Unbelievable

I guess it makes sense that the second tier clubs will come in for him in Jan and offer a few million then because in the summer the bigger clubs will come in for him as well if he's been able to stay fit for the season and the second tier clubs will have no chance. Everything depends on what Owen himself will want to do; he holds all the cards. Oh, and fair play to him so far this season; I agree with the sentiment that he is showing what he is made off mentally in this tough time for the club.

This is the reason the Arsenal model would never work here, tits like yourself shooting players down less than a month after they joined, I wonder if the Arsenal fans were on Adebayor's back this soon when he looked on par with Shola? If you think the Arsenal model would ever work here you sir are an idiot. It starts with being able to determine the potential in players, and excuse me, but so far nothing I have seen from Xisco suggest he is about to rip this league apart anytime soon. Re Adebayor, he got a lot of stick when he first broke into their team, but the potential was there (I definitley saw it) so he was worth perceveiring with. We paid 6 million for Xisco, about the same as City paid for SWP or about twice what Arsenal paid for Van Persie; who do you think looks more 'promising'..? I've already said it wouldn't work here and used tits liek yourself as the example why, it reminds me of the Man Utd fans who wanted Evra and Vidic after their first game or the mongs who were slagging Oba off after he had made 3 starts for the club too. Easy for you to claim now that you always noticed Adebayor's potential, and you accuse me of saying things different now they've happened. The fact is young players need time to adapt and luckily for us Dutch tits like yourself are not in the stands, now go and follow Feyenoord or what other club you claim to be your first team. It's not easy to claim something that has actually happened, because I said so at the time even on this board when some people were laughing their asses off over how inadequate a Henry replacement he was.. Of course, you are commenting on how you would have reacted if something had happened that hasn't actually happened. I'm sure you can see the difference. As for your last comment, are you seriously questionning if I am a fan of this club? What gives you the right to do so? When I came to Newcastle I started going to matches and this was at the start of the 2004 season. I think it's fair to say I'm not exactly a glory hunting supporter and whenever I go to a match I am in full support of the players on the pitch. Can't see why I couldn't pass an early judgement on a player we have brought in after a couple of games of seeing him? I'm not writing him off like, but from what I have seen thus far it looks like the 6 million we spent on him is a huge gamble. What makes you think he will become a good striker in this league if you don't mind me asking?

Oh well. would have been good to salvage a point after that first hald, but as things stand we look like we could easily go down..

Love your sig!

You did. Replaces Geremi.

Kudos to the players for the second half performance. Much improved..

Well played Butt..

Good corner Duff..

7+ET

Instead of Blackburn that is essentially us down to 10 men..

Xisco just looks like a Spanish Ameobi so far tbh..

Too right. Ridiculous challenge on the edge of the area while already cautioned..

Duff has been a different player the second half..

Aye, leave king Kev alone. It's not his fault he done a runner at the worst possible time leaving the club in the s***. Which other manager wouldn't have "done a runner" if put under the same circumstances ? Jose Mourinho? How about Bobby Robson? If you're not happy having players bought for you then he should have gone when Jonas arrived, not on the day after the transfer window closed which was the worst possible time. If it was any other manager the fans would want him hung by his bollocks. So does het get any credit for hanging on hoping thisngs would turn out okay or would you have slated him if he'd walked in June? As I've also said before, if he had left then we'd have exactly the same s*** squad as we have now. I wouldn't have slaughtered him for walking in June, if he'd held his hands up and said this wan't for him I'd think a lot more of him than I do now. I don't see any proof that the squad would be the same either. Rightio.. That's easy to say now isn't it..?

Good try Geremi

Great play Duff, Geremi should have put a shot in..

Get in!

This was never a penalty, but one and one makes two apparently..

Good cross Duff.. Should have been a pen..

Aye, we could be challenging for European football with this squad..

To be honest, him leaving has left us in the mire and although I understand his reasons I am not impressed with his handling of the whole affair either. We don't really know what has gone on behing the scenes, but publicly Keegan has always followed the company line. If he wasn't happy he should have voiced his concerns earlier (internally at least) and exposed Ashley & Co earlier for what they are rather than leaving us in this shit situation we are in right now..

Not a single shot.. Sigh..

Even a doom monger extraordinaire couldn't have predicted this spectacular implosion a month ago.. The people in charge have fucked up in spectacular fashion (and that's including Keegan before anyone starts)..

We're pathetic..
