Unbelievable

Excellent technique!!

Martins scores!!!

James, it´s England´s Michael Owen, not Newcastle´s..

`Owen will have a groin operation, but seeing as it´s only a small one he´s expected to be back in action in 6 weeks time rather than the normal 3 months for a groin surgery..´

Whereas UK tv has a tendency to communicate completely objectively all things related to England players?

"a small groin operation"..? What the hell is that supposed to be..?

No he wasn't, you're just letting your bias cloud your judgment. He was no better or no worse than any of the so-called attacking/forward players on display whose job it was to create and score. I won't be too harsh on the forwards though because the service was none existent. His prior performances have no bearing on this one btw. You're not winning this argument even with that reservation in place, but as it is such a strange and unjustified one to insist on I do have to ask you: despite the sometimes shocking and sometimes praiseworthy individual performances of Shola Ameobi, do you feel over the long run of his career with NUFC he has justified getting a starting place last night in front of such strikers as Oba or Smith? Alternatively, do you not feel that maybe Martins had deserved a starting spot yesterday because of his recent contributions (assists and goals) and positive comments about his future at this club (now potentially jeopardised)..? Ameobi was the worst of our bunch yesterday because he mostly failed to play the role that was required of him, namely to win headers and hold the ball up and launch Owen and our midfielders. Owen created as little as Ameobi did admittedly, but with all your proclaimed tactical nouse you will be able to understand that Owen's role was a different one, namely to get on the end of lay-offs created (or rather NOT created) for him.. As much as you hate to admit it, Allardyce fucked up his team selection and it cost us dearly..

We can't even get the ball in their half in the last 5 minutes of the match when we desperately need a goal..

Taken your shoes off yet..?

Phew....

Who would you bring on then? Patty? Can't think of a more negative thing to do than replace a DR with another DR while 1-0 down with 15 minutes to go against the bottom team of the league. Putting Given on as another striker would have been more positive..

They must have visited a brothel on the way down to Derby or something, because they all seem to have forgotten the basics of football..

Beye on for Taylor. Another forward thinking move..

Butt should have been sent off shouldn't he..?

We've got Rozenhal and Taylor trying to create something on our right wing with Milner and Zog on the other wing.. Why???

We'll be lucky to only lose 1-0 today..

This performance is Roedertastic..

What's Martins doing as RM?

What are we trying to do bringing Faye on..? Move N'Zogbia to midfield maybe?

quickest goal ever from a goal kick?

Shit!

I think it's fair to say an opponent with more quality would have punished our lazy defending just letting players run through from midfield.. Strange considering we are again playing a defensively minded midfield unable to create anything..

That's funny What is? Suggesting that things would've been better if Shola had been around.... Too true unfortunately..

That's funny What is?

Great play.. Pity it was Rozemnhal at the end of it.. Where was Ameobi?
