We never should have sold Faye like. Enrique - Faye - Bassong - Beye

I'm getting sick of our center midfield. No movement off the ball, no through balls, no runs into the box, no creativity at all. All we do is pass the ball to Jonas and hope he can dribble past 2-3 players and deliver a perfect cross to our 1.70m strikers. Our attacks are so slow and predictable that it's no wonder we aren't scoring, I've been looking at some old footage of the Bobby era and you'd think those games were played at the speed of light in comparison to our games today!

Great article, what a legend It's a damning indictment of the transfer policy over the past couple of years. Players with legs such as James Milner and Charles N'Zogbia have gone out, the likes of Kevin Nolan, Alan Smith and Joey Barton have come in. If you can't run, you can't play in the Premier League. Sums up our midfield.

Yeah wasn't sure about Bernard. At his best he was better than Enrique, though it went downhill for him pretty quickly.

Shearer Owen Robert - Speed - Dyer - Solano Enrique? - Woodgate - Bassong - Beye Given yes, no, maybe?

Duff??????? Instead of Robert then?

We are really running out of teams to catch. 6 points behind Stoke, 5 points behind Hull and Blackburn, 4 points behind Portsmouth (and they have a game in hand). Think it'll be a fight between the north-east clubs. Boro, us & Sunderland, 2 of these will go down.

12. Bolton 31 11 4 16 36:45 37 13. Stoke 31 9 8 14 31:47 35 14. Blackburn 31 8 10 13 35:50 34 15. Hull 31 8 10 13 35:52 34 16. Portsmouth 30 8 9 13 32:46 33 17. Sunderland 31 8 8 15 29:41 32 18. Newcastle 31 6 11 14 36:51 29 19. Middlesbro 31 6 9 16 22:46 27 20. W.B.A. 31 6 6 19 26:57 24

9 now. Teams above us winning, I reckon we're down if we don't win at Stoke.

1602: Boy do Newcastle need to win today - or at least avoid defeat. They've lost their last two matches at St James' Park and they've never lost three in a row at home in the Premier League. That is one Toon record Alan Shearer will not want to break.

0-1 THanks colo

Ballack coming on for Obi Mikel it seems

Nolan playing like he was carrying a half Viduka, Butt is more lively than him.

Jesus, great save Gomes.

I'm more annoyed over the Bramble and Faye last minute equalizers

Fucking hate how you never hear the bloody questions!

He did not say that. Yah he did

Kinnear will return in the summer as manager, wtf

6-1 Bolivia

And it means absolutely nothing, might aswell have started playing head tennis at 2-0. It's a tight group, goal difference might matter in the end. Games against the worst team don't count. I thought those games were crossed out only after the group stages when all the teams that finished second were compared against each other. Doesn't make sense to me that the team that does finish with a better goal difference after all the group games won't qualify.
