Football has really gone insane with the amount of money transferring hands I mean 93 fucking million pounds for Gareth Bale Jesus fucking Christ Puts it into perspective when clubs are in danger of folding for 350k (Dunfermline) It's ridiculous where is the parity in football.....It would be fantastic if we had some sort of collegiate system like American sports has then we wouldn't have the massive gulf between the haves and the have nots

have a word he was shite As much as people probably won't admit it...Warren Barton is the best right back we have had in last 20 years....

That argument doesn't stand up as every team is a decent owner and manager away from being a top 7 regular...Leeds hit the skids and had to scrap to survive very much like we would have to in the same circumstance all these clubs in the championship that have experienced top success since the 70s are a good owner and manager away from being a Swansea a west brim or Norwich etc....FFS Southampton were a league 1 club 4 years ago now they are spending 40m plus a season in the prem...blowing us out of the water..football can change so quickly Let's see where we are this time next year.. I very much doubt it will be as a premier league team

It's pretty clear at this point what's happening. I didn't want to admit it for a long time, but the goal is quite clearly to maintain PL status with spending as little as possible. The only hope is this eventually leads to Ashley selling the club. Unless he sells the club in the next 9months because after that we will lose our PL status

Yes ginola was great for the short period of time and Robert was fantastic...you can't compare Ben Arfa to them 2 as he's done fuck all to be in the same bracket For them 3 see about 20 that have been mediocre to shite

we haven't had a history of mass success with the French and most of the French lads I've seen in black and white over the last 20 years have a heart the size of a pea...you can mock the English lads but what they lack in technical ability they make up for in spirit and heart.. Remember the lion that was Stephane guivarch world cup winner that we all had high hopes for....Debuchy reminds me of this clown

Too right it was grim watching such superstars as Malcolm brown,Wayne fereday and the powerhouse striker that was tony Cunningham...then we all get excited at Micky Quinn. Very much like the mackems at this time we were fed on a diet of 2nd division dross

How is being part of what we achieved in the 90s going to make you have lowered expectations now? If you can remember those days - which I can, vividly - you just know we are a shadow of the club we were now, and we should be expecting far better, which we certainly would under a more ambitious and committed owner. I can remember the 90s very well and yes 93-98 was a purple patch for us but now we are just mediocre....other clubs have had purple patches recently far better than ours....Leeds, Forest even Ipswich these clubs all won major honours. The 90s as you describe we won fuck all yes the football was amazing and exciting to watch but ultimately we won nothing. It doesn't give us the divine right because we are NUFC to think we are any more deserving than their fans I've been watching us for 36 years merlin to answer your question previously so yes I've seen shite

You can just see in the body language of our lot at the start we are a beaten team. city come in all smiles bouncing and a lot more professional whereas we come in sluggish moping about and I mean look at the fucking state of Cisse as he comes in..We need a disciplinarian manager that should outlaw that shit...he's supposed to be our star striker representing the club and he comes in looking like he's just left some house party. And then he puts a shift in that should result in a fortnights wages being docked

We so desperately need a midfielder who sores goals at present we have less than half a dozen goals a season in our midfield It's shocking and easily the worst in the division by a mile on goals return

To stand any chance of staying up we need to change managers now...this is the guy who preceded over west hams worst run of defeats in 70 years I honestly think lose to west ham then knocked out of the cup by mighty morecambe. Then he should go

Best the utter weaklings can do either side of singing about Shola and Pardew. Cretins. Ron, man. Really think this fan rage is somewhat misplaced. I was looking at the screen tonight thinking "daft c***s" at those that paid money to go and watch that in the flesh, then I took a look in the mirror at someone who was sitting at home like a mug doing exactly the same. Only difference is Sky got my money instead of NUFC, which is just as bad if not worse. I don't think it is at all. The fans are refusing to fight for the club in supporting this nonsense. I can see where you're coming from but I think it's pity more than anger that I feel towards them. However, I've been where they are so I can appreciate why they still turn up. There are times when it's all you have, and for some people it's all they'll ever have, they live for it. I can't be mad with people for supporting the team, which is what most of them are doing at the end of the day. Fair point. I just wish people would see the big picture. Surely virtually nobody enjoys the rubbish we serve up at SJP and on the road these days. but what is the big picture? everyone stay's away? won't change anything not with the tv deal it would just mean further cost cuts and bring us no closer to anyone actually buying the club which is the big issue, no one wants to. Disagree - if Ashley is put into a position where he runs the risk of having to put money into the club because attendances were poor and nobody was buying merchandise, he would be out like a shot. In any case, his lack of investment in players will eventually lead to relegation and that will kill off his Sky golden goose. Last night's result is the first step along the way to possibly being relegated. Also don't agree that nobody wants to buy the club - they do, but they know what Ashley is like and they will wait until he is in a position where he cannot mess them about or hold them to ransom...Ashley isn't the only billionaire who thinks he is street-wise....as with everything else, there is always someone smarter/richer and they will come along eventually but it may take a while. Disagree, he'll hold out until the bitter end until he gets the price he wants. And frankly if you were rich why buy an expensive club like newcastle when you can buy a biggish championship club (eg Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday or go to League one Sheffield United or Wolves) for far far less put in some small amount of investment (compared to prem) get them up and boom prem tv package. Are you serious ? Leeds ? Sheff Utd? Wolves ? Since when did ANY of these clubs have the support potential - and actual - around the world that NUFC has ? Lets hope potential buyers know more about club potential than you seem to - don't argue by the way, because you'll start to look silly with that theory. We also have the infrastructure in place. Those clubs might be a lot cheaper to buy but then a lot of money would have to be spent on other things. what makes people think that we are a bigger club than Leeds are just because we are a division higher Leeds have had considerable more success than we have in the last 50-60 years

I honestly cannot see us being capable of beating anyone at the moment we don't have a winning mentality and any ability at all to create and score goals and pressurise teams west ham looked well drilled well organised against Cardiff.... And their physical side will bully our bunch of weak cowardly frenchies

Carrying on from last season....no creativity don't look like scoring...FFS we had 3 touches inside city's box last night even lower league teams have a shot on goal we had nothing Simple formula is don't score goals you go down and we don't look like scoring not scored for 3 games at home With this manager and setup I cannot see us beating anybody

Are we as bad as Palace and Hull on this showing miles worse

fucks sake Debuchy

Have we actually had a shot on goal Oh great we bring on sammy ameobi they bring on negredo........gulf is just ridiculous

Nice sub pards you fucking gonk

It's like when Drago assassinated creed

Fucking hell 4 of them queuing up to score

I'd be amazed if we don't get another red card here Let's have a sweepstake on when our first win comes.........I'll have January

He's tried shit like that before and got away with it.....the lad has the brains of a dead frog I fucking hate Taylor he's an impostor of a footballer I wouldn't shed a tear if he self imploded into a thousand pieces on the pitch

Taylor getting shown up for what he really is....... A fucking clueless plank

Is Cisse even actually bothered or is this some Muslim Wonga protest

Be interesting to see how many goals we have scored in our last 10 games
