Hmm, I thought that Geremi was promising to begin with so all the more disappointing. Enrique, one for the future surely...?! No, not one for the future - if he was, we have NO LEFT BACK. I understand you have your agenda and that is very clear from your signature However i must tell you that you are WRONG Cacapa as much a liability as Bramble Enrique a waste of money, can't wait to throw that one back at you next season Sir Alex wanted to keep Smith but couldnt guarantee him starting, so is Sir Alex suddenly a bad judge Viduka was Free, his premiership record warranted us going for him How do you know Barton will be a £6 million write off has Mort told you what he intends to do You sir are probably one of the fans who left after the 2nd goal still waiting for the 2nd coming of Keegan. Erm,what the f*** are you talking about? I didn't make that original post. Oh, and while i'm still on - you know f*** all about what SAF wanted, you have just read something in the press, and believed it, well done. Mate, i GO to the games, i WATCH the players - and Smith is s****. As for Viduka, he's fat and lazy, like WE USED TO CALL HIM FOR WHEN HE WAS AT THE BEASTS. Oh, and Cacapa has been poor. He got away with some very bad errors last night, it could have been aother Portsmouth for him. No but i can imagine you nodding your head vigorously in appreciation of a fellow doom monger SAF left it up to Smith he is quoted United boss Fergie said: Alans been a fantastic character in the dressing room and a very important player for us since he came here. I was very sad to see him go in many ways. There are few characters as big as him in this country at the moment and it was a very difficult one for us to decide, but his desire for first team football was too strong''. I can remember a few threads about Viduka especially during the UEFA cup run the Smogs had with people practically begging him to come. Cacapa made one error last night where he had to rely on Faye to help him out. Didnt have the best game i agree, not the answer, but on a free, is a damn sight more reliable than Bramble ever was! I. Didn't. Mention. Bramble. Although comparing Cacapa against the worst defender we've had for a while is genius. Cacapa made 3 or 4 bad ricks last night, and got lucky. He could have had his arse handed to him liek he did by Portsmouth. And well done for believing some fucking stupid 'quote'. No-one ever makes things up for the press, do they? Jesus wept. He isn't worth first team football, he's proven that. Unless you think that he needs time to settle into the premiership of course, or is one for the future.

Do you think a new manager will not want his own staff, players and time to gel a team/system? I reckon this season is a write-off whether we sack him or not. A season of rebuilding is not wasted. Even half a season of looking at the team and planning for the future is not wasted. Keeping a manager with no chance of success or even a clue what to do is a waste of a season. you're shooting yourself in the foot here, this is our season of rebuilding, just under a manager you've clearly already made up your mind about after 21 games. this is a manager who's had very good results in this league, a manager who's continually backed by other managers who it seems know what they're talking about, sir alex and sven to name just two. maybe, just maybe, its time to trust someone to do what we brought them in to do, a job, in any way they see fit, to get us moving in the right direction EVENTUALLY, no matter how long it takes. Yes, i have made my mind up. I've seen and heard enough, frankly. The transfers, the tactics, formations, selections, substitutions, whining in the press. All fucking pathetic. What do you want from this season? Not what you think we'll get, but what do you actually want? What will Allardyce have to do to be a success this season? Or is being our manager enough? Does that gloss over the facts, and make him suddenly top class, and just the man to make us a big club?

If we lose, he should have he decency to resign. (I fuckin wouldn't like, if i knew sooner or later I'd earn £9m!) It'll be the ref's fault. Or the players.

hahahahahaahahahahahahaah!!!! We were fucking awful against man city from the point they scored. Oh, and Allardyce will not be successful at NUFC, so any tme given to him is a fucking waste. If you have been to any matches, you cannot say its not his fault, he's fucked up royally time nd time again. Although your posts and your signature are maybe a bit harsh, you sir, still speak the truth. Honest, is my inention. If it seems harsh, its probably because i've had enough of the shite Allardyce is putting onto the pitch, then saying afterwards.

http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/b/br/brokenarts/435178_razor_blade.jpg Yeah, i thought he was pretty sharp too.

How come Baggio, the best player of 94, fucked up his penalty in the final? Like I said ability doesn't often come into it in the heat of the battle or moment. How come so-called focussed and determined - but not very able - players like Smith do so badly then. You can't base that theory on players making mistakes.

Thats not actually why we're called "united", mind. If they did their turn inspiring US, they might find it reciprocated. Very hard to chant for the likes of Viduka and Smith when they aren't actually any good, isn't it.

Come on mate. "ability often doesn't even come into it in the heat of the moment". Now, whilst that would be the ONLY reason i can see for signing Smith and Geremi, it's not actually true is it. Because if it was, our many, many punted long balls would be bouncing in off the heads of one of our over-paid, under-skilled players.

More reliable than fucking Barton, certainly. I think the CCTV isn't going to hel the little cunt, either.

I hope he stays. One of the things i least want is for the Red Shite to win the league, and they'll never do it with him.

Could be on about any of our strikers really. On that basis get rid of them all eh? No, lets keep s*** players, a s*** manager, and stupid fans who settle for rubbish. now this sounds good until you think about it hey, thats what a lot of genii (thats the plural) on here think. Success will come by giving a shite manager time and money. Woo hoo! Wembley here we come.

It's actually both and he has neither. Get rid. I disagree with that, there is so little time on a football field to think about what you're doing there cant be any thought processes with the ball at your feets, its all sensory feedback. I know where you're coming from but I strongly disagree, footballing intelligence is a mixture of the conscious and the subconscious interacting with one another which is actually the quickest way to make the RIGHT decision. Btw your very top players do their thinking mostly off the pitch, i.e. the likes of Messi will day dream constantly during the day and night about this and that scenario and what they'd do in this and that scenario, which helps them perform much better on the pitch, i.e. make quicker and better decisions. It's mostly mental this football lark, ability often doesn't even come into it in the heat of the moment. But still people persist with "football is a simple game"... Did Messi tell you that or did you read it somewhere? Don't spoil is made-up stuff, it sounds good until you think about it. it sounds absurd soil sport. He'll be all upset, now.

Back on topic - we paid too much for Martins, he's not a great forward. He's not consistent enough, appears to have no positional sense whatsoever, and hs runs! jesus, its painful to watch at times.

I expect us to win this game, fairly comfortably, albiet with the odd potential scare or two that every match brings. 2 or 3 nil, i reckon. It'll be hailed as a triumph for Fat Head by his fanboys, who will then make excuses after we get humped in the league for the next 2 games.

I think we still have them all, this will be their last game. Thats right, but Martins may still be available for the next fixture according to SSN reports Thank god for that. Fuck knows who would make entirely fucking useless runs for us if he wasn't there.

How do you Shearer even wants the job? Im sure he was on tv yesterday saying he aint interested and he is very happy as a pundit. How would you rate SA reign so far? I'm being sarcastic with the Shearer comments given all the speculation. How would I rate Big Sam's reign so far? Disappointing in the main although I expected things to be tough and for us to be in mid-table. Not a disaster or a crisis as some think it is, put it that way. Disappointing is an under statement, Everything that is associated with a SA team we havent yet witnessed. There is only 2 possitives to come from SA so far and thats Beye and Faye. I would say we are in a crisis, the performances alone states that there is a problem. Im all for givng a manager time but the manager has to show he is improving the team and going in the right direction. I think its silly to put your head in the sand and hope he succeeds because he did a decent job at another club. SA said himself that his kinda bussiness is all about results. Personally i dont think we should sack him at this point of the season but if we continue to be dog s*** for the rest of the season then he should be let go in the Summer or if we are in danger of relegation then he should be sacked. Yes Beye and Faye have been class, but i would also back some of his other signings Viduka on a free was a must, even though his wages are high. Most people on this board would have hung SA out to dry if he didnt go for him Barton without the clause would have cost more than 10 million. A lot of people rated him the 2nd best driving midfielder in the country behind Gerrard. Yes he has baggage, but so did Diouf and Anelka and Sam got the best out of them. Cacapa has been probably one of the best frees of the season. Yes he has only been ok, but for free what else do you expect Enrique looks good and he is only 21 Smith i think was an Ashley buy, and as a squad player is invaluable Beye and Faye have been very good but the rest havnt been that bad What an unmitigated pile of crap. We will have to agree to disagree then! Based on the funds and the timing he had availible i thought he spent very well, and i can imagine 75% of this board would agree I can imagine you were one of the ones hoping the Faye deal wouldnt go through Imagine what you like. If you think flinging £25m and getting two decent enough players is good, fair play to you. He's brought in 9 players - 2 decent, the rest very much not, so far. And no-one, apart from the cretins on here who think that anyone who signs for us is automatically class, thought that Barton was the 2nd best midfielder in the country. Oh, and Smith, "invaluable"..... fucking hell, thats Comedy Gold, that!!! Way to have a big fat set of blacjk & white blinkers, mate. You held back from saying that Geremi was ace, which would have been your crowing glory. Jebus.

I wouldn't trust him with any more money.

Does anyone really, genuinely think, based on what they have seen from Allardyce, and the fact - and it IS fact - that HE CHOSE 9 players to bring in, and shelled out £25m on them, that he is the right man for Newcastle United? And by "right man", i mean the right man to take us to and entrench us in the top 6, which has to be our goal. Fat Head himself said he should be judged on 38 games. If that is the case, and we are still in the same position then as we are now, he has to go, because it simply isn't good enough. Tactics, formations, team selections...all very badly executed by SA and the players he is managing. Not good enough. YES, we need to back the right manager, but lets not pretend that backing the WRONG one is going to bring us any more than the shit we have to put up with now.

Do you think a new manager will not want his own staff, players and time to gel a team/system? I reckon this season is a write-off whether we sack him or not. A season of rebuilding is not wasted. Even half a season of looking at the team and planning for the future is not wasted. Keeping a manager with no chance of success or even a clue what to do is a waste of a season. We're arguably doing that as a club though, regardless of Allardyce. What do you class as success for next season, if say we got in a manager to your liking? We're obviously not going to do anything this year whoever comes in. We may be doing that on the non-footballing side, but i challenge anyoen to show how Allardyce is building on the footballing side by wasting money on tat. Success next season for me - which would be helped by getting someone competent in now - would be a return to the top half of the table, and a team looking capable of establishing itself in the top 6/7 over the next few seasons. The Bitters have proven under Sven that change can happen quickly with the right man, so the above is reasonable i think.
