Wigan Athletic 1-0 Newcastle United - 26/12/07 - reaction from page 16

[madras]

for those who were there.

 

what was the fans reaction. at half time you could hear the booing on the radio. the away crowd are normally pissed and have a partizan "it might be shite but it's our shite" mentality but it seems like allardyce has even lost the backing of this partizanship.

Just got back from Xmas II: The In-Laws. Shit, then, was it?

I've never seen the like away from home.

 

Some of the stuff that went on, not from a small minority of pissed up charvas either (some have temporarily escaped my memory, others will know):

 

Obviously chanting for Oba from about 15 minutes onwards

Shearer, Shearer - long, loud and persistent

Very loud booing when Allardyce picked up the ball when it went out of play 

Booing at half time and full time

Most tellingly, the vast majority for most of the second half: "We're shit and we're sick of it"

 

All totally justified too imo. Today went beyond the pale.

[Thespence]

Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce had every sympathy with the fans who slated his side at the end of another miserable performance.

 

A 64th-minute Ryan Taylor free-kick consigned the Magpies to a 1-0 defeat to relegation-threatened Wigan that is likely to again put incredible pressure on Allardyce.

 

The 5,500 supporters who travelled to the JJB Stadium, and amongst them was owner Mike Ashley, made it clear about just how they felt after seeing the team conjure just one chance in 90 minutes.

 

With a few minutes remaining, the majority of the fans sang: "We're s***, and we're sick of it."

 

Allardyce agreed as he said: "You expect a reaction, and I don't blame the fans.

 

"If I was them I would be singing what they sang because we're not good enough.

 

"I'm a top man in my field and I know it's not good enough, so it doesn't take much for them to work out it's not good enough.

 

"They are not daft."

ashley was in the crowd aswell.

 

i think it's a question of when rather than if.

[JoeyBartoon]

Just back now, what a miserable day  > Yeah the team got booed off at half-time, quite right as well, it was awful. Big face also got booed in the second half when he caught the ball.

 

I've just looked at the rest of the fixtures as well, it doesn't look very good .

back about 20minutes ago

fat sam out - we are shite

viduka geremi and smith are the 3 worst signings so far

 

0 shots in 90 minutes against wigan athletic! - shite man, its just shite

 

[J7]

I don't usually boo the team, but we played defensive against a shit team and didnt manage to create a chance all game. Totally shocking!! Please stop me from going to any more away games. Thats Derby and Wigan so far this season.

[PM]

viduka geremi and smith are the 3 worst signings so far

 

Explain how Viduka fits into that list.

[Mick]

We're shite and we're sick of it, we're shite and we're sick of it, we're shite and we're sick of it.

 

That was loud and clear for all to hear.

he paid £2million to paul macca to come up with the lyrics "we're shit and we're sick of it". then he started it

[Mick]

I can't get over how spineless Allardyce was today, going to Wigan and playing 1 up front is as bad as it gets, he's got nowt between his legs, certainly no balls anyway.

[Kev]

viduka geremi and smith are the 3 worst signings so far

 

Explain how Viduka fits into that list.

 

explain how he doesnt?

just because he scored 2 goals v derby means hes good?

he does nothing for the team

Scored 5 goals. Dunno where we'd be without him at times this season. Seems to be the only one who knows where the fucking goal is!

We punted long balls at him from minute one today and gave him no support.

 

There was a moment late on where Martins skinned the right back and burst into the box looking to pull it back on his left foot. Viduka was surrounded by three blue shirts, Milner was right over the far side and Emre and Smith were stood in the centre circle scratching their arse. 1-0 down with about 10 minutes left, we should have been piling forward. No support.

 

If you think a player like Mark Viduka is our problem, you've a lot to learn ffs.

[KaKa]

Emre finally got a start and did nothing with it, which is very dissapointing.

[Kev]

viduka smith geremi barton rozehnal all look terrible footballers under allardyce, hes the most negative manger ive ever saw in football

And I dont think I am wrong in saying that whilst not world beaters, each of the above are pretty decent footballers

[Thespence]

Is it worth watching Football First

[madras]

Isn't it your bed time son, at the very least you could make make a sensible contribution to the debate...

[Syrette]

We have shit players. When this fact of life sinks in, everything will become a bit clearer as to why we've struggled for the past 3 years.

 

They're hardly shit. Too many are average at best though.

[Guest K9]

Given is a joke, get rid of him
