asap. I would even give Geremi a go, I know he can't run but his positioning is so much better than Taylors I don't think he would get exposed as often. Also, the lack of pace might not be as big a problem for him as it was in the PL.

Will gladly take a draw from this game.

I hate being half right.

They're going to win from a handball decision, aren't they?

Oh shut up, you clueless cunt. "What they've been doing for years"

Hope Shearer volleys his bollocks out of his ears tbh.
