Competition from Watford.

That's the thing. We're essentially playing 2 defensive midfielders if Jonas and Tiote are in there. One of which can't really defend much.

3:40 - 4:00, man.

Kinnear as boss was like a movie that's so bad it's rather entertaining.

Explains why he was outjumped late in the evening then. We should insist he does a Lennox Lewis and wakes up half an hour before competing.

You can actually make both arguments with that fact. We were a far bigger threat when he wasn't scoring.

Looking quite grey and short. Big smiles with a pretty, milfish little thing.

Indeed.

He deserves a lot of credit for scoring 8 goals in that side, but he's hurting us with his first touch lately. That and his recurring problem - being totally and utterly fucked after 65 minutes.

And I'm on a Trafford Centre roll. The greatest LB and RB ever to grace the PL doing a bit of shopping in a grey cardigan earlier.

At his best I'd rather have him than any version of Taylor, which is what I think Tooj is getting at.

Why didn't Marveaux come on tonight? Much better option than Sammy ffs. I think Marv would have got brushed off the ball too easily. He went for a bit of strength and height. A footballer probably would've been better, mate.

Yes. For now, at least, the faith needs to be kept.

Who are these Ashley fans you keep mentioning? Ian W, perhaps.

We're a joke for not having anyone better, is what I meant.

Can't we just build the team around him, please?

Sammy's so far away from this level it's no longer funny. Lots of potential but come on, what a joke we are putting players like him and Ranger on when we need a goal - neither of them has ever done it, for a start.

Not watched any of it since Cisse scored with his arse.

He said we were better? Jesus.

The same should go for all Newcastle fans, it doesn't stop people liking or not liking people associated with the club at any level. The same doesn't go for all fans, and you know it.

Some of the most shameless backpedalling from you of late after the way you've spent the last eighteen months up the man's arse. No backpeddling whatsoever. He's done a good job and I like him and don't want him sacked. Doesn't mean I can't criticise because he's done a dreadful job of late. Thing is, neither of us wanted him appointed and only one of us was truly prepared to get behind him as NUFC manager. Why would anyone get behind someone who clearly wasn't good enough? It is to NUFC supporters' eternal shame that we didn't give this plum the reception that Benitez got at Chelsea. We clapped along and beat Liverpool and enough mugs convinced themselves that he was up to it. That's ridiculous. You'd rather we barracked him off the pitch and ruin the already low chance of any decent manager wanting to work with us for all eternity? Not to mention negating the entirety of last season. Wullie has wanted him to fail at all costs since the moment he was appointed. f*** knows what we'd have ended up with had Pardew not taken the job. Er... the manager we had? Oh yeah. He's s*** isn't he? Yet even with Norwich's plodders, another man's team, he's two points ahead of the "upgrade" who has a team full of internationals at his disposal, having already seen off Man Utd and Arsenal. Just admit you were wrong mate, everyone already knows it. I never wanted him to fail, I just knew that he would and therefore didn't want him here. He's Alan Pardew ffs. When I want him sacked I'll say it and hold my hands up. My allegiance is to my club, not Pardew, Hughton or any other undistinguished manager prepared to work under these c***s.

Why can't he go back on his word and stick Ba on the left of a front 3 ffs!? He's too scared to upset Ba. Weak management. I can only think Ba made legitemate threats during the summer.
