relámpago blanco Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 We are newcastle fans, the only time we wont be Kneejerking is when we win the Prem, League Cup, FA Cup, Champions League and World Club Championship every season or every time they are on r.e. World Club Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Playing devils advocate here but would anyone care how we'd played thus far if you were told in August we'd be four points clear at the top of the league with a game in hand? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggs Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Smith was at walking pace by the 60th minute, what an absolute w*****. Been like that for a couple of games tbh so it begs the question is he fit or carrying an injury ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The stuff in this thread about knee-jerking is hilarious. It's pretty clear which people haven't seen us play much this season.

Benwell Lad Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Trying to draw on positives - we got a point away from home, we kept a clean sheet and the new signings had another match to bed themselves in. It was however woeful, worryingly unimaginative and no entertainment whatsoever. We really need a performance which makes a positive statement and that may only happen when Jonas and Routledge are both bombing the opposition down opposite wings. I can't wait.

Skeletor Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I have to say though Andre Marinner did a great job yesterday. Made a mockery of the usual standard of refereeing in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I have to say though Andre Marinner did a great job yesterday. Made a mockery of the usual standard of refereeing in this league. He should also have sent off Berner who was already on a yellow when he committed an identical 'leg breaker' challenge to the one Wellens got a yellow for in the first half. Bottled it because of the crowd on his back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UV Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 How many games have we won recently? Is it just me or are the wins looking more unlikely as the season unwinds? Last 8 games in all competitions DDDWDLWD As I thought. 11 points from 8 games is pretty worrying. 14 points from our last 8 league games isn't all that much better mind. It is like. An average of 1.75 points per game to the end of the season would have us on 89 points. Typically easily enough for automatic promotion, in fact that form throughout a whole season has been good enough before. That's if we continue on the same appallingly poor, dismally abject performances and tactics etc, etc that we're currently going through with injuries and new players still fitting in. The art of being a manager is to pick the best 11 to do a job on the day Ridiculously simplistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I can see why he didn't want to send Berner off, but by letter of the law, they should have been down to 9 men. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Only just got a chance to get online since yesterdays game, but a few random thought. Was sitting behind the goal with some leicester fans which made it interesting. First off, their fans are as thick as shit. I heard several asking and questioning why our fans were giving Nobby such a good reception. Then the abuse they gave the ref was absolutely shocking... what did he do that wrong? Then they started giving Routledge a load of abuse for being involved in the red card, and at one point it spread to Van Aanholt as if they were confused as to who was who...

ElDiablo Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Leicester is an absolute shit hole, never been there before but what a dump, came up to the ticket machines at the train stations just as I got there and saw a scuffle involving two ticket operators and some 16 year old chav tossers. Walked out of the station about 10 steps and got asked by two people for money, said no and walked on. Then saw some tramp about a minute later throw up outside a co op in the middle of the pavement in front of me. Not the greatest first impression of a place.
