Comment #44Lads, Palace away is a great draw – at least for us exiled Geordies down South! Thoroughly enjoyed going to Gillingham with my lad and having the chance to see the lads live. Sat in the away end (temporary festival type stand, no roof, rained until kick off, reminded me of when we ran out of moeny and the Leazes had no roof) but in the Gillingham section. Good atmosphere, proper supporters of a team who have no delusions but loved every minute of probably the biggest game of their season.
I hate to admit it but Obertan worked hard and probably had the most impact. Janmaat and De Jong are class and young Arrons, in particular, and Perez have some real potential. Still need a commanding centre back and a real centre forward.
See you at all at Palace!

Comment #45Welsh
Yes mate fine he just got under my skin a bit , cretin.
He’s posted half a dozen times using foul launguage to abuse a few different posters. He had a go at me yesterday then appologised.
Earlier today Markaccus pointed out he kept appearing a article back abusing posters and I said “ye a bit strange”
So he came back on had a go at Markaccus and said that I’d insulted him, which really knarked me as he’s had a go at quite a few unjustly.
I was just cheesed off that he found me insulting after his constant abuse, he needs help 😉

I think the club are looking to move mbiwa on and the others like obertan but whether we can find clubs for them to goto remains to be seen

Interesting article about Ferreyra. Wondering if lack of match fitness is reason for lack of appearances or something else. Cant wait to see what he’s like. Quietly optimistic that he’s our star striker in the making

Comment #56jeff from Benwell – what a knobber.
You predicted several weeks ago that we would be getting four signings before the end of July.
Included in the list was Perez I think – his name was circulating on all the news outlets – your other three names did not materialise so I think that you fall within your own description of a gobshite knownowt and arsehole. Not just one – all three – dope.

Comment #58Beer
I’d agree there, think I saw M’biwa to marseille earlier.
Regards Oba, how many chances will he get? He supposedly did alright yesterday? But watching the highlights when he crossed the ball it was going nowhere near our two players in the box, pure luck we gota goal out of it. We must have a better option than him, we all have different opinions on who but for me he’s had more than enough.
There’s a few I’d be happy to see leave and a few need a loan for a season.
On that note I’ll be watching spurs vs Forrest to see the keeper and CB play as it will be good to see how they get on against prem opposition.

Comment #61Not on NUFC as we have no intention of signing anyone else this window, but IMO any existing ManU player, who is English, should be begging to be a make weight in any incoming transfer. Take a wage cut in exchange for a low transfer fee, gain invaluable experience playing in a foreign league and score a few goals. Then, if they are as good as they think they will be brought back and be playing for England.

Welbeck I don’t fancy and can’t see anyone coming in.
Reference Jeff, just one of things pal kinda returning his compliment.
As much as turning the other cheek sometimes it gets kinda tiresome hearing the same people hoy insults then disappear then return to do it again. As tuff says why come on just to abuse the blog and it’s posters? It would be much easier to not read it or not to post, I don’t call people names but I will return the favour when pressed. Also with Gazzaforever who is down right nasty and abbysive to other posters for anything he doesn’t agree with. I’ve said I’m just going to pass over their comments from now on as there usually pointless and abbysive 🙂

I’m like yourself, I like to hear others opinions as it’s the only way to be open minded and see things from a different view. I may not agree but happy to debate them. The people who abuse or just ignore your points puzzle me as I don’t see why you’d come on here claiming their right and everyone else is wrong. If someone is going to do that they’d be better off writing their own blog.
Big match down your neck of the woods today, local derby.

Comment #70I think a forward line of Cabella, Cisse, and Rivierre, with De Jong in the hole looks potentially excellent. With Gouffran, Aaron’s, Perez, Armstrong and Chucky in reserve I have struggled to believe we’ve seriously been after a marquee type centre forward with those options already on the books.
In addition, I don’t think we need a single player, unless we managed to shift Obertan, Benny, Guti, Marv on a permanent, Vuckic and Ferguson to bring in better.
Makes me think they either don’t fully rate their buys, or it’s basically a nonsense that they are still after Remy or Lacazette. Only chance is if they come cheap, which doesn’t appear to be on the cards at all.

Comment #72I’v been reading through the comments from todays articles, It’s amazing some peoples negativity when we are only 3 games into the new season. 2 Premier league games.
It would seem the Pardew bashers have just been waiting for the season to kick off coupled with a slow start before their obsession kicks in full flow again and the witch hunt and blame begins. It’s hilarious to look at and read.
It dosn’t take alot to work out our key player in Siem De Jong needs time as he is getting over an injury at present and working upto full fitness. He is pivotal in this system working well that we have went with. Along with every other newcomer who is going to need time also to adapt. We have not played badly through my eyes, we are just lacking the goals which will come.
3 games is nothing, especially with this many new bodies in the squad, who on earth do people think these players are?? It’s not as if we have played awful and lost 3 off the bounce here.
Lets see where we are at after 10-20 games with hopefully a new signing also and no outgoings.
It has to be noted also, we have only spent around 3 million on transfers. And the squad isn’t a whole lot better than this time last year. Minimal really which is shocking considering the funds generated.
We all know Pardew isn’t the best, but he is probably the best from Mike Ashleys shortlist of managers I’d say.
If he wasn’t then why wouldn’t Mike employ him? It’s nothing to do with Pardews contract. Mike is happy because Pardew can hit his target of a mid-table finish.
Do you really think Mike Ashley cares about fluid attacking football? Or a trophy? Your wasting your time with having an obsession with Pardew being sacked because it would take relegation for Ashley to even seriously consider it. This is never going to happen.
Ashley sets the targets, Pardew tries to fulfill them. It never ceases to amaze me how Pardew gets more stick than Ashley from some on here. Never ceases to amaze.
3 games in? Calm the fcuk down man! Haha. New players bedding in, Key player in De Jong becoming used to the league and recovering from a knock getting upto full fitness. Their not miracle workers man, time will tell. All will become apparant.

Comment #73Team does need to get some goals though, and hopefully from the three key buys, De Jong, Cabella and most notably Rivierre, who is probably already feeling the weight of expectation.

Comment #74Would anyone accept a mediocre league position and a couple of decent cup runs bearing in mind there is little or no possibility of Pardew leaving if the following happened:
(1)…At least 3 of our academy youngsters are fully integrated into the senior team this season (Armstrong, Aarons and Satka)
(2) As there seems to be no takers for HBA, Pardew fully integrates him back into the team in a No. 10 role.
(3)…Pay out the contracts of Jonas and Obertan as they will not be used and are therefore taking up squad space unnecessarily.
(4)….Devise an attacking format especially at home and lose the defensive attitude.
(5)….Loan out Streete, Gillihead and Kemen to championship clubs on the proviso they are played each week rather than sitting on the bench as Campbell appears to be doing at Fleetwood.
(6)….With Dawson and Lascelles coming in next season, it would seem a couple from Krul, Elliott, Saylor, Williamson and Colo will be leaving. Play Mbiwa in the centre of defence. Sign Van Dijk and sell Saylor asap. Allow Colo to return home and start the planning for a top 6 push for next season now.
(7)….Get this lad Ferrerya in the side now and lets see if he is the goalscorer we desperately need.
(8)….Stop wasting time on unrealistic targets like Remy, Welbeck and Lacazette. They clearly dont want to come here.

Comment #75Jimmy
I feel sorry for Riviere. He is clearly not a target man and would be better used as a wide left attacking player in a 433 system.
We would be better served with De Jong playing in a false 9 position with Cabella and Riviere on either side. Sissoko making late runs into the box from midfield with De Jong coming short to play him in or the wide players.

Comment #76Expat
Yes I would take that, a tenth place finish and a quarter or semi final as long as we show progression in the field along with all your points.
I’m not a fan of the 4 2 3 1 formation as it a way to get 2 DM’S on the pitch I’d rather the 4 3 3 from a few years ago which with the players we had could be defencive or attacking depending who we play.
My main Problem with Pardew is he’s been here 3 full seasons and hasn’t implemented a formation or style for the team, it constantly changes and we seem to be more interested in stopping opposition than getting our players to do what their capable of.
It’s all well and good playing to stop the opposition getting chances but when that style stifles your teams chances it’s no good we need a more balanced approach.
IMO we should have as a club a set formation and way of playing which is then implemented through all the youth and devolopement squads. Then when thease players get a chance with the first team they know what’s expected in their position as they’ve been groomed to play that way. It would also help in recruitment by being able to spot players who would fit our style and formation.

Comment #77This idea that Newcastle are a selling club is rather too simplistic to. Remy, Cabaye, Enrique and Nzogbia are the only three I can think of other than Milner, which I still haven’t gotten over, who were sold to the detriment of the side, Carroll obviously was pretty much us taking advantage of Liverpool’s vulnerable position. The others to a man wanted to go when we would have preferred to keep them. Of course as a fan I’d like Ashley to spend some more money, and in the past he hasn’t spent enough to warrant the price of a ticket. I don’t think that’s a fair criticism anymore, assuming the profits are being reinvested.

Comment #80OP
Some good points there and like you, I cannot understand his inability to formulate a game plan to take advantage of oppostion weaknesses as well as a back up plan if the original doesnt work.
For example, why would you play 2 defensive midfielders at home against weaker opposition who line up with 2 forward which is what I expect Palace to do on saturday.
I saw enough against Man City that his formation gave the impetus to City from the start. I was hoping he would line up 433 and use Aarons and Cabella on both flanks to attack their full backs which i believed were their weak points but he lacked the courage to go for the jugular from the start and this was proven in the last 15 minutes if that fame when City paniced to a certain extent when Cabella Aarons and Perez were getting at them.
