A goalless draw is on the cards, I feel...

Shit shit shit shit shit!!

Mike Riley is part of a great conspiracy against us. Shocking refereeing.

Some encoraging signs so far...needs Barton on ASAP though.

Smith not far off there!

Take Butt to the knackers yard, ffs!

Hate to say it but play like this and we deserve to go down. HOWAY THE LADS!!

The game is with Pompey now...we need to find some way to break through...Hart's playing v negative tactics

Aw shite, man

WTF was Oba up to there?!

Aaarrrrggggghhhh!!!!

I feel so sick. I just feel so much pent up aggression inside. We have to do this! HOWAY THE TOON!!!

Was just wondering how much of this people think has changed since Shearer arrived? I've highlighted the key points.

Good to see that Arshavin's completely useless. Oh, and THIS. I missed it!

I usually laugh at the Daily Mash. Bit too near the knuckle to be funny though, isn't it?

All our women are dogs. [/shepherd]

And the winner of this week's Most Homoerotic Post Award is...

Fuck him. Aye. With a red hot poker stick. Fucking splitter.

Agreed. Getting those balls into the box is all important, no matter how messy it gets.

Comedy gold. This truly deserved its own thread.

As Big Ron would say...

Fair enough, point conceded.

Even if he did feign injury, we'll have to deal with it in another way. We just can't afford to lose him now. Bullshit we can't. If he plays again after feigning injury and destroying our tactical shape, that would seriously undermine Shearer's leadership. Beg your pardon but...Shearer's what? Shearer's leadership? Are you sure about that? I think you were trying too hard to be snarky there that you forgot to say what you were actually trying to say. Fairly obvious, really. I don't get a strong sense that Shearer's supposed "leadership" is really all that strong in the first place, so that this little episode with Martins merely goes to underline that analysis for me. Sorry you needed me to spell it out for you though.

It's not just about the failure of Shola Ameobi to be half-decent footballer worth his probably ridiculous salary. It's about the consistent failure of Newcastle United's owners and managers over the past decade to recognise that the lad is an average Championship player at best. To that extent, the phrase "about as effective as a solar-powered lamp" could be used to describe the competency of Messrs Shepherd, Robson, Souness, Roeder, Allardyce Keegan and Shearer as well as Messrs Ashley etc who have seen fit to keep the bandy-legged muppet at the club labouring under delusions that he could one day be good enough to play for England.
