Nile Ranger 1 - 0 Spain

                   Harper

Beye    Edgar  Coloccini    Enrique

 Duff   Guthrie   Nolan     Jonas

      Lovenkrands   Martins

Bench:  Forster, Cacapa, Geremi, Barton, Gonzalez, Owen, Viduka

That'd be my call.

Jonas just needs to imagine that the two posts are trying to get the ball off him and walk into the net.

;D ;D

oh ffs is shola coming on?

 

f*** OFF

;D ;D

Where's Viduka the lazy f***

Injured again.

He managed to injure himself sitting down on the bench.

No changes!

Quel surprise.

We never make changes until 67 minutes, when we'll take Martins off for Edgar or something stupid.

I think I might become a Burnley fan until this is sorted out.

Ashley has destroyed this club.

Radio Newcastle reckon that Geremi has tucked in to play alongside Smith and Butt. So - we have no right midfield.

Don't you love our suicidal management?

Well in all honesty if we lose today we deserve to be in championship next season. We all know that but we can not admit it...

Agreed.

We're down.

Committed Performance From Alan Smith Last Night

 

Absolutely useless.

But it was?  Until he tired he played solidly.

Cut the guy a break.  I'll be the first to admit he was rubbish last season, but he did a job last night.  At least respect that.

anyone see or hear about the fire after the game?

Just saw two fire engines head up the back of the stadium.

We need a chant for this guy.

Legend in the making, truly is.

Harper - 7 - Solid.  Did a great job with the Rooney chance, rushing out and then blocking him instead of doing the natural thing to scramble back.  Unlucky with first goal.

S Taylor - 6 - Shaky.  Made to look like the makeshift right-back he is.  Still, against Man United, I guess he did okay.

Coloccini - 8 - One of his stronger performances.  Hope this heralds a return to form.

Bassong - 8.5 - As usual, fantastic, with some great tackles.

Enrique - 9 - What a player.  Had Park in his pocket for most of the game, turning into a great LB.  Just goes to show that it can take 50+ games to really settle.

R Taylor - 6 - Still not impressing me.  Did okay, and his set piece delivery was good.  Not bringing quite enough to the right wing, though.

Smith - 6.5 - Good first half with some excellent tackles (see Berbatov).  Tired in the second half, didn't look match fit.  Still, midfield looked a better unit with him there, and protected the backline well.

Geremi - 6.5 - About the same as Smith.  Didn't get rushed off the ball.  Showed composure against classy opposition.  An ok performance.  Shame he has no drive.

Jonas - 8 - Magnificent on the ball, just STILL no final ball.  Getting rather frustrating.  

Lovenkrands - 7 - Got a goal, fair play.  Heckled the backline and used his pace.  Potential for a decent partnership with Martins.  Looked good.

Martins - 8 - As usual, his pace troubled United.  Some nice shots.  Getting back to form.

Carroll - 6 - Didn't really do that much, but he did okay.

LuaLua - 5.5 - Pretty anonymous.  I know he wasn't on for long, but there wasn't really any sense of creative drive either.  He did okay, and spread the play alright.

That article says Smith and Geremi likely to play 'major roles'.

 

Crikey we're gonna get smashed off the pitch.

I think Geremi could be a useful asset.

He's about the only player on the pitch who can drift useful balls over the top for Martins.

Shame Man U will close him down too quickly, but if he gives it his all,  he might be useful.

Team I pray for:

                      Harper

R Taylor  Coloccini  Bassong Enrique

Lua Lua    Geremi      Smith    Jonas

            Martins

                            Viduka

What I fear they'll play:

                      Harper

S Taylor  Coloccini  Bassong  Enrique

                    Cacapa

R Taylor    Geremi  Smith      Jonas

                    Ameobi

What I wish we were able to play:

                      Harper

Beye      Coloccini  Bassong  Enrique

      Barton      Nolan    Jonas

                      Owen 

            Martins      Carroll/Duke

What are the odds on Newcastle getting relegated?

We're getting relegated.

Martins, Owen, Lovenkrands, Duff, Nolan, Barton, Beye, Bassong, Coloccini, Jonas and Enrique will all leave to play the football they can in teams that can play it.

I don't understand how Jonas can perform so well for Argies yet as soon as he pulls on a barcode turn to s***?

Because Argentina play with real footballers.

We play with overpaid, arthritic tits.

Maybe 0-10 against manu would open someones eyes..

 

Well we lost 5-1 at HOME to Liverpool and it didnt make a bit of difference

Not true!

Given left for tuppence.

Can't really grumble too much with Hughton.

 

He's out of his depth, he's not a manager.

But he IS our fucking manager right now, which is why we have to get it sorted!

Swedish commentator says Butt has a knee injury... hope it lasts.

You can tell that commentator's medically qualified.  

Nicky Butt winced and grabbed his knee 20 minutes ago before being subbed.

Now the guy's deduced he must have a... wait for it... knee injury.

What a f***ing joke. Martins is coming off for Viduka.

Well, that's it decided for me.

I will not support this club under the current management.  When I got to the games I'm going to watch and admire the football of the teams playing against us and voice my opposition against the complete nonsense of Hughton, Kinnear and Ashley.

The commentators point about Butt orchestrating, and commanding was borderline verbal abuse.

I've rang Ofcom.

What happened?
