I actually reckon these will go on to be relegated if we beat them. Nothing would please me more than seeing them, Stoke and al pards going down in the same season.

Absolute privilege to support a team this man manages.

Indeed. Rafa Benitez is everything I have ever wished a Newcastle manager to be and more.

I'd love to be as confident as some are but I just can't bring myself to be. That Bournemouth equaliser has left a really sour taste despite the fantastic win yesterday. This club ffs...

Beating that s*** tip Huddersfield next would all but guarantee our safety though. Can't stand them, their players, or their manager.

Superb once again today after a couple of lesser performances at Bournemouth and Liverpool. Love his energy and aggression. Takes the ball off blokes as if it's nothing.

A draw here would be absolutely massive considering some of the other fixtures being played that weekend.

Really?? Like a rag doll? But carried on and finished the game with no problems.  Jesus this place is getting like North Korea, anything said that isn’t on message is intolerable.

 

I said he is a massive upgrade but twice in two games he has stayed down while the game went on around him.  He can’t do that every game, that’s all I am saying.  Just to reiterate I think he has been really impressive so far.

An elbow to the head and a knee to the chest will keep anyone down for a bit of time ffs Do you actually think he waits around for the right contact/moment to go down and stay down?

You didn't watch the game. Or if you did you have no idea what was going on. I think it is probably the latter.

 

Most of your post doesn't make sense. But hey, this is a forum for opinions regardless of your level of intelligence. I'm sure all are welcome and you may learn something.

His post actually helped me understand yours

The only way this becomes a good result is a draw at Anfield next weekend.

You wouldnt have been happy with 4 pts from Man Utd (h) and Bournemouth (a)?

Of course I would have. But it's about the momentum. Losing two late goals today followed by a pounding at Liverpool won't be good for us at all. If we follow up today's disappointment with a valiant draw away at one of the best sides in the country, it would keep the run going.

The only way this becomes a good result is a draw at Anfield next weekend.

Woeful result in the end IMO, especially considering 4 teams around us also got results. Bournemouth are in flipflops already and we should have been 0-4 up with ten left.

Sickening.

So, some of us older NUFC supporters will remember when them shithouses last dropped into the third tier. Much merriment was made by NUFC's support. So much so that NUFC's support was very much in attendance in that relegation play off game at Roker Park v Cascarino lead Gillingham.

First and probably the only time I've seen three sets of supporters in one ground. NUFC given their own section in the clock stand (to the left of the Roker End as you face the pitch.) Others intermingled with the unwashed as the gates closed on the NUFC section well before kick off. Myself included.

 

So, should we go back this season when the inevitable happens? I'll be sorely tempted. 

 

If you do go this season, try make sure we are safe first

That's a salient point. In Rafa we trust eh?

This is the real reason you came into this thread

These are doomed. Coleman made a huge mistake, taking this job on.

I reckon they made a mistake giving it to him as well. Shambles of a club from top to bottom.

I sincerely hope England fail to make it out of their group in the World Cup. I'm not English and I've liked and been behind so many English teams in the past in major tournaments but I can't think of a more despicable group playing at the moment.

Dele Alli personifies everything that is wrong with football in England IMO. Karma is a bitch though so I'm not too worried.

Have to be doing the main guitar part though!

Hoping for four draws in the cup today, with loads of injuries and red cards.

7 matches in 2 years.

Christ And that imbecile Paddy Barclay will have you believe it was all our fault.

I forgotten what he looks like

Fuck me was he ever so shite

but subs

Also it's "Maradona"

I think he's worth persevering with, we could just do with better options in his position to take the pressure off him a bit and give him a break, along with some genuine competition.

 

His positioning is incredibly intelligent for a player of his years, and his graft often wins us the ball high up the field.

 

He's a good player and I really think he's worth keeping.

Yup

That's because there's a conformity problem in this board. People scared shitless from saying something "out of the norm" in case they're jumped on.

Absolute rubbish. Couldn't give a fuck if someone on here agreed with me or not. Out of the forwards we currently have, Perez is clearly the best of the lot. Alongside a competent striker he will produce more as we put more pressure on teams.

Stoke were tragic too. Jos should have had a hatrick that day.

Stoke are the worst team in the league IMO. Can't score and can't defend. They'll most certainly go down.

I hope this guy has a bit of a nasty streak to him when it comes to bullying defenders. Joselu is a big guy but seems way too nice.

Madness giving this guy new signings to freshen up the squad considering his pathetic record in the transfer market.

I wonder if he spoke to Rafa through a translator or if he speaks better English than he's letting on in interviews.

Knowing Rafa he learned French at some point in his life for the shits and giggles.
