Ronaldo

One of the worst sides in the Premier League based in the unfashionable North East and extremely frugal yet we can basically steal away any player from France who doesn't play for PSG. No wonder they hate us. We're a constant reminder of how inferior their league is.

Two completely different players who play in completely different positions with dissimilar attributes. It's stupid that there's any sort of 'either or' component to this, especially relating to Perez.

Basically we're comfortably the worst side in the league against teams who don't come at us.

Insulted, man.

The most notable occurrence of which coming when Lowes asked him if we were signing a striker a few weeks back.

Course. Just wish he had better things to do than play devil's advocate for the sake of wasting folks' time.

We've got arguably the worst defence in the league and no proven goalscorer available. Be quiet, Ian.

Is he fuck better than this. He'll sink as low as humanly possible to achieve his aims.

Tiote's proved time and time again that he's a defensive liability who contributes nothing in the opponent's half. He's got no place here, the odd good game in 20 not withstanding.

So Ujpest rates Riviere and thinks Wijnaldum's shite. Probably worth considering next time someone wastes their time debating with him.

3 We have 15 game left, were a point off Swansea and everything just got a lot tighter down the bottom, a couple of wins and we'd be out of it. Anything more then a 5 is pushing it imo. then again I may just be reading the scale wrong, as in my eyes an 7-9 means we a almost certainly down, which we currently are not. Spot on. People are very good at hyperbole. I wonder how quickly some people go from 0 to 10 and back again. If I thought we were 8/9, I'd be snapping the bookies hands off at the minute. The answer is not very quickly at all. We've been in the relegation zone nearly all season and on January 23rd it's abundantly clear we've still not addressed two of our main problem areas, nor do we seem to have plans to. NUFC54's worse than McClaren for the utter fucking bullshit when we get beat.

Christ. It's not what we expect from him, it's what we expect from our main striker. We aren't getting it from Mitrovic, we haven't all season and it's one of the primary reasons we look like going down.

£4m for Charlie Austin and we're stuck with this lad trying to be something he's years away from. We couldn't deserve relegation more.

Why? They watch this shit every other week and keep going. They're a joke.

We have been until today. Aye, 18th. Magnificent. Grow up man you fairy.

Coloccini turning his back on another goal. Quality.

Mitrovic again, man. They want fucking shooting for not having a striker through the door early in January.

He's not an excellent shot stopper anyway.

Fucking terrible effort.

He's just shit. End thread.

Agree 100%. A LB who isn't consistently at fault for goals is something we've actually not had for years. If he was good going forward with the ball too he'd not be a Newcastle player. He's the type of lad who knows he lacks talent but just wants to be on the winning side and is prepared to put himself on the line to make that happen. He obviously loves NUFC but isn't mawkish about it like that thick permacrock twat Taylor. The posters who have it in for him didn't make a peep when the LB we spent money (peanuts) on was giving away goals for fun.

yeah, I really do. seemed the players looked up to him and he was definitely very vocal on the pitch. He'd just arrived, man. Ba's goals, a defence that played a consistent line, Ben Arfa, Cisse's goals and luck with injuries got us 5th.

Aarons at LB ffs.

Cabaye's leadership?

Anita at his worst is a completely ineffective player. Tiote at his worst is like gifting a man and a one goal head start to the opposition.
