George Bailey

Very impressive result against a side that could have been another one of those tricky opponents (they will nick points off the likes of Norwich and teams in and around us imo) This is all very accomplished and professional...where's the catch?!!!

Narrow defeat I fear. Just the sort of place we may come a cropper. 2-1

To be honest I think it's more that no one really gives a shit that they exist at all. Nowadays I don't even think about them. in the past I would always have a chuckle at them losing or take a kind of 'interest' in how they were doing etc. but now I honestly don't think about them at all. they are an absolute irrelevance as an entity and as a football club: and I think they are seen like this by huge parts of the media as well tbh. I think this is what eats the poor cunts up the most (sadly I have some family who are Mackem fans: despite coming from the depths of Northumberland), and they are always banging on about us. They know the merest minutia about what our club is doing, usually followed by an insane conspiracy theory, and how much they hate everything about the city of Newcastle etc They seem obsessed. Our indifference must drive them fucking potty.

Draw for me today. This lot have to be better than they have shown so far.

Lucky fucker. This has been pish, what a jammy fat twat!

Are Satka and Good still with us then? I thought they had both gone out on loan, the official site wasn't telling me owt as the links were dead (assume they actually aren't). Percentage wise we don't appear to have many development players that ever come through. Hope this is one area we vastly improve on under Rafa.

It was awful. Shelvey and Anita were s**** in particular. Mbemba was out muscled for their second like a school child. Ritchie is our best player by a country mile tries to create way more than anyone else. Hayden was average, Aarons was rubbish, kept running straight into his marker, Perez was out fought off the ball a few times and did nowt with it, lascelles was shaky as anyone I've ever seen play for us at centre back. Basically sounds like we're too f***ing soft for this level. It was noticeable against Fulham that we kept stopping thinking it was a Premier League ref. Need to wise up and quick. Yep. Not about 'quality' it's about attitude, application and awareness of the situation. We could learn one hell of a lot from the Olympic rowing and track cycling guys and girls, application and attitude cementing the undoubted talent. Never thought this would be 'easy' but in all honesty if anyone is gonna f*** it up it's NUFC we should not be surprised in the least.

Not whilst in the company of some of the shite on our current playing staff. Plus the lads got heart and seems genuinely committed unlike some of the crap.

It's all going far too well......when does the real NUFC reveal itself!

May be just the wake up call and reality check some of our 'more experienced players' need in all honesty.

Lascelles by a country mile from that list and realistically from our current crop of players. Only Krul as another option I could make a case for, the others are too spineless, too volatile, too prone to go hiding for days on end, or simply too shit to consider. Age isn't a barrier for me. The lad has heart and leadership. Our 'Terry' maybe...without being a complete cnut.

Bag of shite for the most part. Few good memories, but very few. Hope the lad is happy with his family around him. Now let's sign a real, winning mentality centre half.

Elliott

Bilic has been fantastic imo. Really interesting, insightful and not afraid to ruffle feathers. Lot of time for the bloke.

:lol: Apt. So apt.

Agree. Just hate the fact that these events, that the likes of us would go to , enjoy and have a ball at are utterly destroyed by people who aren't even arsed about the game of football. Fanzones scrapped for me would maybe help too, not fair but as you say nothing really is as it hits the real footy fans of everywhere, but we have to stop the risk of innocent bairns, women and blokes getting seriously hurt. Needs to be concerted effort by nations fans themselves to root out these arseholes as well. Just like the Tartan army did a few years back.

Zero tolerance. What would that mean for you? Bans for nations? Tickets only for games and no fanzones etc? Seems to be very well organised in parts and am I right in saying that many of these 'ultra' groups have official or semi official links to some clubs? (Locomotiv Moscow for instance). Need to root it out at that level.

Just awful scenes from a lot of different countries 'fans' This is gonna be an ugly tournament for this stuff by the looks of it. Organised groups from the eastern Bloc countries in particular, but the usual nutters from our lot and Germans etc. How the hell do we stop this?

Fowler is utter class.

April looks demanding!

FFs Just sing the thing fucking properly Love to hear abide with me sung. who are these rectangular arseholes.

Saw a fair bit of him when playing for Boro due to my mate being a smoggy and to be fair he impressed. Neat link up player and seemed to have a very good attitude and work rate/ethic.

numbers 6 and 66 if not taken, cheers

Still way above his level even if they were!

I hope we don't go for a Burton. Oh dear.
