Were Newcastle United, when has it ever been simple?

I imagine Shearer would take the sort of role Quinn has at Suncerland in that he would become Chairman and the face of the club but the real financial muscle would be with the Icelandic guys.

Rosenior has said he wants to leave Fulham as well as Sanchez has said he's not a starter anymore.

Watch Falkirk's next game and see why, it's like a team of Bramble's Krul was absolutely shocking for Rangers 6th goal. Didn't exactly cover himself in glory with the some of the other goals either.

Really hope Spurs beat them next week as well. Nothing more I would like to see than Fergie get the sack.

Great news.

Deco would be immense for us. He is exactly what we need, a midfielder who can create something as the only person who created anything really in the first two games was Milner. As for the talk of a RB like Belletti or Bosingwa, they are again exactly what we need, a RB who can go forward.

Milner or Rozenhal for MOTM. Milner was our only attacking player who looked like creating anything today and Rozenhal was very solid at the back. Also Amoebi looked miles better than Viduka today. Viduka did nothing today for us and when Amoebi came on their was a noticeable improvement. No more Zog at LB. Bring in Cacapa, move Taylor to RB and Carr to LB if Jose Enrique is still not ready. Get Butt out of the team ASAP for someone who can pass a ball and attack. Hopefully Emre will be back by next week.

You can't be successful playing a defensive system against a defensive team. You just end up with a stalemate.

Should have played a midfield 4 of Milner-Smith-Geremi-Zog, atleast we would have some creativity from the wings.

Not so bothered about the result but the way we played was so negative and we created next to nothing.

Because Marton O'Neill is a cavalier manager who never sets his team out defensively... any chance that might have contributed. Didn't stop us beating them 3-1 against virtaully the same team last season.

About Allardyce's football driving fans away? Seriously, I'm racking my brains to think of a more boring game I've watched involving Newcastle. The midfield Allardyce has created was especially bad, defensively solid but showed naff all going forward. I seriously hope today was a one off and we don't keep playing this defensively, especially at home.

Wrong. SkySports and the BBC both initially had him in the starting lineup but as mentioned above was later replaced by Meite.

Faye starts for Bolton.

Tough draw for us considering who we could of got. Gonna have to put out a decent side to win.

Owen + Others didn't train because they were having a recovery day involving things lke massages. Then all the rest has been said on .cock

Malouda.

Heads up for anyone who didn't notice, Liverpool/Toulose game starts at 3.30 for some reason.

As much as I try to hate Keane for managing Sunderland I like him more and more everyday.

He just wants to be nearer London and Portsmouth ain't too far away compared with Newcastle.

Hopefully Pompey get a result against Man U.

Looks like Dyer is finally going! Yay!

Played 3 minutes,

Have to say I don't think anyone other than Martins really deserved a place. Harper did OK but nowt special apart from 1 good save. Rozenhal made one bad mistake which forced the good Harper save at the start of the 2nd half. Taylor and Carr solid-ish but unspectacular. Zoggy, good cross/shot for the gaol but not much else. Smith, Geremi, Viduka and Butt worked hard but again weren't spectacular. Milner was probobly the next best bet to be in team of the week but not as good as the players who got in.
