Yes and I'm sure plenty people reacted by just walking out. Some people applauded them and those who let them know they were unhappy were well within their rights to display their displeasure after watching us lie down to them twice in 3 months as well.

What you think they should have been applauded off after that fiasco? Fuck off man.

Him and his team were deservedly booed at the end of Sundays match. After a performance like that after lying down to them in December as well I'm not sure why they'd expect anything different. I'd have booed them as well if I'd been there. They were a disgrace. If you're happy to take the plaudits when things are going well you've got to be prepared to accept justified criticism, and it was 100% justified, when you lie down to your local rivals. Social media is pretty much split 50/50 on him as well. There's no way any potential manager would be put off by anything that's happened this week amd the suggestion that they would be is just plain silly

How exactly has he been treated can I ask? There's hardly been the levels of vitriol aimed at the likes of Arsene Wenger for example in his last season at Arsenal, when fans even started boycotting, and he did pretty well there.

I'm not a fan of his at all and he's looking like he's going to be another £55m flop alongside Elanga but there's nowt to lose in these last 7 games. We're basically just playing for prize money now. Give him a run. If he makes absolutely no impact look at just shifting him out and taking the hit in the summer.

Season is pretty much over now. We aren't making Europe and out of all the cups. Give the lad another run up front for the last 7 games and see if he can bang in a few goals, get his confidence up and finish on a high. Actually hoy Wissa in as well. Play the pair of them together and see how they do and if it looks like there's anything there to work with next season.

Or 1 out of our last 5 depending on how you want to dress it up I suppose, against Chelsea. That was actually an anomaly as it was a great defensive performance uncharacteristic of the season generally, our only clean sheet in the last 17 games, so I was somewhat surprised that for the following match he changed 50% of the defence around. We ended up conceding 7.

Don't need to mate. I attended every single home game that season, league and cup, and around 75% of aways. Team got booed off at the end and most people didn't stay for the Lap of Honour. Tbf if they'd stayed on the pitch rather than going back to the dressing room for 10 mins before coming back out more would probably have hung back.

The crowd that day reacted to an absolutely pathetic display against an already relegated Wolves team. They were booed off at FT and only a few thousand stayed back for the lap of honour. That was as bad as the treatment got. Let's not pretend people were chanting for him to be sacked or had banners to that effect. He was never booed personally. His team were booed off in that particular match. It was nothing to do with finishing 5th either. We still had 2 games left to play after that and could still have finished 4th if we'd won them both (didn't win either).

Well we've got a clear run now. 7 games with no interruptions. Hopefully we can kick on ourselves but we've given ourselves a load to do. 5 wins from 7 puts us on 57 points which would have been good enough for 9th place last season.

It was clear as day that we were a team in decline and that Robson should have went that summer and it was no surprise that we started the following season poorly. The big mistake Freddy Shepherd made was bringing in Souness because he thought he'd be the man to sort out the "Brat Pack" instead of getting in a proper manager.

I'm not all that interested in those possession figures. Mpre importantly they are 12 points ahead of us in a season where we are in the Champions League and they are in the Europa League. Last season they were in the Champions League and we weren't in Europe at all and we finished level with them on 66 points. They manage the extra games better than we do. Whether that's down to them having a better squad or making better use of it is up for debate.

Qarabag (H) was a great example of awful squad management tbf.

Aye the Brat pack as they were known back then. Dyer, Jenas, Bramble, Bellamy all taking the piss.

And we were lucky to get that. Wolves should have been 2-0 up in the first 10 mins. Thankfully Larsen was injured that day!

Don't man

Disagree. They were all comfortable, routine wins helped by poor opposition.

Tbf a lot of our CL matches weren't exactly intense energy sapping games. I'm thinking USG, Benfica, PSV, Bilbao, Qarabag. All pretty routine. Also for whatever reason it always feels preferable to play on Tuesdays/Wednesdays as opposed to Thursdays.

Also gets a free pass for bringing Ramsdale in whilst loaning out a Greek International Goalkeeper who is having a very good season in La Liga with Sevilla without giving him a chance I suppose. Seen him play a handful of times this season and I'll stick my neck out here and say he's better than what we've got.

Good job we brought in 2 expensive strikers and a goalie in the summer then

Not sure what mitigating circumstances you are referring to but we can no longer defend, are easily dominated in midfield, no longer press properly meaning we're easy to play through, concede a ridiculous amount of goals at the ends of each half, and have no sort of playing style. This latest trend of not turning up after HT as has been the case v Man City, Barcelona and Sunderland is also a concern. If people are genuinely believing that's all down to selling Isak I have some magic beans they may be interested in buying.

It's a fair question. Actually it's a good question. I absolutely love how Eddie conducts himself, his commitment to the job is beyond question, he's invested in the city, talks about his kids being Geordies, he mingles with the other parents at the grassroots games. He's a true gentleman, in the same mould as Keegan and Sir Bobby. He's in that group of 3 of not only our best modern day managers but also a genuinely nice and decent bloke. Ultimately though it's a results business and results and performances are miles away frpm.where they need to be right now and have been for most of the season. His tactics have been questionable, things that we used to be good at, we aren't any more and he's spent a lot of money on poor players who have taken the club back over unfortunately If I'm being totally honest the real reason I would be happy for him to leave now is that I couldn't bear the thought of the crowd, the Newcastle public turning against him. It would be utterly horrendous. I thrived in seeing the abuse Bruce took because he's an odious individual who deserved everything he got but Eddie is at the other end of the scale. I don't want any of the good he's done here, and he's done loads, to be tarnished in any way. Absolutely hated watching his post match interview yesterday. He cares so much that it hurts. I actually thought he looked like a broken man. He just doesn't seem to have the answers any more. It's just the same old, same old. Whatever my thoughts are I believe he has 7 games to save his job. Out of all the cups, back to 1 game a week pretty much, more time on the training pitch with the players and see what happens. If these 7 games mirror the previous 31 and we end up finishing around where we are now I think he'll be away, and I think that would be the best for all parties.

If Liverpool get Champions League again and win the FA Cup (I mean they could still win the CL but I can't see it) I don't think they'd get rid of Slot.

For all those saying we'd have no chance of landing Alonso (probably cos he once managed Real Madrid), did you expect Everton, the absolute epitome of PL mediocrity, to go out and bring in one of the best and most decorated managers in world football in Carlo Ancelotti? In fact closer to home would bringing in Alonso be a bigger shock to you than when the Mike Ashley NUFC, plummeting to the Championship brought in Rafa Benitez as manager? Nobody knows what might happen so saying X manager will definitely not come here is just plain silly. I hate the use of the word but managers often go to places because they like the "project". If it's of interest to them, they'll be interested themselves.

Thought he wouldn't have done as badly as was being made out.
