Tales from the Toon. The ups and downs of an NUFC supporter....

[boldie]

krulm colocini., taylor, santonn, tiote, cabaye, ben arfa and gutierez would get in alottttt of teams either starting or full squad members i.e 15 games per season.

Imo only Colo on Tiote would get a look in at a top 6 team, I think the rest would stuggle to get on the bench. I like Cabaye a lot from what I've seen though. Gutieres is terrible mate, seriously. I like your blind faith/loyalty/love for the team, it's exactly what I used to be like.

I understand your cynicism and frustration at the way the club is going, I used to be like that. Then one day, I sat up in bed and thought.. wow we have a world class team here.

. Bless ya.... Be happy if you get 11th-12th.

and signing 2 big players to become a top 5 team? Maybe if those two are Messi and Ronaldo.

We have a solid back 5 now, something we havn't had for 15 years, I gaurantee you we will concede less than last season (willing to bet whatever) if there is one problem this year it will be that we don't score enough goals, hopefully this willbe rectified in January.

However we only lose 1 player to African National in the New Year which is Tiote and with players like Danny Guthrie and Dan Gosling we have more than fine replacements.

Krul - would get in most prem teams
Santon - Young but I think you will be surprised by him, would get in most teams
Collocini - Would get in any team apoart from Man U/Chelsea
Taylor - Get in around 15 teams

Tiote - Get in any team in prem. > mikel
Cabaye - Get in 15 teams+ in prem
Guttierez - Would get in 15 teams in prem

Ben Arfa - When fit would get in any team in prem


Cant wait to see Barton abs destroyed by our midfield this weekend, hes really bad as part of a 2cm. Santon will have SWP in his back pocket too and hopefulyl Simpson kicks Tarrabat off the park.

[toddswain]

Getting crushed atm, our midfield isnt anywhere to be seen

How are we still in this game ? Should be 3-0 at least.

Interested to hear Pads thoughts on that 1st half performance 

[toddswain]

Most painful game ive ever watched, we was sooo bad, doubt Tiote, Gutierrez, Obertan and Rtaylor could have give the ball away more. Sooo bad in the midfield, tilt

[pleno1]

Fantastic result, undefeated, no striker, best player out, star summer signing on the bench not matchfit.

QPR with over 9000 new signings trying to impress, long trip to London on a Monday after an international break.

Clean sheet.

I know our midfield got overrun but Tiote and Cabaye did both play.

[pleno1]

yeh was tactical mistake by Pardew, should have put Guthrie/Gosling in there and try to counter attack from the wings.

Tiote is playing turd this season.

Cabaye didnt have many option, when Ben Arfa comes back, he can play lots of 10-15 yard passes instead of looking for the world cup pass everytime like he has to atm.
