Alan Shearer's Eyes ‏@HowAlanSeesIt Newcastle are struggling to get into a European qualifying place because they made the mistake of qualifying for Europe last season #motd2

GW14 1 0-2 2 1-1 3 3-0 4 1-1 5 1-1 6 2-0 7 2-2 8 2-0 9 3-0 10 0-5

yes while all that is true I wonder how he will cope outside of Barca, the next club he goes to is not likely to have as good a youth system as Barca have or have a team near the talent he had at his disposal there and certainly not anyone of the talent of Messi who at times acted like a get out of jail free card when they were in a spot of bother. His transfer record (if he was the one who decided on the deals, not sure if thats the case though he certainly had to have some input) is patchy with some very expensive flops in there.

Beckham Adebayor and Dawson........not asking for much is old arry (just a bloody fortune in wages never mind transfer fees)

how did he miss that!

goal disallowed for Villa

comparing us to Arsenal Man U or Liverpool in that regard is an exercise in futility, they're global profile is huge and advertisers will pay vast sums to get their name connected with them, NUFC's global profile is tiny by comparison, hell Man U have a separate sponsor for their training kit (and I've seen people wearing said training kit out and about)

More likely just easing him back in. Oh, he's been injured? I'm so out of the loop at times. just back from a long enough injury, that said jenkinson did really well in his absence and was harsh on him to be dropped

Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Stevens, El Ahmadi, Westwood, Weimann, Bannan, Agbonlahor, Benteke. Subs: Given, Ireland, Albrighton, Holman, Delph, Bowery, Lichaj. Szczesny, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Arteta, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud. Subs: Mannone, Sagna, Vermaelen, Wilshere, Coquelin, Arshavin, Gervinho

Yep we could have really used this guy instead of spending all summer chasing shadows with Debauchy. Silly missed opportunity, din't care what he says in the press, he would have chosen us over them if he had had the chance, obviously we never made a serious offer. Have you completely ignored his quotes then. Have you completely chosen to fail to grasp what players say to the press, it's not always truthful, hello !! :lol: He's not going to say oh I wish I had gone to Newcastle instead because they just finished 5th in the league and Southampton had just been promoted and likely to struggle, you pleb. He even says he didn't get a chance to talk to Pards, we didn't get that far because we probably bid half what Southampton and market value was. Out of contract wasn't he? Wasn't he in his last year, either way there would have been a fee because of his age. think he was out of contract but yes because of age Palace were due a fee anyway, not sure if it went to tribunal or they agreed one with Southampton

Not sure if mentioned but possibly more out in the near future? He said, risking the possibility of doing a "Giggs". http://www.paisleydailyexpress.co.uk/renfrewshire-sport/renfrewshire-football/renfrewshire-football-st-mirren/2012/11/22/saints-sign-pact-with-english-premiership-giants-87085-32282014/ Aye, i've been reading about the link up with St. Mirren, not really my choice of league to send our players tbh. not a bad place to send the younger ones before they get more serious experience in the championship or something

norwich!!!

Evertons form has dipped rather a bit, not many losses but a hell of a lot of draws

look on the bright side win tomorrow we're top half again and only 4 points off 5th

Krul Simpson Saylor Willo Santon Marveaux Tiote Anita Fergie Cisse Ba god knows the score I've given up predicting us

ah cheer up everyone

3-2 Wigan

Witchcraft. Burn them. It'll never catch on

Would like to know how many set pieces each side has had to see how good or bad everyone is at them in general, logically since man u and city probably have more corners and free kicks around the box than anyone else so more of a chance to score from one

Redknapp out

wigan equalise

of coarse its all down to Redknapp apparently even though its doubtful he's even met the side yet..............bloody media

1-0 QPR

Last season wasn't brilliant, our league position was and a few games were but it was also poor at times, especially early in the season. I never understand why APs record before he came to SJP is so readily ignored. He managed four years at Reading, three at West Ham, two at Charlton and then one in div 3 with Southampton. His career had been in obvious decline for years. I can't think of any manager with a career trajectory like that who suddenly turned into a quality top flight manager. There's always exceptions to the rules but I don't think our performances last season were good enough to turn a blind eye to his less than inspiring CV. Charlton was a clear mess well before he got in, he was what their 3rd manager since Curbishley left (the end of the previous season) and it took a long time for them to get over that mess and begin to recover including a lengthy enough stint in league 1 and tbh he probably took that job too soon after losing the West Ham job. Southampton he did well with a club that was in even more chaos than Charlton before and during his early time there and had little time before the season began to get a side together and among his signings was Ricky Lambert who has proven to be a superb signing. He won them their first trophy since 76 (not the biggest trophy in the form of the JPT but still a trophys a trophy) and as I recall they had a 10 point deduction to begin with and hadn't they that problem they'd have finished in the playoffs. He was sacked 3 weeks into the next season after winning 4-0.
