Unbelievable

Agreed, far from our worst player in the first half..

Shearere legend: "I don't know why I'm laughing"

That was NOT a poor ball.. We just have no right wing..

Taylor: "Now, if set-pieces aren’t right, we practise until they are. Last season, it was almost a case of thinking ‘they’ll be okay on Saturday’ . They weren’t." Right..

Oh shit..

Duff man you puff..

Great play by Carroll!!

Decent from Carroll, Enrique and Jonas so far. The rest have picked up where they left off..

Carroll was completely free at the first post. Of course Nolan couldn't get it to him..

Not so bad..

Lucliky I can't hear them. Sound gone for anybody else?

Why have we got Carroll as our playmaker?

Aaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhhh

Didn't the Wigan fans promise us this was Raylor's level..?

That Raylor cross earlier..

good bit of play..

We've obviously been working hard on these set pieces Tayls..

Where has the club denied this today? The only things I have seen/heard is Ashley's "no comment" and a news report from nufc.co.uk from July 15th..

No they f***ing don't Seriously how do you come too these conclusions? We can fill a 52,000 seeter stadium while Everton can't even come close to filling a 40,000 seeter stadium but they have a bigger fanbase then us because "you would say they have more fans outside of the region"? Firstly mate that's guess work, secondly its pretty irrelivant. Same thing with Leeds. So you honestly believe we have a bigger fanbase and cachement area than Leeds United too?...i think its time to take off your black and white Blinkers...next you will be saying we are a bigger club than Everton all because SJP holds 52k and Goodison 42k or so..irregardless of the fact we have won jack s*** domestically for 55 years a lot of that time spent languishing in the second division..f***ing hell it hits home when there are 2 clubs in the same league as Gateshead that have won a major domestic trophy since we last have....wake up we arent a big club in anything other than the size of our stadia England have won f*** all since 66 but barring Brazil are probably the biggest draw in world football. Winning things means nowt compared to reputation. You what?

Good luck Oba. We'll now have to rely on Alan Smith for the occasional moment of brilliance..

Thanks for everything Bobby. RIP

35 with Kinnear. 110 if a new manager comes in. 1500 if we go down. Almost.

One of the things I've missed the most this off-season is a proper transfer thread, with vague rumours, hope built up, disappointments about players turning us down, surprise signings etc.. We haven't even had some proper transfer thread entertainment this summer. All we get is 217 pages of nothingness..

Deja vu. Are we really going to allow Fat Mike to tarnish another Newcastle legend?
