NE6

They are mates aren't they. I'm sure he's got our best interests at heart...Like fuck he has. He just looks at it as an easy six points as long as fatty is at the helm, taking him one step closer to the title

Firstly I really couldn't care less if we go to Wigan and get beaten. Or Derby, Sunderland, Reading or indeed any other tinpot Premiership club that we've made to look good recently. Sh#t happens, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. You take it on the chin, you whinge and bitch about it a bit but you move on. That's football. What I DO care about is the performances. The insipid, turgid, dross we've been served up with is completely unacceptable. Going to places like these with the express intention of getting a well-fought 0-0 is disgusting. Did you see Man U going to Sunderland and playing for a 0-0 on boxing day? Did you sh#te. OK, we're not Man United and I'm not comparing our relative squad strengths, only our relative intentions. But West Ham stuck 5 past Derby recently when they went there with the right mindset - I can't recall an away game this year where we've managed 5 shots, never mind 5 goals. And home games have often been little better. We made these teams look good by sitting back and inviting them onto us. We offered nothing going forward as we were too busy being terrified about what these relegation-fodder teams might do to us. It didn't take long for them to realise this, so they felt safe attacking us knowing we had no will (Or ability due to the formation we went out with) to go down their end to put one past them. The results were, largely, predictable. So what can Sam do? Attack. Send out a team designed to rip the opposition apart. Show us that with you at the helm we're capable of making teams worry about what we're going to do rather than the other way round. If it fails, it fails. I honestly won't mind. But just send out a team to scare the opposition with the way we go about things and create a hatful of chances. And if by some miracle you can do this by playing 4-5-1 with N'Zogbia at left back, Milner on the left wing, Smith at defensive midfield, Martins god-knows where and Geremi as some kind of right-sided midfielder then I'll be the first to take my hat off to you and say "Well done". However it is my uneducated opinion that the aforesaid formation will produce nothing like that in a million years. So I'll go further and make some tactical suggestions that might help. Play 4-4-2, stick Enrique at left back, Milner on at right wing and N'Zogbia on at left wing, with Martins and either Viduka or Smith up front. Have Emre in the middle alongside Butt. Martins, Milner and N'Zogbia simply must play, and play in their correct positions, as irrespecive of anyone's thoughts about their respective abilities they're the only players we have in our squads who are actually capable of beating a man. But play that lineup, in that formation and with instructions to get at the opposition, beat their man and get the ball in the box and support the forwards and I assure you everyone will be a damned sight happier. But feel free to perservere with 5 men out of position in a 4-5-1 if you want, just don't go crying when it fails yet again to produce a single shot on target and you (Rightly, IMO) get your ass fired. Completely agree. Agreed as well. Stop being a retard and play the players in their true positions then if that doesn't work we can blame the players and not you.....easy

Been thinking that for a while, the only feasible explanation for whats going on

Maybe if he played them in their proper positions they might respect him a bit more

His comments about Milner in the mag were the final straw for me. I honestly believe he's out of his depth, looking for a big pay off now.

Even I am starting to worry for him.. I have backed him thus far, but I am starting to think Sam can't change. I hope, for his sake, he takes a look in the mirror, fucks off all this statistics bullshit and plays the way we need to so the opposition will have to nullify us. Sacking, more change is still a bad idea but Sam continues to shoot himself in the foot. I think a lot of people on here backed sam and many still do back him but week by week its getting harder and harder to see him lasting long in the job, why SA insists on playing players out of position and in a formation which doesnt suit our players is very worrying. Well said. I also get the impression that the players do not like him or his methods, and unless that changes quickly, Sam will be in trouble. I'm commited to backing him, but why's he making it so hard? There's something almost Sounessesque about his 'my way or the high way' approach so far. Free your mind, and your ass will follow. It's not really that they don't like him, I think they don't really believe in his methods. QFT

Thats not happening though, well not into something decent

Never a truer word spoken. Expect him to be away in Jan I reckon, if BS is still here. For the record, he's been a different keeper since his injury

out of interest, who IS the one for us? f*** knows. But i know who it isn't. It isn't a poor manager like Allardyce. you really need to change your act. its very tedious. So you think Allardyce is good enough, do you? Oh, and if you want tedious, try actually going to a NUFC match. Then you will also have at least some idea what you're talking about. Good luck. yes. the whole "this is s****" "thats s****" "he's s****" thing really does you no favours at all. its quite pathetic really. i'd bet my life on you being totally different in real life. and ive been to at least 100 games in my lifetime. but of course i dont know what im on about because everything is s**** and such and you know more than me. So - is Allardyce the man for us? Simple question, yes or no. ive just said i think so. but im definitely wrong arent i. its ok, you can say it. i've got broad shoulders. Are you Gemmil and Co in disguise, get off the fence

In fairness, Gemill is childish enough to cry and cry until he gets his own way. Don't be silly, he's a man now, he lost his virginity the other week

out of interest, who IS the one for us? f*** knows. But i know who it isn't. It isn't a poor manager like Allardyce. you really need to change your act. its very tedious. So is Graham Norton's but he still gets his own TV show

Looks that way. Gemmil and Co have put in a special request to the mods for it to be taken down because they can no longer defend fat sam and don't want to face the music. Just a rumour like!

This season 12th to 14th is looking increasingly the more likely. If were lucky. But tbh I think we've used most of our luck up with last ten minute winners

What is the cause of Newcastle's problems? A fat, stubborn pric of a manager who is out of his depth

I wouldn't give BS (bullshitter) a penny in January, he can't be trusted and isn't the long term answer. Get the fat fuck out now. Can't wait to get on toontastic when they decide to put it back up and ask 'Soopafan know it all Gemmil' why we failed to even get a corner yesterday or a shot on target. But him and the rest of the fence sitters know fucking best, it's amazing what a season ticket does for you, superpowers tbh

Wasted at left back - fact

Smack him for being silly

That's exactly the sort of misplaced arrogance (or is it ignorance?) that gives our supporters a bad name. Even if Sam wasn't trying to rebuild after years and years of shit management we have no right to right to expect at least 3 wins from any 4 Prem games. Yes he's struggling and yes he's making some crap decisions, but until the fans have a reality check and realise there is no overnight solution then it doesn't matter who is in charge because they'll never be given the necessary time to turn things around. Only Mourinho, Shearer or Keegan would be given time - fact

He'll not be here to spend money imo as I can't see us getting anything from our next two games, bye, bye Sam

My thoughts exactly. We get rid of Dyer and this fucka takes up his mantle, bigger transfer fee and more wages....piss take

Get rid, he's a liability

Better than Craig Gordon I heard

They really are brain dead fuckers

The title's the title imo and at the minute I'd take owt

Yes, but just on the last day and Keane is sacked
