So surely this is progress, he played badly and has been dropped.

Now I've had time to look at line up, I quite like it - it's so utterly unpredictable that it might cause an upset. Plus bringing on Gordon and Barnes when they are tired to run at them, with Wissa to poach. . . could be a genius move.

I see Joe Cole says "I think taht Newcastle will get slapped". Lets prove the ****er wrong.
