Doctor Zaius

Shit and has been for a fucking age.

I'll tell you what, out of all the things that annoyed me today, most of all it was this f***ing cretin. For the last 15 minutes of the game, he wandered around that pitch with absolute minimal effort. Strolled about and didnt even attempt too make any sort of contribution. At least look like you're trying for f***s sake, but the lack of respect, the lack of care that this bloke had today was staggering. Now you can kinda excuse a lack of ability but to totally and utterly give up, on your home turf infront of your home fans, when they've gone 3-0 up is well and truely unforgivable. Moussa, you're a f***ing disgrace lad.

Simply cannot see how we'll win. They're in good form, 2 losses in the last 13 games, a vital win against Stoke which moved them out of the bottom 3 and of course that Semi will have them bouyed on confidence. Not only have they got a relegation battle to motivate them, but failure to perform in a big game like the Derby may see the players that do play, less likely to feature in the final, especially given their massive squad. Furthermore they're going to be massively boosted by new signings, players making their debut's and players looking to keep their place in the team. This goes without even mentioning the fact that Poyet has tactically bummed Pardew in the face on his last 3 occasions with an even weaker sides. We've not looked nearly as good in recent weeks, take West Ham out of the picture when the man we have just sold absolutely bossed it and I dare say we've looked particularly poor since the turn of the year. Couple this with the fact that our three main goal threats this season are not available (Gouf, Cabaye, Remy) and their replacements, or the replacements that Pardew will pick hardly fill you with confidence. Shola is going to get eaten alive by the inform Brown, at least it'll put to bed the nonesense that he only comes good in derbies. The final nail in the coffin will be the fact that Pardew has absolutely no idea how to motivate his players for these games, whether it be the attitude of some of the players, the lack of understanding that was drilled into previous squads by the likes of Nolan and Barton (who were worth their weight in gold for these types f games) or just general fear by our lot, as it stands the side and Pardews record in these derbies have been horrendous. Can't see that selling our best player and not even attempting to seriously replace him or achieve absolutely anything this season will have a positive effect on our side. All in all, I dont think that I've ever been more sure of a derby day defeat than this one, which speaks fucking volumes about this stupid club given the fact that on the face of it, we're playing 17th place Sunderland at home.

No matter how many bids, real or fake get rejected today its a fucking farce. The powers that be KNEW Cabaye was going in January, so replacements should have been lined up, targets identified way before January and deals already agreed prior to Cabaye's departure, to be completed when he goes. Not fucking bidding for folk in the few days between Cabaye going and the end of the window. Proof we were never serious about a replacement for me like, either that or theyre taking amateur to a whole new level, I expect the former.

A Draw is the very best we can hope for like.

Whats our rep like in France? Still good?

I'd definitely take Holtby like.

Bid rejected. There's a shock. Pack of fucking cunts.

Expect this to painfully drag out over the next 3 days with little information except to odd snippet from some journalist on twitter. Rumours of bids, alleged quotes from Grenier claiming he wants to come before it fizzles out and it becomes apparent for the most part, we weren't actually serious. Yet I'll still check twitter/N-O hourly for an update knowing full well nowt will materialise. Such is life.

:lol:

Is there any particular reason Monaco have paid 8.6M for Lacina Traore only to immediately loan him to West Ham?

Good game mind.

Never a pen like.

This couldn't be further from the truth Enrique carried Jonas, as soon as Jose left Jonas was exposed as the very limited player he is. Really? I seem to remember Jonas being pretty integral to our 5th place season once Enrique had gone like. The same Enrique who has largely failed to live up to expectation at Liverpool.

Made Enrique look twice the player he actually is imo.

Aye the last two have been superb. Thoroughly enjoyed them. Fuck the derbies, fuck the rivalry. I'd rather see their misery extended for as long as possible.

They'll stay up. Of course they will. Starting to put together a good run of form now and starting actually look like a team. Couple that with the amount of easy home games they have and the utter shit at the bottom end of the season and they'll stay up.

They'll stay up imo.

Cant see owt other than Sunderland beating Cardiff today like. Fucking Tan.

I'd absolutely love safe standing. As it's already been said, health and safety is totally different to back when terraces were frankly dangerous. Standing at away games is half the fun, miles better atmosphere.

The Demba Ba song has to be one of the best we've had in current years. Mind it did get a bit long towards the end of the season like Still love EIEIEIO too. Remember a few years ago at WBA away, first game of the Championship season, 'Newcastle United, Will never be defeated' went on for an age. Was class.

In light of Stiflers recent drivvle: To be fair I know how you feel. At school the teachers gave up on me, even at primary school level. I listened to them all, I was told I couldn't do my A levels, I was told that I couldn't move up a set in maths because the set above me was disruptive and it would hinder my learning. As a result I was only allowed to sit a paper that meant I could not pass my GCSE's on. I listened to so many people for a long time who said educationally I could do f*** all. I'm now in my 2nd year at college, I have an interview at Cambridge next month, last year I passed my Psychology subject with distinctions. This year admittedly with another subject added I'm finding things a lot harder. Fair enough my chances of getting into Cambridge where I really want to be are slim, but I have a chance. Thats something no one had ever given me. Howay man, really!?

Still think an extended run starting and we'd see the benefit. In the hole, behind Remy, im convinced we'd be a better side than with Shola starting instead.

Never understood this. Just because youre not from Newcastle doesnt mean you hould have no opinion on them. Go and read their forum, watch a few video's of their fans on derby day, take a look at the shit they spout about your club then tell me you've got no reason to be mad.

And yet some fuckers still dont want those relegated. Really hope the last two Derbies have changed opinions. Fuck Derby day, lets see them have years of misery please.
