  1. I've gone for 15th, that would be totally unacceptable and not the worst finish Allardyce has ever had.
  2. My option isn't included, give him until the summer uness we can get somebody better, if things don't improve then bye bye, again, only if we can get somebody better.
  3. The irony is that somebody who needs stability doesn't understand the meaning of the word and is creating his own problems because of it. Allardyce doesn't look like he's capable of doing anything here, I'd give him a creative player or two then tell him to get on with it. Allardyce looks more like the wrong manager every game, why should that be allowed to go on? He's not showing any sign as yet of being able to do anything about our current state other than making it worse.
  4. Newcastle v Liverpool was like England v Croatia except that we weren't awarded a dodgy penalty to lift us.
  5. The early booing was for Gerard, after that it was for pathetic substitutions and goals against.
  6. Our performance today was worse than that Friday night in the FA Cup when Keegan was playing, that says it all.
  7. The fans who boo have every right to do so although they were never going to help, people are frustrated and have every right to make people know that they feel that way.
  8. Todays substitutions are possibly the most baffling I've ever seen. We were getting beat and not a single substitution was going to change anything, bringing on Carr is possibly my low point of the season but the others were almost as bad. We were getting totally outplayed and went like for like when our game was crying out for something different, that isn't what I expect to see from somebody who is supposed to be tactically aware..
  9. Allardyce should be given the rest of this season unless we can get somebody earlier to turn things around and take us forward, unless were in danger of relegation. The fans are not to blame for this, the fans don't want these stupid tactics and team changes from one game to the next, that's down to one man, the manager. We had a reasonable start but had no stability in the team selection or tactics and we've paid a high price for that as we've got no confidence as a team. Allardyce is a small town manager with a small town mentality, he’s like a fish out of water here and I can’t see any improvement. He’s going to be like Roeder and his best chance of changing things might be if we lose so many players in January that he can’t keep making changes to the team and has to rely on a smaller pool of players. I’ve lost the small amount of hope I had that he could adapt, he can’t adapt and we might as well write this season off in the hope that we can once again make the right managerial appointment come the summer break, I’d take Mourinho tomorrow but we know that probably isn’t possible even if he wanted to come here. If I was Mort or Ashley I’d be talking to Bobby and asking him to approach Mourinho with a view of sounding him out.
  10. I'd be amazed if that team were capable of beating Liverpool 3-1, what did you take before going to bed?
  11. If you do play with pace and power up front then were knackered because we'll play with no cohesion at all as we never have a settled side from one game to the next. Our players will be like England were against Croatia except that I don't think we'd be able to come back if we go two down. It’s a two horse race so we do have a chance but I can see some strange managerial decisions again so I don’t expect too much from us. I can’t see a hammering but I wouldn’t bet against it because Liverpool have a lot more to offer than Portsmouth if Liverpool play as well as they can and look what happened when we played then. I really think we play into the hands of teams who are prepared to have a go at us as we are not comfortable as a team, we’re a group of individuals.

    I rarely went in the scoreboard, mainly the corner once they nicked our roof. I don't think the scoreboard surged any more than the corner. Was anybody at one terrible game in mid-winter when all standing areas started jumping up and down to keep warm? Everybody made a noise which I can't describe but it was hilarious.
  13. You've obviously never been on, if you had you'd know that the club should never have sacked Souness and Roeder.

    I didn't use the pots, pissing in the trough was bad enough although once the troughs were full utilised it was a case of pissing up the walls and waiting for it to find it's way to the turnstiles, I must admit walking through piss streams wasn't my idea of fun. It was even worse when standing on the terracing when somebody decided to have a piss without going to the toilets, I was lucky enough to always manage to get out of the way unlike some people.
  15. Nobody but I might watch out for Croatia after the way they played against us.

    I'm shit at guessing ages but he must be getting on now.

    I hope Tommy isn't still singing 'Little White Bull.' The last time I can remember seeing Tommy was outside the Green Market, he was pushing a barrow of fruit.
  18. I thought the Home Internationals were stopped because when England played Scotland at Wembley it would attract thousands of pissed jocks who only seemed interested in smashing crossbars and attacking people in the streets of London. After seeing how Celtic fans behave when coming to Newcastle for meaningless games, nothing has changed.

    Bloody hell, I didn't know he was dead, him and another lad called Tommy were both well known for climbing onto the barriers, both were usually pissed and both as mad as you can get.
  20. I don't think he'd turn it down if we gave him permission to talk to the FA.
  21. The impression I got from his interview on SSN was that he wasn't saying that he didn't want it for any other reason than he was under contract.
  22. I'm not sure about that as it would be for a different reason than the others, not that I'm saying that it should happen.
  23. I don't think sacking Allardyce would stop anybody coming here, they'd just see it as a new owner wanting his own manager. I doubt they'd tie it in with the sackings of Souness and Roeder after a short period of time.
