McClaren is a coward like. Petrified to take a risk and go for it. That's why we've only won 4 times all season. Colback ffs!

Happy 51st Birthday John! (Check out his photo on the born on this day bit on NUFC.com)

Why? When you are the King you can do what you want.

0-2

Aarons is never fit though.

Clearly wants to leave and has been unhappy here for a while. Thanks for that goal v Arsenal and good luck in China.

I'm not comparing. I was just suggesting we got a bit of luck, as you lamented we never get as opposed to the mackems. We took a shot and scored. Sunderland scored twice with 2 offside goals and their opponents had a player wrongly sent off with an hour of the match remaining. No point discussing this any further if you can't grasp the difference. I won't mention the penalty Janmaat should have had or the fact that Man Utd should have finished the game, maybe even the 1st half, with 9 men.

Nah it was already going in that's why he's been awarded the goal. Anyway you're comparing a perfectly legitimate goal with 2 offside goals and a sending off that wasn't one and will be rescinded. That's the point.

Quite a lot of money but I think he'd improve our team and would be a decent signing as long as it's not at the expense of a striker.

60 quid Amazon have them up for £6 Edit: Big D Lee ‏@aggaz09 9h9 hours ago @MirrorFootball well done Ashley chance to win a coat for the team to win and fans still moan spent £70m this season so far still not happy We're entrenched in yet another relegation battle under his leadership but because he's gave us the chance to win a coat all should be forgiven and we should be eternally grateful to this so generous man.

We got a very fortunate deflection goal in extra time to grab a point against Man U just 24 hours earlier. Not sure if serious. Why? You said you hoped we would get a bit of luck sooner rather than later. Technically speaking we got a somewhat fortunate point from a lucky goal just 3 or 4 minutes ago, in terms of playing time. That Dummett shot would probably still be orbitting the earth if it didn't take that deflection. On a serious note, I watched their game yesterday and their performance deserved the 3 points easily and Swansea were a complete mess. I think it's a false argument to point to their luck whilst discarding our own (Bournemouth anyone). We're both in the bottom three because we've both been playing s***, creating very little and conceeding loads. Luck has very little to do with it. Surely Dummett's shot would've had to be on target for him to be awarded the goal? It was, that's why he's been awarded the goal. The lad's clearly trolling.

Owen had a few massive injuries but still managed 26 goals which worked out at better than a goal every 3 games. I can only remember Luque getting the 4th against the mackems. Boumsong was just a dodgy transfer altogether and was Souness doing Rangers (and himself) a big favour.

Two offside goals and another opposition red card that'll be overturned. You got lucky, hope we get a bit sooner rather than later.

If it's been instigated by the player then it's best for all parties that he moves on. He won't be much good to us in a relegation battle if he wants to run home at the first sign of trouble because a few hundred fans gave him a bit of stick for diving and pretending to be hurt. If it's the club wanting to move him on then Carrs head needs to be on the chopping block because it's been a disastrous signing, of Luque and Boomsong proportions. Just find the whole situation bizarre.

Just looked back through this thread to when we were linked with him and then signed him and most people seemed to agree he wouldn't be a very good signing for us.

This is basically the top and bottom of it.

Last nights game is the reason these lucky b*stards aren't going down. Always seem to get a decision or 3 go their way when they really need it. They've only won twice against 11 men this season.

Officials pulled them out the clarts last season. Happening again this time round.

You've got far too much time on your hands like.

That's what I was thinking. He's had a couple of canny games but nothing you could call "complete control and dominance".

Felliani and Lingard could have had no complaints if they'd been sent off before half time. Thought the ref had a shocker.

He doesn't want to be here. We've just gone and signed 2 midfielders. If someone is prepared to pay £8m for him I'd take the money and run, especially if it funds a new striker.

Needs a rest. I'd play De Jong ahead of him on Saturday.

That's all there is to it. It's a lot to expect from someone that age to shoulder the responsibility for scoring the goals to keep us up. We need a senior striker to rotate with him. He's got loads of potential and is only going to get better, but I see him as a target man rather than a 15-20 goal a season striker. Aye that's how I see him as well. People expecting him to knock in 20+ goals a season in a couple of years time may well be disappointed. With proper coaching (hmmm) he could become a decent asset to us.
