Shit goalkeeping!

And his strengths are? Seriously, his hold up play is shocking, he can't head a ball, he does not know how to run the channels and his movement in the box is non existent. Never in a million years is this bloke a striker! I don't think hes a striker either. However, he shows flashes of decent play on the wings now and again. Having said that, I do feel for him because there is usually fuck all for him to pass to most of the time he has the ball with him. He's shit, but I feel he could look somewhat decent if we had something of a well drilled attacking plan. Still, not a 40m player and most certainly not a striker/player you rely on for regular goals at this level - which just makes the transfer all the more baffling. Well at least we both agree he is shit. I certainly haven't seen these flashes of decent play however. He doesn't even have any pace. I haven't got a clue why he is here, what purpose he is or even how he ended up being a professional and getting paid for it. I do agree we play with no game plan etc

Incredibly accurate.

He is not and never will be a number 9. How can I see it and that useless fraud manager Bruce can't?

Sorry to sound thick but what does this mean? I get bemused by the whole xG thing. Edit: New page thick twat Expected

EXPECTED

I hope they get to the play off final at Wembley, show themselves up at Trafalgar, get beaten in the last minute or on penalties and spend yet another year in division 3. Sad tw@ts that they are.

Perfectly put, I just hope that love isn't lost forever Good post and sums up my feelings also. After nearly 70 years of watching MY CLUB who were a real part of my life my interest is gone. I have even lost interest in the other games which is strange. Thanks Mike, who is now being ably assisted by Bruce That post is bang on. That's exactly how I feel. How come the local and national press haven't jumped on this? Why does Ashley have it easy? It totally baffles me that people/fans are literally kowtowing to this awful man/bully. Stand up to him for goodness sake!

He did scuff it into the ground. To be fair to him the ball bobbled just as he struck it, that's how he scuffed the shot a bit. If the bobble caused a mishit, surely he would have got his foot under the ball, not over it. He definitely miss hit the shot.

A league one team passing the ball better than us, I despair.

I love the sarcasm.

Calm down everyone, That performance was pathetic.

Excellent research manorpark. I have the same information pack but it's obviously in the loft somewhere.

Fingers crossed that you are right. I actually think we will stumble to safety. However, the whole situation reminds me of the mackems in their last 3 or 4 seasons in the top flight. Their goalkeeper always won player of the season (Dubravka?). They were heavily reliant on loan players (sound familiar). Celebrated finishing 17th (it could be us). Gave away thousands of free tickets (is it becoming clearer?). And frightingly they were massively mismanaged from top to bottom and that is where we are at this moment in time. I truly hope I'm wrong, it may not be this season but it is happening, the club are in a downward spiral.

Which papers over the cracks don't you think?

I had a similar conversation with a season ticket holder friend of mine. He claimed we were safe from relegation as there were three teams worse than us. I asked him to name the teams and they were Norwich, Villa and Watford. I reminded him that both Norwich and Villa played us off the park earlier in the season (and before 0-0 on Saturday). I also reminded him Watford were unlucky to leave St James' with just a point. He completely zoned out at this point and may as well stuck his fingers in his ears. I honestly haven't seen three worse teams than us.

Same here. However, a full house ffs. What has this owner to do to make them wake up? The fans are regularly lied to, fed a load of PR bullshit and have to watch that total garbage. A season ticket holder friend (cough) of mine says if we play the same and get the Chelsea result everytime then he is happy with that. I politely told him that he and his like were the biggest problem we have.

Getting 2m for him now would be a good deal. Man, this is unfortunate. You folks are really prepared to just throw this guy away now. I hear you Kaka, but he has been shocking - regardless of off-field circumstances. I know, but the majority of our players have been, and so it makes no sense to turn on individuals like people are now doing. The whole team does not function and hasn't at any point this season. I don't understand why because we have scraped some results people pretend otherwise. Absolutely nailed it. How fans cannot see this garbage from Bruce is beyond me.

I found this embarrassing. For all the Newcastle fans saying it was an easy mistake to make....that’s absolute bollocks I’m afraid. I wasn’t born for another 20 years but I know it was ‘74. I know we won 3 FACs in the 1950s (51,52,55). How would you not know that as a fan who LIVED through it? I’m sure the old timers on here would never forget that it was 1974. In fact I bet many of them would say that the game at Hillsbrough v Burnley is up there with the best game they ever attended. Thats how you remember. Bruce is a fucking charlatan man. I was at the final in 1974 and all of the games leading to the final. I still see friends from that day and we love to reminisce with huge smiles on our faces. I remember EVERYTHING from that day as if it were yesterday.

We were never rock solid mind. Everything in front of us, never got in behind, cleared everything that came in the box, we were never ever in any danger. You are talking absolute nonsense!

You are talking absolute rubbish! We were never rock solid mind. Everything in front of us, never got in behind, cleared everything that came in the box, we were never ever in any danger.

Seriously?

Christ man, HTT. Are you ok?

they are but there was 42 leagues games that season. never be beaten mind. cole was a top striker who was sold because he couldn't play with paul kitson. he won doubles and trebles and we didn't . Fergie was right Keegan was wrong is the uncomfortable truth. Shearer with Ferdinand were unplayable. Keegan was right, Fergie got lucky!
