get the fuck in there. great penalty shola, fair play.

PENALTY!!

No changes, shouldn't have expected any more from that clueless cunt.

We've worked hard but ultimately have been shit. Sunderland deserve their lead in all fairness. Desperately need something to happen at half time.

Awful from Coloccini. Real test of character now.

SHIT

Can't fault the commitment of the players tbf. Everyone's tracking back and making tackles. Christ Shola!

Christ almighty.

COME ON

Nervous and excited as fuck. Come on!

Wouldn't rule out anything tbh. The Nolan deal came out of absolutely nothing and was concluded very quickly, no reason why something like that can't happen again. Likewise news about Xisco and Nacho came from out of the blue a day or so before deadline day so I'm still fairly hopeful that we'll get at least one more in.

The end justifies the mean, go for it. I suppose..

N'zogbia username, Keegan avatar... f***ing hell, you're the Newcastle curse! Can you call yourself Nicky Butt and put a picture of Kinnear in your av? Please? I don't think I could live with seeing those two everytime I post.

If the Given and N'Zogbia money is spent on 2 more players I'd say they've done very well.

I feel a change in user name is in order Sad to see him leave as I like Charlie alot as a player. However his comments of late have really disappointed me and the deal on offer is well worth it.

It would have been Ebondo and M'Bia in the summer but in our current state Nolan and Taylor.

I fear Jones and Cisse are going to rape our defence from every possible angle, it's going to be a massive test for our defence and Colo in particular. That said Sunderland are fairly average everywhere else and if by some miracle we keep their frontline quiet we'll win.

Had a quick wander ( ) through some Bolton forums and the general crack is that he's rubbish

Is that a good thing? Yes. Barton's way better than any of our other midfielders.

He's not far off Barton tbh, I'd be happy if the price is alright.

Midds, this one is for you. What good will another short-term appointment do? If a new manager is to be appointed it has to be long term and in that sense we can do far, far better than the likes of Pardew and Coleman. No we can't. In the state we're in I'd hand either one of them a two year contract in a heartbeat. Despite the likes of Terim, Deschamps, Bruce and Shearer declaring interest in the job when KK left?

It's not as if Kinnear was a class manager with a decent record and we're just turning on him because of recent poor form. FFS. He was never good enough. Appointing hiim was a mistake from the start. Let's just get around to rectifying that before we're dead and buried. Who should we have got instead then bearing in mind the club was for sale? What we should have done was say "thanks but get the f*** out of here" the moment the club went off the market. Why? We were looking alright going into Christmas when, as I recall at least, we put a decent little run together. To sack Kinnear on the back of that would have been very unfair imo and would just alienate the players even more.
