HTT your completely up Allardyce's arse and have been since day one, and any manager any one suggests your going to just pick faults with and reject as inferior. So suggesting any other manager for this thread becomes completely pointless.

It really showed today how utterly atrocious the first touch and composure of our team is. It lets us down on so many occasions and is one of our biggest weaknesses. Viduka is a bit of an exception but in general it is a joke.

Someone above said Arsenal have better fans than Man U what a load of bollocks that is! Man Utd's away fans are the best I have seen at St James mainly for their creativity in their songs, although Fenerbahce for pure insanity come close.

I think perhaps Mourinho encountered a situation where if he wanted some decent players he was having to pay 20 million just because it was chelsea bidding. So he had to turn to the likes of Sidwell, Pizarro, Ben Haim to fill out the squad.

He's not Maradona so we should definitely get rid of him, and also because he's not Maradona he is the worst player ever to wear a newcastle shirt

Depressing that teams like Forest, Leeds, Sheff Wed are all languishing where Boro should be. Premier League would be a lot better atmosphere/crowd wise with those sorts of teams rather than some of the shite that we have at the moment.

As was mentioned above, no serious action will be taken. The situation with Italian football is ridiculous now, something has to be done about it.

"Joe Cole's been shit for the past season or two" .....Hasn't he been injured for a lot of that time???

Leaving aside the more obvious ones like Maradona...I always loved watching Raul when he was at his best. Also Rivaldo was a brilliant player as a few people have mentioned. Got to respect Cafu's achievements as well. In 10 years time Messi will probably be high up in these sort of lists.

We are not going to get into Europe and we are not going to get relegated, we are going to be midtable this year. Whilst I don't especially like the current management of the team, there isn't a catastrophic amount of harm in giving him until next season to turn it around. Martin O'Neill has shown at Villa that it is possible to go from low midtable to a top 8 side with a bit of time.

Does anybody watch Serie A regularly? I don't but a mate told me recently that week in week out in the league Kaka doesn't actually play that well. If that is actually the case then he shouldn't win it.

I have a question for Joey and the people who think booing should be banned or whatever: As a season ticket holder how can I express to Sam Allardyce and some of the first team squad that I think their attitude towards a lot of games this season has been utterly pathetic, and that its embarrassing to be a supporter when we are going to Reading and Derby to sit deep and "nick something"? NB: this is not a question about whether the attitude has been pathetic or not, its a question as to how a supporter can express their opinion to the people responsible.

I dont give a toss whether he "needs telling how I feel", i pay for it so he can fucking well hear how i feel when he wastes my money.

thats exactly the point i was making - there is no form of communication with the club/staff other than the rather crude booing.

or alex did u not read the bit where it said "if u want to leave early then by all means do"?

what i meant was i dont mind booing at full time - it gets a point across. booing during a game doesnt help. And my issue with early leavers wasnt them leaving, it was them standing up in front of me so i cant see the game that i want to stay and see.

I am fully supportive of booing and chanting "you dont know what your doing at Allardyce". As a season ticket holder I feel I have no plausible way of communicating effectively with the club on any level. The only way to get across my opinion that I utterly detested his decisions on saturday was to shout you dont know what your doing at him, and to boo at full time. I do however think it can go too far at times, and booing during the game when 2/3-0 down just demoralises the players so badly. I also have a MAJOR issue with some early leavers - if you want to go early by all means do, BUT PLEASE DO NOT GET UP TO LEAVE WHEN PLAY IS CONTINUING SO THAT I CAN'T SEE!!!!!!!! This was especially annoying with 35 mins gone on saturday when we were near their area for a change and a whole row of drunken pratts in the leazes think oh this is a great time to ruin it for people behind me.

I would like to address a point made by one or two people in this thread about sven and the people in the media now referring to "what a good job" sven actually did. He was not a good manager, never has been and never will be. He could take an extremely talented and or wealthy side and beat lesser managers. As soon as he came up against any talent in the opposition dugout he failed with england. Makes me feel sick seeing people in the media saying what a good job he did with England, especially after they crucified him.

Does anybody else feel that we are in quite a similar state to when Sir Bobby had been in charge for a year or two? Very midtable, a few players with quality etc. Then 2 or 3 signings in the right places could transform us into a strong force in the premiership?

Im sorry but if we even contemplate wasting money or time on securing jussi then I will strongly advocate sacking allardyce. Would be the most utterly pointless signing and anyone who cannot see that is an idiot.

There have been a couple of threads on here lately about goalkeepers which I frankly find bemusing. We need to be concentrating on other areas wayyyyyyy before the GK position. We have Given, Harper, Krul and Forster for fucks sake! Why is everyone so concerned about this position when clearly we need a world class centre back and high quality attacking players????

oh and actually on the topic of mourinho..........not a chance!

This is such a strange feeling....on the one hand i am happy that mclaren will imminently be unemployed and that many of the England "stars" will have their careers blighted by this, but on the other I am disappointed to be missing out on some good old fashioned summer tournament watching in various pubs etc.

His point that these owners should invest in American 'soccer' if they actually liked football is right. The thing about the adverts every 15 minutes is complete and utter bollocks and will NEVER happen! American football does not stop every 15 minutes so coke can do an advert - they stop at random intervals to CHANGE THEIR LINE UPS ROUND! They have to switch their entire teams from offensive to defensive players when their attack is over, so when this happens they just stick adverts on because nothing is happening! Im starting to wonder who is more of an idiot, Platini or Blatter. Blatters got the experience of being an idiot, but Platini is storming up on the outside with some ridiculous comments lately.

Krul's height will give him an advantage in terms of improving his aerial dominance. There are not a lot of good young goalkeepers around so we should be thankful that we have one of the potentially top keepers in Europe. He should be at a good championship side though rather than cannon fodder up in the SPL.
