good news. good luck chris

as great as it sounds, its a hell of a lot of luck imo, for something that initially looked daft as fuck. credit where its due though!

United Front While memories of the last time Kevin Keegan sent a team out at SJP against Alex Ferguson abound, we prefer to take our text for Saturday from a game we actually lost. "Thunderous and awe-inspiring" was our description of the support provided by home fans at the SJP meeting of the two United's in March 1996, some seven months before the more famous "Howay 5-0" game. A 1-0 victory thanks to Cantona's second half goal proved to be the point at which the course of the Premiership title was re-plotted from North East to North West. But the vocal encouragement that day as Newcastle attempted to batter down the defence commanded by Schmeichel lives long in the mind - and that was from a 36,500 capacity SJP. We lost, but there was a sense that we've given it our all - whether shouting and playing - and competed. We can think of other C words to describe our second half capitulation at Villa Park two weekends ago..... This latest meeting is a massive opportunity to forget about safe standing, game 39, league form, misadventures of former players, the price of gas, whatever. Focus is required - from the stands and dressing room. If you're going with a black & white heart, shout hard - after all, you did it for Allardyce's side against Arsenal in November to good effect...and you didn't even like him. And it doesn't go right, let's retain some pride and dignity and deny these b*stards the satisfaction of seeing us implode in public. Keep the faith. www.nufc.com

1-3 i reckon

what the fuck had they been doing

thick cunt

good luck gazza. get well soon

done

does anyone know who rang him and threatened him yet?

i think it would be crazy to put him in. robert green has been class all season and isnt anywhere near a call up, so to pick a kid of 20 games or so would be silly. i honestly dont think we should look past james for the next year or so, the form he's in he deserves to be between the sticks, then look at this hart kid once he's had some time to develop a bit more/get a bit more experience. for the record (although im no city expert), i dont think hart will play if sven can get hold of a keeper in the summer.

realy? i wouldnt

peter. no danger.

who said he should have gone when we finished 3rd?

i still think brown would be a very good signing.

i love bobby, absoloutely love him. BUT, i agree, he should have been moved on (upstairs maybe) when houllier was. we were neck and neck with them, one year on, they wpn the champions league, and we had sourmess. freddys biggest mistake in his time here was the bobby situation imo.

hope he wouldnt come and he wouldnt make us better. he's never fit. i'd like to see us pick giles barnes up

aye, lets see the press jump on them on sunday supplement tomorrow. with any luck that cunt mr dunn from the notw will choke on his fucking quassant. would make my day.

im not sure im over the moon with this either. the injury situation at the club has most certainly improved, an dlike tron, i'd like to see new methods continued

i have to say, i have slated geremi, but i would liek to se him stay as a squad player. he's as good as any, and is pretty verstaile. i would also keep butt as a squad player. out: carr ramage barton smith duff viduka rozenhal

couldnt see this anywhere, delete if it has been posted. Backroom trio exit: Spare seats In addition to Nigel Pearson and various members of our scouting network, Newcastle have now parted company with conditioning coach Mark Howard, head of sports medicine Mark Taylor and ProZone analyst Gavin Fleig. http://www.nufc.com/

i realy couldnt care less

Good post, but at times like these do you ever get the feeling this "change" will never come, you've got to look at the flip side... fucking right. great post

Most of that was true before Keegan took over, otherwise Allardyce wouldn't have been sacked. Liverpool, Portsmouth and so on...remember? Only a clueless, media-led t*** would judge Keegan on a team he has inherited. If anybody needs reminding, it started going downhill AFTER Keegan left 11 years ago. It's hardly fair he gets the blame for the shambles left behind by his predecessors, the honorable SBR excluded. ...and only a clueless media-led t*** would have had Allerdyce sacked in the first place. Tottenham, West Ham and so on...remember? Keegan had a chance to make changes (all be it small changes) in January, but he failed to do so. Only a man who's letting his heart rule his head would suggest Keegan has done anything but a poor job so far... he's had 5 games mate. 2 of which were against a team we were never going to beat away from home in our current state. one was against a team who sat back for 90 mins and came to spoil the party. to judge keegan after 5 games is simply moronic, and is THE main reason we are the laughing stock of the country

he'll get there imo. he's been fucking shocking so far, but he'll get there i reckon.

What it's all our fault "putting too much pressure on the players"..which is basically what he said. f*** off. thats not realy what he said though is it? you must have selective hearing mate. what he said was it takes a big player to play in front of 52,000 people, and we have had a few in the past who it has destroyed because they couldnt cope with it, we need 'big' players. i didnt hear him say it was our fault? i didnt think he was having a go, i dont think our place is much different to anywhere else to be honest, great when things are going well, not when it isnt. take villa park yesterday, their fans were whinging in the first half, some boo's at half time, and sdtamford bridge wasnt to dis-similar last time we were there. if you want to spit your dummy and take offence over what he didnt say, nee bother, but dont tell me to fuck off when i choose to listen to what actualy came out of his mouth
