    Hatem Ben Arfa

    I really think he need more time. He's been working harder in the last few games he played and it just didn't work for him. I thought he was fantastic against qpr when he came on. The highlights are on youtube. He creates chances, uses the ball well and link up with Jonas very well. On the few...

    FIFA give Sunderland sensation McClean the nod to represent Republic of Ireland

    I know what you mean, but I don't even think it even comes down to Religion in this case. I think Religion is just a way of identifying the two cultures, where most Catholics are descendants of native Irish, and Protestants are descendants of British settlers. I'd bet that there's a large...

    FIFA give Sunderland sensation McClean the nod to represent Republic of Ireland

    It can't work the other way around because the only reason the rule exists is due to the Good Friday agreement, allowing people from Northern Ireland choose to be Irish or British. The fact is that most Catholics born in Northern Ireland will want to play for the Republic of Ireland. This is...

    Player Ratings!

    How can you rate Obertan better than Jonas. I thought Jonas was our best player along with Colo, Guthrie and Krul. Jonas worked so hard defensively, rarely lost the ball and got an assist. Back to his best today.

    Official Matchday Thread - Newcastle vs Aston Villa

    Has Perch started in centre midfield for us before? I really don't think he offers enough. Don't mind him coming on to break up play but I can't see him creating much.

    Who is your favourite NUFC player ?

    I can see him doing better when we get Ba back. Shola just can't play the passing game and has terrible movement. And getting Tiote and Cabaye back will also help him. I just hope Pardew keeps playing him.

    Who is your favourite NUFC player ?

    I agree. I really want to see him get back to his best for us.

    Shola is Sh*te and I'd like to see any of you challenge me

    Shola has fooled people into thinking he had a good game because of his previous few matches where he hardly had a touch. But he's not good enough for Newcastle. If Ba played like Shola did last night we wouldn't say he was one of our best players after Perch. But to be fair, he did have a...

    Bano 1-0 Pardew

    Was Ben Arfa not his signing too though? Permanent signing?

    Obertan get in your spacecraft and go back to Uranus!

    He's been playing English football for 2 and a half years. How has he not adapted yet? His performance tonight was one of the worst I've ever seen in the premier league. Didn't even try to close them down, didn't look interested. Gave it away far too often. Didn't even look like threatening...

    How can people still back the board?

    Yeah, fair enough. But I'd expect decent players to be brought in to replace them. But hopefully the young lads can do the job. I don't believe he's taken it out of the club, but we were promised it would be reinvested on players. The club should have already budgeted for expenses before we...
