All he had to do was not moan about money all the time and go on about the owners in the media regarding this. I honestly felt he would have still been in the job had this been the case. Lost his right to even ask for money after spending £3.5 million on Earnshaw and givin up on him so quickly. He's a twat and he deserved to be ditched.

Idiot manager tbh. Always moaning about not having money despite blowing a decent amount on Earnshaw and then never playing him! Couldn't stand his moaning and whinging. Glad he's gone.

Excellent point. Very disturbing that Sam has not been able to point out something so simple. It's an absolute joke.

Yakubu is lazy for sure but he is still a major threat. He is quick and strong and can finish in a variety of ways.

I've watched both games today and West Ham and Fulham are passing the ball around much better than we do ... how can this be possible?

Don't get me wrong Viduka is a good player but have you seen our midfield lately? Downing and Yakubu were really important for Viduka last season and none of our players are playing at their level this season. Not even coming close. In order to conjure up something out of nothing he at least needs the ball right? Somewhere close to the goal at least. This is happening less and less each game. Perhaps I went overboard with my choice of words but at the moment his contribution in this pitiful team is nil.

Viduka really was a terrible signing. He's the kind of striker you should only have if the rest of the team is very quick, athletic and active and can do all the running around and create opportunities for him in dangerous situations. He is absolutely worthless for us. Completely and utterly so ...

2 - 1 to Fulham and Fulham are playing some lovely stuff. I think they actually play better football than us :-[

Makes you think, why the f*** can't my team play like that, doesn't it. aye Really is amazing how scared we are to pass the ball and it's been this way for too long now. Forget Everton! Teams like Reading, Birmingham, West Ham and even Fulham are passing the ball with more confidence than we are. I don't like to blame the fans because they're well within their right to boo if what is being served up is dross, but I do think the effect it has on players, especially new lads is underestimated. Except we were doing this from the outset of the season even when optimism was sky high.

Kept Arteta in his back pocket the majority of the game against Everton. He's been good but today he was poor. Seems to be too clever for his own good sometimes and I think his lax passing and his poor final ball is down to the lack of movement from our players rather than just him being inaccurate. Aye fair point about the movement, but he needs to be overlapping N'Zogbia more. Whether that is an instruction from Allardyce I don't know - Geremi moreso seemed to treat the halfway line like a brick wall that he wasn't allowed to pass. quite often it's hard to overlap someone who is getting the ball too wide or is going inside........n'zogbia''s positioning is the worst part of his game. any full back playing behind him isn't going to form an easy partnership. Excellent point. Zoggy ruins every good thing Enrique tries to do. Never gives Enrique the return ball but instead puts his head down and dribbles into a defender thus losing the ball. Zoggy was disgustingly bad today.

Wow ... shocked by this thread. He's done some really good things and done some not so good things. Looks very promising in my opinion. Looks like he will be a good player eventually for sure.

Viduka is a good player but his signing really surprised me. He was never going to work as a cebtre forward in an Allardyce team. i really can't imagine what Sam was thinking. It's quite a mess it really is.

We really do have to clear out all the left over players from before. They are all losers and their attitudes stink. I have no doubt it is the likes of Duff and Carr who were clearly way out of shape last season who are now having a moan. It's quite disgusting really.

So with the players disgruntled already and the fans carrying on like they did today is it going to be possible for Sam to weather the storm? The players will only be more of a pain now as they will no doubt lose even more respect for the manager having seen the extent to which the crowd turned on him today.

Don't think anyone spotted this from this mornings paper. Our recent performances are beginning to make more sense now ... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/newcastle/article2933696.ece Very worrying if this is the reason for the players apparent lack of effort. I think Sam has struggled and made a mess of things and I won't be sad to see him go, but for the players to be complaining about training being too hard?! The players certainly have to take some heat too. Quite unnacceptable.

Norwich beat Coventry today ... Two assists for our very own Matty Pattison!

The thing is though, Sam wasn't their guy so it's a bit different. Why should they stick with him? They were probably very smart not to give him a lot of money in the summer. They haven't backed him a lot with funds so why deal with this mess? Surely they would be a lot more comfortable dealing with whatever the situation was if they had their man in charge right? This is Freddy's mess. You could argue we need to make a complete break from the past regime now.

England managers are utterly and completely useless ... No more English managers please. All bloody useless and just don't earn their money. All "passion" and jumping up and down but don't know a damn thing about the game. Yeah, let's just keep blaming all the foreigners because they are 100 times better.

SAM OUT!!! Where is Fat Fred when you need him?

Gerrard ... "Yeah, it was quite comfortable"

I think what you mean is why is Sam at this club?

Wow ...

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I honestly can't help but laugh at this now! Allardyce is too defensive minded, too negative and too cynical. We are down two goals but he is still worried about conceding so he takes off Zoggy and Emre when he should be taking off Geremi and Butt if anything. Honestly I can't back Sam anymore. Whatever happens happens but I don't necessarily think we have to give him time anymore.
