Teasy

Not compared to back then. Remember Derby when not only didn't we have a chance against them but we didn't even look like coming close to creating one? Remember game after game of ping pong Football with not a single string of passes? Even in the games where we did well (Chelsea ect) we did so by bullying them, not playing Football. As I said we're shit at the moment, no doubt about it, mostly because nobody seems able to motivate the players in the winnable games (Hull ect). But when the players can motivate themselves, against the big sides (Manure, Arsenal), we've played some decent stuff. Put it this way, at the moment overall we play crap Football. Back then we didn't even play Football, I'm not sure what it was but it wasn't Football.

And now? We're losing games, but you can't seriously compare us now to the team when Keegan came back in. That team found it difficult to string a single run of passes together in an entire game. It was THE worst Footballing experience of my life watching Newcastle games at that time, not only was our confidence through the floor but we seemed to have forgotten how to play any semblance of Football. At the moment we're lacking passion and motivation in key games, that's our problem, but we're not playing terrible Football and we're at least confident enough to have a go at teams when we're motivated enough. All Shearer needs to do is motivate the players in the more winnable games and we'll stay up. Not an easy task, but nothing like the task Keegan had on, all be it with a much longer time to do it.

No it wouldn't IMO. As you said there are only 8 games left, we needed an impact appointment and if anyone can have an instant impact on not just the club but the entire city its Shearer.

I don't think Shearer needs to do as much to get us winning as Keegan did. When Keegan came in we were an anti footballing travesty of a team.

Even more importantly Hughton will never be in charge again!

Balls of steel mate, can you imaging the bruise's on his wifes arse? Were as Hughton must have balls like soggy tea bags.

Its going to be interesting watching the swing in the relegationometer

He has won me over. Your in Ireland so are you talking to Duff? If that's not stereotyping, I don't know what is. Nah, not Nile Ranger. Don't want to say cause I don't want him facing any disciplinary measures or anything. Why would you think any player would know anything more about Ashleys motives then any of us anyway? Do you think Ashley tells the players, or the coaching staff ect why he does things?, of course he doesn't.

Remove the word only and he'd be partly right. Obviously he wants us the stay up so that's going to be the main reason behind it, getting fans on his side will also be part of it of course.

Our squad is not piss poor, its pretty clear that its been the situation with the management and the atmosphere around the club that's put us in this position. Obviously the players have been shit, but there's no way our squad of players should be in the relegation zone.

Cos he knows he could potentially do something about us dropping out of the premiership?? It's a month too late, if it happens. Could be setting himself up for a huge fall if we do go down. Ashley must really be desperate to win the fans back over. If it's true, I hope he can turn it around. I just don't have a good feeling about it at all. Well answer me this, would you rather have Kinnear, or Terry Venables? They've certainly waited much longer then they should have to appoint someone but its not too late, the international break is a good time to appoint a temporary boss to try to save us. He might not be proven but he's an incredibly strong character with far more passion for Newcastle United then anyone else we could have appointed. This is the kind of appointment that could lift the entire city never mind just the players. Also we're third bottom of the league with 8 games left so I don't see it as him setting himself up for a fall, he's got a mamoth task to keep us up. If he does he's an even bigger god, if he doesn't he was hired too late. Any move we make now or even a few games ago would be a desperate one, but at least this is a extremely positive desperate move

As horrible as that sounds I'd take it at the moment. Because I fear what will happen is we'll stick with Hughton, which almost assures our relegation.

Right yeah some people backed him as I said, maybe several at most. There was no need to make it sound like the place was a cauldron of people signing his praises and claiming Kinnear was the man to take us into the next decade. That never happened.

I didn't call you a name, I just described how your posting. There would have to be an argument to lose an argument, you don't offer any argument.

You've given me nothing to defend myself against, nothing to discuss really. Its like trying to have a discussion with a retarded version of NE5. Which gets pretty boring after the novelty wears off. Give me names, dates, quotes, something. Be slightly useful for fuck sake!

Nah this isn't fun anymore, your boring me with your NE5-ness I'll make it really really easy for you, who said Kinnear was the right man for the job going forward? You've got to know something that specific, last chance.

Ok how many's rammed full , you can tell me that right?

Yes obviously, who believed in his system of Wise ect, believed his management choice was the right one to take us forward long term and believed he had done the right thing in backing them ahead of Keegan in January? Not just one person either, rammed full was the term you used.

It never happened man, not a few months ago. When he first arrived yes, a year ago when Keegan was still here yes but not a few months ago, you sure your not loosing track of time in that padded cell?

What?, I've posted loads of times backing him on the state this clubs in financially, its hardly a surprise like if you've been paying attention.

Yeah you already said that like. They don't exist man, your a loony toon, its all in your head!

Dave didn't support the system and management structure only a few months ago. Common name them, you ain't got the guts!!!!! I've supported Ashley on the financial situation, I still do.

methinks thou dost protest too much. Me thinks though doth exaggerate too much

Nah yous are crazy, are you lot talking about one particularly fat person when you say rammed full like? In fact, lets make it easy, name 5 people who fully supported his system and management structure 3 months ago. I dare yas!

Er ok I'm just trying to be fair on the forum, I'm not going to agree with you that the forum was rammed full of Ashley supporters if it wasn't. Stop exaggerating!
