Im in agreement with .com here like, theyve pretty much hit the nail on the head for me. There are others in the queue which should be sold first. Milner is better than Taylor in his position yet because Taylor is a "Geordie", he gets a new contract and people are happy with him. Let it be put this way. You're working your bollocks off at work, and you're a steady worker. Your mate who has been spouting his mouth off about getting a wage increase is on the same money as you. He does no more work than you do. All of a sudden, your boss gives him a tasty pay rise and all of a sudden, he's driving around in a Brand new M3 while you're still running a company Vectra. You continue working hard thinking that eventually your hard work will be noticed however it never materialises. After a while you get a bit disinterested so you go looking for a new job. You find one and then say you're thinking of leaving having received a better offer. At this time of the season when we're on the bare bones of our arses, the last thing we want is to start punting players off to other clubs. We'll never bring anyone in to replace them in time.

Stevie, spot on about Milner, my sentiments about the lad echo yours. If he was plying his trade elsewhere than Newcastle, im sure if he was mentioned as a target, there would be a lot of people wanting us to sign him. He does have the tools to make a very good PL player. Im very impressed with all the signings of this summer so far, and hope that our eye for a good player is reflected in our next few signings before the window closes. Maybe Keegan can get an extra 10% out of players with the way that he goes about things. Bassong obviously wasnt great in France as he was a bit part player and went for little money. He does seem to be pretty good at picking the ball of attackers though and doesnt seem to panic.

Yeah, best pass of the match. I thought he was just hoofing it clear and had no idea that he'd spotted Owen's run on the far side. Genius. His defending wasnt too shabby either.

I think the time of Owen wanting away from the club has passed now, he seems keen and looks to be enjoying it.

Some really good post match comments there. Had me chuckling a few times. The Keeganator just gives me a warm feeling inside, much like SBR did when he was talking football. Long may it continue

Milner shades it from Nzogbia for me, only because they were displaying some lovely touches. Guthrie was the engine in midfield though, and was involved in a lot of stuff going forward. He could be one hell of a player if he continues that sort of form.

I would say its close for MOM between Milner, Guthrie, NZogbia or Jonas.

one off the crossbar is close enough

Jonas has been very good tonight

Superb pass for the goal. I thought he was just having a punt

Get the fuck in! Have that

We've lost this. Seem to remember a similar type game a few years ago in the CC. West Brom was it?

Such a one sided game, how the fuck do we end up going into Extra time? Only got themselves to blame. Should have kept the ball instead of trying to play it.

Fucking unbelievable, too much time on the clock and cant defend a long throw

Ranger doesnt get my vote purely because of his Myspace page.

Think it was Bassongs fault? Could do with Shola on bench so he could be showcased to the Championship

fuck 2-1

Guti has to get a goal tonight. I bet the mask will be tucked away during the interval

Good distance effort by Guthrie.

Superb cross by Milner to get the goal there. All made by him

get in 2-0 Geremi

Looking dynamic bar Geremi in Midfield/attack. Definitely need someone better on that right side. Milner looks ok up front. Getting plenty opportunities

get in! Class work to get into the box by Milner. 1-0 Zog

A couple of square pegs in round holes here. Will be interesting to see if it works.

yeah, had to look twice, saw Jeff and realised it was Sky. Got a few good strreams on there like. Ive got the one with sound on and its running ok.
