I'm actually quite happy with the team. It's obvious that 5 or 6 of them just aren't good enough, but with the squad Keegan has, what other options did he have?

How much have you seen of him? He's been at Scunthorpe* on loan for the last few months. The guy is an absolute joke - exactly like Shola but on a completely different level. So to answer your question - quite a lot. * I do realise I've now opened myself up to the "how can you comment on Newcastle if you watch Scunny" comments, but hey Who put the 'cunt' in scunthorpe? Thinking back, I've never heard that before, well done

How many games have those 2 actually missed for England without missing the following games for their clubs though? I can think of better examples tbh, but I fo get your point.

Two right wingers? planning on playing Milner wide left then ? For me, Milner is better on the left than the right.

Yeah, right. He's basically said that 3 or 4 top players can make the players currently at the club take it to a higher level. Why would he say that if he wanted more?

Nobody else picking up on the fact that he's clearly saying we're only signing 4 players maximum?

Tommi Ameobi is fucking shite.

They did, just been on SSN about how some idiots were whistling and shouting stuff. I was there Anyway, there were about 5 people whistling, then an ironic "shut your f****** mouth" from a fan up near the back of the west stand. Nothing major, but I still can't understand why people do it. According to The Times, the referee ended the minute's silence after only 27 seconds because the jeering was so bad. It was certainly ended early, but it really was just a few idiots. Don't know why they're hyping it up so much. Agree with Alex over the minutes clapping, but Manchester United specifically requested a silence. It was actually going to be a minutes applause last night but they complained and got it changed.

Soopafan Gerrard still set-up a goal however. That alone means he deserves the Gerrard wankathon the media subject us too.

He didn't actually look that good last night from the stands. Better than Gerrard though, who was piss poor.

Give over man!

They've won more than Liverpool, as many as Everton, and only one less than Chelsea at home.

We will get a point against Villa and Man u,beat Blackburn and lose to Liverpool at the very best We won't draw with Villa at Villa Park.

That's a very high mark for N'Zogbia IMO. I think he was pretty poor. Are people honestly saying we couldn't have brought in a better player than Nicky Butt in January???

We've moved a point closer to safety lads, let's not forget that.

N'zogbia has been poor again today. We should have bought 2 left backs last summer.

Ref's had a shocker, much like most of our players. 4 minutes left, Boro hit the post and have the goal disallowed after it was put in.

I really cannot wait for this season to be over.

Why exactly didn't Given react to that? Ahh well, getting better. At least we managed to score today, and we've only got Villa and Man United coming up.

Take the hint please mate.

That's exactly what I mean about Cacapa. He's great at tackles like that, but as soon as he has a defender running at him he looks lost.

Cacapa doesn't actually have the ability to defend with his back to goal. A bit worrying really. Don't think he's up to the pace of this league at all. At least our best defender is back next week

I think Smith will be shipped out in summer anyway.
