We will be lucky to offload Duff let alone the other three. Unfortunately we are much more likely to see Butt, Nolan and Taylor as automatic starters next year for JFK, they will also be getting closer to the level of football the represent.

Two more shit players we will be lumbered with in the championship or lower over the next few years. I didnt think anyone could best Viduka for lack of pace and mobility, to think this guy was touted as the next Gerrard. Ryan Taylor is more interested in taking out players than playing football, the so called set piece specialist makes Geremi look like Ronaldo.

Second half was much better but the thread title says it all. Yet another team there to be taken and once we get past two or three passes (if we are lucky) we give the ball away or go backwards. We can't even start to create anything because we break ourselves down even when we arent under pressure. Passing, posession, tackles, marking, defending. You name it when it comes to basic footballing necessities and we manage to add sloppy infront of any of it.

Catch them in a black and white shirt whilst you can. To be fair, most of them dont deserve to wear it.

I reckon the players have to take a little... Formation yet again didnt work, in fact did the opposite. Players were utter dross though.

not likely, he will be out at least another week or two with his groin after this game.

Can't pass, can't control, can't close down, can't create, can't shoot, can't defend, can get relegated.

we deserve to go down, we are really terrible.

5-0 spurs, they are playing well and will finally bury the newcastle demons and send us down in the process. Ryan Taylor to get sent off for good measure aswell.

Thought Ryan Taylor had been taking acting lessons from Saylor, pathetic today, more interested in putting a foot in than using what little there is of his brain.

Butt is awful man. There's no point in having a DM if they're just going to give the ball away. It defeats the purpose. Sad thing is we all know that, but we've no one better...... It really is that desperate. Im wondering whether we should give cacapa another go at DM, atleast he cant cock it up in defence then Colo would be better than Butt in DM, this is Shearer's true test. Colo put in one of the worst performances I have ever seen when we started him in DM earlier in the season. Blind faith if you think that will work, he is weak as piss and shits himself when anyone challenges him, its too busy for him there, you could probably apply that to the premier league and colo in general.

Sad thing is, he will be a constant feature in our championship side next season. He will never leave this club.

Barton Guthrie is the ideal partnership, til it happens and it looks no better! I think Butt is too "experienced" to be dropped right now in anyones eyes within the game. If anyone gets dropped it will be Nolan, like many have highlighted, he didnt do that much wrong but did the same right, despite all our hopes I think Shearer is likely to be more loyall to Butt aswell. It might be touch and go that either Barton or Guthrie are fit enough to play next weekend anyway.

Faye and Bassong would have been an excellent partnership this year! He could have also done a great job in DM aswell. One of the worst transfers I can remember. Granted we should have had strenth in depth, who would expect a "top class manager" to see that one was way past his prime, two were championship standard, one was dodgy as fuck and needed time to adapt to the premier league, then the one he didnt like would be the best player in our team this season.

On the up side if its SBR, he might start put Nile Ranger down on the team sheet thinking he is Shola... On the downside maybe he did vice versa today

Please dont play Ameobi, Butt, Edgar or Ryan Taylor again this season. Pray Barton is back in and in some kind of match fit state very soon. Lets also hope Guthrie isnt out for an extended period either. Martins and Carrol to start up front next game and we are back to 4-4-2.

UTTER RUBBISH no recovery from this.

Nicky Butt is UTTER GASH

More spectacular implosion than Leeds! Cant say it hasnt been coming for years though. Dont see anyway back into this game. Cant see us beating anyone else this season either.

"didnt allow himself to be bullied by Michael Owen." Surely thats like being beaten up by an infant. Nothing going our way at the moment, then on top of that, weak as piss defence and attack, cant mark, cant pass. Need a fucking miracle, infact we need three or four.

Cometh the hour, cometh the Ranger!

five points to be fair!

regardless of the corner which should have never have been given, joke of a defence. Deserved to conceed.

Few eyebrows raised with the starting line up! Looks like a team of players that will work their asses off. (bar shola) we shall see. Probably the slowest side in the premier or championship with Edgar and Stoller added to Butt and Nolan
