is world class, what a goal with his right foot too!
without him we looked average, we made a rubbish villa side look good and it's worrying that we have to rely on HBA to rescue us. Cisse and Ba doesnt work, 4-4-2 doesn't work and all our players are getting injured , the international break couldn't come sooner.

He's one of my favourite players. Definitely the best dribbler in England.
I'd love him at Arsenal.

I still wish Wenger had opted buy him instead of Nasri. But he obviously had attitude problems back then. But we can still get him

It's actually unbelievable he plays for us. He's just so good

I beg to differ.
You came up against a determined villa today.
I think we deserve more credit than what the op has given.
We looked good b/c we were good.
Almost played you at your own game and could have won it.
Draw was about the right result though.
Seriously, I think you may look back on this and realise it was actually a good result.
Here's hoping anyway.
Good luck for the rest of the season apart from the visit to villa park of course.

fair play semper, I'm not denying you were the better side but you don't have the best team and we made you better than you were because of our poor performance

Villa were very good first half today (after the first 10 minutes). Pressed a lot and made us make mistakes, but we were poor too. Second half Villa weren't as good and we were better but we lacked creativity

It wasnt a poor newcastle performance though.
Villa really harried and hassled and at times had 3 men on a single player.
Newcastle played their part in a very entertaining game.
Its probably fair to say we weren't taken very seriously to begin with owing to our recent performances however, once you realised you were in a game, it became a very tight affair.

Can we buy him? How long does his contract run?

Yes it was. It was awful. Missed Tiote terribly and front 2 failing to link again. Villa were good though, pressed us very well.
