Saw an interview with Zlatan Ibrahamovic today on Eurosport- what a dope that guy is. He said "I think that La Liga's play is the best suited style to my game"....eh, excuse me? Isn't Spanish football quicker than Italian football (despite it still being slow paced), I think so?! How could that lazy cunt think he can play in a higher paced game! Italy is almost as slow as it gets yet he still struggles at times. Gimme a break, man...

In fairness to the mackems though, they never talk about us......considering how big our rivalry is I'd say it's about time they start taking notice of us a bit more. Tongue breaking through my cheek at this stage.

Sorry, what was I thinking. Slap me again...

In fairness though, we are deep in a recesion here. Not everyone can afford £30, and not everyone would want to spend £20-30 on a ticket for a shite match.

Were you saying that in the back end of last season when Owen was our top scorer under Keegan? Quite frankly, Owen hasn't played enough number of games for us in his 4 seasons at the club- no way he has- but considering the amount of goals he's scored for us in those games he's just about been value for money. Imo, the situation is fairly simple; drop Owen or Martins and play one of them alongside Carroll or Viduka (Viduka preferably, imo). Who would you rather drop? Hmmmm, its a tough one- both Owen and Oba have been exceedingly shite of late but I'd have to say drop Oba. Owen WILL get us more goals than Oba.....his record proves that. Yes, Owen's miss against Pompey was very poor, especially for his standards, but I'm more than confident he would have finished Oba's chance. Owen keeps the ball very well for us, imo. Especially if you take into account his size. Martins cant hold up the ball....infact he cant do all that much. We stand a much better chance of keeping possession and saving it from coming right back at us if we have Owen and Viduka/Carroll upfront. Tbh, I'm really not too fussed if Owen's dropped or not. Either way he wont make a difference because we don't create any chances. It doesn't matter who we play upfront, if we don't create chances and dont have players who can pass a ball, then your strikers aren't going to score. We create virtually nothing so we score nothing. But despite all this Owen is a very poor choice of captain. No rallying the troops or owt like that......the only thing he does well is keep a cool head. But if I were a player I certainly wouldn't look towards Owen for inspiration and leadership.

"N'Zogbia was one of our best players!"

I cant stand that song they sing "Have you ever seen a Geordie with a cup!". How many have they ever won.....one? Lets hope we fucking hammer 'em.

I remember Glenn Roeder saying how appalled he was at the level of fitness the lads had when he took over from Souness....

They do like their family down there mind. They do, a bit hardcore but they do.

I'm sorry, I cant bring myself to read any more of that bullshit that cunt of a woman comes out with. Utter, bile. Such a waste of my time and energy....

I don't care who they are, where they're from, and how long they've been supporting us for, as long as they support Newcastle United I dont care. Right know we need all the SUPPORTERS we can get. But if I was asked whether i thought NUFC were the most hated team in the country I'd say if weren't #1, then we'd be pretty damn close The two main reasons people want to see us go down so bad is: 1. So we can finally realise that 'we're not a big club' and 2. Because we're 'all deluded'. Every single last one of us. Pedro's right- people really, really do hate us. Its like everyones a mackem now; they'd rather see us do bad than their team succeed.

Despite their numbers, Pompey fans sounded pretty good (from the Tele)

A new record. 3 games. Even for our standards thats pretty ridiculous!

On the basis of what? The Israeli title? I do agree with you on this one, Nixon. The squad that Grant had to work with at Chelsea it'd be a crime not to do well with them. But on the flip side, I think he would've done a damn right better job than Kinnear- thats not hard though is it?

1. Definitely true 2. Hmmm. I think its a bit harsh. He hasn't had the chance to bring in any of his own players and just has to work with what he has. Although I struggle to think why Guthrie isn't played more, I must say. At least Nolan and R.Taylor were dropped today- thats a step in the right direction from Al...

Looking at it, the number of foreign managers in the PL has plummeted. Man Utd- Scottish Arsenal- French Chelsea- Dutch Liverpool- Spanish Everton- Scottish Villa- N.Irish Fulham- English Man City- Welsh Spurs- English Wigan- English West Ham- Italian Hull- English Newcastle- English West Brom- Scottish Sunderland- Scottish Boro- English Portsmouth- English Stoke- English Bolton- English Blackburn- English So really, only 4 overseas managers in the PL. Good in a way but does it explain why those teams are doing well? Admittedly, 3 of the 4 are in the monopoly but still, worth a think. Or does it explain why so many teams like Stoke, Blackburn, Bolton, Boro play such boring unattractive football?

Me too! Lets be friends.

From what I saw on the tele I was fairly appalled at the amount of people I saw walk out. Utterly embarrassing.

He did OK tonight. Was by no means great but did alright in fairness to him.

Just. Having Shearer/or a decent fucker that has a clue what hes f***ing doing will help a bit, as well. well we've failed to take more than a point from Stoke, Spurs and Portsmouth. Forgive me if i'm not hugely impressed Never said I was

So I saw. Taking after Luque, I see. He probably couldn't wait to jump into a nice hot bath. Seriously though, whats the fucking rush!

I'm not talking about 8 games. I'm talking about a proper appointment, starting almost from scratch. Not a temp...

Just. Having Shearer/or a decent fucker that has a clue what hes fucking doing will help a bit, as well.

Aye, I know that....hence why I said that Ashley needs to go for anyone decent/proven to come in. And yes, Shearer's done a grand job....all thats missing is a win/goal.
