In some ways the relegation system is a blessing. I probably wouldn't even be watching anymore if we weren't in mortal danger.

If Xisco was the one doing what Ameobi's doing for us right now, he'd be as loved as Jonas. Shola gets so much stick for... well.. being Shola.

Great. Fantastic. They can set up a goal. That'll make us a driving force. One f***ing goal. The thing is they may do one or two things, but it doesn't contribute to the game as a whole. Every time they get the ball, it pretty much ends with a "Duff runs around in circles, and loses the ball" or a "Ameobi...gives the ball away/fouls his man/heads the ball to the keeper". Everyone is going to have a decent spell/moment in a game, but it doesn't make them a good player. Fair enough, it's harsh to criticise for their contribution to the goals, but Jonas and Owen would no doubt have done the same in their positions. I agree that they're both squad players in an ideal world, but given the sorry state I'm in I think the agenda people have against them is misguided given they're contributions. Besides, the bit about Ameobi is just blatantly false. I know it's just Shola, but take off your shit-tinted glasses and look at what he's been doing for us lately.

what I really want to know is what Kinnear says to the lads at halftime to make them play better, and why he can't just say it before the match.

You've got it all wrong. The club will be sold, and then the owners will fall out with the manager by next season, declare us unmanagable, and strip us for assets and get us relegated to the Championship. Newcastle United never implodes the simple way.

As pretty as Jonas makes it all look, Duff was contributing more today. Given that Kinnear is sitting there on the pitch watching these players, and that he's an actual football manager which all of us or not, I'm willing to trust his decision on the subs. Duff and Ameobi set up the equalizer for Owen. Bit harsh to single them out for criticism.

Mike Ashley, Please sell the god damn club. Thanks.

Sunderland? Unbeaten at home, isn't he?

no doubt West Brom will grab a win tomorrow just to keep it interesting.

well, thanks to the point at least we wont' be cut adrift by the inevitable 6-0 beating we'll get at Chelsea.

I'm guessing 17th

Titus not celebrating. Some how that feels like an insult.

FUCK.

ok lads let's hold on for five minutes now.

OBA I LOVE YOU

I don't see how anyone who's been watching this game from start to finish could remain sane and rational.

have to say that's the most cathartic goal I've seen in a while.

Great long range effort from Shola to set up the goal.

OWENNNNNNNN!#@$IU)O{($J#@OP{$OP#@I$J

we really have turned the 1-0 loss to Wigan into an art form.

we're having a goal attempt ever three minutes, not hitting a single fucking one though.

how the FUCK does he miss that.

not sure how much good putting on the two most disinterested players in the squad is going to do us at a pivotal moment in our season.

Proof Kinnear is reading NO. Odds on him taking Jonas off just to spite us?

Enrique launches the worst long range effort of teh decade.
