Big Geordie

As I said in the other thread, it would be too much of a risk to leave Calderwood and Hughton in charge to see out the season. We need an experienced man in pretty soon, even if it is just to see us through to the summer.

Again, I wish Joe all the best. Suspect he won't be returning to the club though. His health is too important to risk. Forgot to add that leaving Calderwood(!) and Hughton in charge for the rest of the season is asking for trouble. Need an experienced man in, and sharpish.

Interesting to read the comments from Derek - but remember lads that the club has indulged in plenty of smoke and mirrors since last summer - these interviews will be no different IMO. There is a saying that 'it's best to hide a lie between two truths' - up for you's to decide as to whether he is being honest or not. I remain sceptical and urge caution when taking these answers as fact.

Article doesn't surprise me in the least - but if it means that Bennett doesn't take charge of our games anymore, then so be it.

Is that the first time Lambias has spoken?!

Radio Newcastle reckon Martins didn't even travel for today's game.

Makes a lot better reading than it did at 2:59pm!

If we end up game of the day on Sky - am gonna Sky+ it.

Christ - thank f**k for that. Excellent win, but boy do they make us sweat!

Howay lads - hang on. A minute to go.

3mins added on time.

Xisco coming on.

How long left?

Luke Moore on for Valero. Mowbray going for it.

Lovenkrands volleys wide. Been our best player today?

Good scoreline for us. Stoke more of a concern now then the mackems.

Viduka coming on - Shola off.

So typical of us this - our arses have dropped. I know confidence is low, but still?! Shola off - Viduka on - at least to hold the ball up, upfront.

3-2 now - Fortune. Here we go.

Why? We're 2 goals in the clear and they're not exactly running us over atm.. Fresh legs? Either Smith or Viduka should be able to hold the ball up better then Shola.

I'd be tempted to bring on Smith or Viduka for Ameobi - just to shake things up a bit.

Sitting back here would be a huge mistake - got to keep it tight at the back, yet keep having a go forwards.

Did anyone see this coming today? Christ almighty. If we don't win this, we want shot. Got to see the game out now.

Steven Taylor!! 3-1!!!

This is gonna end up 5-5. Anyone remember the QPR game during the mid 80's?
