R.I.P BBC Radio 5 Live commentator David Oates, I enjoyed his work.

even at 40% fit he is better than most of your defence hate to say this as he is a mercenary but he is a bloody good defender

I know I'm a few days late to comment on Newcastle's win over Chelsea last weekend, but I have had issues with my laptop and had to get a new one.

Anyway, I'm fucking delighted with this result. I think that win last weekend over Chelsea could be the turning point in our season.

I tuned into the game early in the second half, but I had to turn it off as the nerves once again got the better of me when Mata made it 2-1 to Chelsea. But when I saw the final result, I was like how the fuck did we do that? Its not like us to do comebacks these days.

Beating Aston Villa last week was a crucial win for us, but this win over Chelsea today like I said earlier will/could be the turning point in our season because there is a bit of momentum now and confidence must be high now after winning two games in a row for the first time this season. I'm still keeping my feet on the ground and we still have a lot of work to do, but so far since adding quality players like Sissoko and Debuchy progress is looking good and it could get better when Ben Arfa comes back into the team.

On a couple of side notes, I have been really impressed by Sissoko so far and looks to be a real bargain for 2 million. I'm also liking the midfield three of Sissoko, Cabaye and Perch as there is a good blend there between the three of them.

I was disappointed to hear that Ba got booed by some of the Newcaste fans during the Chelsea game last weekend. He didn't say anything bad about the club when he left and was a great servant to the club while he was here. If it wasn't for Ba's goals last season we wouldn't have got 5th place in the table and if it wasn't for his goals in the first half of this season we would have been bottom of the table by now in my opinion.

Plus I can't blame him for leaving Newcastle either. As I have said before its not like he wasn't showing any ambition by leaving us because at Chelsea he now has the chance to win trophies, play in the Champions League and play with and against the best players in the world. I will always hold Ba in high regard and respect what he did for Newcastle during his time here.

Good game tonight Brasil 4 England 1 Neymar hat trick

Fred

We've stuffed now that they've brought on Fred. He's got one gift goal and has managed to hit the crossbar with another shot.

It looks like Brazil are finally playing with 11 men now that Ronaldinho's gone off and Fred's on.

Seriously how has lampard not been given a new contract at chelsea? I'd sign him up until a 3 year deal whilst Chelsea still can. He just proves that you don't need to be quick or young to get goals, he could still score goals when he's 40.

England played well deserved the win, poor game from Brasil, Neymar didn't show what he's capable of, Fred played well for us and Oscar looked good.

Decent game from England tonight. Some good passing and one of their best team performances in a while. Not really bothered what Brazil did to be honest, as an Englishman I'm more interested to see that England did the things they needed to do for once.
