Not only that but Whitbread nigh on pulled Ba's shirt over his head and the ball actually fell right too Ba, much more of a pen than the one Williamson give away against the mackems.

He's done a good job, my major worry with him is even in games we're controlling after we score we instantly sit back and let the opponent into it.

Our lot never bothered coming out for the 2nd half (apart from Krul), Shola looked every inch the world beater we know he is.

Aye I'd like to see Santon at right back and if he performs we should keep Jonas at LB and Santon at RB.

Decent half we let them into the game too much after the goal, we seem to have a tendency to not keep control of the game after we score. Should be at least 2-0 up that Ruddy's save from Ba's flick was some reaction, Cisse telegraphed what he was doing too much for his late chance still another good save from their keeper. Williamson is a right liability, Perch is putting in a decent shift and Ben Arfa grafting hard. Jonas has had more impact from left back than he normally does on the wing .

Because Ryan Taylor is renowned for touching little boys.

Good to hear he's stable.

Really hope he pulls through, he's a canny player but can't see him resuming his career after this. Thoughts go to him and his family, totally tragic situation I just hope he gets through it.

Put it this way would you want to go visit the place? Easier to just brand Sunderland and Boro as two shitholes and go by word of mouth, love the bit where it mentions people 'loathe the mackem accent' it is a truly horrific one. Still love how we're Geordie's and they're named by an insult we give them, drives the older ones mental but the young mugs have adopted it as some badge of pride 'mackem and proud' it's like going 'dickhead and proud'.

This tbh. It bothers me most when Newcastle fans refer to Man U as 'United', I've no problem with Man utd fans calling them United as I refer to Newcastle as United sometimes. The media are tossers when it comes to it but it does mainly irk me if they're playing another 'United' team and being honest it's one of the less annoying things sky pundits do (fawning over Man utd and Liverpool being worse), still a bit annoying especially when as already noted they're not even an actual United. Suppose it's like fans of other 'City' clubs when Man City get referred to as City.

PMSL the Elvis and SAFC shrine wall behind him Edit: Anyone notice the linked video "SAFC academy dance off" no wonder they never produce any players if they're too busy practicing their choreography.

Aye would be deserved tbh, him and Ferguson seem like mates in all so he'll put in a good word no doubt.

Haha it's definitely a fair representation of a good proportion of them, there's lads that are realistic though and acknowledge Newcastle are the far bigger club but it's a canny representation of their obsessive element.

Aye he's done a good job with them over the years, they've been a hard team to beat his entire tenure if nowt else.

Ben Arfa's even come out and explained what it was about, surprised they haven't seen that yet as they're normally discussing the latest NUFC news before we do.

What a mug Dalglish is, I thought they got this big Warrior deal because their owner was connected in someway with that company and it all seemed like one of them loopholes for the coming spending rules like the Man City stadium. Can't stand this bloke, really hope Everton win tonight I would have loved to be 6-8 points above Liverpool if we'd just held on/nicked a win yesterday even if it was to just feel more disdain thrown at us by these Liverpool loving mugs in the media, it must be killing them.

We sat too deep 2nd half, Arsenal exploited it and controlled the game I was surprised when Ameobi was brought on as Arsenal were playing a high defensive line and Cisse could have put pressure on that and if nowt else give us a bit more space between their defence and midfield. Cabaye's just going through a bad spell tbh and I agree he's been sitting too deep compared to what he did earlier on in the season, we're also not playing it on the ground as much as we did earlier on which means Cabaye gets bypassed.

New Ashley Cole.

Aye worried about this one.

Because they're classier? and according to them O'Neill demolished all of Pardew's post match comments, he wasn't rattled and spent half the week thinking of what to retaliate with as opposed to looking ahead to their next game.

£30??? Where at like Get down the Takdir in Whitley man for their Tenner set menu. Quality.

Aye I was saying this to a mate earlier, you can go to a game for that or go watch it in the pub, have a night out and a curry for the £30.

Sounds proper dull that.

Like the rope round the bulls knackers at the running of the bulls.

Gene's caused a right stir, hardly any of them have actually read it mind they've all just posted laughing faces followed by "he's clearly bricking it" which is pretty much the opposite of what he's said.
