Think we'll actually loose this one.

Absolutely not an Ashley apologist. I hate what he has done to the club and the way his action has influence people supporting Newcastle. It's fuckin' depressing. There may be truths in statements that the previous regime did not run the club in a long-term economical healthy way, but Ashley... come on.

The guy's a greed cunt. He simply does not have the money to compete... nor a plan.

Wisheed he just fucked off, and we got somebody in willing to spend the cash.

Hannover has just bought Mohammed Abdellaoue (24) a.k.a Moa from Vålerenga for just 12 million NOK. Bargain if you ask me.

Jonas is s****. Should be sold and replaced.

 

agreed, won't happen though

I'm sorry to those who think this is harsh. But seeing him today was just refreshing my memory of him during WC. He is just not right for EPL at all.

Jonas is shite. Should be sold and replaced.

Jose didn't get forward as much as normal meaning Jonas kept running into the centre and getting lost at the few times we went forwards - hopefully that was just a tactical thing with playing Man U and not something that carrys on throughout the season.

 

Williamson I thought was canny, though could easily have had a mare if he didn't rectify his mistakes as he did.  Perch, like everyone has said wasn't fantastic but he is young playing against one of the best teams in the world.  He won't struggle as much against a team like Stoke.

 

Routledge didn't cross as well as he has done pre season - though I think this is mainly due to Evra having him in his pocket most of the game.

 

Carroll for me was our MoM, held everything well and got back.  Though dropped quite deep, fair enough he probably had to as he had no service, but when we had a chance to break he was never back.

 

Another striker or creative/attacking midfielder needed.

 

Good post and positive

Second that. Could have been far worse. 3-0 ain't that bad.

Hard to tell... just have to wait and see. However, I think we are better organised this season and hopefully last season's form will inspire the lads!

We'll get raped...

Would those of you that followed us regulary last season say that Newcastle and WBA is about the same ability playing-/squadwise?

 

No. We're 11 points better.

No sh*t...? you know what I mean...

Would those of you that followed us regulary last season say that Newcastle and WBA is about the same ability playing-/squadwise?

Ok, here we go. Life finally makes sense again! EPL, baby, yeah!!!

Hopefully Xisco will be given a chance this season. Haven't seen him play for us before, in fact I haven't seen him play at all, but I'm optimistic.

If he gets in the player group and starts building his confidence, I'm sure he'll do better than most on here says!

I'm not worried about our signings at all. Perch and Gosling is better than nothing! Just have to trust Hughton and Ashley, nothing else you can do!

I trust the club and the remaining players that they have kept, and can build on, last season's excellent performance!

No.

ban!

Approximately 60% of this thread is people moaning about the horns.

If FIFA can't ban the horns, the producers should mute the noise

why is Jonas playing RB?

 

How else are you going to put him in the starting XI?

I would never put him at RB in a 3-4-3. Nigeria is getting past him too easy

why is Jonas playing RB?

Jonas 

 

I was going to say that.

 

As was I.

and me

undecided between Pancrate's and Jonas' goal. Love Jonas' celebration.

Pancrate showed such a great composure. I haven't seen that since Daglish fucked up a perfect team back in the 90s.

I love Mourinho

Any good players to pick up from Boro if they fail promotion?

Avram Grant, anyone?

 

Would be a very good appointment in my opinion. It will be Hughton though and to be fair to him he does look to be improving.

And he could bring that Belhadi bloke with him. O'hara from Tottenham didn't look too bad. Might improve our midfield.

Feel so sorry for him

 

Are you similarly sorry for Michael Owen? He's only been interested in the England squad and money for the past few years too.

 

No. He looks demotivated, and seems like he is more interested in his horse hobby.

 

He wouldn't if he was in the England squad. Loves the international team just as much as Becks does.

I have no sympathy for Michael Owen whatsoever. I will always remember him as a big waste of money. Owen is made of a materiale more fragile than glass, and (if Owen forgets) I will always remember how he drained us with his huge wages and disappointing performances.
