Because his touch is shit and he can't pass or tackle. So pretty much the same as the rest of our centre midfield So why fucking buy him then? We bought him on the back of his performances as a CENTRAL MIDFIELDER then proceeded to play him on the wing. If you bought Shearer and played him at left back he probably wouldn't look too good either.

I really like this guy. He's not quick but he has that Nolan-esque ability of just being where he needs to be without ever actually running anywhere. Links up play intelligently, knows when to drop off and give an option and when to push and most importantly he actually seems to care. I'd give him the no.10 spot for the rest of the season. Townsend on the left, Mitro up top, Siem dictating play with Shelvey and Saivet behind him. If we can find a heart for the tin man then Sissoko on the right, otherwise, fuck him and put someone else there.

Townsend on the left please. Think we might win this. I think Rafa is getting a handle on who he can rely and who actually gives a shit now so we'll see a few changes in the lineup.

Pay peanuts get monkeys. It's the same throughout the whole structure of the club, people are (or were) in key positions not because of ability but because of cost and pliability. The only place we've spent a decent wedge is the first team but that's only been this season and the money was spent not with sporting competition in mind but future profit. You can't run a bakery like this never mind a premier league football club. Hopefully Ashley is starting to realise this now and no matter what division we're in next season thumbhead will be handed his P45 and someone suitably qualified for the job will be brought in. Hand Rafa the keys to the kingdom and give him carte blanche to restructure the club from top to bottom.

Get in Jonas Kick em in the nuts

Maybe thinks he'll get a new contract if we get relegated.

Passion and fighting is still the opposite of melting. However you describe it - they dn't have the mental fortitude for the fight. Georginio. Are you suggesting that Rafa has made them worse? I'm suggesting their performances have deteriorated. The few positive things they used to do have stopped. Do you disagree with that? I'm not blaming Rafa. But obviously we haven't gotten any better since he arrived. He's by far the best out of the 4 managers we've had over the last 2 years and he hasn't elicited a response from the group. The common thread is the group of players. I do blame the players but can't remember many positives pre Rafa. Neither can I. But Janmaat & Sissoko down the right from an attacking perspective... well chance creation perspective where better than they are now. That's all I wanted to say. They had a decent partnership down that side. Now Sissoko is playing left wing where he is worse than useless and Janmaat has Townsend in front of him who is cutting inside every time he gets it.

Eventually?

Yeah, the bloke is a cunt but why did we buy a hard working central midfielder and play him on the wing?

Needs to play on the left imo. Playing on the right he just cuts inside every single time which makes him easy to defend against and starves us of much needed width and crosses.

Let them train with the kids for however long it takes to get the message. Seeing their international careers go down the drain might be a wakeup call to one or two at least. The rest? Fuck them, let them rot.

First thing i'd do is tell them that if we get relegated not one single player will be sold. They either get the club promoted again or they rot for a season.

Kind of hoping none of your kids are named Joshua.

Well, we've only won six games all season and the players don't give a fuck and right now we don't look like we could win a 'Which team is from the city of Newcastle, plays at St James' Park and is Newcastle United' competition but I can definitely see us winning four from those six. Fuck it, we'll win the world cup in game 39 too.

It's a load of shit. If they can't motivate themselves for a manager of the pedigree and experience of Benitez they're sure as fuck not going to do anything for one of the shite merry go round tossers. This vaunted transfer policy of ours has come back to bite Mike (not our Mike) in his big fat arse. Sell the club as a stepping stone, downplay it's significance and stature and don't be surprised that the mercenaries you end up with have as much heart and fight and pride and motivation as a horse at a glue factory.

At least if it's an overcast moonless night there's a mild chance he might get severe sunstroke.

Least Colback's available next week.

Lascelles killed himself?

Just need them to get about four sent off now. Sent from my laptop using Firefox

I'd rather play the kids than half of this shower. We'd still get beat but they might at least show a bit of pride and heart.

Wish he'd stop playing Sissoko and Townsend on their wrong sides.

Shite all season, no heart, no clue, no pride and we're suddenly gonna come up with top 4 form with a few games left? No chance. We're down and it's richly deserved.

Where in China are you?
