We ended up closing out the game very effectively after getting back in front.

HBA eviscerated Villa today

We'll be there for a long time too given the fixtures.

If Ben Arfa stays fit you'll be very comfortable this season.

cadete

think the second killed villa in fairness after working so hard to equalise,
good performance from our lads HBA was fantastic kept the ball well today aswell and made some simple passes rather than try to beat his man at times. feel sorry for luna tbf lol,
early days yet but an important win today and very happy with the performance

Moneymaker

Biggest plus was the total absence of hoofball. So nice to see us playing on the deck. We were a little sloppy at times and Cisse didn't have a great game but there's plenty there to build on.

Now wrap up HBA in cotton wool. Please.

That_Guy

Very happy with that performance. Ok, we were under severe pressure from the start of the second half and the goal we conceded was awful but there was enough there to keep us in good stead going forward.

Debuchy had a stormer of a game I felt.

Remy/Ben Arfa are one centre forward on form to having one of the best attacking threats (potentially) outside the top 6.

Very happy altogether. The fact that we played it around instead of resorting to hoofing to nobody is refreshing.

Moneymaker

Debuchy has played very well since the nightmare at the Etihad it has to be said.

Moneymaker

Simon Bird has agreed to come on the True Faith broadcast according to their website. Looking forward to seeing what he has to say.

Too early to say but some promising signs, if we beat Hull we'll have 10 points out of 15 and i'd have taken that at the start of the season.

Amazing how much more assured the team looks without the walking disaster areas that are Taylor and Tiote.

Cabaye: 'If They Are Still Mad, I'm Sorry'
http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20130916/cabaye-if-they-are-still-mad-im-sorry_2281670_3460038

He made a proper fool of himself, will never look at him the same way again and hopefully we get the 20m for him after the world cup

Moneymaker

Well i'd frankly i'd rather have Cabaye then not have him so as long as he's committed i'll forgive him and move on.

Have to be pragmatic in this business.

Salmon

Agreed, at a normal club you might be delighted to get 20 million in to re-strenghten. But with the magpies i'd rather have an extra player in the squad than an extra 20 million in ashleys bank account!

M5

We have him for a season anyway, i suppose it gives our esteemed director of football 9 months to source a replacement!

Well worth a read.

Moneymaker

Really hoping for a win tomorrow, be it a scrappy 1-0 or 5-0 humping it really doesn't matter. 10 points from 15 would be quite a nice start indeed and most of us would have taken that when the fixtures were published.

Hopefully Cisse gets a goal, he needs one badly for his confidence.

That_Guy

Anyone else kinda glad that Saylor is ruled out with a hamstring injury? :pac:

On today, I think we've got more than enough to cause Hull some problems but they looked pretty good against Man City particularly on the break. Wayward shooting was their down fall but we'll need to be careful.

Supposedly (according to Sky anyway) we'll be unchanged which is the right way to go.

The only negative is that Cisse starts. He really needs a goal and badly otherwise I'd drop him for Gouffran who links up really well with Remy imo.

The reception for Cabaye should be interesting. He's here now so it's up to him to win fans back by putting in a shift on the pitch. Didn't think he was particularly brilliant last week personally but hopefully he'll be able to pull a few strings in midfield this afternoon.

Duff

Great start! Hopefully we can push on and get 3 or 4. Been a long time since that's happened at home.

Duff

Typical.

BArra

not much flair from ben arfa yet...

Moneymaker

Deservedly ahead but they look like they could get another goal.

Remy and Anita have been excellent. They're so scared of Ben Arfa it's given Remy more room. Sissoko has been sloppy in possession however and Debuchy is getting very little protection which Hull have been exploiting.

Duff

Don't know why I get so optimistic. I really should know at this stage.

M5

Pardew ht motivational failure yet again. How much more of this cretin do we have to endure

Vurnon San Benito

Hull City were very good today to be fair.

Saying that, lads underestimated them and I'm not quite sure what Pardew says at half-time, truly baffling.

Time for Cissé to be relegated to the bench too, was pretty horrendous today - bereft of confidence.

One of those results, bad but not quite READING of last year. At times we looked great in possession, lacked direction when we went behind.

Onwards and upwards

That_Guy

Well that was a load of me ball bag. A million miles away from our performance last week.

Hoof hoof hoof which didn't fúcking work.

Subs were very questionable too.

cadete

Tbf we have made a balls of things against lower league teams recently. Infuriating. When we had a decent team it was invariably Chelsea away !

Home or away?

newcastle are home

Moneymaker

Hopefully there's a good video of the stadium wide applause at the 11th minute on youtube somewhere.

TaosHum

Have to say lads, from what I have seen of Sammy Ameobi in the past few games he has played this season, there could be a future for him at Newcastle after all.
