Until the panel is the same every week we will get no consistency. Personally, I don't believe there should be any right of appeal against the decision of the matchday official. Only serves to undermine their authority. Just accept the decision and get on with it.

I just love these hindsight merchants. The vast majority of the clubs supporters - and on here - fully supported the sales of all these 4 players. And for what its worth, I agreed with the sale of Jeanarse and the sale of Dyer, being a massively underachieving prick for the club, who had pace but ended up with a terrible attitude whereby he was just no use to us anymore. I would not have sold Robert and Bellamy though, particularly Bellamy, and I had loads of grief for saying so at the time on here too. There is no hindsight here mate. Like SBR, a true football genius, I defended Dyer and Jenas while they were here because I rated their ability and athleticism, while narrow-minded cunts (no one in specific I should add) carried out hate campaigns online and offline which made it inevitable they would leave. I said so at the time, if you like, I can find the posts, assuming they are still searchable. well, as has been said by others, selling Jeanarse was a good deal at the time. He had no future at Newcastle left, and neither did Dyer. Having ability is a totally different thing to performing and showing it. In both of their cases, they were shot, didn't produce anymore and weren't going to. Also, we don't see them every week so they seem better than they are. Witness people bigging-up Titus Bramble this season

Well yeah, but it'll only be good if we get wins. If we go down it will fucking devastating. I'd much rather be 9th now and getting meaningless wins.

The wrong time to drop Owen IMO, he's been getting in good positions and is just a bit of luck away from winning us some games.

It's funny how nothing further has happened yet Louise has another subject to write about. Even though I'm a web editor I fear the internet might be the end for decent journalism - 24 hours and infinite column space to fill, crap is bound to be generated to fill the gap

So you can't predict anything, but if we need someone to escape from somewhere you're the man?

Usually I would be hoping for Reading and Fulham to stay up, as they're the southern games I go to while I'm down here. Not this season though, I wouldn't shed a tear if both go down at the moment!

Keep the faith

I feel sick after today, but it is good that it is in our own hands with games against the bottom teams. Also, it looks like less than 40 points will be OK to stay up. Even though Reading won today, they are very poor at the moment and lets hope that's a blip rather than the start of a revival. Never been this worried about football.

Your guess is as good as mine, although I don't rate Shola premier league class he would have surely knocked in 3 or 4 by now.

Who said we were the greeks anyway?

Love it, haway the lads! Umm... let's not forget that the Greeks lost that one in the end. I can't see Keegan making any changes from last week. Aye, but they sacrificed their lives, so at least we'll get rid of Smith, Butt and Carr.

Sadly a lot of toon fans will believe it as well... we aren't above being sucked in by media drivel.

On the subject of simpsons lookalikes, Monty Burns and Dimitar Berbatov?

Stick to your guns lads!

I was quite surprised with how well he's been doing to be honest, thought he would flop immediately. Although from what people have been saying even some of their victories have been less than convincing.

Wouldn't you be annoyed if you were KK? 'Little setbacks' means only 3 days training since Keegan's return? Pathetic. As an outsider looking in, it seems like Viduka signed on for one last big payday and not a lot else. Yep, that's what I was saying, I just meant the little knocks and niggles that have continually 'stopped him training'.

Love it, haway the lads!

Also sounds like KK is annoyed with these little setbacks and the lak of training Viduka is doing... doubt he would mention it in those terms if he thought it was just one of those things.

And we won't get into Europe if we don't build the squad, in numbers as well as in quality.

Hmm, I'd like to try Futsal actually... looks good.

I love five-a-side and seven-a-side, much better than full teams IMO. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't play football at all any more. Can't kick the ball far, but I'm good in tight spaces!

I was clutching at straws to be fair, I can't explain it either...

I bet he looks like he's in great form in training though, closing people down, working hard, getting the odd blasted goal. Might be enough to convince managers he is just about to come good?

If we beat someone else at home, then someone else at home a week or two after we'll be alright.
