Merson today man, had to turn the TV off. Started off ridiculing the west ham fans for wanting to see good football then launches into the most ludicrous defence of allardyce. Was along the lines of the style if play wasnt his fault- he played football to suit the strengths of the players he had available to utilise at the time (aye, he signed them all dickhead.) If it wasn't for allardyce then west ham wouldn't have the likes of payet and lanzini at the club now (why? Bilic signed them when he was overhauling the s*** yet expensive squad allardyce left behind, these aren't players SA would look at signing in a month of Sundays.) And I'll tell you another thing, if noocarsell hadn't got rid of him they'd never have been rele... Ah f*** off man where's the remote. Bilic has shown up allardyce this season, he's shown that west ham fans were right to be critical of allardyces football and he's shown that they didn't need to be "careful what they wished for" as they were being patronised left, right and centre. And all of allardyces cronies hate it and bitterly resent that they have been proven so wrong. Someone far less ranty and probably far more intelligent than me has written a similar thing here, if you prefer your football writing vaguely comprehensible http://www.football365.com/news/west-ham-smashing-the-glass-ceiling-sam-allardyce-built

What a cry baby. God knows how he progressed from grassroots football to be a professional ref. I used to get worse dissent than that reffing under 13s in the coast colts league man

Stoke to win 3-0, McClaren to say how tremendous we were taking into account the travelling the lads have done recently. And something about a reaction-either needing one or having got one, but he will probably wait to see the "attempted crosses" stats before deciding which.

Things not worked out with that 24/7 PA he was after then??

That is some impressive knowledge of paedo-related trivia

http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/just-burst-out-laughing.1200837/page-3 Imagine 'digitally penetrating' a child because sunderland.... One drunken man punches a horse and it's all over the TV and we are all slated as horse punchers. A few years earlier YouTube footage showed a load of them ransacking a riot van, no media coverage and no one speaks of it. One of those things doesn't happen very often and is a living thing. Was also a bit of a case of "wrong place wrong time" in that it was right in front of a camera that hoyed it on all the next day's front pages. Was watching a fly-on-the-wall police thing based in Manchester and on one of their episodes two horses got smacked outside the derby at Old Trafford. We've since also seen two newspaper reports posted on here of horses being assaulted in Sunderland of all places. Unfortunately however a picture paints a thousand words, and Barry McCuntface with his scarf wrapped round his head like some sort of failed jihadi squaring up to a horse like a drunk boxer got sent around the world so, you know jawdees, horse punchaz teeheehee etc.

Why? To which part? Why would you want Rodgers over Moyes. Moyes is in a rut, he was laughed out of Spain, laughed out of Manchester.. he found a comfort zone at Everton, who despite being mediocre have always been a far more stable club than us. I don't dislike the guy but that's no reason to want him in as a manager. Rodgers went a bit flat at Liverpool but was he really doing any worse than Klopp is now? I don't particularly like Rodgers but I reckon his ideas may get more enthusiasm from our bunch, the rotten wasters.. Our club responds to having a larger than life personality at the helm, now neither Rodgers or Moyes fall into that category.. Rafa would be far superior but ultimately not realistic as Ashley wouldn't throw that kind of cash at something sensible.. Didn't Moyes survive a couple of close shaves with relegation in his first few years at Everton before he sorted them out eventually? Not convinced he'd bring the short term boost we probably need right now. It's all academic. Can't see charnley ever hiring someone who actually knows about football because he'd be shown up and his position undermined in a matter of days.

Lee Clarke likes this but only when they loose. Chris Houghton thinks they shouldn't of lost.

They actually ban people on there?!?

If we go down as I am expecting I sincerely hope these stay up. If nothing else, I am fucking sick of playing them, and a league with us, them and villa would be tough to get out of.

This Oh Aye, it'll showcase the north east at its finest!!

Sort of understand what you are saying and I think most on here wanted him to succeed as he seems like a decent bloke. Fact is though he's not good enough and is now talking s**** to cover how badly we have been playing. I didn't think he was the right manager when appointed, but seemed to be an upgrade on Carvdew and really wanted to give him a chance, not least because he seemed like a decent, honest bloke. The comments have got more and more ridiculous/Pardew-esque and to be frank he lost me with his ridiculous totting up and bragging about attempted crosses after the Watford Cup game. With every passing week he seems more and more the chancer who is doing anything he can to cling onto his last premier league paycheck for as long as possible by pulling the wool over his thick bosses' eyes.

Short term, it's potentially the best option. Him and Colo know each other's game well enough, and he normally has 4 or 5 good games back before losing concentration and getting sent off/losing concentration, being shit and getting dropped/tripping over the touchline and getting injured. The next 3 home games are crucial (we can forget about getting anything from Chelsea away) and he's probably a better option than hoying Janmaat at CB and shoe-horning someone else in at RB or whatever other options we have available as a club. What have we come to as a club man??

Jesus.

Two more defeats and he's gone I reckon. We all know Ashley loves an international break-sized gap between games to make his big announcements. Problem is, which dinosaur would get hired next? Ron Atkinson? Dave Bassett? There's no way a Rodgers or even a Moyes would work under this set of cunts.

You, sir. You are insane. What's the alternative? Let him support someone else? That wouldn't feel right. I'm born and bred as a Tynesider, my family all bleed black and white, my grandfather and great uncles were present for Fair Cup finals. He would be the first male in my family to change football teams. It's no small thing that you know. You still living in the North East? No. Ah right, would be interested to know if many kids in Newcastle and Sunderland are becoming glory hunters or if the most are still supporting the local teams You're right by the way to encourage your kid to support Newcastle. Will give you something to bond over as he grows older I don't live in Newcastle anymore, but go back very regularly. I've noticed a rise in the number of young uns wearing tops of other teams- Man City in particular. Back when I was growing up it wasn't like that at all, if you lived in Newcastle and didn't support Newcastle you either had family roots from elsewhere or you were, well, a bit of an odd kid. I do wonder how much of this change is down to the success bought by your Man City/Chelsea, and how much is down to the current NUFC regime letting the club turn to shit. I have a feeling the real damage done by Ashley won't become apparent for another 10-15 years.

Got his fetlocks wired tbh

I think some of the journalists had already written their stories on it to be honest. There were songs sung and booing at the end as well as abuse from about half the fans there, but nothing like the ferocity of the Leicester cup game last season imo. Most of the negativity was directed at the club in general for being shit and Ashley, but there was an airing of "don't know what you're doing" aimed at McClaren just after he subbed Mbabu. The chanting really started about 20 minutes from the end, but was as half-hearted as the support had been beforehand imo. What really struck me most of all was the air of resignation to it all. Just my opinion, but it seems that apathy rather than anger is what has really kicked in for a large proportion of fans. But it's harder for Ryder/Douglas/Edwards to make as good a headline out of that.

Ahh but its different when your fans favourite player does it. So many hypocrites in our support. Name a fans favourite who has done what Thauvin allegedly did? Tbf Perez did something similar (going down and staying down for no reason when the match carried on) at Bournemouth in front of the away fans, and tbf he got pelters off most the fans for it and all- and he'd already scored what turned out to be the only goal of the game!!! Suppose the big difference is we weren't desperate for an equaliser with 3 minutes left at the time.

Were you at the match yesterday? Miscontrolled a ball early on and that was it from open play, head went down, didn't want to chase anything, didn't look particularly interested full stop. I wouldn't blame him for being demotivated at the club, but giving up isn't going to help. The body language thing is just as bad when Costa does it, and tbf he gets grief off Chelsea fans/media. I'm not in favour of ridiculing him, but I do expect him to apply himself properly and look like he's trying- moreso in light of the fact he hasn't scored many goals- and if he doesn't it's worthy of criticism regardless of nationality. Doesn't mean I'm hanging around to flick Vs at him after the match either mind

Not that I saw. We didn't get into Millers as it was designated for them only, most of our fans seemed to have just gone straight through to Watford, didn't see many til we got there.

Its absolutely nothing to do with foreigners man. Its the fact that they're all s***, week in week out regardless of nationality. Aye but with likes of Mitrovic/Thauvin, they are young lads coming from abroad having to adapt to the league very quickly and a new lifestyle in general. There's no support from the fans if they don't hit the ground running. They're young, they're going to make mistakes, they're going to do certain things wrong or say the wrong things in the media. Our fans would have them shipped off back where they came from if given the chance. Fans moan when players don't come over and acknowledge their 'support' at final whistle and walk straight down tunnel. Yet when they do come over, they just get yelled to f*** off and w***** signs shown at them. When I was down at West Brom, Thauvin was first of a handful who came over and clapped. The abuse he got was a disgrace for the lad, he'd been on the pitch for about 5 minutes. This I agree with. Was embarrassing at the end yesterday. Half the fans sort of half-heartedly applauded them off, the other half seemed to want to abuse anyone they could. As if its the players fault the state the club is in. And don't get me started on "we want our money back."

What should I say about his attitude then Brett? Having strolled around the pitch in a strop looking like he doesn't give a shit for 90 minutes, Alexander Mitrovic's attitude was spot on and well played son?? The rest of them at least seemed to be trying yesterday, he stuck out like a sore thumb. We need to see more of the player who came on against Spurs and turned the game around with fire in his belly. If he misses a few chances along the way, that's more than forgivable. I'd hope the "white shola" comment was tongue in cheek mind!!
