If Smith plays I really do think i'll cry.

Nee offence mate, but it would be absolute madness to play no wingers and no Viduka.

Fucking AC drew 0-0 at home with Torino.

You're not quite sure if you made it to the FA Cup final?

The stories begin SAM ALLARDYCE is facing the first crisis of his Newcastle reign — with Mark Hughes lurking in the shadows. Big Sam and his team were booed and abused at St James' Park after yesterday's humiliating 4-1 thrashing by Portsmouth. Hundreds of fans walked out after just 11 MINUTES as Newcastle went 3-0 down, sending a clear message to chairman Mike Ashley. Allardyce issued a grovelling apology, admitting: "I'm devastated. We were rubbish and that is the most disappointing thing, especially for the fans who expected a lot more than they got today. For me it is about rolling up my sleeves and making sure there is not another performance like that this season." Sources close to Ashley claim there will be no knee-jerk reaction from the boardroom but the chairman is hugely unimpressed with recent performances. The billionaire is known to be an admirer of Blackburn boss Hughes.

I thought the Blaydon Races was canny today. Need to put O Fortuna on before the daft Premier League thing, then let BR ring around the ground for a couple of minutes as the teams get into position.

I know it's a cliché and that guff, but he still needs to adapt to the physical aspect of our league. He's fucking immense at reading the game, but gets bullied off the ball a lot.
-
He'll be alright still. When we lose to Blackburn and Liverpool and it becomes 5 or 6 on the trot, then the pressure will be on.

Fucking AC ruined my accumulator.
-
Quite the opposite, IMO. Seems canny pacey, but slightly prone to the wrong decision on whether to tackle/leave off the man. Sometimes caught out of position as well. Very good going forward though.
-
REALLY! Diid you get there today? He did, aye.

Given is out. Harper Beye Faye Taylor Enrique Milner Barton Rozehnal N'Zogbia Martins Viduka

Given and Butt will be injured/banned respectively for the match.

A trampy pikeyCUNT. Why do gadgies on your forum randomly hoy words in capitals? Always wondered.

You're right, Woody and 5 million from desperato Southgato.

.cock NEWCASTLE United manager Sam Allardyce said he was "devastated" and "gutted" by his side's shock 4-1 collapse against Portsmouth at St. James' Park. Big Sam said his players were their own worst enemies and basic errors and defensive frailties were behind the defeat, in which Pompey led 3-0 after only 11 minutes. "Disappointed is an understatement," he said. "I'm devastated by what's happened here today. I'm completely gutted inside. "What I put out on the field of play is an extension of me. Players have to keep their shape and use their discipline and abilities, make sure they help their mates and use their talents in the right areas. Today that didn't happen. "We lost all our discipline, shape and organisation, and going chasing lost causes means you lose deeper and harder. "We were our own worst enemy today. The basic errors from the back four have to be cut out. You have to play as a unit, and the biggest unit of all has to be the back four. "If it's great play by the opposition then you hold your hands up, but when it boils down to two basic errors there's very little that a manager can do. Their first goal was a stunning, stunning goal, but after that it was basic errors." Added Allardyce: "It's not just the defence. It's about the protection of the back four. The front men's responsibility is to pressurise the opposition, and the midfield has to stop the attacks from the opposition. "We had a lot of experienced Premier League players out there today - but they didn't use that experience. "We lost the game in those first 12 minutes. We lost the game in the shortest period of time ever since I've been here. When you go 1-0 down - to a goal you couldn't do much about - you make sure you don't go 2-0 down. "But we then gifted Portsmouth two more goals and even though we had a spirited comeback, and created some opportunities, and made David James show what a good goalkeeper he is, it was much too late. "We cannot carry on defending like that. For the first time, our defensive frailties have slipped into a game at St. James' Park - and that's the reason we've lost." Allardyce hauled off Brazilian centre-back Cacapa after 17 minutes and explained: "I wanted to make a change. We needed to get somebody off in the back four - it had looked so out of sorts. At least we brought a bit of solidarity back. David Rozehnal I thought did reasonably well. "But in the second half Portsmouth didn't need to attack. Harry was going mad because his players kept attacking, but they put that right in the second half. They said: We don't need to score another goal to win."

Sell him to the smogs in January. Straight swap for Woodgate would do nicely.

You know it's grim when Owen thinks it's wise to try a bicycle kick through ball...
-
Alan Smith was supposed to help us keep the ball, if he doesn't do that then what does he contribute? He gets the card count up.
