I love this!

Ian what the fuck are you on about? We have been safe from relegation all season. We really haven’t like You're in the top 3 stupidest posters here. Enlighten me - when were we in serious relegation trouble? On October 5 the FiveThirtyEight site was quoting a 41% chance of relegation and projected us to finish in 18th place. At that stage we were 19th and had just lost 5-0 to Leicester. I was seriously worried and wasn't the only one. Who the fuck judges their team after SEVEN FUCKING GAMES? "We're fucking defo down after 7 games like" :lol: What happened after the Leicester game? We took 10 points from 5 games. This board is crackers. Absolutely crackers. I know who's crackers!

Lovenkrands was twice the player by the way.

But cost £40 million?

I would be furious watching that donkey Joelinton getting game time ahead of me.

I can't believe how poor he is. Yet some on here swear "there is a player in there somewhere". Beggars belief what they are watching!

I find him really hard to watch. Terrible scouting. The more I see of him the more I think what on earth went on with this particular transfer. He offers absolutely nothing!

Probably this.

Exactly! Have people suddenly forgotten about these type of performances which let's be fair was the norm. There was no one more pleased and indeed surprised at the Bournemouth result than me but these are few and far between.

Let's be honest here, where do you think Bruce will end up after getting peddled by Newcastle? The answer most fans will come to should indicate what standard of football manager he is. I know for an absolute fact that it will not be a top Premier team. He may not even get employment in the Premier league at all. However, little old Newcastle should let him have another go for some absurd reason (for beating Bournemouth and 10 man Sheffield apparently).

There is a reason why he has been at poor clubs you know. I can't see any decent Premier club coming in for him and there is a reason for that also. Basically he's poor at his job.

He was probably the only Newcastle player that had a poor game tonight. He's awful.

Beat me to it!

We are a totally different team when Gayle plays. We had our best performance tonight for a long time and the whole team were great, even Krahft. Just please, please leave Joelinton at home ( the only negative).

I think Norwich are a better team than us and I also think Bournemouth are a better team than us. My prediction is 1-0 to Bournemouth. I am staggered that we are above both of these teams.

Take De Bruyne our they are a shadow of themselves. Nowhere near as good as the were 18 months ago or even a year ago. Whilst that's true they barely had to get play at the top of their game tonight to get a result. If they never got that penalty, would they be able to up their game? Loads of teams have nullified them with the low block, we have took 4 points against them in our last 2 games against them by doing that, and are unlucky to not have 5 out of 9. Compare them to 18 months ago they are not playing anywhere near what they used too. Pep’s tactics have been found out now. My god! It could/should have been easily 5 or 6 conceded today. Man City are fantastic, you couldn't be anymore wrong.

As I posted in the match thread he fucked the first half, but second half did everything right imo. Gayle scores and he's done a great job imo. Credit where it's due. FFS!

Tight, compact 5-4-1 defensive game playing on the counter? Is that not exactly what Rafa did when we won 2-1? I repeat, YOU know f##k all about football!

Anyone who says this performance is the same as under Rafa know absolutely f##k all about football!

And that's why it was a daft question. Only 45 minutes of this disgraceful performance, thank God.

The Alamo springs to mind.

Not going to happen though so pointless discussing it.

I couldn't believe he didn't get man of the match. The BBC co-commentator (not sure who it was) gave mom to Maguire for no reason whatsoever. Goldfish Bowl Wanker That was Jenas wasn't it?

I'm looking forward to it more than usual for some reason. Can't really put my finger on it but I have a feeling it'll be a good game to watch based on absolutely nowt. Can't get myself up for this somehow. I predict 1-3.
