Sounds like a anti-authoritarian trouble maker, get rid.

 

We've got too many keepers as it is and the wage bill will be dangerously close to sending us in to the abyss.

 

Our goals against would kind of suggest we need a decent keeper at the moment, like...

I do that tongue-in-cheek, belligerent sarcasm thing too ;)

Although, arguably, you do it better... ;)

Sick of reading and hearing empty words. If that had come from captain fistpumps nobody would rightly give a shit. It's time to do it on the pitch and stop talking about it

Tim Krul says Newcastle United’s players finally gave the club’s fans something to shout about – after finding their voices.

 

Steve McClaren’s side were denied their first Premier League win of the season by an 86th-minute goal from Chelsea substitute Willian on Saturday.

 

And Krul said: “I gave some quotes saying that we needed to be men and I think that’s what we showed.”

 

United, seemingly in crisis before the game, had led 2-0 thanks to goals from Ayoze Perez and Georginio Wijnaldum, but Ramires sparked a comeback with a stunning 60th-minute goal after coming off the bench.

 

Krul had called on Newcastle’s players to be “men” on the pitch before the match, which followed an abject Capital One Cup defeat to Sheffield Wednesday’s reserves three days earlier. "Some strong words were said after (the cup game). We had some meetings about it. It wasn’t good enough. It was far below par"

 

United had lacked leadership in the cup loss and the two Premier League defeats which preceded it.

 

And the goalkeeper – who denied Ramires a winner for Chelsea with a fine late save – felt the team’s improvement was down to talking on and off the pitch, with McClaren and his squad having held a series of clear-the-air meetings.

 

“We need more people speaking, but unfortunately that’s not the style of some of the players,” said Krul.

 

“It needs to happen, and it has happened. People need to take more responsibility, and I think we did that.

 

“Some strong words were said after (the cup game). We had some meetings about it. It wasn’t good enough. It was far below par.

 

“We know that, but at least we showed a reaction.

 

“That’s the reaction we should have shown two or three weeks ago, but at least we’re showing something. That’s something to build on.

 

“It’s a shame it wasn’t three points, but I think the first-half performance was top class.”

 

Krul believes 19th-placed United have now set a “standard” ahead of Saturday’s game at the Etihad Stadium against second-placed Manchester City.

 

The Holland international said: “That’s the standard we set.

 

“We showed that we’re capable. The fans reacted to that, and it was a shame to throw a two-goal lead away, but you can’t complain about a finish like that from Ramires.”

 

Newcastle’s better performances this season have come against three of last season’s top four, with the team having drawn against Manchester United at Old Trafford and played well against Arsenal at home.

 

And Krul has acknowledged the need for “consistency”.

 

The 27-year-old said: “It’s always easier when people don’t expect us to get anything.

 

“But we need to be more consistent. But we’re showing signs. The manager said it. It’s going to be a long journey with ups and downs, but this is the start.”

Darlow is on PhysioRoom as having no return date.

 

Have we actually won any games when Blob has played?

 

Off the top of my head, definitely won 4-2 against Southampton at home when Cisse volleyed in his long kick from distance. We won at Loftus Road on the last day when he started too but the thick cunt got himself sent off before the end.
