Underestimate Portsmouth at your own peril. They are definitely for real.

The commentator also referred to Dawson as a Colossus! Say what?!

Spurs make me smile They are tremendously bad.

I really wish he scored a few more goals so he could be a maintstay in the first team. Huge captain potential.

Loved Alan Smith today. He leads by example and it definitely affects the whole team positively, especially when he plays upofront. If we could just add some more goalscoring players around him he will look an even better player. He really does a great job of allowing others to come into play.

Two games in a row now we have approached things the right way. It really is a great sign. There's no doubt Sam has given them a bit more freedom to be more positive. Lets hope Sam is adapting and mixing things up a bit more and realising he doesn't have to be quite as defensive as he was at Bolton.

Martins with the sexy little fake! That was great.

Alan Smith does a really great job as a centre forward. I know he doesn't score enough but still. I like him a lot. EDIT: Taylor!

Really beginning to show his class. His fitness is definitely right up there now. You can see he's got his legs under him and he is really playing well.

Rozehnal sometimes has a bad habit of sticking his leg out when people run at him rather than staying in front of them and running with them.

Very proud of the team so far. Alan Smith from now on should be played upfront . I love the way he links up and plays little passes quickly without dwelling on the ball. If everyone on the team played the ball as quickly we would be a much better team. We should keep Smith upfornt and continue to work with him to get him into dangerous scoring positions a bit more often and maybe he will even start scoring a bit more regularly. Well done on the whole

and you know it's all true because ? kaka out,tabloid believer. madras out! prima donna sucker upper!

This for me has been the biggest problem at Newcastle for years. The players have been ruling the roost. It is probably why, if for no other reason, Sam was a good appointment. These players disgust me. They are in the entertainment business and for the money they get paid I don't think they have the right to even question staying in London at all. The nature of their jobs means they are at home all the tie anyway and are hardly ever away from their families. Shut up and get on with it. NBA players for example actually play games on Christmas day! I know a lot of people are unhappy with Alan Smith and even Barton but I think it was important to bring players like them to this club as there is no doubt in my mind that their attitude and commitment will be far more positive in these types of situations. Given it seems has another agenda and has been acting up since Sam let it be known that he wouldn't be the number 1 goalie by default. Given out! He hsould concentrate on his game as he has been crap lately anyway.

All seems okayish it appears We really do have to get rid of some of the players who are being disruptive though. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/newcastle/article2994786.ece

Don't think any keeper in the world would've got that! What a f****** goal! I know that but still

Robinson beaten from range again!

Ramos out!!! :lol: Ex-Arsenal Larsson. Stunning goal.

Shearer is going to need a hell of a lot of support if this happens but who will he get it from? His pal Mike Newell is free so we might see him come in in some capacity. How about buying players though? That will be huge. Will he have a decent knowledge of players outside of the premiership? Or a decent enough network?

Rubbish, even by your standards. He gets beaten from distance with monotonous regularity. No keeper in the world could have saved the free kick today. If that makes it easier for you to accept then believe it. Hmmmm ... we do seem to concede these 'amazing no keeper in the world could have stopped that' goals when Shay is in goal. Elano, Pamarot, Gerrard and now 2 from Bentley.

British manager with an unbelievable amount of experience around the world managing in different countries and generally enjoying a good amount of success. Why is he seemingly so unappreciated? Not even linked with the England job. I mean he has even managed Inter Milan for goodness sake. Can someone shed some light on this? What's this guys deal?

Hodgson as director of football to oversee things?

No Faye, Cacapa or Taylor. Beye and Roz at CB the majority of the game and Carr at RB we have to take this into account regarding our defensive performance today.

Exactly. The performance will not be remembered or even mentioned, especially now it has gone to 3 - 1. At 2 - 1 though it is going to get ugly as the press is going to love going with the Sam under pressure story. No one will remember that Faye went don which was the absolute killer today.

FFS take the balck and white glasses off mate, all season we have been s****, sneaked points here and there and been atrociuos away from home. FFS we even managed to lose to a s**** Derby team The players Allardyce has brought in have been s**** the defence is no better than last season and we pilloried the likes of Bramble Ramage Huntington et all Some people on here want to wake up grow up and smell the coffee We are mediocre and always will be until we ditch useless clueless bastards like big sam Let us know when you have Mourinho lined up.
