You're all over the place here, as are most people when it comes to Anita imo. A lot of the things he does atm he's clearly being asked to do. Again just think back to games under Pardew, he played much higher up and often got in and about the opposition penalty area. He's being told not to do that now, it's as plain as day. As for doing nothing with the ball he's rarely got any decent options for a forward pass and I'm guessing he's also bring told not to play it long. Lurching into criticisms of him not being physically imposing or whatever when we're discussing how he uses the ball and is literally the only player we have who does it is just pointless imo. He's a limited midfielder and we need to upgrade, but he's good at doing what he's being asked to do. The main problem is the overall system isn't working so he's being scapegoated by some for that when he's actually probably the only one doing what he's being asked I don't know what he's being asked to do but whatever it is he ain't very good at it btw.

Thought this was quite amusing; http://www.afc-chat.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=39414#entry1220490

Typical. The horse he was on about bolting to the cart turned out to be nothing more than an asthmatic pit pony.

I would rather they did all their talking on the pitch but saying how they're incapable of doing that they think this is the next best thing. It's not and people can see straight through it.

Shawcross.

Good old Steve had just been sacked by a lower league club and was the cheap option. Ring any bells? Thing is if he takes us down he will turn into a very expensive appointment which will cost in excess of £100m.

Looks like Radio Newcastle will be looking for a new commentator then.

Home win.

NUFC.com not pulling any punches today.

Need more Colback

He's hopeless mind but not as culpable as those who appointed him or who sign his players for him.

Could have had Austin for the same price and a chance of winning the last 3 games. No need to sign him when we can play De Jong up front on his own.

Think we'll both have new managers by the time the derby comes round.

Well reading through this thread so far he's every bit as sh*t as a lot of us predicted he would be with the attitude we'd thought he'd have. Basically everything we didn't need or want. Another Carr master stroke and no doubt.

Good.

Could miss the next two league games i think Finally some good news.

Man City will no doubt go through the motions 2nd half which is a bit of a shame.

4 in 11 minutes!

Never known a set of football fans anywhere get as worked up over an airport as they do.

Livingston now play at the Tony Macaroni Arena. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/scottish-football-now-home-most-6486236

Couldn't believe it when he came out with that! Unsurprisingly nobody bothered to pull him up on such a ridiculous comment.

2,250 Watford fans as well so only 45,500 home supporters which is pretty poor especially for a 3pm Saturday kick off. Could well drop off a lot further over the next few games now they don't have the season ticket numbers they've had in previous years. For me personally this is the first season since the mid 1980's that I haven't went to any of the first 3 home games and I've got no intention of going to a match any time soon either.

They have excellent support tbf. They had 18,000 at home to Fulham on Saturday. Leeds brought 6,000 up here a couple of seasons ago in the League Cup.

It's going the way the the majority of us expected it to.

I'm not. Thought he was a pointless signing before he'd kicked a ball for us.
