Ronaldo

One place below where they are now.

We don't know what is being said, if anything. Sometimes you just give up as nothing you say will make a difference. They're the players, of course they can make a difference. Without them there's no club.

Yet their only form of rebellion seems to be costing us points we could kinda do with.

Problem with signing players cheaper than their actual value on the pitch is that it's rarely a reflection of how suitable they are as people.

I certainly hope he goes also along with every other coach involved in first team matters. Why feel sorry for him? He is lucky to be at a level miles above where he should be! Yep. Cheap, though.

Barton still gives more about this club than some players who have a place in our squad. Really? The same could be aimed at the players when playing under Joe Kinnear but a lot of those same players showed they cared about this club the next season to get us back up. Point I'm trying to make is the right leader can make a hell of a difference. Pardew clearly ain't a leader. Neither was Hughton. It's about having leaders on the pitch and intelligence in the dugout. We have neither.

Only a week ago some of them were asking for a wave.

To an extent the club does because the ownership clearly hasn't learnt a thing from 2009. Pretty poetic that Jonas is still starting games 4 years later and Shola is still Plan B. No ambition.

GM

The journalists are a big part of the problem, mind. All of them construct cliched defences for the ownership, model and Pardew like its part of their job description.

Best worked because he was unselfish and prepared to get his head and feed on the end of rubbish that would only result in chances for other players, not himself.

Tevez played for Liverpool?

Yeah, can't really disagree with those 3. Cabaye's always been overrated in here, mind. Lovely footballer but so limited physically.

Or maybe he's just a £3.5m substitute from the dutch league?

Well said. We were beaten before kick off with that pathetic lineup but the players on the pitch totally let us all down today. Too many of them escape criticism because they're frankly adored without having done a fucking thing in our shirt to deserve it.

That's why everyone went insane when we replaced Williamson with MYM.

Ferguson wanted him last summer for £20m. Or so someone on here said.

Taylor and Colo are the best combo we've got. MYM isn't up to this yet.

Coloccini and MYM. What a match they'll be for Carroll, Remy and Giroud. No thanks.

Nixon's a great lad but Wullie's right to an extent. Been on Ashley's side for ages.

Aye, he was on before the game saying that lots of people don't realise how injuries and the EL have hurt us. Don't listen to a word he says, ever.

Why not? We are exclusively talking about Englishmen? No. Who the hell are we talking about then?

I'll be ecstatic when this idiot and Jonas leave NE for good. Then we'll be making progress.

Why mention Duff then?

Yeah, when Stoke will still be on 40 points.
