Just dont go in the stadium protest outside the ground while the match is on on Wednesday.

But they were quick to get shot of Fernando Morientes when they realised he wasn't up to the task. Can you imagine how pissed off you would be if you went into work and they said, oh we've brough someone else in to do your job he's not very good yet but you never know he might come good soon. Bollocks to that I'd be a tad pissed off knowing I was being kept out of the side by someone who was performing like Luque.

Rest of the panel didn't exactly disagree. In fact I can't find many people who disagree just the handful on here who try to stick up for him despite his terrible performances.

You seem to miss the point, I'd rather have someone on the pitch who's any good than someone who scores fluke goals. The fact is when Luque has played he has not played well enough for the manager to say, I can't leave him out. Sibierski has even done better than bloody Luque and he was free. Luque is not good enough to play in the Premiership, his football is not suited to the league he should go back to Spain where he can perform again.

So basically no difference between him and Shola other than one cost £9.5m? Exactly, though Shola does manage the odd fluke goal. First time in a very long time I've seen St James Park worried about a penalty when Shola stepped up to take it.

Plenty of changes to the prediction league after this result, heres the top 5: 1 0 benniggs 17 5 4 8 12 28 -16 112 2 +3 Dr. Richard Kimble 17 4 7 6 13 26 -13 103 3 -1 Robelix 18 3 4 11 23 30 -7 98 4 0 Jonny Hall 19 4 5 10 17 32 -15 96 5 -2 ThreeWiseMonkeys 19 3 7 9 13 33 -20 95 http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcpredictionleague

I think it's more to do with the fact when he plays he looks like he's not bothered, doesn't run about, doesn't try to get into decent postitions, can't take on his man and overall shows himself to be yet another massive waste of money. He's had his chances he was crap simple as.

Not sure how I'm still doing this but there you go Anyway good few changes between the top 5 after last nights game with threewisemonkeys dropping 2 places. 1 0 benniggs 16 5 3 8 12 27 -15 106 2 0 Robelix 17 3 4 10 22 28 -6 95 3 +1 Jonny Hall 18 4 4 10 17 30 -13 93 4 +1 Dr. Richard Kimble 16 3 7 6 12 26 -14 92 5 -2 ThreeWiseMonkeys 18 3 6 9 13 31 -18 92 I believe only 3 people got the score spot on last night with me being one and climbing to the lofty hights of 8th Anyway check your positions out at http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcpredictionleague

FF doesn't have anywhere near the sort of cash to buy the club in total he'd need backing

I've also just added some new matches today.

Not at all, but charvs are pretty easy to spot We wanted a plan that was all we were happy to advertise where you were sat and to try and promote it but if it was just going to stop at that and you had no plans to make it bigger then whats the point. I would rather improve the atmosphere throughout st james rather than just level 7 during the cup games. You admint your numbers are to low, the reason is because there is no plan no structure just a few people argreeing to sit in the same seats and sing songs together. Not exactly a campaign to improve the atmosphere now is it. As for what HTT might have done I had nothing to do with that or really any of the Hitzfeld campaign so not sure why that would have had anything to do with what I came to the site (after being invited) and said.

We tried I went over to the site and offered full support if they actually planned what they were going to do and I thought it would go well. Couple of people said great loads of charvs on the board said we don't want N-O to help we hate N-O so fine I thought and left, havn't been back since.

No changes for the top 5 after yesterdays game so the top of the league looks like this: 1 benniggs 14 5 2 7 10 23 -13 100 2 Robelix 14 3 2 9 18 23 -5 83 3 ThreeWiseMonkeys 14 3 4 7 12 24 -12 80 4 edtheduck 13 3 3 7 9 25 -16 64 5 taylor27 13 1 6 6 6 26 -20 60 10 bonus points are on offer for this Thursdays match so make sure you get your predictions in as it can shoot you up the table.

Less than 300k SSN said this morning.

Why don't you think Martins --- Rossi/Shola Nzogbia/Duff--------------------emre----------Parker----------Solano/Milner Babayaro------------------Taylor------------Moore-------------Carr --------------------------------Given Can do enough to get us at the very least midtable ? If they can't then it's definatly the players fault as they are all of a good enough quality and have played enough Premiership football (bar 1) to get us there.

I never understand how the manager gets the blame if transfers don't go through nowadays (yes before but not not) all managers do now is give the chairman a list of who they want the chairman should do the rest (or the director of football) so FS has to be to blame for any players who didn't come which GR wanted.

50k a week, scoring in friendlies, being given a full 90 minutes, the chance to get his place in the Spanish squad, being full fit this season, showing people he just had a bad time last season and the chance to pull on the black and white strip not a big enough boost then ?

I really wish they did Opta stats for European games I could show you how wrong you are. I was sat in the South Stand facing the side of the goal and I saw how many balls he crossed there and how many made in into the box but because we had nobody else in the box came to nothing.
