sorry but: everyone is entitled to be a little stupid now and again, but christ is this guy abuses the privelege

Its always a big risk going for a foreign 'flair' player, its usually a toss-up whether they can cut it in the premier league, and sam being sack-a-phobic (who can blame him, look at the cunts on the 'fire sam' thread) he decided to play it safe, build the foundations.

Completely agree with all of this - the defence will get better, especially imo if we settle with Beye, Rozenhal, Cacapa, and Enrique as the first choice line-up. We need to see more of Cacapa before he can be put ahead of Taylor. You are joking. Taylor is so so overrated, no wonder my Man City fan mate keeps laughing at me when he has read news about how good Taylor is. Taylor is our last choice CB in my view. I have seen him made too many mistakes with his poor positioning and decisions to know that a Lyon Captain must be at least better than him. I even dare to say that Taylor will be our next Bramble: decent game here and there, but more crap games that cost us games. Nail on head. i agree bang a nail in his head

Good things take time.. took me 4 hours to think of what to write, this in itself is proof

Surely the defence was under more pressure because they were up against some amazing wingers and attacking players. Harper's biggest test was west-ham (comeon wigan? boro? a crappy bolton team? derby?) and was simply a spectator when derby scored against us. Remember Given let in 5 goals against Arsenal and Mancity ffs.. and let's not forget how many times shay has saved our arses in the past any old excuse to complain though

at these comments "alladyce out!" just read this thread now ffs... there should be an IQ test taken before someone's allowed to post- It would certainly stop some these idiots spouting nonsense. we were beaten by a creatively superior side who havn't lost at home yet.. given our poor away form its really no giant surprise that we lost. Still as, i think baggio was saying; the midfield is worryingly short of ideas and pace. Love the knee-jerkers saying we're relegation fodder everytime we lose.

That's almost always been the case. It's because so few Englishmen have the skills to play the European game. The language barrier is also a big problem. Most Europeans are vaguely competent at English. Very few English footballers will speak a word of French, Italian, Portugeuse etc. surely its about the ability, numerous foreign players don't know a word of english yet the PL is full of them

given imo is one of the best keepers in the world

Have you noticed how very few English players are playing abroad.. that must say something aswell

aye let's strive to be crap

if we get drawn well, the carling cup next year could be a good shout

Can't be bad news.. but i think people are resting a lot of hope on joey, as if he will save an otherwise mediocre midfield, i'm not saying he won't but i'm just worried that some fans are setting themselves up for disappointment.

how old are you then

No idea. And who's Danquah? Current youth team player.. don't know if he's any good mind

Roeder hindered the development of one of our best young players by not playing him.

Roeder knew that?

i already have a black-and-white party hat for just such an occasion: Its in the safe

?

Not this season, i don't think, after crashing out of the carling cup... but i've always wondered whether, in this lifetime (and i'm still relatively young) i will ever see a newcastle captain raising a trophy for us. Guess that separates newcastle fans from the glory-hunters...

I don't know.. isn't ameobi supposed to be a really nice guy too

don't see how we can win this tbh, man city have been playing some juicy football this season and have the potential to creatively murder us, if they can finish their chances. That said, if we close them down and don't let them play their passing game we could sneak this one. I mean its not like they're manyoo , so we'll go there playing for a win unfortunately i predict a defensive midfield line-up with an over-emphasis on the longball

will certainly concede a goal.. actually as a team newcastle is soo inconsistent that predicting the scoreline could well be anybodys guess. better be a good performance at the very least

You are a right ass hat tbh mate. Yeah say it to my face cunt i'd fucking rip you're's off! Temper, temper... Bontempi's internuts are growing... big man with a keyboard

another derby performance.. new manager same old shite; never consistent enough to be fucking taken seriously. lost to a reserve side.. im pissed as f*ck....
