Is it not because Butt isn't playing... Simples

;D ;D ;D :iamatwat: Yes

CARROLL!!!!!! Not a hat trick like...

Hmmm, no Smith & Butt. A coincidence?

Aye, i'm sure he's one for the future Of all the games i have to miss....

O0 :clap: :thup:

WOOOOOOOHH! WHY AM I FUCK****** GROUNDED :angry: :angry:

Howay Carrol!

HOWAY!!!! So pi***d off i'm grounded

NOW why isn't Kadar playing? I feel sorry for the lad.

I would have thought all that was obvious to most. He must go at the end of this campaign on promotion. I know but sometimes the obvious needs stating

But it hasn't just been the odd game. Most games we have been appaling and havn't deserved to win. Yet we do so. The idea of having a commitee of players to help him pick squads just cannot work. A manager can't be equal with the players. Otherwise he won't drop players like Butt, Smith and Nolan if they underperform, which they all have been recently. He consistently takes too long to make subs. He never plays the same strike force more than 3 times in a row. He is a poor manager in a poor league with average players. It will spell for disaster come next season IF we get promoted, which recently looks doubtful since Barnsley 2 months ago...

Hmm its a tough one. But it HAS to be pyschological. For players to play infront of loud fans who are close to the pitch a la Stoke or play infront of thousands and thousands of fans, against a side renowned for getting bias towards them must be hard to overcome... Shame we have a shi*e record home and away for years before relegation

Very sad. R.I.P

Out of all the teams in the chamionship, we have been least outplayed. We've also never outplayed anybody either...

He's only on 200k a year...

I was there an i knew what you mean. But i love Cloughie so i have a soft spot fot them and Derby

That's a whole lotta 'fat cockney b******' banners right there.

According to Look North the NUST has £50million

They also said the NUST have 50million quid now or summit

The same Guthrie who has created more league goals than anyone else in our squad? This. Nolan was diabolical in the 2-2 with WBA. Nolan's been diabolical most of the season tbh, it's the fact that the goals have dried up that makes it even worse. You know that sitter he missed? Well I was watching the build up play very closely when we were charging up the right, and the only reason he got to miss that sitter because he walked from the centre circle to the edge of the box. I was fuming. Smith and Nolan play far too deep!!!! Hopefully Guthrie will be an AM and Smith his usual self in a DM and we can play a diamond

Yeah i've noticed this. Its ashame, some of the best chants are the ones that get repeated again and again and again. The last one i remember is against liverl in december 2008. When the whole stadium sang: Hello, hello we are the geordie boys. For about five minutes. Despite being 5-1 down. At least now fans are starting to get behind the team as soon as the opposition scores a la the old days.

Our repetoire is also shockingly boring. Its always Neeewwwcassstle and toon toon all the time. We need to bring back the old ones more. At the plymouth fa cup game i heard these fans sing 'follow follow follow' for 15 minutes straight. A good slow song with easy lyrics to understand in which everybody can join in, thats what you need for a better atmosphere. Songs that people are able to hear the words, and if other fans can hear, then the players can hear

Some fans changed the way we sing 'oh when the mags' to a really slow starting 1st verse which slowly speeds up, and when it is done properly it sounds fantastic. So why can't we do it with 'our' song. I would love to be able to sing the blaydon races like 'i'm forever flowing bubbles' etc etc before a game. Even when the song comes on over the PA system, people still somehow manage to sing quicker than the song...
