Good enough to be on the bench for Birmingham. He's not Torres!

Stick him up front instead of Viduka. Just play him alongside Owen. Hardly rocket science.

See, the problem now is when we lose this, that decision will look to be vital. Viduka is dead on his feet. What exactly is he offering now?

Well done Sam, great decision again. Oh wait..

Martins coming off? Well well...

It's the Newcastle way. Robert, Emre, Geremi; all shit. Fucking hell. Awesome player. Shit at corners.

Isn't that a sending off offence though?

Barton has lost the ball every single time he's had it. Get Smith on for him.

Yep, Owen had nothing to do tbh Rubbish. He wanted the goal! He was surrounded by blue shirts all over. A lesser striker would have flounded Shush man. Owen can do no right. Ever. No point even discussing it on here. Missed sarcasm on first two posts, it seems

Yep, Owen had nothing to do tbh

Get Viduka off and get N'Zogbia on. Martins and Owen up front means chances.

Two fingers up to all you Owen haters tbh

They should relegate the bottom 8 tbh

That's our one chance gone. Can't really blame Owen though; great save.

Yeah, realise it looks that way, but it's not meant to. I just meant it was obvious something needed to be done in January, even to me. Yet nothing was done.

Remember a few games ago when we were shit, but Faye was good. He's finally been dragged down.

On this performance, we're down. We're the worst team in the league at the moment (something I pointed out 12 games ago, but nobody seemed to agree).

"What has Kevin done to inspire them?" Erm, nothing, at a guess.

Smith will still get the blame for this, somehow.

Luck has nothing to do with this I'm afraid.

Of all of the teams fighting against relegation, we deserve to go down. Still, we made a few quid bringing Keegan in.

If that's the case, I'm struggling to see why Barnsley can't afford that now. They clearly don't consider him good enough to pay for though.

Championship football is dreadful. It's more entertaining watching league one stuff. I wonder if expectation levels would fall or raise if we were relegated though?

Barnsley to blame I'm afraid. West Brom paid the 60% because Barnsley were having financial difficulties. The cup run means they can now afford to pay his wages in full (you would have thought?). Wonder how much he's actually on though.
