Carroll!!!!!!!!

Carroll, whilst a shit footballer, does make space for Owen to get the ball.

Ronaldo has passed his peak already.

It's mainly because technically we just have 3 strikers remaining after this season (Martins, Xisco, Carroll) and it is a good idea to resign him as a back up. Which actually means the club doesn't want to spend money in the coming summer for a new striker. Hurray.

Jonas the legend for newcastle. Go straight into hall of fame.

I think Jonas is rested. TBH he is our most important player to fight against relegation and he must be protected. I don't think it's too ridiculous for not playing him tonight.

A full time manager means higher compensation and higher cost for the new owner. Thespence, you really think we could have appoint a full time manager at that time? And there is top class manager that will take such a risky option? Back to 2007 summer, the first fault Ashley commit was not determined enough to sack Allardyce. Remember that?

The circumstance's different. I would have no problem to call for Souness head because at that time we still have a good squad despite have financial difficulties. Though to be honest I didn't expect it is so s*** that Ashley has to inject 200m to prevent liquidation. Imagine you are Kinnear, tell me how should you motivate the players. To fight hard for a club without future? For a chairman who's going to sell the club (and unlikely)? To listen to a temporary manager who will say bye within a month? The word "ungrateful" is that we should have no complaint for the work he has done. The situation was so bad that at that time we were widely tipped for relegation. Everyone thinks so. Kinnear, despite has some problems in his head, has done a miracle. That's it. Whether he is good enough for a permanent job "under a new owner" is another issue. But to claim that he has been s*** here and we "deserves" a better manager and better result? Sorry.

The point is that the "end of season" deal is meaningless. It is clear that the "new owner" will sack the temporary manager and bring in his own man. That's the main reason why a lot of them turn us down - they do have interest but the club is "on sale". Joe Kinnear, at that moment, is just a temporary manager for the "club selling" period, which is a month expected by Ashley. Again I couldn't imagine a one-month-only manager could lift us away from the relegation zone.

Zico has been fucking shit. Check his management record yourself. In Japan he is like Pele in Brazil but he still got sacked. You cannot imagine how bad he could be. Deschamps turned us down.

f***ing hell, we really deserve to get relegated this season because the supporters are nothing but s***. Use your brain, when Keegan's sacked, the club's put up on sale, everyone knows that Owen is going to leave, the club has simply no hope, no future, nothing left. We then have a very poor run under Hughton, we are in the relegation zone already. Imagine you are the players, what will you think? Did you guys still remember what's the atmosphere like at that moment? Do you understand it's f***ing difficult to get the players together to fight against relegation again? Especially for those new joiners like Jonas and Bassong, who should throught that they were brought into the club under wrong circumstances. The manager's left, the management is in chaos, the chairman is just non-existing, the coach is unreliable, the chairman is trying his best to sell the club DURING FINANCIAL TSUNAMI. Did you guys really understand how difficult the situation was at that moment? Did you really understand why so many managers turn us down? Everyone knows that this is nearly a mission impossible. Tell me how should you motivate the players, "Play better so that you can find a new club later?" FFS. Those who didn't realize Joe Kinnear has done a miracle needs their head checked. Or simply has their brain stuffed with s***.

I think that's a response towards Ashley's "taken the club off the market".

We should never cash in on Given. However, we should let him go to e.g. Arsenal as he really deserves some trophy in his career. We owe him tbh.

Taken off from the market doesn't mean he will invest in January. Probably a few bargain deal like Jonas or Bassong but I couldn't see him bring in other established player like Coloccini.

I would rather play him upfront rather than give a chance to Duff. Fact. Period. Till the end of the world.

I knw this usually applies to manager but.... SACK HIM NOW.

This. He has won quite a few headers and create chaos for Wigan defenders.

And now our back 4 would be Taylor - Cacapa - Coloccini - N'Zogbia. Wow. We won't get a win for at least 5 matches.

I think he should start ahead of Viduka tbh.

Jesus christ. Please terminate Butt and Duff's contract immediately. I couldn't believbe how can such shitty cunts exist in EPL. FFS.

What have we done to deserve this?

I miss Enrique more.

We need to pray. Eveyone knows a breakdown of either Jonas or Coloccini will be the end of our season.

I think the hype he got here is because he's playing like god during his time at Newcastle. Yes the period is short but it's probably his best string of performance in his career.

I do hope the bid got accepted. This is a very important transfer because I could see that will complete our defense line setup. Taylor probably will be cover for CB and RB while Sakho will be cover for CB and LB, with Enrique - Bassong - Coloccini - Beye be our starting lineup. What a dream.
