    6 goals in his first proper season in the premiership so far without really featuring before christmas is a great achievement
    I dunno. He's the kind of guy that likes a scrap rather than having chances set up for him on a plate, and he's happy for the ball to be in the air. I think he could do OK for us given the lack of finesse in our build up play.

    Exactly. It's something positive anyway.

    This was a terrible first ten / fifteen weeks of the season, but almost by stealth there's been good news with Long, Best, Coleman and Clark starting to show, Duff getting back to form and so on.

    I can't find anything online but tomorrow's Mail suggests that Best is injured and will miss the Macedonia game.

    Pardew said: "It is very unfair to try to put Leon under this massive pressure - it has been growing day by day.

    "He needs to have time and space to make the right decision as to who he wants to play for at international level.

    "I don't expect a final decision unless Leon is ready for it.

    "When he is ready to decide where to play his international football we will be supportive and happy for him.

    "The nation that is going to get Leon Best is going to be a very fortunate one."
    not liking the sound of this lads... Trappatoni, get your finger out and meet with the lad.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    Seems the Irish Newcastle trio of Ireland, Best and Folan have hit a sore spot with the fans after being pictured in a bar the evening before the Stoke game. Pardew is apparently unhappy. Hopefully Best doesn't see less action over this.

    Seems a bit of a fuss over nothing given that none of them were going to be involved in the game.....

    Stephen Ireland's alloy-matching boxers are lovely though.

    I have to say I really don't see the issue here, they weren't with the squad so why not go out? I'd say Pardew's delighted this has taken the focus off an abysmal performance against Stoke......

    Bloody tabloids. This is such a non story.

    1. None of them were playing the next day.
    2. They went home early.
    3. All 3 of them drank non-alcoholic drinks.

    Tabloid just gets a photo, and some irate quotes from fans oblivious to the facts, and create a scandal out of it.


    If you want to know more about how tabloids invent stories and scandals to sell papers, then read Richard Peppiatt's resignation letter to the Daily Star, where he reveals how they literally make stuff up on tight deadlines under immense pressure to have popular stories.

    That's a pity. Good job the earliest Jon Walters' bird can be expecting next is in January.
