Big Geordie

Point is at least they are doing something. Ashley's said he wants to sell the club, but there's no guarantee that will happen at all. We could very well be still in limbo come January, with the likes of Owen (and others) moved out of the club by Dennis Wise. That can be the only reason why the poison dwarf is still in a job, unless someone can tell me otherwise.

Still so many folk willing to stick the boot in without being prepared to do anything themselves.

It happened it England v Turkey - I remember that. That was also the game with racist chanting against the Turks. Slaven was actually very fair tonight - called it as he saw it and has to be applauded for that IMO.

It's all just bollocks from the mackems to be honest. No way at all they can defend themselves over this.

Yup - heard that too. Some mackems are actually more-a-less saying that Barton was asking for trouble by warming up infront of them! One even refused to answer which was worse - throwing bottles/coins or kissing the badge. Unbelievable.

I remember that - also remember Cloughie giving a Forest fan a clip around the ear, when their was a pitch invasion at Forest. Legend.

That's pretty bad - whatever happened to local media being unbiased one way or the other?

Don't have a problem with what Barton did - and I'd guess it was probably in response to being pelted with coins and bottles. As with Rooney - not thinking with his head (as usual) - lack of respect for the club who did so much for him.

I'd have thought it would be Northumbria?

Oh - didn't realise he's blind. Am sure he'll be first caller on Monday, songs at the ready.

Just reading some of his patter on the mackems site. I recognise him as he's a regular on the 3 Legends and Radio Newcastle phone-ins. Sounds like a bit of a cock when he's on there, and his online craic isn't much better.

Redknapp is a whore and another example of there being no loyalty in football anymore.

Spurs not hanging about - brilliant stuff.

Poyet to end up here, 'helping' JK - brought in by his old mate, Wise. Heard it here first.

Was expecting Commoli to go - thought Ramos would stay on longer.

Pathetic. Seconded. Sadly it's all some folk seem to go to matches for.

I've seen worse NUFC sides - no question. What disappointed me today was that some of our players just didn't seem up for it. Not good enough in that respect. I'd have thought JK would have had them fired up. :-/

Bloody hell - fair play to them. Puts our lot to shame.

Of course that's unacceptable - no problem with you saying that.

Sky didn't show what went on with Barton when he was warming up. Makes you wonder if that's why JK didn't put him on earlier. Also - way to go for saying it's ok to rip up seats and chuck them on the pitch. Unacceptable, IMO.

What about the seats I could see being thrown onto the pitch from our lot? Takes two to tango.

It's never easy, but just have to take it on the chin and get on with it.

The bit in bold should never be acceptable in a Tyne/Wear derby. NEVER. Of course - but it was evident on the pitch.

Again - no complaints here - best team won. Just disappointing that they clearly wanted it more. The uncertainty that surrounds this club at the moment, is doing no-one any good at all. The situation needs resolving and quickly. Thought Shola did well today - held the ball up well and took his goal well. Everyone else - pretty disappointing, with Geremi and Duff both the worst by far.

Billy Whitehurst was probably the hardest man on and off the field, in the last 25 years.
