One minute silence all over Serie A because we signed Borriellol.

Bet he's going to come on tonight. And score.

I hope De Ceglie has a great game above all. I want to see him cement himself as a good LB
so we can sign Kolarov and sell him for 15m :D, nah I actually want to keep him if he can become class. He has a wicked cross.
 
Wow. Even if I've watched pretty much every NUFC game this season, I'm always surprised by moves like this. And Best did very well to beat his man there. Howay the lads!
 
If Ray Wilkins says "enjoy the ball" one more time I'm gonna strangle him :lol

We need a GIF of that ASAP. Great build up in the final third. Lichtsteiner was fucking killer there. Did what Chiellini never does when he's on LB duties, which is pass the ball when he's in a dangerous position.

In other news, Gilardino fucking blows chunks. Springs the offside trap, perfect pass for him, one on one against Handanovic, and then he doesn't even get a shot off. Fucking Gila... common Genoa we need you useless fucks to win for us.

I think Vucinic went to go thank Albin Ekdal who is apparently in the stands today. I guess cricket isn't on elsewhere....

Ekdal is playing! It was someone behind Nedved, so I'm gonna assume it's Quag :p
 
I love how he's so open about going to watch Remy and being interested in him.

Harry loves talking transfers out of his car window. When I read his press conferences I always imagine him bringing a detached car door to the stand so he can roll down the window and speak comfortably about his dealings.

I remember last summer when some Spurs fans on here saying Chelsea were classes because AVB "keeps talking about our player", in so much as he said once after the sage was over, something along the lines of, "we made bids for Modric which have been turned down and that is the end of it". I tried pointing out the irony at the time but it went unnoticed. But here we are, another transfer window, and Harry's at it again.

I genuinely lol'd.
 
Why doesn't Ben Arfa start in midfield? He'd be a good playmaker/midfield goalscorer.

Cos Pardew is a dumbass. Probably thinks he isn't quite 100% yet.

Ben Arfa isn't perfect but by heck he's one of the best players in the team and can, and will, make a difference to a match, as he so easily showed against Blackburn.

Ben Arfa should be starting every game as the main right winger. Obertan is shite. Have Ba and Best (or a new striker) up front and we'd be good to go.

He's a good number 10 when it comes to the attacking third, but defensively he's atrocious. I think he's not yet in top physical form and his discipline tracking runs of opposing defenders needs a lot of work.

But he'll be a true force to be reckoned with as he matures. Another great signing for Newcastle. He'd already be even better if that psycho De Jong hadn't broken his leg.
 
Wow Palermo midfield managed to create something half decent and take a shot. Amazing. At this rate there might be 3 whole shots on goal by the end of the match by Palermo.
 
This really is a different Vucinic from the Roma Vucinic. I mean, for christ's sake, he's actually back defending and covering De Ceglie's ass when he got caught out. Is this real life?
 
Cagliari's doing some insane pressing though. It's hard to blame our players too much for having to dribble away. After all, its what we do to our opposition all the time.
