Yes, another wonder goal if I recall correctly. Just read last seasons match report on nufc.com. "Onyewu's block on Baines towards the left edge of the box gave the Latics a free kick from which allowed Ryan Taylor to rifle home a free kick reminiscent of the effort by Didier Drogba that removed us from the Carling Cup last year. Question marks remain over Given's position". Same old, same old (minus Onyewu). Sigh. At least Onyewu was funny.

I've had more fun root canals than this.

Yes, another wonder goal if I recall correctly.

Augh. The pain. Why. Please make it stop.

Literally the only reason I'm happier than I was under Roeder is because we now arguably have the best owner and chairman in the league.

Scenario 1: Allardyce in anti-Newcastle vendetta Scenario 2: Players completely turned against Allardyce Scenario 3: Whatever, we're just fucking cursed. Take your pick.

Seriously, I think Big Sam wants out and has just decided to screw everything over until Ashley will pay him off and show him the door. It's arguably even worse than Roeder. Aye, we were horrible back then, but the preformances right now feel like we're deliberately being made to play bad. I'm just completely flabbergasted. What's going on?

for fuck's sake, it's like Sam has been payed to deliberately sabotage us. Why the fuck are we so horrible. I just can't understand it.

Brain agrees with everything Brummie said. Heart just wants to go out and die.

Shorter, faster Ameobi? plays complete shit but nicks a few lucky goals here and there which makes his goal/games ratio decent. (I'm only half joking, btw)

transition season, results will spike, shouldn't expect better than mid table etc. [panic] God, oh God, why WHY WHY are we so bad. I just can't take it anymore: the pain of seeing us serve up shit week in and week out is just tearing up my insides :banghead: [/panic] ...So umm... Yeah, back Big Sam till the summer I guess.

About 4-5? Even defenders net 1~2 a year. He should get a few headers from corner kicks and one or two lucky long shots I think.

We could just play Taylor or Geremi there. Neither would be an absolute disaster I think. Oh f***, Geremi is off to the ACN too. We won't be forced to play Carr so no worries. If Taylor gets crocked again, we may have to play Carr.

a Agreed. I don't think he was as bad as some made out. Always gave 110%. If he doesn't stick around here i bet he'll do Ok somewhere else. Aye. He'll likely drop down from PL level and do alright. I felt sorry for him when he was getting stick for playing at left-back - he was gash there obviously, but what's he going to do if he's asked to play there? Thing is he's not a defender with compulsive concentration problems like Bramble and Boumsong, he IS perfectly capable of playing 90 minutes without fucking up. It's just that his technical ability and defensive positioning aren't good enough for the PL, I think he'd do quite well and Norwich. (although we shouldn't assume that they'll be snapping up all of our rejects just because Roeder is there)

Would be willing to be part with just about any reasonable sum of money for something honoring Sir Bobby. I agree that stand-naming should probably be reserved for people with a longer career with a club. The youth academy idea sounds good to me.

right, you need an LB, not a physio room decoration. could we interest you in versatile Fullback and former senior international Steve Carr?

Smith dosent deserve to be dropped Why not give him full 90 minutes tomorrow so he can get a goal and some confidence. Viduka should be our last option in attack. http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/Smileys/Lots_O_Smileys/laughs.gif Even if he dont score a single goal for rest of the season but still plays the passionate style like he did against Arsenal, i still would prefer him instead of Fatman Scoop. Viduka hasnt showed a shiiiit, he just looks fat and tired. wholeheartedly disagree on the viduka comment What kind of a message do we send in this time of revival if we drop or most passionate player though. Unless Smith is really knackered from Wednsday, he has to start.

It's not a matter of who we can afford though, it's a matter of who would come here. Purely money-wise, we could probably afford Ronaldinho if he was for sale. But he would never come here. Matt Taylor seems like about the level of player we could realistically attract

Well, Big Sam clearly hasn't forgotten how to make Wenger hate him. Excellent preformance. Deserved to win, but I'll take a point and be glad about it. Let's get the season going now. ....just hope we don't lose to Birmingham this weekend and start the whole merry-go-round all over again.

Big Sam's been giving the lads some good acting lessons I see

Adebayor's dive looks even worse on the replay. Does he seriously think we'll believe that N'zogbia knocked him over without using his hands? He's probably got three stone on him ffs

Alan Smith deserves to get a goal... He hasn't scored in the prem for how long?

it's always quiet in the last ten minutes. Everybody busy praying we'll score

Actually, wouldn't that be a signal of Smith playing right wing?

Don't think an average striker will end up scoring while we're dominating posession like this. If anyone nicks a goal for Arsenal, I can't see beyond Adebayor. Legitimately as good as Drogba now. Hardly. Aye, this isn't the place, but that's balls, mate. I'm actually dead serious. Somebody want to start a thread? =p No. Not bothered enough to start one myself either. There are slightly more important things going on right now anyway.
