Do we have one player that isn't totally rancid at crossing the ball?

Not sure we're playing a high line in general. They were countering.

We can break both the no away win jinx and the no winning from behind jinx if we win today.

Arsene's zipper almost makes this whole ordeal worth it

Beginning to remember how ridiculously frustrating 90 minutes of Obertan is

Neither side looks remotely capable of doing anything. I suppose I'll take that.

You have a small time view of the club you are supposed to support - read CP 40s post..... Incidentally, the US IS scared of N Korea because they know they would have to nuke them to be sure of winning...and risk the same in return. Nah, Newcastle United is a wonderful club, I just think it's wonderful on its own merits. It doesn't need to be one based on some sort of fabricated relationship with Man United. We were threatening to them once almost two decades ago. We have never been anywhere near their level since and won't be for the forseeable future barring some sort of miracle or mass calamity. The idea that anyone related to Man United would live in any sort of "pathological fear" of Newcastle is quite frankly laughable.

Ferguson scared of us Probably about as much as the US is scared of North Korea. Probably less.

The fact that he considers this "over the top media bashing" is in itself a pretty damning indication of the magical fairytale world certain Man United fans live in

We won't sign him lock the thread

Where's the Michael Jackson popcorn gif when you need it

Ferguson has also singlehandedly make me like Pardew again

What a fucking senile cuntbag

It would be nice to not have to see Williamson as much, but RB is a key strategic weakness for us. We mostly play without any traditional wide players, so we need our fullbacks to overlap often and provide width. Just look at how often Simpson is involved in our attacks despite the fact that it doesn't suit his skillset. Now imagine we had someone who could actually run with the ball and cross in his place. The club is aware of this, which is why Debuchy was priority one in the summer and why I hope he or another attacking RB will continue to be the first thing we look at moving forward.

In the end getting relegated turned out to be a good thing for the club, so thanks for being useless Joe.

Good job. If he continues on this rate of improvement he may manage to be as average as Routledge was for us by the end of the season.

On a separate note, you know you've conditioned yourself properly as a football supporter when you've killed your expectations for January transfer windows to the point where you don't even realize they're coming. I was just looking at my calendar when I realized "huh, we can buy players in five days?"

We have no right to slate Man United supporters for being glory hunters. For the one Korean Scunthorpe United supporter that I'm sure exists somewhere on this Earth, I'm probably just as much of a glory hunting cunt. It's all relative. What I do hate is people who purport to 'support' Man U when in reality they just follow the brand name. They'll never go to a game, hell, they won't even watch the games if they have anything better to do. The club barely touches them emotionally at all but for them Man U is a successful brand that they just want as part of their image, like wearing an Armani suit or driving a Mercedes. These very same people are almost unerringly the most arrogant and belittling towards supporters of other clubs. They are scum of the Earth and should be rounded up, put into a labor camp, and forced to watch Stoke v. Stoke Reserves for the rest of their natural lives. Froggy, however, is clearly not one of these.

Thanks for popping up just to have a dig. That wasn't petty at all. You a mate of Ashley's like? I'd say that was an incredibly mild dig compared to what is deserved. Jesus fucking Christ man, this forum. I (grudgingly) agreed with our transfer policy on principle several months ago based on the information that was available at the time. Turns out things didn't work out. That doesn't make me "deserving" of petty insults, nor does it make me an Ashley supporter. At least we agree on the fact that this part of the forum is a fucking piece of shit when the team isn't playing well.

If he was our manager he would have been sacked 25 years ago.

It's ridiculous. Especially given how well he took the 3-0 last season. When you win all the fucking time it should be the easiest thing in the world to be a gracious loser. His weekends get ruined about twice a season FFS. Nah, I imagine being a Man United fan is horrible. If you win, it's job done ho hum. If you lose or draw, it's OMG my week is ruined.

I think the best thing I can say about him is that he's better than any right-back we played during the Roeder era with the exception of Solano out of position.

I'm mostly just praying "muscle and not bone"
