Lampard should be feeling nervous for his job ?

yeah. I wish there was a mid week game to come back from this sooner.

Today was tough. But we are not 4th from bottom and losing. What ever we do for the rest of the season is a bonus.

its going to be a long week.

What a fucking loser. Adios. Beat you on aggregate.

Really annoying game. Any sniff we had there was a bad bounce or unlucky. Ref was an arse. Deserved to lose but with even the tiniest bit of luck at 1-0/2-0 and I think we could have made it interesting.

Would love too. I'm near 50 and only had about 6 score line dreams. So can't promise anything.

Well I won 400 quid on the score line. I had a dream we lost 3-0. Every dream I've ever had has come true starting from when I was about 13(Newcastle beating Leicester 5-4)!

Come on sneak one.

I thought that too. He'd have been talking half time about what we did last week.

No changes.

To Villa's credit compared to Brentford at least they know how to stand up in the box. There would have been 2-3 drives already if this was last week.

I would: Murphy -> Wilson Gordon -> Longstaff Harsh on Gorgon and Murphy but we need to change shape.

I really really fucking hope this is like the Brentford game. Come on Newcastle. Villa have been good but we're better than this.

yeah. When he was off side the run was too early. When trippier was off the pass was too late.

Should be game over. Their shame is better and press is better. We're well off the pace. Only positives are Isak's two chances. If his shot was a meter to the site it would probable have been a goal. The cross was close too. As always next goal is fucking huge.

I don’t think so either. I just think it’s curious what would be acceptable or not. Adding additional boxes, corporate seats etc are seen as ok. If we expanded the stadium people would be fine with some space being for corporate. But other things are not. Maybe an expansion to a stand exclusively for corporate wouldn’t go down as badly as this. Silverstone got absolutely hammered for their pricing this year where pricing went up as tickets were sold. It’s seems the only thing considered fair is lotteries to decide.

How would you react if the owners issued an additional one thousand season tickets next year but charged 5k each for them? Taking these from the existing pool of tickets that currently go on sale match to match. So no corporate. Just the standard seats around the ground. And just came out and were completely blunt and said supply and demand is insane, there is some demand that they think they would sell out. Whether they would sell would be debatable. Personally I think there would be some demand given how much people were paying for a single Wembley ticket (although probably not for a thousand of them). Commercial income up 5 million but its a bit evil. (I was reading twitter and saw some complaints as someone had done something similar and immidiatly lost the link! It just got me thinking how it would go down here. And its Friday and I'm bored!)

And this is why players should be joining us over some of our rivals.

Ah man. Is he exaggerating or simply lying?

* fun. Lazy punditry. They think they have found a stick to beat us with and and going for it. Ignoring the hypocritical nature of just talking about us.

He's still the only manager, I know of, that has refused a pay off and that includes Keegan and Robson.

Yeah. That interview with Longstaff when he talks about how depressed he was and then nearly ruined his career was so telling. For a player to excel under the manager before and after Bruce is really telling.

I don't agree with a lot of that but it's all just opinions. It's interesting hearing the debate from the other side. I was left very bitter with Bruce due to: - his mates media support (I'm sure he's a nice guy 1-1 and that has worked for him) - false Geordie claims - being very poor when anyone questions him - complete disregard to tactics and preparation of the team for a particular opponent - and mostly being completely unprofessional and leaving our squad unfit for a season. It really did look like he was looking for his 8 million. Low salary high pay off absolutely stank of Ashley. edit: to the point that I have more respect for Pardew and I absolutely hated him at the time.

Also ASM has just turned 26 and has three years left on the contract. It would be fantastic if he could get over his fitness issues.
