Ronaldo

I hate the finger pointing he does all the time. Blaming whoever passes the ball that he can't control. The cunt should be made to walk home up a railway line.

Useless and gutless. Tiote to Man U indeed.

Obertan should've come on for Ba, imo. Not that I thought Bigi had a great game but we completely surrendered the midfield when he went off.

Stoke game, Christ.

I was more p*ssed off after that game than the Villa game. There was actually a bit of magic in the air after that full time whistle, to be honest. The odd dickhead letting us down but we were generally all feeling the same pain and handling it with passion and dignity.

Urrgh, just seen NUST playing the 'Shearer turned you down' card in relation to this. It's exactly that kind of bullshit that cultivates the notion of our inflated self-perception in the first place. Over 16 years ago a great player signed for us - which didn't even result in an on-field improvement btw - like that's all we're about ffs. p*ss off you embarrassing set of small-time c***s.

Just a bully who can't take the slightest hint of criticism. No wonder his son turned out to be wife beating scum. Hope he rots in hell as soon as possible.

Ranger on Pardew's side? Hell has frozen over. Why wouldn't he be? Pardew's been too good to him imo.

I'll never stop loving Newcastle United, but the closest I've come to hating that fact was at full time against Fulham. Vividly remember throwing away a shirt and a scarf on the way to the exit. The worst day of a horrible 11 month period.

Cabaye's set pieces are nothing to shout about.

I'd leave Tiote out at home against the vast majority of sides.

aye mate, i'm sure if your employer treated you like s*** you'd think "oh well, i guess thats okay, seeing as they pay me" dosn't matter what agenda you've got against Shola, hes still a human being and an employee of the club, no need for a manager to do that in any organisation, which i doubt Pardew did. Shola's been treated like royalty here by just about everyone bar Allardyce and Keegan who knew exactly what his value to the club was.

To be fair, we looked a far worse outfit under Shearer than anyone else that season. The attacking players in particular looked like they didn't know each other during that awful 2 month period.

Fair point, but I think it's a bit of a misrepresentation to suggest Mourinho won the battle between the 2 of them, even if he did get 2 league trophies and a FA Cup in direct competition.

Plenty players have worked harder. The guy's virtually a fucking lottery winner.

We don't owe Shola owt, man. He gets paid around £150,000 a month to be useful twice a year.

Ba had to come off, to be fair. He's absolutely beyond useless in circumstances where you need to see out a game.

Until Ferguson took the title back and Mourinho was sacked a few months later.

I was convinced his career was over forever.

Fucking hate shit like this. Don't dismiss it: this nonsense permeates the whole setup and ruins morale.

At worst it's greed, at best poor decision making. Funnily enough I think Drogba suffered from it too at times, but he obviously had more to his game to make up for it. Namely that he had the most assists in the PL 2 years running.

don't believe this for a second myself, if we signed debuchy and douglas on 1st january i don't think it'd change his approach one iota I don't see why not, mate. There's being cautious and there's pissing points away.

Or someone that has more interest in scoring than winning. Not saying Ba isn't one but natural goalscorers don't always have to shoot.

Ashley owns the club. He has the final call, obviously.

He's like his brother when it comes to effort in his own half.
