OTF

Since when? I'd hate to see your stupid hat. Two more and we go negative on goal difference. Cannae be good for team spirit either. Team spirits maybe.

Will be intersting to see what Pardew does at half time. Realistically one of our strikers should have gone off when they went two nil up. Though they've both looked handy and capable of scoring it won't matyter if we're leaking goals at the back like we are because our midfield is being comprehensively outplayed. At 4-0 down it's past that point.

Nice one Stevie Mk 2 This is were we change it up a gear. I can't decide whether we're currently in neutral or accidentally in reverse.

Tits oot?

Must be contagious, looks like Krul's caught it.

Breakfast here. Williamson, oh man.

Look how high up the pitch Perch is getting. 4-0. North London dejavu? No Tiote, no Barton, maybe not.

Parker just got Parkered by Guthrie. Small victories.

As much as they're slicing through us like a hot knife through the air near some butter, their defense looks succeptable.

What to do now? Beg for mercy?

Oh man. Sound the alarms.

They're taking the piss now.

They're like lions waiting to prey every time we cheaply turn over possession.

4 defenders not closing him down you mean. FFS. Should have been Williamson's man, but Simpson pretending to be marking him. Amateur stuff. Abebayor killing us, picking on Santon.

Not the greatest start there. Where was Obertan?

CT that run from Fergie looks better in normal speed.

Hmmm.... http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCYQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D23SxcIuNZC0&ei=0Ns0T5fYDuaaiQei_-yHAg&usg=AFQjCNGzxTaoxF0MIGhlNGmpe-pgsoX6zA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HBxRR5UPic

Good to see Vuckic go on loan to a side pressing for promotion. Hoep he does well, not likely any game time with us currently.

You all have had a great season thus far. Where in the table do you see Newcastle finishing? Do you have what it takes to finish about Arsenal, Liverpool, or even Chelsea? 1. 6th would be an impressive achievement. I seee us finishing anywhere from 5th to 10th. 2. I think Spurs will finish in 3rd or 4th. 3. Pardew has done well in what were quite difficult circumstances. 4. A decent manager who is doing a good job with Spurs. Massive hypocrit, and all round dodgy wheeler dealer. 5. Would have to be a significantly reduced wage. Liverpool bought a square peg for their round hole, form is not the real issue. 6. I am surprised at how well we've recruited and subsequently jhow well we're doing. They were some influential players, but were not without their negatives. Enrique was a bigger loss. 7. Very highly. Still has plenty of room to improve, but has had some wonderful performances and will hopefully spend his whole career at Newcastle between the sticks. 8. Demba Ba - pure goal scorer who always finds a way to get the ball in the back of the net. 9. No idea who our targets are. We need to strengthen our defense forst and foremost. 10. Predicting a 2-1 win for Tottenham. Defoe double, Demba Ba for us.

It makes the teensiest bit of sense as Bale is at his best when he's going past defenders - Simpson's backing off 'ability' would make it tougher to do so...

The fact that we now appear to have two quality strikers makes it tougher to find somewhere for him to play. Whatever is decided though the kid needs some consistent game time in that position if we're going to get the best out of him - on the right seems to make sense from the perspective of where we're most lacking, but if he's more suited to playing on the left then if Jonas is happy to switch sides that could work. A large part of the reason why there is so much confusion is because he's played so little in such a variety of positions.

Looking forward to this as a test as to where we're at. Just a shame that we don't have Tiote and Cabaye.

Don't have anyone in mind when you say that do you?

I concur. Victory courtesy of a Scorched Perch shot from 35 yards.
