You're welcome to your opinion but I don't know how you can be so confident of that.

Typical Geordie way eh?
Blame the manager every time we don't get a result. And we wonder why we're bottom of the pile.
The only mistake JK made was starting Ameobi ahead of Owen, but some of the criticism he gets is ridiculous.
He's lost 2 games in 7, considering the sort of form we were in that's a fair effort. Keegan would have done no better. Want me to point out the record he had as manager the second time around?
You don't think Keegan would have amassed more than 1 point against Sunderland, Fulham and a ten-man Wigan? Gerraway man.
No, I don't.
That's the plain truth.
Keegan was also guilty of losing winnable games and playing players that shouldn't have played etc.
But since he's the messiah we're not allowed to criticise him, right?

What a roller-coaster.
Would've been over the moon with 3 points from what it was looking at, and at the end of the day a point from being behind late on is still good.
Considering the circumstances though its certainly 2 points dropped, we would've been 11th if we won.
-
Bad feeling we'll concede.
-
Duff has been our most consistent player, and whilst not as dangerous as Martins or Jonas, he's been working very hard.
Criticism of him is absolute nonsense, I've seen every game this year and he's been our best player in nearly all of them.
Say what you like, but you'd be wrong if you disagree with that.
-
Duff has been our best player this year, don't see where the criticism is coming from.
Of course it's JK's fault though, it can't be the fucking gutless players. Has to be the manager.
Fans will never be happy unless it's Kevin Keegan or Alan Shearer in charge.

i'd rather us lose than get a draw. Need rid of this clueless irish cunt asap
Haha yeah, because we've got a trillion better options.
He's not going to go if we lose.
He's in charge in the short-term, face facts and support the team for fucks sake.
-
Fucks sake make changes give Charlie a go!! THIS TEAM WERE BEATEN BY ARSENAL UNDER 18's!!!!
So were we last year.
Same scoreline too.
-
I'm sick to death of having to come from behind and accept mediocrity now.
We have to be beating Wigan at home, and now because we're behind, I think most of us would settle for a point.
-
Owen on, Ameobi off
N'Zogbia on, Duff off
Last time we played Wigan at SJP we won thanks to a Michael Owen header from an Obafemi Martins cross.
It works Joe, do it.
-
Thankfully it's all so close down there so even after we lose today we're not too far off the pace.
Fucking wrecks your weekend though.

We've got a lot in a row after Fulham don't we?
But yes, it's frustrating.
-
I'd almost be satisfied with a draw out of this.
I mean, sure, Fulham is a winnable game, but if we go there and try to win and only come out with a draw I'll be happy enough.
Keep us ticking over, not the easiest place to go, and with our last 2 games being wins we can afford to drop points, assuming we beat Wigan.
-
he's doing a fantastic job, I'm sure he won't have any problems finding work after this.
It's a win-win for him now.
If he doesn't get the job with us, he'll have no problems getting a job elsewhere anyway.
Can't lose.
-
more than just a good result, a good performance, very confident with the ball but still a bit jittery defensivly.
Totally disagree.
It's the best we've been defensively all season.
-
The points we have picked up, I don't know where they've come from to be honest because in general the team has been poor to average and are not performing any differently really or rather do not appear to be playing to some kind of Joe Kinnear inspired game plan. I think his actual appointment itself rather than he himself has had the biggest impact on the team in that there is some stability leaving the players to err, get on with their jobs of playing football. He still scares the s*** out of me I'm afraid and I fear what will happen the longer he does stay. He's certainly doing himself some good though in terms of his career after all this or at least I hope so anyway because I do like him as a character and the game needs people like him I feel.
So we should bring Keegan back, eh?
Aye, because that's exactly what I'm saying
Well, you've said it about 500 times so I just figured that's what you were getting at.
-
Oh and the ref and linesmen were a disgrace to the profession never mind the game. Inept doesn't do their performance justice. Awful and the FA need to act quickly because the standard of refereeing in our game is appalling.
What did they do wrong?
Booking Shola for Laursen running into his elbow, giving fouls against Barton whenever he's made contact in a tackle/held off a player, while being inconsistent on top of that (knee on Barton's face, Laursen's elbow on Shola)
The booking for Shola was probably there (FIFA directives to book people using their arms as a tool), Barton's yellow was also fair enough.
Bennett is a fussy ref, but everyone knows that.

Should have been 12.
How?
-
Well done
Say what you like, but we've taken 8 points from 15 whilst he's been in charge.
Done a fine job IMO.
-
All of these media outlets saying Villa were unlucky -
We dominated them.
Thought both Taylor and Coloccini were fantastic. They defended really well as a partnership for a change.
It's the first time that I've watched us that I was confident that the other team wouldn't score, and it's not like we were playing someone crap.

Probably why Shearer is now one of the only few alternatives for the job.
I mean, I thought Keegan coming back was a mistake, but it lifted everyone's spirits and even when things weren't going his way, people didn't jump onto his back like they are with JK.
He was given time, which managers need.
That's been our problem really, fans are too quick to jump on the managers back, meaning they're sacked or they "resign" and we start the cycle all over again.
We need stability, and the only way we'll get that is if the fans approve of the next manager of the club.
Who, other than Shearer, is able to achieve that?
