You have just lost my vote for most pessimistic poster, numbnuts!

I think everyone should finish posts like that. It's the British way. Yours sincerely, danswan

Would you give a shit if we were winning? Well, he hasn't scored goals, and we havent been winning as well as we'd like. We have a really tough 2nd half of the season, and will need both strikers (and contributions from MF) if we are to pick up enough wins to finish in the top 8. That wasn't the question - just taking him to task regarding this goals thing, it's a load of bollocks. If a team is winning, it doesn't matter that one of your strikers isn't scoring. He is obviously contributing elsewhere, and others are obviously making up for his shortfall as the team is winning. Of course I appreciate that we aren't winning, or at least not consistently and as such Smith's lack of scoring becomes more of a problem. I'm certain he will score a few this season - bear in mind he has played what, 3 games up front this season? Give him a run of 10 starts on the trot up front, I would expect 1-3 goals from him, but I would also expect to see us winning and keeping the ball in opposition territory a lot more, leading to more goals from others.

Sheer class. You have just secured my vote in whatever section you may be nominated in that awards thing.Hahahaha!

I love how you go out of your way to make negative opinions of everything regarding our club. I very much doubt any of these are your opinions, in fact i know they are not because i seem to remember you giving some very good (accurate) comments about the club 3 years ago when i joined this forum. If these are your opinions then fine but seriously i'd like to see the other opinions return because they were much better and a far more enjoyable read. The Souness era has transformed him into a twisted, evil shadow of his former self. And who can blame him?

Spooky

Fuck. 7 then. 7 for me.

I think we should stop fucking around with these old systems and bite the bullet and create one of our own. Here's one I created, I call it the 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1. It looks like this: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 A strong spine.

Yes. Sliding tackles are just like lying down at speed.

Has anyone said 6 yet? Baggsy 6

Maybe he's been watching Pelé videos?

No, but how many decent, experienced players does he actually have to choose from?

Where's that bloke that makes racist comments about Jews?

Bag o' shite

And for us this means?

Cue the second half hat-trick

I'm hoping for a good performance here, but my head tells me we willl lose. 3-1 Fulham

While i hate Man Utd myself, i can't help thinking your views are magnified because you happen to follow their Derby rivals. If Man city played in Rome most of your lot would want to go. Each travelling fan must accept they go at their own risk, but they can't be criticised for following their team. As for the Man U fans going looking for trouble, you may be right, but you can't know that. No ground in Europe should be a no-go area. Trouble finds those looking for it, simple as. There were a few thousand other Mancs that managed not to get shanked. I'm with Specky on this one. Eh? Do you also mean that a granny who gets mugged on the street 'must' have deserved it as a few other thousand granny's didn't get robbed? Well how come all the other ones managed to avoid it? Maybe she was wearing a t-shirt that said 'Are You looking at me, cunt'

Racist! lol!

Sweet jesus!!!! Because the players they want are more than likely cup tied for the CL or the clubs they want to buy off are challanging for a league title/CL places or are still in the CL. I thought everyone new that Your looking at the whole club from the first XI to the tea lady!!!! SUPERFAN ALERT The tea lady's role can never be underestimated. Not at this level.

I think Sam needs a geography lesson.

And even if he didn't fix them, he wouldn't have massively exacerbated them as our scottish friend did. I agree that Robson had pretty much reached the end of the line, I don't think sacking him was necessarily a mistake, although the timing and the manner of it lacked class. As others have said, it was the choice for his successor that was the big mistake

Indeed. To the Max!

It was the promotion season of 92-93 - we had just come off an 11 game winning run, finishing with the win at Joker Park the previous week...ironically, it was AT Grimsby, in May the following year, that we clinched promotion with a 2-0 win ; Andy Cole got the first, just after half-time and Ned Kelly clinched it on around 85 mins - one of the best nights supporting NUFC I've ever had ; was lucky enough to get into the Directors' Box at Blundell Park, we were all going berserk when Ned scored. KK had a bucket of water chucked over him by Ned afterwards - always wondered if that was why he let Ned go to Wolves after the season ended(just joking !). Aye what a night that was. Cleethorpes was like little newcastle that evening. The following night I shook David Kelly's hand in the bogs of the Shahenshah in Whitley. Funny that the hygene implications of that have only just registered :-[
