Absolute masterclass from Krul today. Lose to Sunderland, beat Chelsea and Spurs. That's Newcastle for you.

Is Krul the best keeper in the EPL? Sure looked like it today.
He's a damn fine shot stopper as you saw today, but his distribution is piss poor. But whatever, that's a brilliant clean sheet considering Spurs' dominance.

Coming off two big wins. Any bad news?

Why yes! People are calling Steven Taylor a racist!

Cue the discussion of locker room culture, a la Richie Incognito/Jonathan Martin.

Racist or not, that's just an incredibly stupid thing for anyone to tweet, nevermind someone high profile.

SHOLAGOALS with an assist and a beauty goal against Italy at Craven Cottage.  In the first half.

Started the week three points out of Europe, now two points out of Europe.  Have to call that a successful weekend.  
 
Next five matches are:
 
West Brom
@Swansea
@Man United
Southhampton
@Crystal Palace
 
Gonna learn a lot about this club over the next month.  These five matches go a long way towards deciding this season.

Removing Cabaye for Ameobi was puzzling to me as well, looks like he'd picked up a knock though.
 
This was enjoyable

Right cuz you pulled your kit off and are twirling it around your head like a helicopter. Great win, Toon. Beaten Chelsea, Tottenham, and United. Good stuff.

Yeah, I think Ameobi was the player ready to come on and when Cabaye got dinged, Pardew had to put Ameobi in because he was ready.

You guys provided me with my favorite image in a while: The back of Moyes' head, with the banner reading "United: The Religion" in the background, along with United supporters streaming out before the end.

It's just a miracle how well they're doing on the field given the shitshow that is . . . well, essentially every other aspect of the club.

Gouffran having a fantastic half at both ends.
 
Vurnon Anita with some fantastic play with the ball at his feet in the Southhampton penalty area, sadly no one there to receive his late cross.

Jesus. Martin Atkinson has bent Stoke over and rammed them. After they go up 1-0 at SJP, Atkinson sends two Stoke players off on somewhat harsh calls. Now 1-1
