James

At the moment, he seems to be learning and responding to what he's seen happen on the pitch, unlike say Allardyce who made the same mistakes over and over again. I'd give him until the end of the season, but I'm not sure I'd want to see him taking control of transfers.

Wrong season Unbelievable...

I'd get off the bottom of the league where you've been for the whole first quarter of the season before you start talking Jol.

Does that mean it was the police what dunnit?

Unfair on our current/future managers.

Although some people laugh at some of the supposedly senile comments that Robson has made, surely I am not the only person who thinks that they are rather clever, and testament to the man's enthusiasm?

If the club were in favour of this permanent banner, I reckon they'd commission their own. Probably sponsored by Adidas.

Yeah, but Setanta, BBC and the rags won't draw attention to fact. They like to attack Newcastle. Unfairly, preferably...... And of course a team at the bottom of the league, SHOULD have a far higher attendance than a team in the Champs League and topping the Prem... The BBC and the rags should interview you James....they'd LOVE you. From what I can see, some NUFC fans seem to think it as bragging rights that NUFC are beating Liverpool on attendances, when in fact due to stadium capacities, it is completely irrelevant.

Really don't get this argument: Liverpool are selling out their home allocation, which happens to be less than who go to Newcastle who have a bigger stadium. Hardly bragging rights, especially as Liverpool give attendances based on people at the game whereas we apparently do it on tickets sold.

Why would Given want to go from 14th place Newcastle to rock bottom Tottenham?

Carew despite his height and obvious physical appearance isn't quite the straight forward centre-forward you'd imagine. He's a very good player technically and has a bit of variety to his game so while you think height = good in the air, and huge frame = strong as fuck it doesn't always mean you're guaranteed to get this from him at all times or indeed such a proposition from these centre-forwards. I actually enjoyed their tussle tonight as Carew was also looking to suss out Coloccini but thankfully and this is down to our lad, to no avail. How do you handle a technically proficient, mobile and physical centre-forward in good form? There is no text book solution really, you deal with it on the day in your own way and that's what Coloccini did - expertly in his own style. All of which Colo should know from playing against him before. I'm not slating Colo, he's been mostly good apart from a couple of adaptability issues, but people are over analysing him in my opinion.

He's played against Carew several times, and Carew has always been an aerial/technical threat.

Colo shouldn't have needed to 'learn' Carew tbf.

Oh shit, decky has jumped the gun again

We've doubled our points in less than a week.

If Keegan's last action was to do his utmost to block Barton's transfer to Portsmouth, he did us a massive favour...

Brilliant. Love Jonas.

Love it on matchday when Decky jumps the gun with a new thread having a go at something and turning out to be wrong. It is like a lucky charm. Keep it up Deckster

The triangle on the back of his neck

Has anyone seen his FM2009 stats? Not very good

I hope that you and the other lads can take the NUSC forward as we need a supporters club, only time will tell but I hope that it can move on from its starting position. For all I say, I pretty much agree with Mick's sentiments, the club does need a Supporters Club, and for me, such an organisation needs to put support for the shirt and the players in that shirt at the top of all agendas, and as of so far, NUSC has failed to communicate such an agenda. I apologise if I make incorrect assumptions of what has taken place at these meetings, but I only get the benefit of vague third hand overviews. Perhaps NUSC can appreciate that if people are making criticisms relating to things they don't know about it, perhaps NUSC can realise that the same applies for criticisms levelled at Ashley, and Shepherd before him. NUFC may not be able to explain themselves for privacy and legal reasons, but the same barriers for NUSC do not exist. Tell us what is being said at every meeting by publishing the minutes online. I would love to attend one of these meetings if I wasn't prevented from getting there, and contrary to what BooBoo says, I would love to voice my opinion if invited to speak, as I simply don't see the point of anyone going to such public meetings if they aren't going to interact.

Brilliant.

Just for the record, previously 121 said no, 33 said yes, 154 votes in total.

Yes there is, its out of date, the view now could be 50/50 or for that matter it could be 100% against. The whole thing Im talking about is ensuring upto date views. Polls can be easily reset, there I've just done it. I'm starting to get the impression that you and the lovely people at NUSC will only take note of such polls if it suits your arguments.

So you dont want my money? thats fine, then heres the alternative. You get to go to the next meeting without joining and take part in everything other than votes, yet again though I expect you to put forward your views and again, report back on here about it. Im willing to be though that you wont take me up on it. Ive called your bluff and you dont have the bottle to turn up and see you're wrong. You also dont have any interest in actually doing anything for NUFC. Im not saying you dont support the club or love it anymore than the next fan but what I am saying is that you are an old man who likes to be an internet warrior. Shouting out about stuff in the relative privacy of the internet while sitting quietly nodding agreement with those in the pub "Oh aye Ashleys a shite man aye" when you have a half of stout in your hand while taking the alternative "look at me Im all different" view on here. My betting is though that once theres something in it for you such as reductions on stuff in shops or getting to go to the talk ins with old players and such then you'll quietly sign up, get your all important membership card yet still slag it off on here. And thats the bit that will sadden me "I'll take what I can get but Im not willing to do anything for it" attitude. I've put forward all the things that will be in place to allow your voice to be heard and to ensure that the actual views of the fans are registered. Im guessing that you however are scared to take part in those things because deep down you know that when you do your myth about "the majority of fans" will be blown out of the water. Look at the above poll. No ambiguity there is there? You need to start proving that you are speaking for the fans rather than mouthing off at people whose views do not suit your agenda.
