It was deflected was it not?

Did they score? No Did we score? Yes Did we look a threat at times and pass the ball around well? Yes Could they muster 2-3 passes at times? No I say we did. The game was pretty even in that first half, yes we were comfortable but so were they and to say we out played them is a fuckin joke tbh, we scored a deflected goal. Realistically I can only see us getting 9 points from the remaining fixtures and that is being generous so fuck knows where that leaves us.

I didnt think we out played Villa for the first 45 mins today.

Totally shite story trying to stirr up trouble yet again.

Just looking at those first few pics from Shearers testimonial, it is clear to see that the ground would look ten times better if we had black and white seats all round. whomever thought fcuking grey seats was the way to go wants shooting imo.

I cant believe that a professional footballer who gets paid thousands upon thousands each week has no idea how to strike a ball on goal no matter what position he plays, his two attempts today where totally pathetic. Having said that, the rest of his game was ok.

Well, the PA people totally fcuked it up again, playing local hero at the END instead of the beginning, and playing the blaydon races over the fans while they were trying to get some atmosphere going.

Yep bring it back, I bet 90% of the players love it aswell. I remember years ago Woodgate said he loved the tune.

There has been tons and tons of negative comments on the phone ins, most of which from what I can gather are based solely on a hatred of us the newcastle fans and our 'delusions of grandeur'. There has also been fans of other clubs with positive comments but they are far outweighed by the negative imo. Anyone who really thinks Newcastle is just a 'run of the mill, average, mediocre club that has no business being among the front runners in the Premier League' is having a laugh imo.

What a cracking press conference i thought.

Des Hamillton and Ian Rush. Both are approaching their peak.

I know, but I hate the negativity in this thread. Or in this forum in general. Who knows, maybe Manure has an odd day or something. Have some faith.

Seems an amazing price for someone who was seemingly finished and floating around from Liverpool to Man City a couple of years ago.

The state of this forum in regards to it being so negative reflects the state of the club. Simple as. Agreed. No reason to kick off the same old arguments about Shepherd et al though. Yeah its boring but those sort of things are exactly the reason why they post negative things arent they? Maybe so. I thought the OP meant the general state of posts on here though. Always predicting the worst etc. I hate to sound sadistic but doesnt the worst invaribly seem to happen to us on the pitch?, and i believe that has had an effect on the fans (me included) and untill we see a major trophy hoisted aloft by a Newcastle captain I dont think that attitude will change unfortunately.

I am quite negative towards the club nowadays and without getting too deep, I for one am tired of us being mediocre and quite frankly a laughing stock. As a club we lunge from one calamity to the next and I am sick of seeing newspaper headlines the day after we scrape a replay by the skin of our teeth against lower league opposition reading "Taylor hails Toon battlers!" Players/Manger/Board/Club never seem to have the ambition of us fans, some may call those ambitions un-realistic, but I dont, why shouldnt we be challenging for trophies and beating the top teams on their own ground more than once in a blue moon?? I just have total apathy towards the club these days and football in general it feels like they want as much out of the fan as possible with nothing but mediocrity in return.

Verry impressed. To have the confidence to run almost the full length of the pitch with the ball a couple of times says everything for me. Good luck to him.

What a shitter, totally gutted tbh. We might aswell not bother turning up.

Best second, third, fourth and fifth touch? Ginola.

He does have vision if play is ahead of him, played a lovely ball down the channel for Zoggy yesterday, its just when he is closer to goal with players alongside him that he does not get his head up, but to some existent strikers have to be selfish and he does just want to score goals. I think he may be better if given a free role, where he can pop up allover the pitch. I agree. When he has the ball in the box and has come unstuck and has to back track he just cannot see players running in where he just has to lay it off for them to shoot. This happened on numerous occasions last night.

He has no awareness, vision or anticipation. Those are my biggest problems with him.

I share that same sentiment. Those people that boo are somewhat immature to be frank. Additionally, booing a player will just lower his confidence, and what help does it serve? Look at Bramble, he's scored an important goal for Wigan against Liverpool! and you know why he's been doing better for Wigan than Newcastle? My guess is.... the fans have lower expectations and less booing, resulting in him having more confidence on the pitch. So Newcastle fans who boo and rant unnecessarily, I seriously doubt you're doing anything good for the club that way... Regards, Ericz But is he really doing better for Wigan than he did at Newcastle? Thats open to debate.

I remember that, was that the year the Arkles was trashed and we were subsequently banned or was it the year some lass was out the back (the pissing place) giving handjobs to all and sundry in exchange for tickets??
