Very well played from the gaffer today.

IMO he must make it his number 1 priority this summer to work on a solid attacking strategy to take us into next season. He must convince all of our big name players that if we play to their best abilities, plus with the addition of a couple of astute signings, the sky's the limit. And it starts with the remaining games. He must give the players the self belief that they can fulfill their professional dreams at NUFC. If he does this well, and adds 2 or 3 good players to the squad, we can avoid dramatic transfer saga's in the summer, and have a good pre-season.

I don't feel sorry for someone who earns as much as he does.

The treatment he got today was expected, and was not distasteful. It's all a part of being a modern day footballer. He surely must have expected it, and at the very least had people around him at his club who will have warned him it would happen.

All part and parcel.

Absolutely shambolic management by Dalglish to take him off when he did! I was genuinely astounded at how someone with his experience would actually make such a horrific decision. And to think the majority on RAWK still support this clueless bag of shit...incredible.

Carroll is a Liverpool player and got exactly what I would expect opposition players to get at St. James'. Fuck him and fuck that vile red shirt he plays in.

Just managed to bring myself to post here after that win. And what a glorious win it was!

Liverpool Football Club in 2011/2012 is the epitome of everything I hate about football. To put one over them in that manner, and against a team with a few ex-players and ex-manager....to go 11 points clear....wow...there are no words. Probably the sweetest win since god knows when.

Two more from Cisse, another good game from Ben Arfa....Can't ask for more really. An on form front 3 can easily jet propel us up the league even at this stage of the season. We must have the most in form forwards at the moment, and I even fancy us to be ahead of Chelsea in the table by the time we play them away. I'm not normally that optimistic, but it just seems like the team has finally clicked on the footballing front to go with the incredible team spirit we continue to show week in week out.

What a wonderful day to be a Newcastle supporter 

Sensational off the ball today. Absolutely sensational. His closing down and chasing is so underrated. Should be captain while Coloccini is out. I hope he will have a purple patch in the last few games with some end product.

Agree with the notion that we will see the best of him next season.

Love the guy.

Didn't fall for it one bit.

Absolutely ridiculous "joke".

Stupid. Just stupid. Was hungover like a motherfucker this morning, and NO is usually my remedy. Furious.

Was on a poker table last night. 2 Newcastle fans including myself, and 6 scousers. When one of the lasses mentioned the match on Sunday, there was a strange complete and utter silence...

They're not looking forward to it 

Had a dream that Ben Arfa won a corner which Jonas scored from to give us the lead.

My tv signal then went out, and a few minutes later Livescore said Perch had scored an own goal, to make it 2-0! 

Enrique went from being a loveable, top quality player to a total and utter c*** with the way he left imo. Months of silence during the height of the rumours about CL clubs being interested in him when previously he couldn't stop giving interviews every other week, typical dip in form as he knew he'd be leaving and no longer gave a s*** (similar to Owen), pathetic Twitter outburst (throwing toys out of the pram and implying that the new signings were s***) to force our hand and accept Liverpool's cheapo bid, smug face once he'd got his "dream" move, and I'm pretty sure he said something along the lines of "it's great to be playing for a big club now".

 

Great player though, and it'll be interesting to see how Ben Arfa fares against one of the best left backs in the Premiership.

Turned to a t*** ever since adopting the Jordan Henderson side parting.

edit: Enrique that is

Vaughan's right leg is a mag

Thirty five, you're havin a laugh. Thirty five, you're havin a laugh

Simpson will be fine man. The only reason I'd pick R Taylor over Santon at left back in this game is because we're missing the skipper's assuring presence. Taylor being the more experienced of the two.

I'm not sure if I really blame Enrique for leaving. Some of the stuff he said was dodgy, but at the time he was a top player and we weren't really looking good enough for him. Like many people, he probably expected Liverpool to push on with all their spending. Believed the hype basically.

My problem isn't so much with him wanting to leave for a more delusional ambitious club. My problem is that he stopped giving a shit half way through last season, and the fact that it seems the deal with the clan was agreed while he spouted shite about not wanting to leave (big nose Thommo comments about it being a done deal).

Reception for Enrique and Carroll will be?

 

expect Enrique to get a warm reception at first, then maybe a few boo's when the game gets underway (see Les Ferdinand etc), but Carroll to get booed, abused and jeered throughout.

 

No doubt Henderson will get 'you're just a sad mackem b******' at some point and Bellamy will also be jeered.

I reckon Enrique will be jeered from the minute he steps out to warm up.

I also wish we wouldn't boo Suarez. Refuse to acknowledge his presence and just laugh at him instead when he dives.

King Kenny will triumph in the end

2nd twice wasn't it?

From a Liverpool fan....

 

Although the excellent Coloccini is out for them I have grave concerns over their front three of Ba, Cisse and Ben Arfa.  If we play Kelly, Flanagan and/or old man Carragher we'll get our arse handed to us.  Adam is s**** and the less said about Jay Spearing - or, as I like to call him, the offspring of Iain Dowie's mother and Quasimodo - the better.  Gerrard has to play because we're wretched without him.  With any luck Carroll will come good and Dalglish won't display inept tactical skills, but I just can't see it happening.

 

4-1 Newcastle I'm afraid.

 

f***ing hell! he's more pessimistic than a lot of the posters on here. Love what he said about Spearing.

Sounds like their Crumpy

WTF? Where the hell is Gerrard?

Been looking for 10 minutes now, starting to think i've been wooshed like.

the poor sod to the right of Benitez. I swear it's Raylor man.

The thread should be renamed: The Liverpool Way (Parcy 5 Dalglish 3)

Just keep spotting more, that's superb.

Initially I thought what the fuck is Ryan Taylor doing there? (top right-ish) then figured it was Steve Geraaard.

Might have missed it, but am I mistaken in thinking if tomorrow's match ends in a draw it will still go to a replay?

Had no idea we were top of the injury table like 

Oh.

 

I'd still like to hear it!

 

Me too, i suppose old Luis wouldn't care anyhoo, for someone who dives about clutching his legs when he isn't touched, he has no shame at all anyway.

not only that. Every single time the little fairy throws himself to the ground, he clutches some part of his anatomy with one hand, and motions for the physios/ bench with the other. Every. Single. Time.

I really am in a pickle trying to decide how I would feel about him had he been our player. As he isn't, I hate him with the strength of a thousand suns.

Would be fantastic if Suarez' hamstring snapped during the match.

I'm in two minds. It would also be fantastic to see him finish on the losing side, having been booed and laughed at all day by the home support. A second yellow for a blatant dive would also be marvelous.

Seeing the highlights of the Wigan match, I cannot believe how that odious cunt Suarez wheels away doing the "pistolero" having just kneed someone in the back and scored with this hand. What a pathetic little cockroach.
