Aye, when you look at West Ham in envy you'd know your club is in the I'd even say Curbishley probably walked out for less. Without a doubt. Jumped before he was pushed imo

This. And the rest can quite honestly fuck off.

Take a bow Stevie, top post dude.

Allardyce choked under the pressure at Newcastle, expectations were totally different to what he had at Bolton, at Newcastle he was so scared of losing he daren't commit his tactics to attempt to win, shocking results via shocking performances sealed his own fate.

What we are witnessing now is not just about this seasons fiasco, it's the product of too many years of appointing too many shit managers who in turn bought too many shit players, our chickens have finally come home to roost, and they are roosting above our heads and shitting on us from a great height. We can't blame our position on bad luck, you don't get where we are after 30 odd matches and calling it luck, blame appointing Souness, Roeder, Allardyce, kinnear, Houghton and co who in turn bought the likes of Babayaro, Boumsong, Owen, Luque, Duff, Cacapa, Viduka, Smith, Colocini, Nolan, Taylor, none of which are good enough.

How shit is your patter ? Raise your game or fuck off

Let's hope he can pass it in the back of the net !

Come on you bastards !

I'm glad we didn't get the sour faced twat. Spurs are only rated by Spurs fans tbh. Have a word Tom, if we'd have appointed someone half as good as Redknapp when we appointed JFK we wouldn't be in this mess.

I think most of us would be more than willing to help them......

Malcolm Macdonald (187 appearances 1971-76) The club was taken over by people who didn't know what they were doing. They didn't know how to structure a playing squad. A football club isn't for buying and selling but that's what I think they were seeking to do. Football will find you out so quickly, it's horrifying and that's exactly the situation Newcastle find themselves in – a horrifying one. Frank Clark (445 appearances 1962-1975) If there was a turning point it would have to be the premature sacking of Sir Bobby Robson. The fans got carried away with what Bobby achieved and thought that would be the norm. They had been in the Champions League, then they finished fifth and that was deemed unacceptable by the people running the club and possibly supporters who began to take it for granted that they would always be up there. Freddy Shepherd (former chairman) I hope Sir John Hall regrets ever encountering Mike Ashley because everyone knows I didn't want to sell. Lots of people can buy football clubs but not many can run them. Ashley is a great businessman for the sports retail side, but as far as running a football club is concerned there is a lot left to be desired. Kevin Gallacher (39 appearances 1999-2001) If only Sir Bobby Robson had been five years younger when he took over as manager then they might not be in the current mess because things would have really taken off. Sadly, time caught up with him because he was the one that came closest to reviving the feel-good factor that took the club so close to success under Kevin Keegan. Newcastle have not really recovered since Keegan left the first time. Rob Lee (303 appearances 1992-2002) There was euphoria when Mike Ashley took over the club from Freddy Shepherd and it was assumed Newcastle would move up to the next level. Fans clamoured for Kevin Keegan but from then on things went sour. His resignation was a huge turning point. They started this season well but then cracks started appearing between Kevin and Dennis Wise. It didn't help anyone. No one knew who was buying and selling players. Who wants to go a club in that sort of turmoil? Players we should be attracting won't join the club in those circumstances. Irving Nattrass (238 appearances 1970-79) You can't totally blame Mike Ashley for the club's current plight. We've been struggling to keep our heads above water for a few years now because the players have got progressively worse. Massive resources have gone on players who just aren't good enough and that's down to questionable judgment. If we are relegated I hope Alan Shearer stays as manager because the club needs a popular figure who fans will allow plenty of time to re-build from the bottom up. Olivier Bernard (102 appearances 2000-05) When the gaffer (Sir Bobby Robson) went we were all shocked. That was bad enough but we then got [Graeme] Souness, whose club Blackburn Rovers were struggling. Souness came in and promptly finished 13th. David Ginola (58 appearances 1995-97) I wasn't really surprised to see Newcastle turn to Alan Shearer. He has what others do not have: has passion and the motivation. He has a specific brief to keep them up, after that it will be a mystery. It will be nice to have Alan Shearer as permanent manager. If he saves the club he will prove he is good enough. But if he can't he will still be the right man for the job if they go into the Championship. Jim Smith (manager 1988-1991) More than one manager in a season is bad, but four is a recipe for disaster. But it's a disaster that could yet be avoided. Now Newcastle need some stability in some way and I hope Alan Shearer can provide it. They love their football up there and they need stability to get the success - you only have to look at Man United and Sir Alex Ferguson. It would be a miracle in Newcastle if they stuck with somebody for that long, but that's what is needed now. Temuri Ketsbaia (78 appearances 1997-2000) They have good, quality players. The problem is they've had players injured every week. At the beginning of the season I thought they would have a good run, but they haven't really recovered from Kevin Keegan leaving. He was unbelievable for the club. It's not easy for a club when you have injuries, but that's football. You must face these problems and deal with them as well as you can. What I've seen so far is not good enough.

no probs.

check your pm's

I'm working tonight so I can't watch it live, still not sure if this is a good thing or not tbh

Fantastic !!

Some of you need to lighten up, Britain's got Talent, X-Factor etc have some utterly brilliant cringe-worthy comedy gold.

What did you get ?

About time it had its own thread. Any how, ITV4 tonight 8:30pm Carl Froch Vs Jermain Taylor Cracking fight treat yourselves. How this fight didn't get a UK station to pick it up live is quite disgusting, we get subjected to Amir Khan fighting nobodies but when an English World champion taking on the former undisputed Middleweight champion in the USA, it doesn't get a live showing.

How many points do you get for moral victories? Give a shit. We're safe,we played them off the park. Rather the plastic sanitised mancs win it than the orrible scouse so fuck it. So the 5-2 scoreline flattered them ??
