I think he will play

One of my go-to responses, that Good for him. Glad he said it. Fans can give so should be able to take

Well, no-one has said it didn't, and we all know how much the club love to release statements whenever there's a hint of mistruth. At very best, TheGuv has put a wildly inaccurate account of the conversation out there for the evil agenda he obviously holds, and Elliott doesn't even care enough to dispute it or put the record straight. Whatever sand you want to put your head in really. For me, everytime I see him let a soft as s*** goal in down the centre of his goal I just can't get away from the idea that he thinks he's only playing for Newcastle and it's not important. I know that's a bit unfair, but he's let the suggestion get out there and I can't shift it. Eh I'm not sure if I read the same thing- is there a link? What I read said he thought we should be a top 8/9 team... Which pretty much is what we should be surely with this lack of investment , surely he was being a realist... Do you have a link to the bit that you mean? "His argument was that the Newcastle fans think they deserve to be in the Champions League by rights and we need to know our level. I disagreed. ‘Where should we be then?’ he asked. I replied that just a bit of fight, belief and trying to play games with attacking intent could secure a higher PL finish than we’ll ever achieve with cowardly football and tactics. ‘Na’, he says. ‘8th or 9th is our level." (copied and pasted, so for the record I have correctly used quotation marks this time!) In isolation I wouldn't disagree that 8th or 9th is our level with this squad. However, to paraphrase Chris Rock It's the context in which it is said which is important. The context being that this is on the back of an appalling run of form which has seen us plummet from a very positive position of 5th to around 10th by getting beat lots to nil every week. The context that the person saying this is a professional footballer in the team, who it seems has decided to use an insulting old-hat cliche about fans expectations to absolve himself and his horrible manager of any responsibility and imply that such a run of results is fine because it's only Newcastle. I'd expect a player of the club to want do do as well as possible, finish as high as they can etc. That's why I find it hard to stomach. By all means feel free to go to the match singing 'Rob Elliotts black and white army', but I won't be joining in. Ah right I see now what you mean.... He is probably just making a flippant comment as he's been cornered into this off the cuff conversation and may have had drink taken so maybe wasn't meant to be unprofessional / rude to the fans but you never know. All in all I think the sub keeper is the least of the worrys and any vitriol should be sent to ashley

Sound's fucking confusing: Dafuq? So friendlys against shit teams will take over but now with added meaning- if you haven't qualified properly for a tournament? So if you are looking like qualifying you are left with meaningless games ?? Really confused here. How will the top division be selected? Surely all the top sides will be qualified anyway leaving the division 2 fighting it out for qualification? Can't beleive this will be used for World Cup qualification also. This is shite

So now stories about people having conversations with players in nightclubs are taken as fact word for word....?

Not putting aguero captain when he was on top form dererve the loss in points. And taking Costa out for bony at a loss. Dammit

At least we have signed someone else though. With Barlow and Alnwick/ woodman older aswel we have decent goalkeeper cover next season. Can we not get behind Elliot in this spell bareing in mind it may be his last? Or should we kick a (fat) man while he is down

The useless c*** shouldn't be at the club to say it in the first place. The fact that utter morons and sheep like you can't see past this is the problem. You total fucktard. Honestly some of our f***ing supporters man. f***ing gullible sheep t***s. To be honest the worst supporters are the twats who call out other ones for having their own opinions

*fret

Please for the love of God aguero is injured or summit now

Me too Same. Aguero 4 goals tonight then? Hopefully he saves them for tomorrow when the game is on. Ah yes!

Me too Same. Aguero 4 goals tonight then?

We're they not going to go bust till he got involved?

Agree with all of that but I thought he hasnt taken money out of the club bar a small percentage of what he was owed What has happened to all the TV money? over £50M last year alone wasn't it? It was included in the accounts . We barely made a profit I don't think. I think this years will give a better idea Last years account haven't been submitted yet. That's what I mean then. I'm still sure so far that he hasn't taken money out. Someone would have to confirm that though cos I'm not sure

I have stuck bony in for Costa should I put him as captain? or plump for aguero!

Eh surely if that's all it was about he would just put sports direct on out shirts?

GW14 Burnley 0-1 Newcastle Leicester 0-3 Liverpool Man Utd 2-0 Stoke Swansea 2-0 QPR Crystal Palace 1-1 Aston Villa West Brom 2-1 West Ham Arsenal 3-1 Southampton Chelsea 2-0 Spurs Everton 2-2 Hull Sunderland 0-3 Man City

What decision is there to be made? These are the rules. Same as when a player gets send off, you know he is suspended for the next game(s), or when you lose a cup game you are out of the competition. I think it's more the fact that they said we may never play in Europe again while Ashley is in charge and also that he would pick Rangers above us when there is no proof either way.

The information is correct. The way it is written making it seem like we will never play in Europe again is a bit ridiculous and assuming.

The main thing is he needs a manager who trusts him

You know you can only use the 'I was mortal when I posted that' excuse once, right? Very true though this was the case again!

Ok ok that was immature but it also is when people blindly ignore weaknesses!
