The midfield were atrocious today. How often do you see both of your central midfielders taken off at home?

All I want for Christmas are technically capable players and a manager capable of organizing them into a coherent, confident team.

Some good quality football? What has this commentator been smoking?

LOL @ Derby really. Sucks to be them.

Slow, unskilled, and lazy. All of them.

YESSSSSS

If we look bad, they look fucking terrible.

FUCK

There were 5 people watching the match in my house and 4 of them fell asleep.

Hadj Diouf 1-1

Of the players I've actually seen regularly (and not just in highlight reels or the occasional match) then Giggs, Fowler & Shearer.

Bashing Newcastle is now the official editorial policy of BBC Sport/606

But the poor old national papers won't sell as many copies without a weekly doom and gloom story

YES YES YES YES YES YES

Has Emre the super sub been up to much?

C'mon lads. Still time.

Beaten.

?

Had a poor feed but caught the replay; the ball seemed to come over him i think, or something. But anyway, gist of it was, there was a chase on between him and Jerome on goal, Rozehnal was absolutely nowhere and put in a pathetic tackle attempt. Jerome just rounded Given and finished easily. Was fairly similar to Caçapa/Benjani-gate. It must just be a case of foreign defenders adapting to the league, but it is still baffling how top class, award winning defenders come to this club and make basic errors.

What's the problem with Rozehnal btw? The match is on tape delay over here so I haven't seen the mistake, but he seems to have difficulty with the easy stuff.

Tevez 2-0

I was very impressed by Milner, Smith and Beye especially. Let's hope today was a sign of things to come.

If we'd played a left back at left back he would have probably hoofed it out of the ground though.. Thats making excuses for Zoggy. Left-back, midfielder or tea lady that was a bad pass. Disappointed with him recently.

Why would the players revolt? "I'm sorry Mr. Allardyce, but I'm just not satisfied with the way I'm playing. You have to go." The only reason I can imagine is that they don't like all that new running around and excercise.

If the axe does fall I would be in favour of Ashley selling up to the MyFootballClub site and letting the chips fall where they may. Maybe set up a reality tv show and finally complete the transformation from serious football club to embarrassing national pantomime. Let it never be said that Newcastle supporters want instant success. They want instant success and a manager with Champions League credentials to inexplicably take a giant backwards step in his career and give it to them. Benitez and Capello have about as much chance of managing Newcastle as I have of dating Angelina Jolie. Sack Sam and we'll get Shearer or Keegan at the very best. If you aren't prepared for that then back Big Sam.
