James

That's the slowest midfield and attack I've seen in years, and Zoggy and Taylor as fullbacks?! Fucking hell, lets hope Carlos Edwards isn't 100% because he'll murder N'Zogbia if he is. 3-4-3 Is this something you know, or a guess?

No orange bibs in today's training pictures.

OMG, Owen has just admitted that he isn't great!!!!!!11! http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1164072,00.html

I'd love to see Mike Ashley do a pitch invasion.

Where are you hearing that?

Another one, easier, even though its older: http://www.skysports.com/fun_games/missingmen/0,20922,,00.html

Mike Ashley is going to be in the away end tommorrow.

I will love him because it will be an own goal.

I couldn't spell the 9 striker, and was confused with the full back positioning.

Difficult relevant one today: http://www.skysports.com/fun_games/missingmen/0,20922,,00.html

I can. I sometimes think it's the club's Achilles Heel - the inability of fans to see the bigger picture and exhibit patience and support for what is clearly going to be a longer term rebuilding project. As Mort said, chopping and changing has got us absolutely nowhere. Sam said when he was appointed that there would be tough times ahead. Deep down when I heard him saying that I knew there'd be a section of the fanbase who would object to that instantly. What Mort should have said is, chopping and changing and making the wrong choice of manager has got us nowhere. Man City went through exactly the same process as us in the summer, new owner, new manager, and new players. The excuse that we did not have time to buy the players Allardyce wanted because the new owner/chairman wasn't up to speed, doesn't exactly fill me with confidence in the new chairman/owner. The truth is Man City have chopped and changed managers as much as us, but they made the right choice in Sven, a proven big club manager with quality trophies in his CV, whilst we yet again went for the cheap option of giving a "wannabe" a chance at the big time. As for those who say we will buy the players we need to turn the side around in the Jan window, we know from past experience that clubs just don't sell their best players then, so I would advise you all not to hold your breath waiting for quality signings because it just isn't going to happen. As for being patient, as a long suffering supporter and former season ticket holder when we were really really sh*t, isn't 40 years long enough to start expecting better! Manchester City already had a good settled spine to their team to build from. We didn't unfortunately. no they didn't they had a centre half (their captain), micah richards and a couple of young keepers. we had the debt and the missmanagement though. Dunne, Richards, Johnson, Hamann, Ireland and Mpenza is their spine at the moment, and its the same spine they had for much of last season.

FFS its Christmas lights, and red and white is a popular Christmas colour scheme. What next? I know, Santa wears red and white, lets run him oot of toon on Christmas Eve.

It was meant to be a joke. Sorry that it wasn't very funny.

I don't think anyone would argue that Allardyce should stay regardless of results or performances. Roeder's team had showed no progress since he took over, hell, it went backwards from the initial 2-0 win over Pompey, which is why he was rightly sacked (or resigned - whatever). If Allardyce's team shows an improvement in performance, or shows some sort of direction, then I'm willing to trust him and give him a couple of seasons. If, of course, the team's regressed and still direction-less like it was when he was appointed, then he's got to go in time. Using that reasoning, the fact that we are currently worse than the first 45 mins away at Bolton means that Allardyce deserves to be sacked.

I'd have thought he'd done ok given expectations. They were always going to be in another dogfight. Poor decision.

Had to cringe just before kick off when he came onto the pitch and did a Delia.

We were match choice for Football First!!!

Or he could just tell some other media source. Doesn't get the same public coverage. He has a duty to protect his player tonight. Pearson speaks to the BBC doesn't he? Not the same coming from an assistant. Likely to be ignored just so Hansen and Lawrenson can rip into Cacapa if it comes from anyone less than Allardyce.

I take it you've just got back from the match. we havent played well at home this season and have been found out by the first half decent team Dont know what thats gotto do with me, I'm not being sarcastic, just asking a genuine question given that Mick has a season ticket.

I take it you've just got back from the match.

To be fair, it could have been 5-4 if James hadn't pulled off some good saves.

Fuck
