Even Keegan loved Butt and saw him as a key guy in our team with bags of experience. It's depressing.

If we end up with Appiah and he ends up recovering completely it would be one hell of a story and a pretty sweet coup.

This is disgusting. Just disgusting. Can you imagine the shape he is in right now? Disgusting.

Worthless guy. It was criminal to bring him in with his fitness record and at his age. To think we could have taken a punt on someone like Santa Cruz instead. Oh well ...

It's so hard to be taken seriously because everyone thinks it's only said because he left Newcastle, but he is a very average to poor footballer. He also has no character or leadership qualities. To actually make him captain was an unbelievable decision.

Pretty much. The bright lights of London along with it's many distractions and a manager not nearly as demanding/intimidating as Hughes and hey presto ... party time and ponsy hair.

Huge target on Man City's back now. Feel the heat Hughesy, feel that heat.

Bramble is going to be chasing his tail all day long ... Robinho will have him in fits. Surely Scharner should be at centre back ahead of Bramble?! Other then Bramble and maybe Cattermole, Wigans lineup is quite impressive. Kapo and Valencia out wide with Heskey and Zaki upfront is pretty impressive. Palacios through the middle as well. Very well put together in those areas.

I love Amr Zaki's style. Just a great move by Bruce to get him in.

Jenas has to be the worst captain in the premier league. How can he possibly captain the side ahead of Woodgate. Jenas is quiet and he hides the majority of games. Terrible decision. Spurs best player right now is Jamie O'Hara.

Tottenham groupies where art thou I ask thee????? Bunch of baloney. Captian Jenas? Laughable.

Come on! Every player brought in has pretty much shown a good amount of promise. Whose to say more of the same wouldn't have come in if Keegan wasn't fighting to hold onto Barton, Alan Smith and Milner? Wasn't someone also saying that Keegan was the one who wanted to sell Faye because of a disagreement between the two last season? Mental if true.

Reverse psych. Works everytime.

Owen will be injured. We will miss the penalty.

The majority of our players are pretty much bastards. They're just reminding us how bad they really are both in terms of ability and character. They will pretty much take any excuse they can to not to do their jobs. They're taking advantage of the situation at the club as an excuse not to deliver on the pitch. Bastards. At the end of the day they are getting paid a hell of a lot of money to play for Newcastle United and not Kevin Keegan. They're is noe excuse for this poor of a performance. Ever. This is the squad Keegan said only needed a few changes to at the end of last season? Bunch of bollox. I despise the majority of them immensely. It's part of the reason I wished Ashley had managed to clear them all out when he wanted to and bring in younger hungrier players. They have all gone so stale. They are pathetic.

I blame Steven Taylor personally. Everything is his fault.

The guy has basically confirmed that the club is definitely set to be sold early next week and the takeover should go on till around the end of October. Therefore, the fans have what they want. Joe is basically just stepping in till this whole process is completed, as Houghton is struggling mightily. I'm not disgusted at all, well I am, but only by Daves coming out party. Good luck to Joe. He's a good guy, and I admire him a whole lot for doing this. It would be hilarious if he won all his games and had us playing like Brazil. Wonder whta would happen then ...

Well at least he is brave enough to get himself involved in this mess. Personally, I appreciate the fact he's willing to come in and try to help us out, considering the number of other managers who are unwilling to do so. Cheers Joe and all the best. p.s. Keep Taylor and Butt on the bench and my heart is yours.

Yao Ming as our target man.

The vibe is so bad at the club right now that it seems everything is just imploding.

It's such a cruel joke. How come Butt never gets injured? Or Taylor? We are one Owen injury away from never winning another game this season.

I actually think we are getting relegated this season. Lord have mercy on us. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/newcastle/article4828587.ece

What makes me sick to my stomach is that as long as we continue to employ British managers they will continue to put Taylor in the first team when he clearly isn't good enough. We all make so much fun of Dawson but Taylor is essentially the same level of player. It's embarrassing. But hey! He's a Geordie so he understands the club and should be in the first team. He's an England under 21 international so therefore he must be good enough right? He has prem experience and therefore he will surely do better than the foreignersright? Whatever happened to just using your freakin' eyes to recognise he is a bloody mess out on that pitch and instills no confidence in anyone. It was so bloody easy. All we had to do was keep Faye and pair him with Coloccini to form what would have been a respected centre back pairing. How we messed it up I will never know. Faye was a cheap purchase who couldn't have been on major wages. Why sell him? Just so we could have the young Geordie in the team. Well he sucks and he will not be gettign any better. Still looks exactly the same as he did when he first came into the team, if not slightly worse.

Brilliant point. Not to mention that this is his first season in the prem and he has hardly made any starts AND he was out of position at left back, where he clearly isn't as comfortable, although he clearly did a better job there than N'Zogbia has been doing. His flaws where in his attacking play and distribution, but right now it is more important that we are solid defensively and he was very good defensively.
