NEWCASTLE: Harper; Santon, S.Taylor, Perch, Ferguson; Tiote, Anita, Bigirimana; Obertan, Cisse, Sammy Ameobi. Krul, Coloccini, Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Campbell, Shola Ameobi, Ba really wanna see Campbell get in
Good win. Top of the table at the half way point with 7 of 9 points. Have a 3 point lead over Bordeaux. Youth is playing a lot better than I thought they would.
Moussa Sissokho keeps being mentioned to Newcastle, and he has said a move to England is a dream move. Him and Yo are friends from what I've read, and he asked Yo about Newcastle.
Also been reported he has agreed to a pre-contract or whatever they are called. Would love the move on a free.
Damn nice strike by Yohan. Top of my list for the second would be to see some crisper passing, a bunch have seemed a bit lazy so far.

don't know who to blame. pardew's tactics seem weak and unimaginative. but ashley also didn't invest shit into the team to prepare for europe and the pl
Have to spend money to maintain your squad. We are beyon thin everywhere. I don't blame Pardew. Squad is tired and injured.
I just think pards could improve the tactics. too much long ball. And yes, we need to buy a couple in January and then 4 more next summer. I accept we won't be in Europe next year unless we win Europa, but we need to improve certain areas of squad. RB, CB, LM, and depth at ST, and CM
less jonas, provides nothing. need more playmakers and guys that can move the ball like cabaye and hba
we need to get debuchy in january. and also try and get a new CB to go with Colo. Willo can't cut it and STaylor can't stay healthy anite been looking solid the last month Give Cisse a game or two off. need him to get going.
Remy in means Ba out right? Need to strengthen the back line. Fine in the middle when healthy. Read the Journal and they said 3 were lined up for the beginning of January. Have a bad felling it will be 3 in...2 or 3 out though.
Season is lost, outside of Europa. Yesterday could be a blessing. No one can deny that we do not need to bring in transfers. Need RB, CB and a ST if Ba leaves. . Mearvoux has looked great in place of Ben Arfa/Cabaye. Williamson is a Championship level defender and it has cost us all year.
On Debuchy: Mark Douglas @MsiDouglas My understanding is #nufc agree fee w/ Lille for Debuchy. More info in Journal tomorrow. Mark Douglas @MsiDouglas I know we've been here before but fact fee agreed is very significant. That was always problem over summer. More later... #nufc Graeme Bailey @GraemeBailey Lille and Newcastle have agreed a fee in the region of £5million for Mathieu Debuchy, Sky Sports sources understand.
Graeme Bailey @GraemeBailey Debuchy is expected to be in Newcastle on Wednesday to finalise deal. #nufc Would be available for the game after Everton I believe. Everton looking very good against Chelsea, glad to catch them on shorter rest.
TekkaBooSon @TekkaBooSon BREAKING: Demba Ba meeting with Chelsea reps tonight in regards to a move in Jan for £7 million.
Freelance journalist@indykaila Moving fast at Newcastle United. Details to follow shortly........ #NUFC
Seems like you guys are too busy to be worrying about actual football. Good, that should help our worn out team.
Lucky for you guys we are still missing all three of our right backs. Forcing Johnny Heitinga into the lineup again.
With Ba leaving Cisse should be able to flourish more, much like he did at the beginning of this match. Keep up the good work.
Yeah I am only watching the liverpool and chelsea matches, just saw that Cisse scored in the 2nd minute. My point still stands though, he should be finding the back of the net a bunch more now.
