3am here in Australia got work in 4 hours, finding it very hard to comprehend just what happended. 10 beers is making it a little easier tho. Posting this from Sydney, foxtel offers championship games so I think I'll still be watching every week next seasons...fuck me this is going to be an awful year or two or three... Really? I thought they only showed them when there isn't anything else on.

Right now I would love that, we would get the financial backing to take us back up and help us stay up. If Ashley goes, it isnt worth thinking about him being replaced with another tight cunt. Did Fat Fred ever put his own money in the club?

Since we're Newcastle, he'll cut losses and sell us back to Fat Fred. Probably isn't one anymore. I'm willing to bet that we'd be worth a sizeable portion of his fortune had he sold us as a Premier league club.

Personally, I think the ones who would have fucked off had already fucked off long ago.

On the up side, we'll be seeing a lot more from Nile next season. Oh fuck off

Offer all of them new contracts with reduced wages, sell anyone who doesn't sign. I'm sick of hearing shite like, "a lot of these players won't relish playing in the lower leagues" well you fucking well deserve to!

Not that the ratings really matter anymore, but Viduka 4? He was our only outlet all game long. Edgar didn't do reasonably well, I could have done better than that. He must have been wearing shoes made of lead because he didn't cross the ball once all game long.

Utter apathy is all I have now. The only reason I'm going to continue to support Newcastle United is because we're like a fucking pair made in heaven.

Joey Barton?

missed a couple of sitters though. should have had 1 or 2. Sitters? As in chances he should have taken. The one that hit the post, and the one late on in the second half. Shearer would have been proud to score those.

Why evrerybody talking about Hodgson? - I'm not sure, but Hodg's did his work as usual at SJP. Not entertaining, but pointsaving. I hate Fulham because they're a boring difficult side. I'd hope Shearer could get an easier task at last homematch..... Villa are a "happier" team. So one of the sides get 3 points. -No draw............ Howay The Lads! I'd be happy if we could play anything like Fulham tbh. They aren't long ball merchants like Bolton/Stoke/us, but they do everything so very, very efficiently, and give you the impression that they could pass between themselves with their eyes closed, ala Greece 2004.

bottling it would be hiding, Seb did no such thing, he simply made a couple of bad errors it was a stupid f***ing foul and he got an assist on their goal, trying to play Nevland offside, when there was no f***ing need to do so. which would have been accomplished had Taylor been using his brain for football instead of trying to decide which arse to lick in the Chronicle next week. Yeah, it was a stupid foul. But bottling it? That's what half of our team have been doing all season, but not Seb Still don't think Bassong really fouled him. Sure there was a hustle, but Bassong didn't even touch Kamara when he started tumbling. IMO he realised that Bas was the last man and was looking for the red card.

I think there is more we can get out of our current set of players - just look at Fulham. They have some properly shite players in their side but it doesn't bog them down much, why? Because everyone's been drilled so hard they could pass between themselves with their eyes closed. Let Shearer work with the current side a while longer before we decide on a fire sale, and end up getting relegated from the coca cola league because our players couldn't gel in time.

Bet you wouldn't even be posting on here if he scored from that last gasp effort =P (It was him, right?)

I honestly didn't see too much of a fault in the way we started the game. Had we started closing down everything right off the bat, we'd be depleted after 70 minutes ala Portsmouth, and Fulham are in every way a much more efficient side than Portsmouth. And to answer the question on the topic, no I don't think it is. We deserved to win this game and didn't; the summary of the season's more like we were shit, and deserved to be down here.

Thought he did alright today.

What block? Webb couldn't see it anyway..that's my point,he can't disallow a goal for something he MIGHT have thought happened. How are you to know he didn't see it? After Monday he was clearly going to be looking out for Nolan to do it again. If we were going to do it, we could have at least got someone f***ing else to. Because from the view from Nolan to the ref,there were at least 10 bodies directly in his way. I'd swear that Webb made up his mind to blow on that corner the moment he saw Nolan within 3 feet of Schwarzer.

Surely a player's allowed to compete with the keeper for the ball? In any case, Nolan did not obstruct the keeper - Schwarzer slipped past him like he wasn't even there. Liverpool did the same thing re: blocking runners in corners, and Kuyt benefitted as a result. Why didn't anyone even bat an eye at them?

Didn't say we shouldn't be deluding ourselves The players need to work themselves into a fury and go Bruce Banner on Aston Villa next week.

Delude yourself more like.

If we stay in the premier league there's no way we're going to be able to buy 10 new players who are good enough, to replace them.

Credit to Nolan for improving on short notice but Ryan Taylor, you are a cock-sucking moron I never want to see playing for us ever again. How god damn retarded do you have to be to turn a clearence into a cross for the opposing team?

Anger. If the players are even half as angry as I am, we'll fucking rape Aston Villa next week.

No offense to people who go to games, but the ones who left early ... well I have no respect for them.

We played the best fucking football I've seen in ages and every single player puts in their performance of the season, and "we only have ourselves to blame"? You're taking the piss, surely???!! You cynical cunts really need to fuck off. While it was 11 v 11 we dominated them in every single department, bar the counter. By 'dominating' do you mean in the full-out BDSM philosophy or how a boss subtly dominates a bullish worker who knows the boss's weaknesses and hits hard on the counter? Honestly, we did NOTHING with the fucking ball. We had the end product of a Chinese factory. Lotsa workers, but still create shit. If you do nothing with the ball in this league you go fucking down. Simple as. We have no pace. No players who can pass. Our only player with any sense, Guthrie, was hauled off for Ryan fucking Taylor and the longhaired Argie, as lovable as he is, epitomises the quality of this factory. Do you honestly think nothing would have came from the game had Bassong stayed on? Or if the goal counted? For the first ten minutes of the second half, Fulham barely even touched the ball. Is that not enough for you? Fulham are a good, efficient side and it was always going to be difficult to create clear cut chances against them but fucking hell we scored, and in 9 out of 10 instances we'd have gone on to win it. Ryan Taylor was shit, granted. And a fucking moron.
