And to think we felt badly done to back then Fickle motherfuckin' fans. That's all one has to say. It was shocking to see the fans boo and SBR getting the sack for finishing FIFTH and missing out on the CL by a margin. I can remember loads on this board who were calling for SBR's head, and I can still find a few nodding heads, I'm sure. What hindsight gives you, eh?

Been watching Shattered Glass and The Hoax?

Aye. Haven't seen such honour since Gullit packed his bags without asking us for a cent. It takes a man to own up to a situation under his control. Thank you Roeder, and good luck for the future. Saved our season post-Souness, let's remember him for the right reasons. But also learn from the mistakes, Fatty.

The irony is that Roeder had a clear long-term vision for the club - and he refused to waste money on substandard signings last January - but his message has not been heeded by his players. You've gotto be kiddin' me, right? Do these journos ever take our position seriously?

Thank you.

LET ME CLARIFY MY POSITION BEFORE IT HAUNTS ALL OF US IN THE FUTURE: I DO NOT APPROVE OF PEARCE. DID NOT APPROVE OF ROEDER. AND DID NOT APPROVE OF SOUNESS. AND I TYPE IN CAPS. AND, SO FAR, THE ONLY PERSON TO PUT PEARCE INTO THE FUCKIN' PICTURE IS THE OBVIOUSLY SANE KING OF DENMARK.

No Stephen Carr, tbh.

SCORE?

Cheers! Things seem to be looking good. Except for our ridiculously lightweight midfield.

Could someone please be kind enough to have a sort of running commentary going, even with large/inconsistent intervals, as I'm at work and have no way to follow the game.

And you call yourself an optimist.

So I should just give up hope for ever seeing a continental and successful manager take helm at Newcastle, then? All the better. (Not directed at you, mate, but I hope we don't get Allardyce. For the obvious reasons.)

Where's the guy who sticks up for him no matter what, "miles better than Martins" et al...? His "over all play" contributes much more to a team... et al...? Every single time I've seen him for the reds this season he has been overshadowed by his fellow strikers. It's sad, he's one of my favourite players, but over Martins? No ta... [shit, I just realised what I've just done. Apologies for this can of worms.]

Coz it's one of the most outstanding goals ever scored in a black and white shirt (and white shorts, if I recall).

By far the most nostalgic thread ever created. Should be up for multiple nominations for next year's N-O Oscars. Benito Carbone.

Erm, can someone please explain the situation to me regarding him? I was wondering about that all day today, actually, and if we lose him, I swear to God, it's going to be a motherfucking disgrace. It'd be a new low to the toon.

now if I went and looked I wouldn't find an OMFG were gonna get religated post from you would I? Haha... no, Sir, you wouldn't. Either way, it wasn't a personal snide on you or your opinions, but Mourinho's Mourinho. Some have put your general behaviour on these boards down as trolling but I think it's a cut above that, it's more reactionary. And I don't believe in posting such tripe unless given bait ... so why are you giving me some now? Footie's about results, and Jose has proved that he can more than hack it at the top level of professional football with his work, and success, at Porto. Every single team gets lucky when they win fucking trophies, we just don't know this coz we haven't won any yet. Watch any team's run throughout a successful tournament and there'd be some games where they'd look beaten, get a lucky break and go on to the next round. This is not only football, this is life. People seem to want "successful" managers to win each game 5-0, and I bet you, if that were to happen, they'd still call him a fluke saying he never had real opposition in front of him. Jose's a fucking genius, like it or not. Sure he had tonnes of monies to work with at Chelsea, but he made it work. Real Madrid went through their whole Galactico phase winning fuck all post-Becks. I can see why people would think he's not much of a manager because of the luxuries he's had at Chelsea, but the man won five trophies, domestic and European, with fuckin' Porto. Give credit where it's due.

This is the stupidest fucking thread ever and I can't believe people are actually entertaining this notion. It seems you can post about anything on here these days and you'll find at least one crackhead agreeing with you.

Does anyone truly believe Roeder's gonna get the sack at the end of the season? What, from what has gone on for the past few years with our managers, gives you that impression? Do you not see that our Chairman is unable to recognise the need for change and has absolutely no plan for the club. It should be clear by now that the reason we're not Liverpool or Man Utd or Chelsea is because we just don't have a board capable of devising a plan for where they want the club to be in, say, the next five years. Each year is a stop-gap, each decision an easy-fix. It's either Shepherd to the gallows or this shit will continue until we go down. That's the sad fact.

Lets cut to the important bit: http://1.im.cz/super/img/photo/01/32/31-article_v.jpg Shes no Mrs Zambrotta... Got a pic?

Silly question, but can you take a video camera in to the stadium?

Fuckin' hell.

Never a pen. But Guti's the man. The man would take a bullet for Real.

that's like someone saying they're sticking to the football forum cos rehhagel talks crap. anyway, i missed the game as the tv was occupied. :'( Can we not execute these Rehhagels? Putin would.
