Jayson

All over, Managed it Less than convincing performance but atleast got the result....wouldnt have in the past. Considering all the injurys not bad, 5 played 5 won, cant argue with that.

now get a hold of the ball and control it ffs have a feeling we'll go dodgy here

finally, this England team is producing when it matters thank fck for that

GET INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN TERRY

Ashley Cole also. Had a disasterous game for us, johnsons looked better

we've looked average at best this whole game Passing has dissapeard

What a fcking disaster as usual

Why are they so intent on puttings everything through crouch, as if hes known for being masterful at linking up play ?? Gerrard should be further up linking it

go on becks

"There are no plans to appoint a replacement in this role." GET IN

HT, they're falling into the trap of playing long balls to Crouch. Should keep it on the ground, we were cutting through them easily with simple passing.

Barrys looked awful so far

GET IN CROUCHHHHHHH !

lennon took to long tbh, lampard shoulda scored regardless

not passing it to well yet, gerrard, lampard & barry need to get moving

Be useful if we'd had beckham on for this

Go on England Lets do them 3-0

It's a FACT. Still, doubt any of us would be suprised to read a new skysports headline of how its all fallen through & we're only going for Dowie.

Xisco looked half fit during Reserve game, doubt he'll be played.

On SSN they're claiming Al & Dowie "remain friends" from their southampton days, so whilst not best mates...they should get on pretty well still.

There needs to be complete faith from the hierarchy in a Newcastle manager for the long haul for the first time in a while; not just seeing how they do at first. If the board, or whoever Shearer's superiors will be, can keep their minds focussed on a long-term strategy, then he may have a chance even if things don't go as well as expected. Re: Moyes, it should be pointed out he had been at Preston for a fairly long spell previously, so had a solid managerial background behind him. Hopefully Shearer learns fast. We all know he's going to have a certain level of leadership & previous managers who have worked with him have come out and said he's always had a great leading influence on players. So he has half of what it takes to be a class manager already, tactics is what he'll need help with id assume & he's certainly been analyzing enough football recently, now he's got Dowie to help him out further. Hes worked under the likes of Robson etc so he'll have picked things up along the way. We certainly need to start showing faith in our managers, we may never get another manager we all are behind this much ever again. Just that level of positivity will give just as much a lift and help us do well, as all the confusing nonsensical bs had brought us down. Just hope everyone stays level headed regardless, we're all far to ready to find a scapegoat as soon as possible half the time. An inexperienced Shearer will no doubt take that place for a lot of ppl, regardless of whether HEs doing much wrong or right.

Harsh. but true

Shearer has the stronger position though in the future regardless. Ashley has seen what happened with Keegan, you think he'd risk twice that pissing off shearer?
