New home kit.

My god, that's just so dull! So do Warrior own NB or the other way round?

[glb]

NB is the parent company. Warrior is the ginger stepchild.

I liked Warrior's home kits, shame the new one is less inspiring.

[gospvg]

Sterling, Ibe & Coutinho upfront.

[Stig]

Fantastic ball from Hendo and great finish by Sterling.

[gospvg]

Lovely goal by Sterling

[Takizawa]

This is all set up for us to concede against the run of play and lose all confidence we're playing with.

[Stig]

ooooh so close for Lucas.

Ref bottled that, that looked like a penalty to me

[hmm]

Lovren is so bad. Definite penalty.

[gospvg]

Lots of chances we need to score a 2nd soon before Lovren goes in for another tackle attempt & gives a penalty away.

Sterling's goal: http://streamable.com/fdco

Nice control and quick feet.

[Kelthink]

Mason has been awful, holy smokes.

[glb]

Now seen the pelanty challenge several times and can conclude Lee Mason was at the exact moment Lovren went hacking wondering if he'd set the Sky+ for Game of Thrones.

[ryodi]

This is going to end up 2-1 to Newcastle isn't it.

[gospvg]

Oh dear Sterling

[gospvg]

Allen scores 2-0

[gospvg]

Newcastle down to 10 two Yellow's for Sissoko.

Sterling should have scored a hat trick

[gospvg]

FT 2-0 good result. Bring on Villa

[Oh Danny Boy]

Sterling still can't hit sitters, worth over a £100k a week currently? Of course not.

I'm not confident for Saturday, not if Lovren and Johnson are playing. We are going to concede goals.

[Azrael]

Keeping a cleansheet with Lovren and Johnson in defence is astonishing. I don't see them being able to keep Benteke out though.

Good result, disappointed we didn't score more considering the chances we had.

Lucky its on Sunday :D

[Chewylegs]

Lucky Skrtel will be back too!

He's got to pay for his nitrous oxide and shisha pipes though...

[The Fox]

Just seen those photos. Tbh if I was Rodgers I'd be more concerned with Ibe's jeans. Definitely worth a hefty fine IMO.

[Oh Danny Boy]

I fear that Sterling will turn out to be another English prospect hampered by arrogance and poor attitude off the pitch. The more I hear of these stories the more I'm inclined to see the club sell him for big £££ confident that his career will never reach the heights to fill the club with any regrets.

[Gabe]

I remarked to somebody at work today - half-joking - that it's like he's doing these things to push to club to wanting to sell him.

I don't really think that, it's merely a reminder that he's just a kid that does some silly things like we all have.

[Chewylegs]

It's all a bit convenient that these pictures are coming out now isn't it? You have to wonder whether the club have been sat on them, releasing them now because it might put people off buying him or maybe it's the newspapers that have waited for the right time to call him up on these things. Whatever it is, it's very suspicious.

Personally, I'd love him to stay at the club, he's a great prospect and could be a world beater. If he wants to go though, well I don't think it will be as damaging to us as people think and I'd rather we make money on him than have him possibly sulk his way to the end of his contract.

I'm beginning to think Studdger might be a bit of a prima donna too, especially after Rodgers comments of players needing to understand that they will always have niggly injuries through their career. Maybe he just needs to play through the pain once in a while?!

[Chewylegs]

Pretty important in the summer that we buy a proven striker, an established right back, competition for The Mig and potentially a solid centre back. There are certainly some players that need to be shipped out.

Wasn't that the shopping list for last summer too?

[Chewylegs]

, practically yes!

We failed to get a second keeper in, Balotelli has been a failure and Manquillo is still too young to rely on.

Lovren..... Not sure what say about him, just hope he is adjusting to playing for a bigger team.

I agree with you up until the bit about him getting to the end of his contract. I think that's the least likely outcome. He's turned down 100k p/w. Accepting that offer would have seen him earn £6.76m more over the next two years of his contract. Can you really see it making sense for him to stay on £35k p/w so that he can leave for nothing in two years? Sure, he might make the difference back in a signing on fee after leaving on a bosman, but then again I'm sure he'd be treated very differently by the manager than he currently is. It's too much of a risk to turn down that sort of money and risk your development over a period of two years. I think he'll sign an extension this summer, whether he sees himself staying on for the long haul or not.

I reckon that was aimed at Mario. He's the one that has made himself unavailable for games due to injuries after the medical team have passed him as fit to play. Sturridge has been suffering with a series of soft tissue injuries.
