The problem Taylor has is his distribution, not his defense.

Spell your player's name correctly before calling Rafa out, please.

True, but the reason why they give up local lads is because they aren't good enough. It's like picking up gems from recognized shits.

He is in the best 11.

Just this season. Not bashing Given though, just wanna point out Krul has too many injuries---his shoulders seems too weak for a professional goalkeeper.

don't see how you come to either of those conclusions. When Keegan signed Soderberg he did mention Given and Harper but not Krul---just like he even don't know Krul is belonged to Newcastle. Check Krul's injury record---it is even more terrible than Given's.

You really believe this quote? Ashley admits that he "just want to give SA a little chance, and if things aren't going well then sack him". And is SA stupid enough to criticize the new boss just a few months after starting his job? You can believe that, I won't. It's purely nonsense as Ashley is a businessman---he won't make such silly mistakes. Ashley should make his mind up regarding SA's future rather than "give him a try, just a try". What sort of thinking is this?

Err...no, I'm not defending, I just find SA's quote interesting. What he said is like he was "cheated" to Newcastle. To be fair if what Mort said is true, Freddy is correct to bring in SA because we must sold some players and bought in a few cheaps in order to survive. And if this is the case, I don't think SA is required to play sexy football originally. And after the acquisition, SA was given a few million pounds (the net spending) to strengthen the squad and now because he was no longer under pressure to sell players, everyone in the club demands attacking football while actually the players are nearly the same. No matter how s*** Barton and Smith were, you couldn't deny they are at the same level with Parker and Ameobi. The squad wasn't improved a lot, Owen and Duff were not available, Given was simply f***** off. There are too much negatives within the squad even after Ashley's acquisition and if we consider what SA did with those few million pounds I didn't think it's that bad. Faye, Beye and Enrique definitely has a future and our defense no longer need critical improvement (Given perhaps). What you can really criticize is his inability to bring in players like Okocha (lots of luck is required) and build up attacking plays. But to be fair SA is get used to defensive tactics so why criticize him for that? It is not Freddy's fault either to employ SA under that circumstances. The whole mess is not purely their fault. It's the timing of acquisition, the decision to retain SA by Ashley WITH NOT MUCH FINANCIAL BACKUP, and the timing of sacking that caused us so much troubles. People are backing Kev by saying major investment is required as the players are too s***---this should applied to SA also right? I am very disappointed by Kev's appointment because he is not the right one, but anyway, even though Ashley has helped us a lot in clearing the debt, he is the one who should bear the responsibility for this mess. One point SA is right---the more we analyzed, the more we think failure is a must. It's no longer the problem of ability, but the strange situation.

Barton is a gamble, Enrique shows he could made it in the EPL while Smith is plain shit---but Ashley's shirt and the captaincy seems to show it's his personal favour rather than Sam's. Not backing SA but together with Beye and Faye, are his signings really that bad?

Just a question, so should we demand excellent players, attacking football together with decent result under Allardyce under these circumstances?

Honestly I wonder how Given can be injured by that deflected shot. My choice would be Krul but seems like Keegan doesn't rate him, and he is too injury prone as well.

We don't need this amount of money. If we need that 5m to buy Barnes then we are finished. You won't disagree with this right? And the problem is our management don't think Barnes worths that 5m. The end of story. You are suggesting we should get rid of Milner first because we can bring in a better one, while what I think is that we are extremely unlikely to bring in a player better than Milner. The best case is already Barnes who is also a gamble and this won't satisfy the fans here ah? After Keegan's poor January transfer window everyone is thinking "we will use 30-40m to build our dream factory this summer" and it ends up another gamble. Actually it's really a "dream factory"---you should also understand the chance of getting in the right players is extremely low, especially after such a pathetic season. To be honest if I am Keegan I will try to dig some gems from South America as there are plenty of good wingers, but he is now going for "premiership proven" players. Suggest someone who is willing to come and better than Milner please. I hope it isn't Routledge. N'Zogbia doesn't deserve to rot in Newcastle---He should play for Arsenal. I wonder how can you interpret this as "Milner is better".

"Relegation pressure" is never one of the reasons behind his sacking.

5m? 10m? And WTF we have to measure it financially when we aren't under financial pressure? We are not lack of money---we just aren't able to attract players, and probably end of another few 60k ppw silly signings. His contribution has been Nil? Suggest a players other than N'Zogbia and Beye who contributes more than Milner, please. Rely on who then? Just go on. I simply don't understand WTF is Milner "the first one out of the door". Players like Quaresma simply don't give a damn towards our offer and we even don't wanna pay a few m for Barnes. We didn't go to South America to search Solano the 2nd and players like Young were regarded as a joke here a year ago. Tell me WTF is the rationale behind "Milner the first one out of door".

Enrique has serious positioning problems during offside trap.

According to the fans Milner out and we can become better.

The painful truth is while Milner isn't up to "your" standard he is already the best option WE HAVE AND WE MAY HAVE. Out of the door? Ask Keegan to find a player WHO IS WILLING TO COME AND BETTER THAN MILNER. Mind you two weeks after his "dream factory declaration" he conceded that he couldn't find anyone who can really improves the team and forced to sign a few 17-18 years old. Wake up FFS. The first one out of the door?

Football is something more than "attributes". A team of 11 Ronaldinho will never win anything. If your understanding of Milner is just "no pace nor technique to cross a ball" then fuck off. Even a shit manager will be able to tell why Milner plays a lot better than Duff today. And again, WTF are you talking about "no tricks"? Milner is technically the best in our squad apart from Emre FFS. It's easy to bash Milner by suggesting N'Zogbia is a lot better while the truth is everyone knows N'Zogbia doesn't deserve to rot in Newcastle while another Irish winger is just a pile of shit. Under this circumstances Milner is "the first out of the door"? Jesus Christ, have mercy on your head.

I never think of relegation under Allardyce. Now I think we really have a battle.

I am 100% sure we will get relegated this season if we offloaded Milner. Wake up please.

We only plays like a team when Milner's involved.

....I really wonder whether Keegan "just" need money to change the team.....or even if he got the money he'll still fail.

....so is Given injured?

To be honest I prefer signing Japanese players rather than Korean. We need some players who are technically gifted but not physically gifted.
