awesome result ! so can we say that we won the battle of the midfield ?

lol gay ah, Cabaye more handsome

anyway good result, considering its against Spurs (who have improved tremendously over the past few seasons)

didnt watch the match but Ameobi , what a goal and what a time to score

great game of football especially in the 2nd half, either team could've nicked it but i thought a draw was a fair result, again Obertan was frustrating to watch. Special praise though must be given to Raylor who coped extremely well, old floppy chops thought by switching Bale to the right to have a right go at him backfired, thought Bale looked lost on the right haha.

Tiote again is immense and Saylor didn't get away with it so it serves as a wake up call for him then. All round good performance at home considering we were against Spurs and I thought Spurs looked a completely different side to the one that completely ripped apart Pool.

ya man, cabaye+tiote outclassed modric+parker in every aspect

i really hope santon can make a cut! so as HBA

Tiote marked VDV gao gao... i remember he got only 1 shot.
And Bale's form not as good as expected.

We should have win the game! Coloccini turned shot missed, just few yards away from goal

Eh..THE ZUL..u got Shola on the back of ur new jersey yet? haha

It was a fantastic performance..but I wasn't surprised that we could actual;ly pull off a result against one of the big team..let me remind all of you here..

Last season: ONLY MAN CITY managed to do the double over Newcastle.. Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs did not manage to get all 6 points against us..

so it does show that our team does not fear the big sides..its the lesser sides that we dropped points againts..like Wigan last season where we drew 2-2 at home..and then we have Stoke after that match and we lost to them home and away last season..if we can improve our results agiants these teams (an on evidence, we can do that), we should be able to pick up more points this season..

Lets compare our results so far this season to that of last season:

Last Season:
Arsenal (H) 4-4 Draw
This season:
Arsenal (H) 0-0 Draw

Last Season:
mackems (A) 1-1 Draw
This season:
mackems (A) 1-0 Win

Last Season:
Fulham (H) 0-0 Draw
This Season:
Fulham (H) 2-1 Win

Last Season:
Blackpool (A) 1-1 Draw
This Season:
QPR (A) 0-0 Draw

Last Season:
Villa (A) 0-1 Lose
This Season
Villa (A) 1-1 Draw

Last Season:
Blackburn (H) 1-2 Lose
This season:
Blackburn (H) 3-1 Win

Last season:
Wolves (A) 1-1 Draw
This season:
Wolves (A) 2-1 Win

Last season:
Spurs (H) 1-1 Draw
This season (H) 2-2 Draw

n i know this is two season ago but just to show..we lost to Scunthorpe and Nottingham Forest away but this season we won both matches away..

so...

Last season:
Wigan (H) 2-2 Draw
This season:
Wigan (H) ???

Last season:
Stoke City (A) 0-4 Lose
This season:
Stoke City (A) ???

Ltes hope we can improve and get better results this tim around

HOWAY THE LADS!!!

yaa ameobi should be in my nameset!
ameobi looks good as supersub

santon debut, 15 minutes on pitch he got ball a lot and look flawless while controlling the ball.
i'd say Santon > simpson.

but i bet another UNCHANGED squad at wigan match

Newcastle close to Maiga signing



more good news !

just another news, later would be another wind blowing north to south

Be positive and have some confidence..

Take the suppposed Maiga signing with a pinch of salt i would, after all the fiascos in the summer, but do think he's similar to Best and Ba, would prefer someone small, quick and cunning, perhaps some one like Defoe

I dont get why so many of our fans are really disturbed by the supposed Maiga signing..One fan on Toon Army FB was saying we shouldnt sign him coz he's strike rate is like 6 goals in 10 games..and saying Demba Ba is better than Maiga..and saying we should get better name strikers..who are we to suddenly to get the big fishes around? I mean..none of us honestly would have said Ba would be as prolific as he is now when he signed..thats why there were outcry for us to get a 2nd striker in during the last few days of the transfer window..but some are saying Maiga is not good enough..WTF?

Now suddenly, because Ba has been scoring, we are in 4th position and doing good, there are some who are getting carried away..we are looking to bolster our strike force, whats the harm of getting another striker in? I get ur point bro Zero Cool..im not against u or ur views at all..in fact i agree with u that Maiga is similar to Best and Ba..and that we should not get to elated about the transfer as it is not done yet..

I am just outlining my view in response to the fan who suddenly think we are good enough to get better name strikers and we shouldnt buy people who's strike rate is not good and so on..some of them have hardly seen Maiga play and yet say he will be a bad buy for NUFC..start coming back down to earth..in aint gonna be pretty all season long..

I agree with that, Maiga's strike rate this season is not bad at all for Sochaux, if 6 in 10 isn't good enough for you then i suggest you start by taking off your footie manager glasses, just merely pointing out the fact that he is similar to what we have already, there is no harm in getting another body in as god knows we'll need cover all across the pitch, its just my personal opinion that we should be looking at a different type of striker given what we already have just to allow us to have a plan B in case the tall strong and quick plan A doesn't work. Also a personal fan of the dying breed of poaching strikers but sadly players like Defoe, Gameiro, Hernandez are whats left of today. Plays off the shoulder, forever offside, speedy, agile and a total arsehole to man mark

But at the end of the day, I will never object to the club spending some money given our track record and I have my full faith in Graham Carr unearthing some gems. If we were so persistent in pursuing Maiga, I'm sure that there must be something he sees in him and I'm fully for it

Sorry but I have had enough of Nile Ranger..he's the last brat and troublemaker we need to get out of the club..idiot and shameless thug..wants to fill his resume with how many times he spends in the lock up..

FACT..NILE RANGER HAS SPENT MORE TIME IN THE POLICE STATION THAN ON THE PITCH FOR NEWCASTLE UNITED THIS SEASON..MUPPET!!!

looking forward for the match tonite, hopefully we dont repeat last season mistakes of losing to 'smaller' teams. since no big teams are playing at 10pm tonite I hope mamak will choose our game instead

looks like we'll be unchanged for the match again, hope we bag 3 points at home this time around

Howay the lads...

CABEYEEEEEEEEE! He would score sooner or later anyway, what a goal!

Marveaux with the assist!

what a sweet goal from cabaye !

from now on, obertan out marveux in. marveux was way better than obertan, reminds me of solano with that long sleeves...

another win. really am surprise with newcastle dis season so far. undefeated with fewest goal conceded. good job from the team.
