Howay

If he's given a run in the team as long as Obertan did he'll be playing well, he's back off a nightmare injury and has only really played a bit part role until recently.

He's as good if not better than Puyol. He never dives in, and just picks forwards pockets all the time with ease. His usage is usually faultless too. Was times in the first half where he was basically holding back the tides himself with some of his blocks and headers. That new deal can't come quick enough The play where he completely misread the ball and the Blackburn player had it and began to run with it had me worried but Colo just calmly forced him wide before dispossessing him cleanly and passing it onto Santon, such a calming presence at the back.

I really hope we don't lose 6 of the last 9 mind.

I hope we absolutely decimate this hopeless gaggle of tramps, agree with The Fish that what they did when we went down is something I wont forget. They celebrated with the same intensity the mackems did that day, I hope it's an absolute trampling and they lose 2 of their 1st team to injury or suspension in the process.

I think this is key, if it was some FA trial I'd agree 100% with the fish that he'd get off with it and the FA chief would ruffle his hair on the way out the door. This is a criminal trial and everything he's done and has been doing is very very dodgy, his excuses like 'but I was focusing on Beckham' aren't going to fly and if that's honestly the type of shit he's going to go with he's fucked. Harry is a crook and if everything that's leveled at him is true he fully deserves the punishment he gets.

Get the Demba's in the team for the weekend and let's never see a Best - Ameobi partnership ever again please.

Agreed, Ben Arfa has been poor the last few games but Obertan was abysmal through the 1st half of the season and Pardew stuck with him whereas he subs Ben Arfa off.

Best's paggered.

How does Williamson get carded for giving Modeste a hug but N'zonzi flyes through the back of Guthrie and doesn't get one, very inconsistent reffing here by Dowd the big kited twat. We should hoy another midfielder on here, it's like playing with 9 men with these 2 utter turds up front.

We're lucky Modeste is shit

Jimmy Perch looks like a young Roy Keane out there.

Putting a positive spin on things this match shows that we've made big strides away from the bottom end of the table, we've had to lose Taylor, Tiote, Cabaye, Ba and Cisse before Blackburn away becomes a competitive match.

Loving Tim's Gordon Gecko slicked back hair look, beats the early Oasis hairdo.

He took Ben arfa off for Perch? eh? we've got a lad on a yellow and two donkeys up front anyone of them 3 would have been better to take off surely.

Aye this has been a big reason we're failing to retain possession no one is showing for the ball, the Jonas play you mentioned is a massive example of it he had the ball for a good 10 seconds and not a single player showed for him or made a move for him.

Wow what a shit first half, we've been ridiculously lucky (as well as having that bowl hair cut god between the posts) against Blackburns 12 men (seriously Dowd sort it out man). Blackburn have struggled to stay on their feet no idea how this lot are professional athletes if they're this prone to falling over. I understand we're missing a good chunk of our teams spine but playing the suicidal high line yet again worries me and Hoilett + Modeste will get opportunities from it, I've also noticed how comically slow we are to the 2nd ball EVERY single time. When the ball comes out of the box from a cleared corner it always falls to a Blackburn player in about 15 yards of space and our lot jog out rather than closing him down quickly, if we continue playing this badly we'll lose we've really rode our luck here. Mind you is it just me or is the standard of officiating worse this year? Dowd has been total shite. The lack of chances we've had is majorly down to the fact that Best and Ameobi are completely incapable of staying onside, as we were setting up the shot that was deflected in I was watching Ameobi hoping for a through ball but the guy was just standing about 1 yard offside for that entire phase of play. Perch will be brought on for Taylor 2nd half in all by the looks of it.

Aye the browser's dogshit on mine.

Not feeling very confident about this one after that abysmal performance at the weekend, Ben Arfa has to have a big game imo now we're missing Cabaye.

I read an article somewhere about this, it's some situation where they can't afford to continue construction (due to their debts and paying for the rental/upkeep of their current ground) but the Government would hit them with fines etc if they stop building the ground so they employ a few builders to be on site daily and pretend they're working . Bloody hell it's the perfect job for any Spaniard surely? Aye that's what I thought when I read it in all, wouldn't have been short on applicants for it.

Read somewhere yesterday that El Abd had contacted the club saying he'd support Cabaye in his appeal, seems a bit odd that the FA will give someone a 3 match ban when the supposed victim of the incident is helping the appeal.

He's too hungover from his white lightening binge after we smash them to go anywhere near the community library computer, or maybe he loses his library card in his angry drunken stupor while chasing a magpie round his back garden.

I'd seriously thought we'd got rid of him by now. What a waste of time he was he couldn't have played more than 100 minutes for us.

He's a championship player tbh (as a striker), hopefully it's the last we've seen of him at Newcastle though total waste of £60k a week.

No clue mate, like I said I heard it from a Mackem so it may as well be off tribal football tbh.
