Sporting Lisbon only 1pt off the relegation zone in Portugal, they must have some wildly erractic flair players we can take off their hands for peanuts. Probably not French though which might prove problematic.

Nothing to see here.....move on.

I feel a bit sorry for him really. Last year he could do no wrong and seemed like a bright young manager with a gameplan and fresh ideas.

His ineptitude this season is making the fans turn against him.

I blame Shola.

I feel sorry for him in a way. When he was being used sparingly he was effective; looked fresh, strong and interested and was a real asset for 15-20 minutes. He'd started to win the fans over after all of these years.

His ineptitude recently is making the fans turn on him again.

I blame Pardew.

Did he just say the players tried as hard as they possibly could???

 

To be fair, what should he have said? The whole squad's confidence is shot. The last thing they need is criticism in public.

A good manager takes the blame in public (even if its not his fault) and bollocks in private.

Beyond Pardew though.

If he admitted he made a mistake i'd like him much more. But he criticises everything but himself.

Should be made to travel back to Newcastle on the train with the fans, just so he can be told a few home truths.

Strachan has it spot on.

What did the ginger ninja say?

To those who are saying (paraphrasing) "whats the point if we don't try and win every game" and "our best chance to win something is in the cups"....

 

What would you prefer, to win the FA Cup but play in the Championship the following season, or not win the cup but stay in the Premier League?

These games are not in isolation, it's not FIFA. Another inept, in fact shocking, performance does nothing to help our league plight. I'd wager the players are even more demoralised if that's possible.

Not arsed being out of the cup just the over the top Pards bashing in here also the fkn stupid media frenzy there will over this whilst they neglect to mention how much of a makeshift team we had out.

Couldn't care less about the team he put out, more about how they played. No drive, commitment, shape, direction or idea. That is totally down to Pardew, he is a busted flush.

What the f*** is this mentality of being glad we are out of a cup competition, fans being pleased to lose a game.

It's the norm now, welcome to the PL

Rangers application and commitment in training clearly paying a handsome dividend.

He's a great example to other juvenile delinquents; he kept a low profile, stayed out of trouble and has been rewarded for his commitment.

We need a backlash against Pardew, starting now.

This is disgusting.

We're we this bad when Ba was managing us?

I reckon we've got a goal in us somewhere, I predict 1-1.

 

I want some of what you're smoking.

I'm on the Cloughy diet.

I reckon we've got a goal in us somewhere, I predict 1-1.

Can't see Shola going off weakening us in any way, except as a body in the box at corners.

Shola is the worst outlet I could possibly imagine.

Even worse than Matalan?

Our midfield may as well be defenders with how far deep they are playing.

Been another problem all season; gap between MF and attack.

Ranger hatrick then a straight swap with OM for Remy

Even Strachan can see how f***ed it is.

 

I'd take him as our manager right now. That's how desperate things are.

 

Hmmm close one. At least he's a good laugh though.

 

He's a miserable sour faced c***.

 

Comes out with some class s**** jokes though no?

 

As a manager he refuses to answer journalist's questions and has the same type of uncommunicative style as Dalglish.

 

But his jokes?

I'm watching on Portuguese TV so I've been spared that particular delight. I'll take your word for it though

Dummet and Ranger?

 

Dummet and Dumber.

cheered me up anyway!

Even Strachan can see how f***ed it is.

 

I'd take him as our manager right now. That's how desperate things are.

Whoever is commentating on this match for Fox+ is f***ing awful. Couldn't have more hatred for Newcastle United. My goodness its annoying.

I would hate this team too if I wasn't a fan.

Even Strachan can see how f***ed it is.

He's a miserable sour faced cunt.

 

Can't see a goal in our team at present.

 

We can only get better, I doubt even Pardew is stupid enough to let Shola come out for the 2nd half.

Are we playing none up front?

 

yes, shola

Over the last 12 months Shola has really looked the part as a 70-75 min substitute. 90 minutes is too much of a slog, it's pitiful to watch.
