This. You're 2 points behind Fulham who apparently are playing well. That doesn't mean you can't be justifiably angry at performances/tactics, but surely maintain some context at this stage of the season. It's not February. It's not even December. Can't believe there's been so much relegation talk. Look at almost every table from the past few years at this point and compare it to the end of the season, always so much change between now and then. Aye, just look at this one for example: http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/premier-league/2008-2009/table/2008-11-22 Yes, look at Tottenham. So basically we need a new manager or we are f*cked?

West Brom when ? and Fulham is hardly comparable..... Best on the left and Shola upfront and no Tiote It's pretty obvious that not only the system we deployed in that run of games but the style is more suitable to the players we have than long ball and 4-4-2

Shame if that happens, i was hoping we would go in for him.

Honestly i think the most reason i'm angry apart from the obvious tactics and performances is that we just lost 3 games in a row but not just any games. Games against Swansea, West Ham and Southampton, games i expected to be taking 9 points from and we took 0 and quite frankly didn't even look like coming close to taking anything.

It's true that the table is ridiculously tight at the moment, we are 3 points from 9th and 6 points from 5th. The problem is i just don't see where the next point is even coming from at the moment, if we was playing well and losing i wouldn't be so concerned but we don't even look like scoring at the moment.

Bent would be f*cking useless in this current set up..... he's merely a poor mans Cisse with even worse link up. ( not to say Cisse's is bad btw) Exactly the kind of player we don't need, if he was cheap and excepted a bench role and we played football that created chances then maybe but as it is not a chance in hell.

Thinking about transfers is a lot more fun at this point than thinking about the actual games. It would be if we weren't owned by Ashley though....... Or had a manager who could get the best out of said players Ah it's cool man, we'll just pay it. Yh.....

Aerial threats in general

Yh what i meant should have worded my post better..... i saw him but not in his prime

I didn't get to see him much in his prime but will always remember him being quite one footed but probably having a left foot that was better than most people's left and right combined It's funny his free kicks are mentioned because he seemed some what of a specialist ( where have those gone btw? ) A proper #10 and quite frankly there's not enough players like him anymore, he always reminded me of Maradona in terms of style and probably is seen as much of a hero in Romania as Maradona is in Argentina. I honestly wonder where his type has disappeared to in today's game as they are quite a rarity nowadays.

It sometimes hard to portray sarcasm on the internet and yes it is ridiculous.

Not sure if serious? plenty of people have been sacked in the past despite being ransacked by injuries.... injuries or no injuries it's a results business and if Pardew can't get those results over the next few months i have no doubt that Ashley will pull the trigger. We cannot risk our PL status especially with the TV money increase next season.

The home game against Stoke was ridiculous we f*cking took the piss could have easily been 7 or 8 can't believe how it's gone all downhill

We did but then we somehow proceeded to turn that corner and smash into an upcoming wall.

3 of those 4 are out of contract in the summer so you never know [/clutchingatstrawswearingboxinggloves]

Robin Bairner ‏@RBairner Rumours in France that #Newcastle have Saint-Etienne attacker Pierre-Emerick #Aubameyang on their shortlist of targets for Jan. #NUFC So maybe the Mirror wasn't talking utter waffle. Although we could go on a 30m spree and it wouldn't do much good if Pardew doesn't sort out the bloody tactics and style of play among other things.

I thought Lampard was fantastic in Chelsea's CL run personally came up with a lot of clutch moments i fully get his nomination. But Gerrard? f*ck me i think Guthrie had a better season

Right side of a front 3 with freedom to roam like Mata and Hazard are for Chelsea ( atleast under Di Matteo anyway) would work too.

Gerrard and Modric shouldn't be there.

The winning at all costs thing means nothing in this scenario because we are getting no points with this style of play The thing is the carpet football stuff suits the team more and will most likely get more results than this abysmal shite we are deploying at the moment with no success. I feel sorry for the likes of Marveaux, Cisse, Cabaye, Anita, Ben Arfa etc etc they deserve a much better brand of football than this.

It will do, Ashley can't risk losing out on all that TV money increase coming in next season.

Kind of my point..... if we can't control football matches and being overrun in midfield how are we supposed to create chances to attack? It all stems from that, obviously more deep-rooted than all that but you get my point.

Our problem is being overrun in midfield, controlling games and creating chances for Ba and Cisse more than defending. How many saves did the Southampton GK make?
