Trust you to come along and ruin the mood.

They were after him in the summer too, nothing new there.

I'd say he'll be off in the summer tbh, but he won't be cheap.

They way things are going for us it is the only thing I can cling on to. Happy Christmas :pac:

Ah no, in fairness at least you try (and often succeed) in holding on to your best players. If we'd done the same with Bent, Gyan, Henderson, Mignolet, Sessegnon, Malbranque etc etc we wouldn't be in the state that we are in.

Cabaye is (alongside Suarez) the most valuable player in the league IMO, in terms of how Newcastle perform when he is in or out of the side. He makes such a difference. See last season for example when you were struggling but he came back from injury and straight away things turned around.

Top player.

You're definitely right, he's a huge player for us.

And in all seriousness I hope you stay up. Newcastle need Sunderland as much as you need us. :pac:

Doesn't look good though.

kevthegaff

reports gomes wants to leave lyon, could get him in january and move on cisse

M5

HBA in for Tiote!

Or for Ameobi in our home formation with Anita in for Tiote

Krul, Debuchy, Coloccini (c), Williamson, Santon, Sissoko, Cabaye, Anita, Ben Arfa, Remy, Gouffran

M5

Missing Tiote here...

M5

no one from midfield tracking back. Every breaking ball at the edge of the box uncontested.... Bound to score from one eventually

Chazz Michael Michaels

I don't like our team with Ben arfa...

Moneymaker

And this is why he hasn't been getting in the side...

M5

Tiote more of a miss here imho... midfield not at the races. Can't blame hba for a.flat midfield and some lazy stuff from remy

Remy has made some good runs and not been picked out, Sissoko the primary culprit.

Whealen off and Hughes blows his top, lol.

Moneymaker

LOL

Moneymaker

Really?

Same end he saved Shearers too :mad:

Moneymaker

Thank god for that.

M5

Mental few mins. Can't keep up

Duff

Bit of a mental 5 minutes there. Whelan's second yellow was harsh. Anyway, we should have this now.

BArra

remy pen miss :eek:

at least he got the follow up goal few mins later, the lad hasnt scored in a good few games. seems too isolated up top on his own, he should be pulling in from wide, needs shola or somebody up there with him

M5

HBA created the penalty and the goal didnt he?

Moneymaker

Has to be said we got some amount of decisions our way there.

Makes up for the countless nonsense decisions against us :pac:

Harsh first red. Second was clear cut for me. Remy was about to pull

Fully agree with that. Much better cutting inside. A 433 with cisse in the middle would be ideal if cisse was in form

What happened to that man...

M5

Another contentious decision

Duff

Yes. Getting all the luck today.

BArra

need to save some of that luck for arsenal on sunday!:pac:

Duff

Done and dusted, I'd hope. REMY.

Moneymaker

Lovely. Couldn't happen to a nicer team. Mark Hughes and Stoke are a perfect match for each other.

BArra

should rightly stick another 2 or 3 away before the final whistle with their number disadvantage it lets newcastle press constantly

Duff

Jesus Ben Arfa is a man on a mission!

Chazz Michael Michaels

Get cisse on. A few goals might help his confidence.

M5

Hba has set up a penalty, 2 goals and hit the post twice!

All after the red cards though. Easy for him now he has space.

Had a shot early in the first half and played 2 great through balls that were the only thing we had done before the sending off. Obviously the reds have helped since. Actually the end of the palace game was.much the same

No doubting we have been bailed out by the ref here but HBA was not the.reason we were.poor.

BArra

cracker of a goal

Duff

Sublime.

Moneymaker

My lord what a goal

M5

Peach

M5

Gouffran lad... that's an awful miss. Guess the pedal is off the metal now

BArra

cisse coming on... best possible chance for him to get a goal and get that confidence up from zero

M5

Chazz Michael Michaels wrote: »

Here he comes

M5

Cisse entering a team who are not really pushing. Might not get a chance

M5

Clear penalty

BArra

well that wasnt luck, clear penalty

M5

Cisse.. oh god

Moneymaker

Please score.

Edit: Horray!

M5

Phew

Duff

You can see the relief on Cissé's face. Nice peno.

Cracking penalty

Duff

I'm sure it felt like a WC final peno for him!

M5

Eh penalty?
