Brilliant...... although Tom Huddlestone... cheating cunt

Who are the biggest wankers amongst them? I'l start with Ashley Cole and William Gallas. Oh, and Mathieu 'Imaginary Card Waving Weasel Faced Cunt' Flamini Carvalho has pissed me off an awful lot since he came to the Premiership

And to think Allardyce is trying to get us to liken what Ramos is going at Spurs to what he was trying to do here

Just heard the Celtic fans booing at the final whistle. They are possibly the worst at claiming to be "The best fans on the world". Fucking hell. Its almost nailed on that they will win something else next year, then the year after, then the year after etc etc - if not even the title this year - so I think its fair to say they are all a bunch of spoilt cunts... And thats the ones that were there... loads of empty seats I saw.

Come on Man Utd (shudder)... but we need them to win... and by a decent margin

KK, Terry Mac and Chris Hughton there according to .co.uk

Isnt it live on Setanta (I dont have it so I cant tell you the score)

Couldn't agree more. 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2 in possession to 4-4-2 defending to a conventional 4-4-2 going forward and 4-5-1 defending. I though we were very fluid in formation and in the second-half the players looked capable of it. And both full backs had a really good second-half. Reading those last 2 posts actually gets me excited about the future.

I bet they had a chuckle when they decided to change that one. Bastards

Exactly. I hope the players dont assume they will be

Aye. I hope he isnt considering shunting Enrique out

As much as we deserve at the moment. On the whole yes but tonight we deserve a little credit. They could have even gone with "They have stopped the rot having lost the last 4 games with a well deserved point at Birmingham" but I guess thats too much for them to admit we deserved something out of a game. Pah.. I just hate the bastards thats all

Am loving how both Sky and the BBC are failing to see any positives in our performance (in light of how we usually collapse when going a goal behind) and instead are choosing to go along the "Newcastle STILL havent won under Keegan since his return" line.

I honestly didn't expect him to drop both Smith and Duff, he does deserve a Was definitely a bold move.

Why should he get praise for doing the obvious? Because I think some people doubted that he ever would and doubted that he had the ability to see what was going wrong. I just felt that with all the anti-smith stuff spoken about, it might have got more of a mention and about how it affected the team in general Hopefully puts the contract thing to bed too

The thread seems strangely void of (m)any "Well done Kevin for dropping Alan Smith" comments EDIT: Post Match comments

We lost to Blackburn so got no confidence from the game, we'll win on Saturday because Fulham are worse than we are, we're playing at home and we've got the confidence of our 2nd half and the point we picked up. We'll score first and dominate the game. Very confident and looking forward to the game already. I am already worried about too much confidence too soon. They will have some re-newed confidence through their win at the weekend and theri decent record up here + they will have dozens of fans cheering them on

Yes, perhaps you're failing to take into account the fact that we are, in general, quite s***. What are you expecting from this lot of players? im expecting them to pick a pass.... and deliver it ... competantly Come on man. Players confidence is shot to s***. One step at a time. We got a point and move on to Fulham. Get 3 at home to them on Saturday and we will begin to see the players basic technical ability getting back to normal standards I dont want to make excuses for them because I get frustrated at the lack of basic skill as much as anyone, but the lack of confidence has to be taken into consideration. Also coupled with a huge fear factor tonight - dont under-estimate the pressure on them out there tonight that dont matter anymore... big fuckin' hairy balls does... nowt less.... this team aint got fuck all like that Eh ?

"The game is about opinions"... is a well over used cliche in football. This thread proves the point completely about how extreme different fans' opinions can get.

Oh dear. only 3 points off 3rd bottom.. I can see a sticky end to the season for them.

Goals are what put a smile on Owens face so with that one tonight, I am hoping he is going to go into Saturdays game hungry for more..

I didnt get to see the game... what were the players celebrations like... look like a bunch of lads who are in it together ?

Trying to tell myself that tonight is just the first step to recovery and to not assume that 3 points is a given on Saturday. Cant help but think we have a great chance to ease the pressure. I just wish McBride wasnt fit again

Yeah. Even had a little laugh at the Martins incident saying "I wont take him off again". Good to see. Hopefully this will transfer to the players in training over the next coupdle of days and then on to the pitch on Saturday
