Fair comment, I just thought it was worth a try. no worries fella, got respect for you and your views, thumbs up

Your 'i's' should be upper case, so should the 'a' at the beginning of the sentence, do I win? no, it was a spelling competition, not punctuation and grammar

If i were at the game yesterday i would of walked out of the ground in disgust...of the fans. Terrible. We look like the muppets everyone brands us as. Well done. Agreed. Completely embarrassing. NE5, i feel total and utter delight on agreeing with you, CoachHTT, where the hell have you been? we've been fighting this alone for 12 pages! go and have a wankathon with your mates over your fat sam picures haha, i rarely agree with NE5, that was my point. and if you're going to try and be clever i suggest you check your spelling

It's actually 14 games in, we also lost to Arsenal reserves. 14 games is long enough to see that we have problems, problems which are to a large extent self inflicted and repeated on a regular basis. I've seen enough games lost to get over a defeat or two, I hate it when I'm 90% sure that we'll lose before a game because of something which could be put right very easily. This repetition is getting very boring but I have a feeling it will be repeated again during the next couple of games. I hope I'm having this post bumped next week to prove me wrong but I doubt it. but the man has a proven track record of getting things right in this league if you give him time, for the club to be successful, at some point the fans have got to give someone a chance when things AREN'T going right, because no-one can get everything right all the time, the main difference between bolton and newcastle is expectation, (apart from history, which at this point counts for nothing) its the fans attitude that sets the two clubs apart, we need to accept that we're a mid table club at best, with a man in charge who has previously taken a relegation candidate club and taken them to a more than decent level

for gods sake, i had to have a word with a mate who said this yesterday 'gary megsons team beat man u today, thats how bad our management situation is', you people cant see the wood for the trees, thats a SAM ALLARDYCE team playing man u mate, his players, playing his system, whats the diference between them and us, TIME Mate if you want a team that is very happy to graft out the odd win against the odds, pick up a lot of points from draws and safely home in on 9th spot each year then Sam will definately bring us that given time. He is in fact well on the way. Trouble is most of us here want a manager that wants to go out and beat the filth 7-1, instead of trying to graft a precious point off them. We don't want to transform into Bolton. We want Sam to take the best of what he had at Bolton, but to let go of all that small club grafting crap. He has a first team packed full of internationals, he needs to start using them as such. Forget Liverpool and Manure. We don't have the players or the finances to compete with them in the short team. What is the problem with Sam is he is happy as a lark to go and 'steal' a point off the filth where David Moyes with a similar squad goes and thrashes them 7-1. And David Moyes is no managerial Einstein mate. He just got his team to pass the ball a bit and put a bit of pressure on the s*** backline they have. Which surprisingly worked better than letting them come at our backline and trying to absorb the pressure. i agree with most of what you're saying, i'm starting to repeat myself here though and its getting boring for everyone, we know what sam did at bolton, we also know that in the long term thats not what we want, but from where we were before he took over, it'd be a start. at the end of the day its down to ashley and mort what happens with the manager, my point is that i'm sick to death of the fans attitude, the wholesale changes over the summer looked to be the turning point for us, a new start, fresh optimism, but the fact of the matter is that it doesnt take long for the booing to start again. it feels like our fans are more bothered about drama than they are about football, half way through the second half yesterday i look around and everyone's grinning at how bad its gotten phil k - yeah mate, i'm daft, keep booing

50,000 idiots who don't deserve what? s*** football, you're right. its fair enough mate, you've got your concerns about the way we're playing, so have i. i just dont think that the way that our 'supporters' react to bad times is condusive to success, at all, even when we win i leave the ground frustrated at all the negativity around. i'm starting to think that many years of false dawns have changed the fans mindset beyond repair @bobbydazzla - spot on mate

I can't recall an example of when the home fans booed a home player and his response was to up his game and suddenly deliver a blinding performance for the remainder of the match. if you get booed by the home fans when you're away from home, then in many cases it will drive you to up your game. Especially if you possess the footballing talent of Mr S Gerrard. and my issue with booing gerrard is the reason he was booed. He had a shitter for england, so f****** what ! it has nowt to do with a game in which NUFC are playing LFC. these days the fans inside the ground are more arsed about where they can direct their negative abuse, rather than singing their hearts out and getting behind the side. it is like a f****** pantomime. couldnt agree more, 50,000 idiots, we dont deserve it

sam was appointed because of what he was able to do at bolton over a number of seasons, did anyone check his record over their first 13 games? i doubt it, why? because it doesnt matter, its what you do over the course of one, two, three seasons that matters, thats when you judge a manager, not after 13 f****** games, for fucks sake, get, a f******, grip edit - wow, we can say fucks?

a nice sentiment mate, but never going to happen. i may not renew my season ticket next season, and if that does end up being the case, being surrounded by 50,000 morons every week will be the main contributing factor

i'll just give up then, good luck

what's your definiton of 'the job' ? Someone with an ounce of tactical knowledge, logic and understanding of the game. Not some fat headed prick who'll just sit there trying to look great with a head set on. Barton on for Emre, Carr on for Enrique when it's 3-0 with 10 minutes left.. all you can do is laugh. you didnt answer my question

what's your definiton of 'the job' ?

Give him time for what? How long does it take for him to realise that his impact on the team through his tactics and constant pissing about with team selection is causing more problems than they solve? give him time to get a bigger group of players that are his signings, time to drill the players into the formations he wants to use, just, you know, some time, to turn things around, i dont like it either mate, that was shit today, but just give the bloke a chance regarding the smith situation, yeah, maybe he hasnt got the balls to pick his own team, i dont know, i just find it too much of a coincidence that on the one hand, sam has a good record in this league, which surely must corrolate with the ability to see who should be playing where, and yet, smith has done nothing all season playing either wide or in centre mid and he continues to be played.....and the guy that pays everyones wages, AND ALL HIS MINDERS, wear smith shirts every week, he was on the front cover of the nufc annual for fucks sake!

i'm suggesting he, and whoever is with him, turn up with smith on the back of his shirt every week, is it any coincidence that allardyce shoe horns him into any formation he can? i dont know

give him time for fucks sake, anyone bothered about smith playing 90 minutes every week should be looking to get rid of the owner and not the manager

beye looked good today, barton looked much sharper, give sam one season at least

they wont ask him, and if they do he wont take the job

not gonna happen, sam will be here till AT LEAST the end of the season, and even then i dont think mike would dismiss him unless we have a world class manager lined up, which isnt gonna be very likely, unless he decides to spunk a hell of a lot on wages, either way i dont think we have to worry about any more speculative managerial appointments for a while, with mikes money, he's gonna want to appoint someone proven

oh, look, its an argument about shepherd

get in

gutted for him like, to be honest might make it easier for sam to get rid though as he can just play the injury card when talking to mort

fucking hell, kicking a ball? he really is fucked

mate to be fair i think martins got his chance last season, we know what he can and cant do by now hes our top goalscorer and still doesn't get a first team place thats my argument oh, dont get me wrong, i dont think he DESERVES to be left out, anyway what happened with owen? i didnt see the match
