Ketsbaia

he's destined to join Spurs

Watching Steve Claridge on Setanta saying how "Man United look like they have a chink in their armour". I think thats highly offensive to Park Ji-Sung.

I think he's very overrated. Even if he wasn't, his history with newcastle means he should never ever come here.

its positive seeing the club going in for players like delph.

it could go the opposite way though

if people start booing milner, ive had enough. cant believe some people.....

How did he do well for us? Serious question. All he did IMO was make people dread watching the team as well as dragging us down towards relegation. I'd say that the time Allardyce was here is the only time as a Newcastle fan were I've been made to feel utterly hopeless about the team, as if we had no chance what so ever of winning a game. Also yes the Football has been far more attractive since he's gone, but then the ball being passed successfully from one player to the other once on the ground is enough to make the Football more attractive then under Allardyce. Yeh but where's that got us?? 2nd bottom. Quick question, would you rather win ugly and stay in the Premiership or suffer the embarrassment and disaster of relegation but at least we could say "well we played pretty football"? Its a results business and we were getting them. Last season was one of our best starts to the season in recent memory and when he left we were 11th iirc. Comparing to last season, I'd much prefer the 2nd November last year. We've been losing to the likes of Reading, Derby, Wigan and Sheff Utd for several years now so it wasnt just a Big Sam thing. I'm not gonna defend him to the grave, I just believe that he isnt Satan himself and if people sat back at looked at the situation objectively, theyd realise he was doing well for the club.

after wednesday night, didnt think there'd be a worse set of results, but now I've been proved wrong. bloody typical. what a horrible horrible week. the only consolation is that if all these teams are winning, someone else has to be losing....our relegation rivals from 2 weeks ago are being replaced. but unfortunately, we're winning games to merely keep up with the rest, theres no opportunity to pull away. and monday night is about the 4th "must win game" in a row. the fulham and wigan games are massive games for this club.

Harper are Owen are good enough to play first-team football. Dunno if we can afford to let Ameobi AND Viduka go (especially if Owen leaves), Cacapa can go if we find a good replacement and maybe keep a couple of young 'uns on (Danquah, Donaldson). The rest can go.

In the minority here, but I personally dont understand all the Big Sam hate. He did well for us and maybe the football wasnt the most attractive - but has it really been good since?? We've had some shocking runs of form since he's gone (ok, the 3 month one last year began with him) and I can't help feeling we'd have been better off sticking by him....especially now. What I'd give for stability.....

Can Liverpool mount a genuine title challenge this year? No.

bit worried that theyll go on a good run now. i hate spurs as much as the next guy......but thank you so much for the timing. seriously. good day to do it, all things considered.

that performance today was unforgivable tbh

very very nervous. i hate derby day so much and a few days ago was certain sunderland will win. but now, im getting slightly optimistic - dunno why. given beye taylor coloccini bassong duff butt guthrie nzogbia martins shola BENCH: harper, enrique, cacapa, geremi, jonas, barton, xisco JFK might go with geremi over duff/zoggy, while barton will come on in the 2nd half this 11 has geordies (taylor, ameobi), players with experience of this derby (nzogbia, given, butt) and the likes of duff and martins who have played in last seasons games and i think this will ultimately help us. COME ON TOOOOOOOOON

we're in trouble.....

and its good that it came from Kinnear and not a "club source" or "insider".....i must say im feeling positive about things today. win tomorrow and things will pick up. we're only 5 games into the season and winning tomorrow can fire us up the league. im hoping that once this is sorted we'll have fulfilled our "annual crisis" criteria for the media and we can crack on with the season

my friend left her freshers week party early and decided spur of the moment (no pun intended) to go to the match. she got in for £10 but i heard prices went down to £5

horrible name......and dunno how to feel about cup final runners-up not qualifying. im guessing that place just goes to the next league team??

rather have o' leary than hughton. our backroom staff is as thin as the squad.

I kinda feel ashamed now, I feel sorry for the guy. Of course, selling is the right decision at the moment, but despite a good start here, he made a few high profile mistakes that have forced him out. But if he'd said this earlier, there wouldnt be as much hostility towards him. Nobody from the club said anything and that was fatal to MA i reckon. The enemies are Wise, Llambias and Jimenez. He seems like a top guy who genuinely loves football and its a shame to lose a guy like that from football, especially when clubs are quickly becoming play-things for the rich. He mentions how passionate our fans are, the flip side to that is when things dont go well....you're a mong-target! So thanks Mike, for keeping the club afloat. Its been a tricky couple of weeks and you've paid the price for it. You seem like a good guy who maybe listens to other people too much. Good luck with your life and please sell us to the right person, not necessarily the one with the most money

paul merson "and theres a riot. guthrie's been sent off and theres a riot"........foreshadowing the demonstrations perhaps?? this club is a mess

we close to equalising??

this'll just be the start of our annual rut. we'll be ok - eventually! but tbh, we shouldnt be settling for that. i just dont get why, whenever we fold, we do it spectacularly
