Well HTT sometimes I don't get you and I don't get you a lot. Last time you said Mourinho is not good or better than BS now though you saying the greatest mind in the game. Even though you analysys seems intersting to say at least to drop or to sell a player like Owen for one kind of system is simply lame. We all shouldn't forget Player make systems not the other way around.

Given,N' Zogbia, Owen.

With his experiance and his class M Owen should be our captain. When I say class I am sure many of you here want to disagree but he is very classy stricker and a calm infulence in the dressing room.

Pls guys the next game is live and we should mention his name as appreciaition and fun. The guy is legend if anyone of you guys still doubt him you need a mental check up.

Ohh last minutes Martins he was a fraction offside..... It is insane though not to play our leading goal scorer regardless.

If some of you guys go to the match tell Ashly we need to spend Abrhmovice kind of money to win some title. Tell him we need big name players like the KK era. Once we start having the the whole city will buzz off. We will not get a better opportunity other than this so pls tell him our message like all the good stuff....... I really like this fellow he is a Legend...

It is good people relize we are not changing the managment team it gives some sort of stability. But it remember Roader gets simillar backing last November. Sam deserve a run with the team and it takes time to get anything out of this at this momment.

Lay of Michael Owen he just need better service and more creativity he is world class player on average team.

Owen, Martins, Germi.

Well Five years since he took over then four more to go to be champion. I will pray for that, with due to respcet to Big Sam we can't become a championship team under his leadership. With his ability best we can be a solid Champions league team to be a realistic. Other than that I am sure we won't extend Addidas that is a fact since Ashley is likely buys Umbro. It doesn't concern me a bit though weather we wear any thing as long as we have a decent team on the park. ITK or whoever come up with this points I thank you because you cheer my weekend up slightly.

Thats comes to my mind as soon as I see this tread.

That was awesome Yorkie Geordie Keep the dream alive. I think we paid out about £25m, and recieved about £14m through the Parker and Dyer deals. So that's only £11m, which compared to what the likes of Manchester City, West Ham, Portsmouth, Sunderland, and just generally in comparison to the crazy figures paid out this summer - it's quite limited. Plus the players he got rid of are players the fans wanted rid of anyway, he spent £25 million and doesn't seem to have improved us much at all. Total and utter bullshit, tbh. I honestly don't know how anyone can say that. What big improvements have you seen on the pitch so far? Firstly, in general, the squad has improved dramatically. The defense is the most obvious evidence of this. Our first choice back-line last season was Carr (s***) -- Taylor (alright) -- Bramble (s***) -- Babayaro (s***), with our back-up coming in the shape of Huntington, Ramage, Moore and Edgar. How can you not say that the defense has improved? They were crap for eleven minutes today, but i haven't seen a centre-back with the heading prowess of Faye in a Newcastle shirt in years - and Caçapa's tackling ability is second to none. Rozehnal, our back-up, is pacey and organised and Taylor is now fourth choice as apposed to first choice. How can you not say there is improvements there? The defense does play as a unit, in my opinion. Faye and Caçapa, up until's today freakshow, have combined well together - two very experienced centre-backs who are both no nonsense and know each others games. I'll use the Spurs game as an example - Faye dominated the air while Caçapa patrolled the game on the ground. The Spurs strikers didn't have a sniff. The wing-backs' quality is still in question, in my opinion, but i'm definitely encouraged by Enrique. Going forward atleast, i think he looks quite good. He can cross a ball and he has linked well with both Milner and N'Zogbia - who have both played infront of him this season. Defensively his positioning is questionable, same certainly goes for Beye, but there is masses of potential there. Who would you choose? Babayaro/Bernard, or Enrique? I'm really not sure about Beye, if i'm honest. I don't think i've seen enough. But his positioning looks a bit poor and he doesn't seem to know when to tackle. But, instead of a flabby Irish waster trundling up the wing and offering absolutely nothing - Beye races up and down and is a pure athlete. Certainly an improvement on last season. As for the midfield, again, we can talk about the squad. Best line-up last season was Milner (good) -- Parker (s***) -- Butt (decent, but not with Parker) -- Duff (s***) - i've excluded Emre from that because he was never in the team. That midfield was totally uncreative and just so inconsistent it was unbelieveble. We had only Milner who could provide anything from the wings, Matty Pattison, Albert Luque and an ageing Nobby Solano providing the only other real options. This season, yeah, it's been a bit uncreative at times - but atleast we've had decent options, and atleast we've actually got some drive and determination to actually play for each other in there. We've kept possession better. People can criticise Geremi's involvement but i think he's been quite important - certainly off the pitch. He retains the ball and keeps the play balanced. It's not as if he's like Parker and charging forward, then stopping and turning when 30 yards from goal. He hasn't lived up to expectation but it's nice to have him in the squad. We've just got Barton back, too, who's done nothing so far but is clearly unfit. I think he'll be a mint signing. The left-wing, Charles N'Zogbia. Jesus Christ, if you can't see an improvement here then i seriously question your footballing knowledge. Infact, i'm not even going to go into it. You're not stupid enough not to know that N'Zogbia's performances this season - piss and s*** and regurgitate in every manner - those of Duff's last season. Milner's been crap but he's f*****. He needs to be out of the team. The midfield plays with pace and drive, apart from when we play long-ball which, i agree - simply isn't working and needs to be forgotten about. But we've been supporting the strikers and playing for each other. Striking department: Martins/Dyer/Sibierski, to Owen/Martins/Viduka/Smith/Ameobi. Say no more. We're yet to find the perfect combination, but the quality of goals and suchlike are just so, so much better than those bundled in last season. Viduka's against West Ham, to expert finishes imo. Martins has improved considerably this season, i don't care what people say, he's improved. His movement is much better - see Bolton/Man City/Spurs goals, and he plays for the team more. I've discussed Martins too much so i'm not going to do so anymore. That's a fairly brief outline, cos it'd take me forever to go in-depth on our improvements this season, and i really can't be arsed. Sam has ripped the squad apart and started again and he's done very well so far. Have faith in someone who is actually a very good manager. He'll get it right eventually.

Jose would be a majic what Newcastle wants attention savy very talented and very good coach but having saying this I think Big Sam needs time at least until the summer or couple of years. He just need to stick to his guts and play on the best talented players rather than flipin players based on performance

Ditto

If you see BS Bolton team when they lose they lose with big margin. I think he bought that around along with his scintific approch to the game.

There is only problem to our team and it is simple we need 11 players and a settle side we change 5 players today and we were useless. It is sad but it seems Sam doesn't know what is his best team is it seems we need more time and we have to give it to him.

Jose Mourinoho

If we won I am pretty sure Big Sam was the best now just because we lost he is the worst common people have a perspective we are a simple mid table team who have a good potential to be a very good team so lets think about the whole perspective big sam is doing a good job and lets give him time.

I really want to say Ashley a big thank you the feel good factor came back at the club and it is really important to have that after Shepered. Still I belive we need world class players at this club but over the past 5 month things are moving on the right direction.

I wouldn't be disappointed but I am sure Big sam won't be a miracle man with England the only reservation I will have will be if he left he should live us on the summer months until then he should do both jobs togther. I would like to see Mourniho to be our manager next.

I would swap him with any of our strikers to be honest he is the best in my opinion and it was demonstrated last year when he was on team of season.

I hate Lawro....

If we need improvment on our away performance it is just we need to change the personel and the sysytem we have to able to play different players and different systems on away grounds.

i thought he would never ask. taxi for shola

Agree he was very effective for us up front he was good at giving passes for the other strikers to score.
