Load of guff that. They lost to Chelsea at home and drew with a team in brilliance form away on the back of a crazy amount of wins. They lost to Chelsea by piling forward and being stupid in a game they didn't even need to win. A draw there and they only need to win tonight instead of needing to go suicidal to try and correct the GD. They were far too desperate to show Chelsea that the mighty Liverpool were back and fell right into the trap.

They've bottled this far in excess of how we did in '96. Man United chased us down like a rabid dog, this mob have just chucked it away through their own naivety. Fucking mint. Having said that, still don't trust City that much.

Suarez :lol: Funniesr thing I've ever seen on a football pitch.

Pardew scribbling in his notes: Ways to beat Liverpool: tell the big black bloke to run really fast past everyone. "Excellent, that's what I normally do! Knew I had it."

What's that song they're singing that every club other than us seems to sing now?

"it's a massive club, one of the top five in the country I'd suggest." He soon dropped that line.

At times like this when everyone has fury in their fingertips and wants to tell the world about it, it would be easy. In reality, when you're back to normal and having to chase people to write match reports for a Carling Cup game, it was more trouble than it was worth.

They did the same with Perch last year. I wouldn't read too much into it.

No.

Holloway resigned this season.

tmonkey was not so much on my bus as in my taxi on the day we signed Michael Owen, agreeing that it was a catastrophic decision that would hurt us for years to come. He's a sensible lad.

If they are still in with a title chance (i.e. they beat Palace) and score early, it will be a massacre. To the betting thread!

Went for a meal with my parents tonight. My dad (not a Newcastle fan) said that I was ridiculous for walking out and that we had a very good manager. When I was a kid, it was my Grandad (my mam's dad) who got me into Newcastle and that I should ignore my dad because he didn't know anything about football. He was so right, but then I've known that for years. He regularly used to ring the Chronicle and demand to speak to Alan Oliver over some fawning article he'd written.

It's times like this when you realise how astonishingly little some people know about football.

What if Pardew was black though, what then?

We could literally lose every game, win the last one and thousands would stay and applaud with a big grin on their face.

Attractive. Could have at least tried to argue something vaguely plausible. I've never seen anything worse and I've watched an Allardyce team.

That'll be because of the scummy fans who walk out on their own team.

What were the other things you brought up?

Some of the comments :anguish: :anguish: Not enough in all of the world. Those comments are horrific. Those people are actually allowed to breed. Why does it always come down to HT food? What the fucks wrong with our fans man? Its your personal choice if you stuff your face with overpriced burgers instead of surviving 2 hours without them, thats not an excuse for staying ffs I watched a bloke who works in the same building as me come up the stairs at about 25 to 3 and not even break stride in going straight to the kiosk and getting a burger. I just thought it was extraordinary. Even moreso was the people in that ground at that time with a pint in their hand (I usually don't arrive until about 2 minutes to 3). Do these people not know there's these things called "pubs" within five minutes walk of the place?

You'd be hard pushed to make a case that their success this season is down to that. They've got good players and a manager that has wrung the absolute best out of all of them. Clubs like ours (and the Premier League in general) want you to think it's all about money but it isn't. Of course it helps but there's nothing (other than fear and defeatism) to stop a club like Newcastle doing what Atletico Madrid have done over the last three years - both are a very similar size in terms of stadium and revenue. Get the right manager and go from there. Bang on. Rodgers has them playing very well. And that's it. Why can't we appoint a manager capable of implementing a style of football & some belief from the players consistently? Yep, it can be done. It is difficult but that's part of the fun of it. It's meant to be, it's elite sport. I can accept "that's going to be incredibly fucking hard but we can try and there's a good chance we'll fail, but then we'll go again" What I can never accept is "blimey that's hard, let's not bother eh?" And nor should anyone else, no matter what team they support.

The amount of people going "Clark should be the next Toon boss, he's got the passion!!!" ffs. Personally I really wish he'd shown the credentials to be Newcastle manager but no home wins between November and May? Think I'll pass on the passion if it's all the same.
