Believe nothing until they've got THAT black & white shirt on.

The whole club needs gutting from top to bottom "Rip It Up & Start Again" as the song says

No what he means are 50% of the scores are 100% right

Don't worry McClaren will be joining you when his quiff drops off

He's reading from the script if u look at him on the touchline his actions are not that of a manager whose team are playing tremendous

It's not just Saturday though is it its week in week out as I said it feels like he's now reading from Pardew old script.

Absolutely but "tremendous" come on we were far from tremendous.

I can't help thinking that McClaren is now reading from the script left by Pardew. He said something about us being "tremendous" on Saturday it was a boring first half & within 10 minutes of the second half we were 2-0 down ok we pulled one back we were far from tremendous

I'm concerned all right concerned that if we go down we do a Middlesbrough they went down with us last time & are still there. Because you can bet not many of these players will stick around like Nolan, Barton & Carroll did. Then we had a team with a heart & spirit a respected manager now we have a team who'll play if they can be bothered a head coach who's starting to sound more & more like Pardew everyday I'm expecting him to "Fank Mike" before long . I'm concerned that we didn't have a striker lined up ready to sign for the club when the January window opened. I'm concerned that a lot of people aren't concerned about the position we're in its come around a lot earlier this time yesterday I was told not to worry about Swansea as they've thrown the towel in. It didn't look like that today as they took all 3 points from Everton at Goodison Park they looked like a team who are prepared to battle to stay up. Lastly there's a week left of the window I'll be concerned if we don't get that striker because we need someone to start knocking in the goals week in week out to get us out of this mess if they don't sign someone we should all be concerned.

Best buckle up, that shit storm I spoke of a couple of weeks ago looks like it could be arriving a little later than I predicted but I think it's on its way

We are rapidly approaching the tipping point.

Even if Swansea win we'll still be just 2 behind Norwich but I expected that to change rapidly if we don't get THAT striker we all know we need

Yet again we have to hope that Swansea get nothing tomorrow .

Aye I think we're goosed

Well not exactly but something similar looks on the cards

Aw thanks Mr Fish

Hi Trooper I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for your support over a busy period of games recently. In the last two home matches, your support has been enormous for the players and the atmosphere you’ve generated at St. James’ Park has been absolutely electric. On Saturday, we started well and despite moments of pressure in the second half, you stayed right behind the team. To have the disappointment we had at Arsenal and Watford, the players fought hard to bounce back against Manchester United midweek and we made a terrific start at the weekend against West Ham. Considering it was the third game in a week and we more or less named the same team, I’ve got to admire the players for the character and attitude they showed. It was a tough period. The goal against Manchester United at the end, the way you responded and the atmosphere you created, it was quite an emotional point. To recover quickly and go again as they did on Saturday proves that the squad is getting better and progressing. In many respects, we’ve been playing very well and not getting the rewards for it. It takes a lot of mental strength to keep doing that so I’m delighted we got what we deserved in the end. Now, we have to keep our momentum and that starts with recovery this week and the right preparation for Watford. Maintaining our fight and spirit is also vital. That’s the minimum we expect, the minimum you expect and the minimum the players should expect of themselves. We coped very well at Vicarage Road last time out and while we didn’t deserve to lose, we know it will be tough on Saturday. We start every game from zero and we know if we’re not right attitude-wise and we don’t put the work in, Watford can hurt us. I was delighted to hear that we have another sold out away end for the game on Saturday and I’d like to wish everyone who is travelling a safe and pleasant journey. Home and away, your support continues to be hugely important to the team and we’ll be working hard to give you the performance and result your support deserves. Lots of love Steve XXX

If we end the window without signing a proven striker we'll be goosed. I know it's a cliché but goals win games and we need wins not draws here & there

So what's the asking price for this Berahino chap I've seen an asking price of £24 million shirley we wouldn't pay that?

Mrs T's just brought in a slow cooker I'm expecting all manner of stews and hot pots until the novelty wears off & it becomes a kitchen ornament like the scales

Spend to survive this window it's essential to stay up to get the big money.

Fairy Nuff either way somebody's dropped a bollock

Shirley this deal should have been sown up before the Shelvey deal we now have a player who probably won't play for us again with just under 18 months of his contract left. Not sure what wages he's on but we now have to pay him whilst we also pay Shelvey to do his job another first class job done on this.
