16 teams to be knocked out before the group stages. Whats the point!?

worst WUM ever

I dont even think he was great for Hull was he? http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/hull-city-steve-bruce-concerned-mo-diame-s-form/story-29194483-detail/story.html 'Erratic campaign' is hardly a shining star in the Hull side that couldn't get top 2. Lets not forget he's been relegated from the PL twice. Not writing him off but i'm not sure why we should persist with him ahead of Perez (who admittedly has been shite for a while imo). He's 29 anarl, not exactly liable to improve.

Mind, this is quite funny given everyone thought we'd piss it.

The absolute worst is people posting in this thread slagging off others for talking about them. Like it or not, they're our local rivals. They're our friends, relatives, colleagues etc. A lot of us have regular dealings in real life with them so obviously they're going to be a talking point. They're always going to be a point of interest to Newcastle fans. That's the way rivalry works. If people want to talk, let them. If you think they're irrelevant/youre not interested in them at all, then don't post in the fucking Sunderland thread. Not hard is it.

:lol: Never fails to make me laugh.

I dont think failed is the correct word like. It just turns out that their style is perhaps more suited to being a full back as they get older in the same way that players often start out as strikers in youth and junior teams. They're just noticed more there. Ashley Cole was a winger in his youth, you can hardly say he 'failed' at anything, he was just more suited to full back. In the same way that some players will never be suited to playing full back (Robert, Giovinco, Ben Arfa, Ritchie)

I dont think thats fair with Given. He'd been here for many years by that point, often performing way way above what his team mates were. Year after year he was a solid, top quality keeper and year after year we were pretty much a shambles. Right in the middle of the JFK debaaccle I think he'd just had enough and wanted to move somewhere where he'd lift a trophy, rather than seeing out his career at this mess of a club through blind loyalty. Handed in a Transfer request too iirc, meaning he forfeits a sizeable bonus. Given is one of the good guys imo. Same for Krul, sad to see him go but his career has wained a little in recent years. A loan and then a return would be great, but if both parted ways it might well be mutually beneficial.

Decent enough. Would have preferred to keep, but he was fairly close to ever present in our woeful side last season. Good going forward but literally cannot defend.

Players 'not giving a fuck' is a bit of a tired cliche thrown about when perhaps thats not really the problem but Jonjo Shelvey couldnt care less like.

We have just lost to one of the worst teams in the division like.

124 Apps for Newcastle according to wikipedia. 5 good games maybe?

Going down with a whimper this season Hull like.

Not quite like. I have next level hatred for Owen like.

£25M He's fucking shit man. Dont buy this not used to playing in rubbish team crap. Good players stand out regardless. Apart from the odd goal, he contributes fuck all, he has no idea how to get involved in a game and for the most part is useless. He'll be out of the Liverpool team by xmas and gone within 18 month.

They pretty much limped over the line to. Barely threatened after the goal.

Fuck off Ireland.

Ireland getting dicked here

And The songs England fans were singing did not provoke anyone. The songs did not incite any of the violence in France. Completely irrelevent in this situation.

Are people still attaching all blame to England fans for f***s sake? Its clear that there was attacks from organised French and Russian groups. In and out the stadium its obvious. I know its hip to s*** on the stereotypical english male at the moment but this anti-english agenda in this thread is quite frankly, f***ing nonesense.

Some proper sanctimonious shit being posted in this thread like. Clueless.

What is the fucking hold up. Just give the man what he wants for fuck sake. We've got a world class manager, a manager none of us could have imagined us getting, possibly one of the best appointments we could make in living memory that CLEARLY wants to stay here under the right conditions. Carte fucking blanche.

Complete and utter horseshit.

Reports of ticketless Liverpool fans trying to get into the stadium before kick off...

Is the exasperation around massive transfer fee's going to carry on all summer? despite the fact we've heard now but talk of a massive TV deal all season? Inflation gonna inflate.
