Yawn

why the fuck did we get rid of routledge? for all his faults at least he was an outlet with pace. hasd a few decent games this season despite his wayward final ball. good impact sub. madness to get rid without replacing. oh i know, let's get rid two players where we're short already and replace them with a central midfielder, one of the few positions where we're reasonably well covered. what the fuck has ashley been drinking? pure meth or something?

ridiculous that we let three players go and brought in only one when the squad was already wafter thin. i feel like deadman right now. if i saw ashley i don't think i'd be able to sto myself sticking one on him

two months man, what a fucking joke.

be'ave man

why don't admin create a new forum just for leazes and skidmark to continue their never ending argument so they can leave us all to get on with it without reading the same old drivel from them in every fucking thread they post in? beyond tiresome

I agree with all of those apart from Keane who had some stupid demands for going to other clubs. Only West 'ammmm were stupid enough to pay it! keane scores goals man, unlike our current crop of fit strikers.

hey, why the negativity?

anyone ever played the eurovision drinking game? quality

you should have got yourself seats in the neutral end man, it's 80 per cent geordies and 20 per cent yank tourists. the majority are stood up and singing

the one thing about nolan is he\s useless in a 442 without tiote mopping up next to him. he just strolls around. passenger when he's not scoring goals and that's the problem. who else in that side is going to score the goals if you take nolan out?

i think 38-40 should be fine

Oh I agree - it's another bloody mess in the life of NUFC anyone got any prozac?

i feel like i'm living up to my username today. it's just so frustrating seeing what the fat twat has done to the club. against all odds, we were looking like having a half decent season. you'd have thought that would make him happy as an owner but he seems intent on doing his very best to fuck it up every time there's a glimmer of optimism about the place.

it'd be class if he had some woodgate style career now and was injured every other week. not that i'm bitter or owt.

Wtf? You couldn't ask for a much easier run, what's your point? How did we manage 8 points against Wigan, West Ham, Sunderland, and Spurs? With the exception of Spurs (away) and Stevenage I don't think we've played that badly since Caroll was injured. We always struggle away though, Blackburn away would never be a given even with Carroll. This negativity about relegation is way, way over the top. We're still top half of the table man. did you not see the match last night? the negativity is there because the one thing that has kept this side together for the past couple of seasons - a battling team spirit - seems to have vanished along with carroll. combine that with shola's injury and the outlook isn't that great all of a sudden. i agree that we should get some points from those games but i'm worried about where they're going to come on last night's evidence. that was one of the most gutless performances since the relegation season. the thing that s encouraging is our defence is still fairly solid so we should be able to pick up some points through clean sheets plus we've got tiote and barton to come back. make no mistake though renton, we're in for a tough end to the season. the league is the tightest it's ever been there's no dead cert to go down as everyone keeps beating everyone else. all it takes is a small bad run of games and we're right in the shit. and when you look at the strikers we've got available now, you've got to wonder who will score the goals to keep us up. why the fuck didn't we get a striker on loan. people on here were turning their noses up at robbie keane at one point. scored on his west ham debut last night didn't he? I watched the match on the telly, aye. Tbh I couldn't see anything wrong with the spirit of the team at all. It was just an off night against an in form club imo. Of course the lack of strikers is worrying but as I have said, that team put 5 past West Ham so I'm confident they can get enough goals at home to keep us up. Not getting a striker on loan was stupid beyond belief, I agree. Unforgiveable infact. I was guessing in Keane's case though he might want to stay in London rather than move here on the basis of a 6 month loan deal. Next year we're fucked unles Ashley does something very surprising though imo. fulham were shit mate. they were there for the taking. i thought our lot were spiritless. heads went down as soon as they scored. no urgency. still, in their defence they had fuck all to aim at up front.

Even after West Ham's win last night the bottom 3 are still averaging less than a point a game though. I take on board what you say etc. but if we don't have the 36-39 points you're on about with 7 games left we're by no means doomed. That's purely short-termed 'optimism' like, as I've said. i think we're probably going to be ok because of the amount of points already on the board but we're in for a shit sandwich of an end to the season if last night was anything to go on. there's usually one that sinks like a stone isn't there. i reckon we'll finish about 16th or 17th but it's going to be a lot closer than it should have been if he'd just let hughton get on with it and kept carroll (or at least replaced him). the key thing is how carroll is replaced in the summer. the squad's still paper thin and needs big investment if we're not to go down next year. we've been pretty lucky with injuries so far this season tbh

Tbh I'm worried about next season already. I think we're more than likely going to be alright this year. I agree - I think we'll probably go down next year, not this year though. we'll be fine man, pardew has been guaranteed the £35m will be reinvested

aliadiere ffs. we had a whole bastard month to get a striker in and now we're speculating whether we should pin our hopes on a smoggie reject

i dread to think where we might be in 7 weeks. in that time we play: Arsenal Blackburn Birmingham Bolton Everton Stoke City Wolves vital we pick up 6-9 points from that run. fuck knows where they're going to come from though. suddenly away trips to blackburn and brum and wolves at home don't look too easy.

ashley is doing his best to send us straight back down after an encouraging start to the season like, no doubt

thing is, we're more likely to get shot of him if we stay up

how long is shola out for? is a fractured cheek bone going to keep him out for weeks? or can he not just wear one of those protective face masks? never thougth i'd say it but we're fuxking desperate for him to return asap.
