But the journo wasnt anything to do with the actual offence. Putting a story into the papers isnt illegal, however distasteful the motives are. In the big scheme of things its something a lot of us would do, but if you're putting yourself up for public office then you shouldnt fuckin break the law, and if you do and it comes out via a bitter ex wife trying to stitch you up then dont lie your head off about it for years. A pair of complete fuckin twats, they deserve each other.

ANSWER THE QUESTION!

No mate, he's dodging that one....old Yohan, whats he like eh?

As Tooj and Gemmil have said, "agenda" with no balance whatsoever. It strikes people as an astonishingly simplistic way of seeing the game, to the point I think you're fuckin "at it". How would you have set the team up to win us the game, 1500 miles and a four hour flight from home, -10, 5 first team players unavailable with only one striker in the squad and on a plastic pitch?

Take it that its difficult to argue against that then Tell us how we shouldve set up to win the game CT, with the players available?...am all ears Yohan!

He's the biggest wummer on here, he knows exactly what he's doing. And despite being daily being given his arse on a plate he doesnt mind looking astonishingly stupid for the general benefit of the board. It's like strolling across the village green of a morning on the way to the well and indulging the village idiot

So with Cisse ill, how would you have set us up then, Johan Cruyff? No credit given to how we were set up then?...how difficult would it have been next week if we'd have shipped 3 goals last night? We've given oursleves a half decent chance, which with the squad avalable for the trip is all we couldve expected, here in the real world anyway. You've given no allowance for where the game was, the temperature, the surface or the limited squad. Your assesment consists of "if we'd played a striker from the start we'd have scored". Which one?

Yanga's so good he made Perch look competent at the back Agreed, that's pretty much as good as we could've hoped for. Well done lads, well done Pardew.

Hes playing the furthest forward....I don't know tbh, but I do know its pretty far from how Barca or Spain play

Isnt it one up front i.e. Ben Arfa?....is it a false 9 because we haven't picked a centre forward?...

I told you it wasn't!

Am 3 miles from home sat in an A4 Quattro b6 and I bet we're not

Either you or Pardew are taking the the piss....CT as usual is definetly taking the piss :lol:Will they not play squidward in Cisses posistion?

Brock wtf is a "false 9"?

If we'd beaten Swansea we'd have seen a different team am sure....two proven match winners but a supporting cast of quite a few fuckin clowns...

Ben Arfa starts after 3 months out with hamstring trouble on a plastic pitch?.. that's asking for it iyam

Wouldnt touch Martinez...think people are taken in by him and his lovely accent....you've got to look at what he's acheived on a bog standard premier league budget...next to fuck all. You need to look for the over acheivers tbh. See also Brenda at Liverpool.

Not at 70k a fuckin week we won't

Wonder what the English teams' league table looks like? i.e. which English clubs have played the most games in Europe?....this is our 131st according to .com.. United will break new ground on Thursday when they play the 131st competitive European fixture in their history and their first in Russia. That will be the 25th different country they've visited in 66 away games as follows: 7 visits: France, Netherlands 6 visits: Spain 5 visits: Belgium, Italy, Portugal 3 visits: Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ukraine 2 visits: Norway, Scotland, Serbia, Switzerland 1 visit: Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, England, Estonia, Ireland, Israel, Latvia, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden.

So he's broke his back but can spend 10 hours in a plane to Buenos Aires?...righty oh Maybe the deal was wait till Mbiwa gets settled then fuck off?....

Hiddink throws us what Bob Paisley used to call " a bit of toffee" via sky sports: “We are going to have another very interesting and very tough contest against a team who reinforced themselves in the past weeks dramatically in a positive way.” “It’s a strong team.” “We have seen them in their contests in Europe, but also we have seen them in the games they have recently played in the Premier League.” “When you see the last game against Swansea, they were dominating, dominating, dominating and they got a very unlucky goal in the last part of the game against them. But you could see it’s a modern team, so it’s a big challenge for our players.” “In my opinion, Newcastle are a stronger team, first of all because they play in the English Premier League, which looks to be a stronger competition than the Bundesliga.” “Also, they have recently had a good improvement in their results and they have made a good upturn in the table, and also they have high-quality national team players in their line-up.” “But we will be looking to play our own game. We also have some high-quality players in our team.” “Regarding ourselves, we are very happy, of course, that we have reached our aim that we set at the beginning of the season, to survive the winter-time in Europe,” he added. “Then we got a good result against Hannover in the two games and then you are in the last 16 in Europe, which is a very good success.” “But having got there, we are so eager to see what we can do to make the next step, and it’s also good to see how our team is in comparison with teams who have the experience already of playing for many years in a tough league, plus sometimes Europe.”

Its strange, am I right in saying a lot of this sort of stuff comes from Football Manager?.... Tiote and Sissoko are as different as Gazza and Davey Mac were, but the distinction wasn't made back then; they were both "midfielders".You'd say Davey Mac "sits in" to describe his position. A lot of this modern lingo leaves me a bit bemused tbh. And why don't we have players like Rob Lee or Gary Speed any more, who could do everything needed of a midfield player? attack, defend, score goals, tackle, win headers etc etc..? Am I sounding like an old fart yet?....

itv4 am lead to believe......

I'll bow to your superior knowlegde...is there an acronym for his posistion?

Isnt that just Pardew playing him in his natural posistion? 17 votes to get rid of Cisse. Fuck me theres some short memories round here
