I was disappointed that we didn't go for a Carroll/Xisco partnership in the last 10 mins. Two big lads for the wingers to aim for might have given Hull something to think about. We should have went 4-3-3 IMO - we could easily have taken Butt off and went for it.

We'll see.

Which of our players really cares about the club? :S Jonas, Taylor, Martins and Shay Jonas? says who? he's been here 5 minutes! I'd say Beye and Shola You can tell man. He's a legend. Doesn't make any difference if Jonas has been here 5 months or 5 mins, he runs his heart out most games, if everyone else did the same there would be few complaints.

Yet he still can't make the first team. There must be a reason...

Zog is staying unless Spurs come in for him. These tight-arsed French clubs couldn't afford him so he's whistling in the wind IMO.

This is a great deal, I think people are just looking for an excuse to moan. Not only is he past it (just ask Bobby or Jose, two people's judgement I trust) he was also on stupidly high wages which he couldn't hope to earn without being capable of running.

Yes there must be a real possibility Kinnear said that

Mourinho is an awful coach tbh, and what about Bobby Robson, Capello, Ericksson, Ramos, and Jol? These guys really know nothing about football For all the knockers he has, JJ is a box to box midfielder who's main job is to get some assists, put tackles in and occasionally score goals. He does this (well not so much putting tackles in tbh). He needs to stop going missing for periods of the game but his all round game is pretty decent imo (his improved since he was with you lot). As for the reo coker comparison, what exactly does nrc bring to the table. He's got bags of energy and can put a decent tackle in but not much else. You know what it is. I think maybe Jenas suffers from severe stage fright. When the lights come on for real he totally loses it. He must be different in training I imagine, cuz I just don't see it during actual games. I've always thought that about Jenas, he doesn't have the balls to make the most of his ability. It does make me laugh when I see our fans mocking him though, since we replaced him with Butt.

I don't rate Kinnear as a long term manager, he's a decent bloke with a big gob and so far he's been too attached to the wrong players IMO. We have to stay behind him till the end of the season though, no one else will work here without having money to spend.

Words fail me.

I don't think Owen has ever given a fuck about Newcastle so it sums up how low we have sunk that a player who is counting the days till he leaves is wearing the captain's armband. The results when he plays without Oba speak for themselves about who is more important to the team so I now look forward to the summer when he leaves in the summer.

Owen up front. Duff and Butt in midfield today. In their respective areas they were the worst players on the pitch today. But they are good lads so it's ok.

What's that got to do with anything? Apparently only intelligent people are mods It does help.

Did you actually support us when Souness was here? I did, I didn't think he was THAT bad, yes, he took us down the league, but there were good moments, moments which others have failed to achieve while also dragging us down the league. I'd welcome him back with fucking open arms atm, and buy him a house too. Seriously, you are a moderator? Are you aware of the squad he had at his disposal when he took over?

Shame he's playing at left back while useless cunts like Duff are playing in forward roles is another way of looking at it.

Stop relying on has-been players with big reputations and fuck all end product.

Kinnear hasn't done a bad job, he just isn't capable of looking past his nose. You get what you pay for.

Bollocks. We had a home draw with a great tie to look forward to if we won against Hull 2nd 11. There is nothing good about this in the slightest.

I wonder why it was Zog looked far more dangerous from left back than Duff did on the wing tonight? I'll bet he went past more people for a start.

It's our third attempt at beating them and we've ended up getting beat twice. At home. To a team led by a Mackem.

Lua Lua has showed more in 10 mins than Duff has all match.

I have absolutely no faith in this bunch of losers.

It's amazing to think we have so many internationals on the pitch yet we've failed to beat Hull after 3 attempts.

I've got a horrible feeling we aren't going to be able to win this and will go out on pens.

We are looking pretty lively, don't know how we aren't winning this yet.
