Could be argued there still are arseholes but he has managed them, or not included them even. He is hugely responsible for the feel good factor at the camps and therefore in the squad and team. Think he's done a pretty great job. Just needs the rub of the green and the team, a little more big game experience. Which they have now.

Also, we desperately need some Pace in CD and CM in Jan. Priorities for me.

7. I don't agree we're gone....yet. I do think the next 3 games are massively critical. From today, I think having Dubs in we'd have won. I also don't see many teams down there with a front three/four like us. We just need to get the balance and look a little tighter at the back. If we continue to get the fitness up and win 2 of the next 3 I think we're still totally in the mix. If we can keep the gap to a minimal of 3/4 points by January I think we'll be ok. - Keep the Faith.

Shearer, Gazza, HBA & some popcorn!

Everyone knows the score. The entire club was rotting from top to bottom. This blame game shit should stop, from what I see today Howe is strong enough in his own convictions to move Jones on if he's not wanted. I feel he's a good coach who has probably been trying to do 3 jobs himself, while the 3 Steve's treat the club like a Holiday Camp. Starting to think these players haven't seen any real tactics or fitness since Rafa Left. Let's just see how he gets on with Howe leading the team. If he's found out, he's marched - simple. He stopped the rot somewhat the last few weeks - that's something.

I'll start. Play: Dubs Manq. Hayden Willock Almiron ASM Wilson Schar Bench: Fed Lascelles Dummet Joelinton Lewis Bin: Clark Darlow Ritchie Kraft Shelvey Hendrick Gayle

Can Matt Ritchie ever miss the first man! ffs

get the fuck in!

Hayden and Shelvey are like two WW2 veterans with artificial hips. So immobile. I'd still start Amdy Faye over these two.

Todays word of the day - Jog.

Agree. I'm all for Schar and Fed too. I'd not start the other 3 at all.

Imagine Fonseca trying to get a tune out of that defence? ffs lol comical stuff. Playing it out from the back, modern football. They can't even say their own names. Lascelles - Captain! that header today showed how much of a leader he is. He's another Steven Taylor - All talk and bluster. No skill or brains.

Can we just say we've lost the game, then go 433 and have a fucking go for shits and giggles now? Cut this embarrassing coward shit out.

I'd play Gateshead back 3 over these. All very very limited.

Anyone can do what Shelvey does, he's a fucking charlatan. He does what Pirlo does but on the toes of his own defence. Gives us 6 men behind the ball plus Hayden who can't do anything but play behind he ball. 7 of 11 behind the play! classic.

We have no interest in the ball. We never press. We just mark space. All 11 players marking space - it's not even football, there is no point to this team.

Honestly, this is dire man! So negative, it's untrue! worse than anything I've seen for years. Cowardly!

Few too many of our defenders waltz around looking like the big man but do fuck all. Not touch tight, not winning first or second balls, clumsy, immobile and fucking useless. Championship Level Defenders that they all in fact are.

Like I said a few pages back. He's not my first choice or a glamour manager. But let's be fair, we're pretty shit from top to bottom. Seems a few of the big lads in the frame were but off by the task at hand, while Eddie has the balls to take it on. I don't think he's the type to stagnate and come for the contract, he's coming to succeed and improve the club and himself. Would be nice if we all gave him the love, support and energy we gave Keegan and Sir Bobby, who knows maybe he'll rise to the occasion and surprise us all. If he keeps us up it's win-win anyway. The fact he's a good man, who enjoys attacking football and can communicate is something alone. Howay the lads!

Obviously very disappointed with all this. But watching a few Howe Videos on his Process, attitude and football beliefs, I see him as similar to Rogers. I'd like someone who wants to be here and is not a delicate flower, from the sounds of it Emery is a little delicate. I appreciate Howe or Fonseca are not in his League, yet. But let's give him a crack. He's still night and day ahead of the last few 'Managers' we've had skill wise. He also seems a really likable yet driven individual, who might just step up another level with the right encouragement, support and backing. I'm surprised by his 'dark' side he speaks about - the guys a winner! He's young and progressive - get the lad in and let's get behind him. If he does well, it's his to keep, if he's shite we move on.

this, 100%!

I remember swapping Panini stickers in a hut inside the Leazes End when I was little. My Mam taking be into the Milburn Terrace at like 2pm so I could get a good spot at the fence to watch Gazza - my hero as a kid. Collecting the Photograph Portraits of the players from the shit little club shop on the corner of Barrack Road. The smell of hops from the Brewery, mixed with the hot dog steam coming from the burger vans. The brick stairs and turnstiles up into the Stadium then the excitement of it all when you see the mighty Frank Pingle warming up. Great Stuff.

No to Nuno, No to Martinez, No to Lampard. No to anyone associated with anyone already coaching or at the club. Just get a good quality progressive manager with his own ideas and methodology. A strong mind who believes in his approach. If it's attack or defence, whatever....let's just have a fucking identity. If the new guy wants Graeme Jones to help, that's fine. The rest can all fuck off. But let's get it done, it's took long enough.

Whoever is pointing the finger at Almiron, needs to see a doctor. The guys clearly no world beater but I'd but him in the top 5 players we have at the club. Maybe playing him in his actual position might help, rather than playing him all over the fucking place, week on week. Clark, Kraft, Ritchie, Darlow, arguably the Captain need to be leaving before Almiron. All the above and even Longstaff would struggle to play in a Championship team right now - shite!

Needs sorting now. Had plenty time. Get it done.
