Yeah that's a fair comment. The lack of foresight is astonishing when every other fucker apart from the board could see this situation down the line

God Lescott next to Colo, thats the stuff of dreams, lol

Even if Debuchy starts, if Williamson is starting at the back I just don't have any confidence of us keeping them out. Atleast we might have more fluidity if Cabaye comes back into the side.

Spot on. If Ashley had a sales rep who wasn't doing his job he be fucking outed. Just shows how horribly out of touch with football the board are that this knacker is still anywhere near the team.

Unless they can plug the gap next to Colo byt signing someone or keeping Saylor fit he could be the most significant factor in us going down. Goal per game mistake at the minute.

As shit as we were today you could argue that with Saylor playing we wouldn't have conceded either goal. I haven't seen as bad a defender for Newcastle since Boumsong but atleast he had some pace. The way he gave away that second ffs

The manner of that performance was pretty galling really. He's even starting to lose me a bit. Next 3 games decide his fate really.

We look like a league 1 side

Fair enough. Personally I'm completely apathetic about this game. If we play like this against Norwich then I'll be firmly in your camp.

What were people honestly expecting with this side out? I'm judging him after the next 3 league games when he's got a proper side out. If it's the same old shit after those games and we're still in the mire then yes I'll probably be in the ""he's lost it completely" camp

It's pathetically bad isn't it

Williamson's marking for that goal :rant:

Exactly

Coloccini/Cisse carrying minor knocks. Taylor/Cabaye not ready yet, back for Norwich hopefully. Debuchy not eligible. Marveaux played at Old Trafford/Emirates and against Everton so for a player very injury prone I'd say it's a good idea to rest him with massive league games coming up.

Really want to see him and HBA operating in the same side. Gives us two players who can take people on.

You'd like to think that playing with Cabaye, Debuchy, Cisse, HBA, Marveaux et al in front of 52,0000 week in week out for a club far less likely to go down would sway things in our favour wouldn't you.

Given we haven't won away from home all season I should probably file all the away games under "expecting nothing" :lol:

All tough games really but............ Winnable vital home games: Reading Southampton Fulham Stoke (Stoke aren't the same away from home) Difficult home games: Arsenal Liverpool Chelsea Mackems (never can tell with a derby) Crucial away games:.... QPR Villa Wigan Away games where some points might be possible Norwich Swansea West Ham West Brom Away games nothing expected at all Man City Spurs

"If" that's the case and he chooses QPR over us simply for a few more shillings we're probably best without him anyway. Like I said though "if" Sounds like pure speculation to me though.

OM are prepared to let him go but they're not just going to hand him over so it'll be the usual wrangling for a bit over transfer fee. They'll want as much as they can get so it won't happen over night. Seems there's genuine interest there though.

I'm already looking forward to his home debut against Reading. Will be in the Gallowgate willing the fucker on down the right :lol:

Shola never plays well when he starts. Umpteen managers put him on as a sub and he does well and they're then fooled into starting him the next game. It NEVER works and managers NEVER seem to pick up on this

"If" we sign him I'll have every confidence he'll do well. Carr has been scouting most of these players for a few years and they aren't bought on a whim. There's a risk with every transfer but Ashley doesn't part with approx 10m on a player who probably won't cut the mustard.

Once the match starts I'll probably be much more up for it than I'm feeling now. Agree that a win, any win would build some confidence. It's just exactly the sort of match we lose. Can see Williamson getting bundled over or slipping and the winner going in cue massive ITV "one of the greatest upsets EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" type carry on
