Breaking news: Most Newcastle fans have bipolar disorder Honest to bettsy, less than 10 games in and people are calling for his head. What happened to 'give him time'. Sure the away form is terrible right now, but overreacting isn't going to make things any better If, by half-way through the season, we're still looking abysmal on the road then we can start asking serious questions.. but for now we just have to hope sam drops this alledged 'play for a point' mentality. Hes a good manager remember, so leave britney aloone!

How on earth is the price irrelevant? You've paid out an extra £15.5M for a pair of strikers than McCarthy cost Blackburn and those strikers only managed 5 more goals than him. And I'll rate a pair of strikers on how many goals they get between them. If that's more than another pair of strikers then the first pair is the better strike force. You can cry on about "judging the movement, passing and how well they work together" all you want, but if that doesn't produce as many goals as a strike pairing that doesn't play as fluently together then it's all irrelevant in the end. Are you really that slow?. The price is irrelevant because we are discusiing who the BEST strikeforce is NOT 'Who's the cheapest strikeforce' or 'which strikeforce would you prefer for the price they cost?' . No, I took everything into account when I choose my best strike partnership. Price, previous clubs, age, previous goal records etc. McCarthy and Santa Cruz came out on top. I didn't see any restrictions as to what to consider when I asked you originally tbh. And nice of you to ignore the last bit, you don't agree that the goal record outcome is more important than having two players who are fluent together? I'd much happier see Owen and Martins get 30 goals between them this season whilst falling over each other than see them play beautiful together and scrape 15. Scy you silly bastard, goals are irrelevant... as long as strikers play 'spurs' football then they're a good strikeforce Sadly though ramos is just what spurs need atm

8 points would have had us third or possibly second depending on goal difference. All supposedly 'easy' away games too *sigh*

More teams have taken points off Villa and Everton than haven't, Spurs have drawn one more game than Derby and have won the same number as them. aye we should've beaten boro, derby and now reading- thats 8 points gone astray

interesting to know if it was or not Elliot were you by any chance 'stoned out of your mind' when you saw it on the tv?

Not very.

blueyes.gif I couldn't argue with that. I'm looking forward to the current regime matching those Champions League qualifications. He's adorable when he does that

If only shepherd was there, then we'd have won. Good post Ne5, insightful as always

At least the pants are staying on this time

Booked for flatulence?

Great point Sam can't not see this (excellent grammar there) so if we can take anything from this game its the assumption that sam has learned his lesson......................hopefully

Its a Newcastle football forum mate, we've been playing poor away from home. Is it complaining to want to more from our away performances, remember some unlucky fans paid to watch that.

Lets be honest, we were dismal. Sam need to sort out his mentality if we want to stop dropping easy points on the road, wheter its down to complacency on the back of a win or travelling with negative attitudes- its a problem that needs to be rectified if we want a decent league position.

Disappointing result, but what do expect when you come to the madjeski looking for a draw? There was always going to be one outcome today sadly, the negative attitude doesn't help either. Now we learn from our mistakes, and i hope i dont have to repeat that statement anytime soon.

its about time man city came crashing down to earth Sorry doc..

were gannin' win the league

the contrasts in home and away perfomances are shocking

how long into the match? <Just got back>

you have to love wiki

I only used the word "soccer" to differentiate it from the NFL. when talking about the NFL football and English football in the same paragraph it can get confusing without using "soccer." Sorry about that. No worries, its just everytime i hear an american accent say "soccer" a piece of me dies

"Soccer"?? *shakes head and sighs*

Ramos might sort them out , ffs it was starting to become funny sammy lee gone, jol gone.. who do we make fun of now hmm.. Keano Keano wanks his dog - DOODA DOODA

i'm all for spreading the word of football to the pagan-NFL watchers, but not at the cost of losing the integrity of the league

No we havent. Jol's definatly improved us but no way were we punching above our weight since he joined. Do you think you're the 5th best team in England? Unbiased? 4th best, the tabloids said so

and mackems.gif Where's that pleb who used to post on here? aye i saw those :lol: and yeah i haven't seen trotter since the 3-1 loss
