Unbelievable

Oh ffs.. Get Ameobi off.. Can't believe the guy is on professional footballer wages..

Love Lovenkrand's urgency.. As soon as Ameobi gets the ball though, the game speed drops a level or two..

Nicky Butt More to it than that. As defenders individually ours aren't so bad, but put them together in a back 4 and they turn to shit..

We are so easy to pick apart at the back it's unreal..

So is Ameobi trying to shoot..

You can't?

Haha, Duff thinking for a second he was a footballer there..

FAO the commentator: this is our normal pattern mate..

I think we've stumbled on the one defence in the Premiership that is worse than ours..

Amoebi doesn't even look like a footballer ffs..

Duff playing well so far..

Lovenkrands miskick in a good position..

Both defences are all over the place. Could be a strange scoreline here..

YES!!!!!!! LOvenkrands!!

Yep, 4 errors in quick succession. to allow them to score. We are shit.

That's a big blow for us..

shit... Fuck off Butt..

Lovenkrands looks quick still.

we score!!!

Aye, it's a strange one. Could have used him today.. What's happened to Jonas btw?

We certainly could.. Here's hoping any of the new guys produces something, because the ones we know well aren't going to give us the three points today.

Oh bugger, we might as well hand them the points right now and be back home before dinner.

who do you blame for houllier's heart attack at liverpool? I don't think Ashley was involved with Liverpool at the time.. Stop being overcritical on him, will you..

Just like Keegan before him, Kinnear was promised investment in squad reinforcements. Just like before it didn't happen, even when we're in serious relegation trouble. Keegan walked, Kinnear apparently succombes to the pressure, which isn't surprising given his earlier health problems. Still, Ashley is a dandy fellow.

Joe Kinnear goes and we're left high and dry, crashing further towards relegation to the Championship IMO. No half-decent, self respecting manager is going to come in now and risk being the manager that takes us down. No matter what people think we need Kinnear until the summer, because it's him or noone. Don't agree. The problem last time was the nature of the temp contract and the club being up for sale. Now we can offer a long term deal. There is a much better chance to get a decent manager IMO. But we're still in the s*** with a hot-cold owner, a mute Chairman and amongst relegation. The transfer window is shut so the new guy wouldn't be able to implement any changes and would inherit a squad that seriously lacks confidence. When there's always a chance that he could take the job, not be able to motivate the batch of players there and take the 'mighty' Newcastle United into the Championship, there'll always be those doubts about his mind. I bet Bruce or Shearer wouldn't take the job before safety was confirmed. I can't think of any decent manager that would. Shearer won't take it no matter what as long as Ashley is in charge..
