Steven Fletcher scores again, someone's going to throw some money at him.

He's certainly got an eye for goal. I'd take him, Chamakh still hasn't figured out that you generally need to be facing the goal to score.

Bentdner again shows why Arsenal aren't willing to offer him more games.

Newcastle are really a much better team than Liverpool. I'd be happy to see them finish 6th this season. They are playing great organized game so far without Tiote, Cabaye or Demba Ba.

and man.. Boothroyd sucks, bring macheda on already.

Remember this time last year (me included) where crucifying Newcastle for getting Pardew? How he's turned that around has been incredible, doing a fantastic job there. Also doesn't help that QPR are actually crap.

Yeah nothing on QPR without Barton though.

Can't help but think the decision makers are different in Newcastle now than when Houghton was fired. Surely Ashley would have sold Tiote and Ba on the first chance in January.

As much as I love Dennis Wise I was so glad when he lef Newcastle, guy was ruining their history.

To be fair I think all the winning helps, if they were around mid table or just hovering above the relegation zone then I think they sell Ba, Tiote and Coloccini would be at Liverpool in a week.

No Arteta today, that hurts.

Yeah and even Gutierrez was in great demand, especially from Liverpool. I think he's a top left back right now.

Miquel's first PL start.

Like what I've seen of him before today,

Ramsey playing next to Song, will be interesting to see how he does there. Benayoun in front of them.

Swish!

28 goals in 20 away games. Pretty awesome that.

Missed it, what was the stat?

Lively game, I'm shutting my laptop down to get a handle of this.

Walcott has been useless yet again.

They just showed the opposite angle - should have been a red card, he was given a penalty instead!

Not a great first half, wasn't a penalty.

About right for the decisions we've been getting lately. Can't get a penalty given for us, they get that as a penalty.
