The stuff is vetted before it gets aired, they might say it's live but it's not. So they just play all the ones that said what they want and don't play anyone intelligent.

Sven had more cash to spend and we sold two of our creative players and didn't replace thm. Sven had a year off to scout the players he brought in. Not a valid argument imo, Sam would have had his list of players he was keeping tabs on; and by all accounts (well one anyway) Eriksson just phoned a super-agent and asked who can we get. Sven had a year off to scout the players he brought in.

Aye, I bet binning yet another manager halfway through a season will make us dead attractive to the world's best managers. We aren't attractive anyway. Bullshit. With the exception of money, what makes this club attractive? Its warm-hearted fans?

Played well, u reckon? I'm gauging that by the amount of positive comments in this thread from the first half and prior to the second goal. Fair few said playing better to some downright positive enthusiasm.

So being happy (ier) if they played well and lost is just a myth then?

I just spent ages trying. And failing. The Town Moor is massive and vastly underused, 50 acres gone in one corner wouldn't be missed. There would still be an outcry from dutifully concerned local residents that stay miles away and live for just such an opportunity. http://i16.tinypic.com/86hhlld.jpg

I don't think a striker is a priority atm, even though I could think of a negative or two about each who currently holds that position; if they don't get good service they won't score so many. It's creativity in midfield we lack, that and a consistent team/gameplan would see considerable changes in fortune in quite a short period of time. (Better add the obligatory imo.)

Ashley: Drink? SA: Sure.. Ashley: What about Dom Perignon SA: You have a scout report?

The thing that's beginning to get to me a bit is that all these quoted observers who criticize the fans for their expectations have all got the wrong end of the stick as to why the fans are unhappy. Why is there no-one to speak for us and put the matter in it's proper context. It's not immediate success we crave and lambast the mananger for the lack of. It's the style of goddamn play, we're like a championship side just promoted and trying to survive out first season, content to regard a finishing position above the relegation zone as a good result for the season.

brilliant Except it's not an anagram. Only one N in Michael Owen.

Bit like yourself then He's actually one of the better writers there are, and a canny bloke as well. He is and I don't doubt he's a canny bloke but it's kind of hard to agree with someone when you know they're coming at something with an agenda, i.e. something to sell and a personal dislike of the manager that stems back years. Not saying he's not entitled to have his say or that he's wrong in what he says as he obviously speaks for a large number who share his views, but I prefer to see balanced and unbiased views, especially from fellow Mags in the national media. All he's doing is adding to the hyperbole in my opinion. What fan of Newcastle, including you, can write with a balanced and inbiased view of a subject close to their heart? We are shaped by our beliefs and coloured by our opinions. It will be inherent in anything you write however much you care to believe otherwise. Only if you know you can withdraw to a mighty distance and view things in a detatched fashion can you argue otherwise.

Doesn't have to be a player.

HTT: If we don't now sign him, this to me suggests the board aren't backing the manager meaning he'll be gone pretty soon. You're kidding, right?

Can't believe he's really sure he's speaking for everyone else.

Owen, shows commitment and passion all the time.... for his horses.

I think you've got your answer HTT, the general consensus seems to be plain enough. Sam could win us over by putting out a team that is clearly trying to win games by outscoring the opposition.

I'm going to repeat what others have already said but I believe it needs repeating a hundred times so that it is finally listened to and understood. It's not the fact we lose but the manner in which we lose that is wearing out the patience fast.

Lose his stubborn streak and concede that setting out to nullify your opponent should come second to trying to score against them. At the moment he seems to be hoping to capitalize on something whilst keeping a clean sheet. Communication would be nice too, he seemed to talk sense every time he opened his mouth at the beginning but increasingly it's all defensive twaddle. If we knew what he was trying to do we'd be far more understanding and patient. We might even understand what he says, we're not all the same as the Sky version of us.

Watching Youtube clips he looks all right, but of course that's just 5 minutes of football showing the times where he got it right.

What you guys doing in S. Korea? Can you get me a job there?

My Dad (not at all tongue in cheek), said "fuck the lot of them, I can't be arsed with that club anymore" My Dad (tongue down his throat) has just choked to death, club's finally done him in.

Barton reminds me of an out of control car careering downhill and lurching from one accident to the next. Unfortunately this club pays the insurance and is liable for all the damage.
