Gouffran throwing his hands around and disgust and making no effort to track back....who does he think he is, a temperamental flair player? God help us all

As I'm a bit of a saddo who uses spreadsheets all day at work, and someone bitterly disappointed by the (permanent) exile of Ben Arfa, I thought I'd try and see just how important he was to the team even last season among other things.

Players are ranked below based on the average minutes per goal ...

I think whether Pardew is to blame or not is besides the issue. Just for the record I'll state I want him out but I think the medical staff are more culpable on this than him. When other teams can manage to prevent soft tissue injuries pretty much entirely and we can't manage him I cannot fathom ...

Krul - 5

Debuchy - 4 Borini and Altidore managed to torment for pittys sake
Williamson - 3 Almost as bad as Santon, cant think of one thing he did right
Taylor - 4 As above but made one last gasp decent block so gets an extra mark
Santon - 3 A near horrendous display

Anita - 4 Lacked composure ...

Are we absolutely certain that Sissoko is not impersonating a footballer for the s**** and giggles?

FFS shoot!!!!

The tactical mastermind that is Alan Pardew;

I've got a bit lumbering centre forward....the best way to utilise him is play him as a immobile lone striker with no support within 15 yards so the centre backs can double up with absolute freedom. And whilst this is happening I wont even think to ...

Is it too early to start the 'Where do we go from here thread' or do we have to wait the window to officially slam shut on all lingering vague subconscious hope that we will sign anyone?

Even Carlton Cole is starting to attractive at this point <cringe>

Krul - 7 Did what he needed to do on a shot-stopping front well, distribution still a bit suspect

Debuchy - 7 Excellent second half, kept winning balls in the air and imposed himself which has rarely done since arriving. Bit suspect first half (kept dropping deep and breaking the high line meant to ...

I know imagine, imagine as LF and Hatem on the right

I trust that this "sholas fan club" is not attempting to compete with the Shola Appreciation Society? <wenger>

It's only being in a fan club of one ...

's fan club

Loving the smilies but I have no clue how to change my avatar

And what has happened to Mifune, have you all broken him? (this is where the long time reading but not posting becomes fairly obvious - yes Im lazy)

Just think what he might be able to do working with Hatem <benny>

On the plus side we haven't conceded for 180 minutes <diva>

Does that paper over the horrendous gaping absence of attacking threat?? <wah> <neg>

Against one of the worst away sides in the PL and League 2 Morcombe....thou shall not pass <laugh>


Sush you're ruining it!!! <wah> <grim>

Is this the first time we've ever seen Shola and HBA up front together? It might work surprisingly well (through blind luck, not great foresight by Pardew)

That guy in the crowd summed it up perfectly

Someone earlier mentioned something about a 'gameplan'

As a Newcastle fan I'm familiar with the word but not the concept <grim>

Much like this elusive idea of a 'transfer'....I believe it common but I've never seen one
