I think that you winger you got will do a lot to help, Obertan was lazy was fuck. When someone who's usually picked for his pace is being outrun by a 32 year old Wayne Bridge then somethings going wrong. What happened last season won't happen though. You need to focus on not getting dragged into a relegation battle and then rebuild in the summer.

And as I said before, the contact was minimal but it was contact. Whether it was a foul or not is hard to say, but from where I was it looked like he caught him in the thigh, Lopez lost balance and fell over, the referee blew the whistle and ran to Ameobi reaching for his pocket and then Lopez rolled along on the floor doing whatever while everyone else was looking at the ref.

The return of Ben Arfa should help but even something as simple as starting Marveux or Ferguson could well have been a better choice. Which is somewhat ironic as Obertan was one of the few NUFC players who at least made an effort - Sammy Ameobi kept falling over, Shola was useless even before his dodgy red and our defence was as rotten as ever.

The biggest priority is making sure we won't go down but to do that we need players - either out of the treatment room or from Ashley dipping in his pockets. But I wonder if Ashley is willing to stump up the cash.

The return of Cabaye, Cisse and Ben Arfa will see us stay in the Premier League - even a team like Man Utd would miss that amount of quality being injured.

Tbf there is only a gap of 9 points between Newcastle United and Swansea in 9th place. If you get your best players fit, sort out that defence and go on a good run there is no reason why you can't achieve a top 10 finish.

Yeah i agree NUFC have way too much quality in the best 11 to go down if Cabaye didn't get injured you'd be comfortably in the top half

Newcastle won't go down, I think they'll pick up a bit soon and end up around 12th/13th. But that would still be a disappointing season after last year and the good squad they've managed to build (even if a lot of the backup players today looked very poor).

It would have been very difficult for them to finish 5th again but I'm sure a push for the top 6 or 7 was the target at the start of the season. Pardew will probably get time to sort it too after receiving that 8 year deal.

That the worst defending seen by man since the Trojans decided to bring a massive wooden horse into their walls

Woeful performance. RVP hasn't been able to do much, Rafael in center midfield was baffling and the defending has been poor.

As Ninja said, really missing Carrick.
