Fucking hell, extra step to where? World domination with pinky and the brain! Fuck some of you talk some shite. OL have been French champions for six years, it takes a manager with some talent to maintain this. And he is technical director of the FFF, you don't think he might have his eye on the best players and potentials in France? Not my first choice but rates above a fucking lot of other dross we are being linked with. You would think so, but did you see the young french players he bought for Liverpool? Anthony Le Tallec, Florent Sinama-Pongolle and Bruno Cheyrou. That with being the Head of Technical development of the French F.A before he took the liverpool job. But agree with the last point. I always though Sinama-Pongolle had potential he just needed a Shearer type to show him how to stay on his feet and not cry when he got kicked. He'd be a bonus for the club shop if he turned out half decent

Tomorrow is only 36 minutes away for me but yes I know it is Wednesday night. There was a time, when we were all young and enthusiastic about the team, July maybe August I think was the next match thread was always started 4 years before the previous one finished! Not now

So seeing there has been a terrible neglect to our match threads in light of the soap opera that is the toon, again I start one. As before I don't know who's in the squad. I don't know if it's on the box? (Here they are showing the shite that is wist 'am v oh who fucking cares.) I don't know, well I just don't know. But I want to know, if Pearson has packed his bag after throwing his toys out of the pram who the fuck is going to be in charge of the shower of shite rabble we call our team? Terry "I'll have twenty on number 7" Mac? Chris "cut them and let them lie" Mort? Mike "want some fun (psst what can I get for a fifty)" Ashley?

Obviously his bags have been packed.

Any chance he'd be interested in Smith, Barton and Carr, we could do a package deal!

So what the fuck is Joey Barton (besides guilty)?

Fuck yeah. That season he had Robben, Duff, Drogba, Gudjohnsen before Abromvich decided he was going to play director of football, they played some of the most amazing football I'd ever seen.

mugison - mugimama is this monkey music?

Unlike slazenger, umbro and numerous other Ashley revived brands he's not british, so there is nowt chance.

Bet you had Smith playing in the midfield anarl.

Never happen, it was Ashley's mate that sacked him remember?

I didn't realise they were shooting the next series of Jericho on Tyneside.

I'm not disagreeing just stating, oh fuck it don't worry.

Skol, you are right and you are wrong. There is no doubt that there are problems with the current squad of players but why when our now departed manager is known to place such an importance on fitness does the team who he was in charge of for eight months always look like they are knacker at about the 75 minute? Why did Pearson insist on playing Smith in the midfield? Why the fuck is he captain? The formation and tactics he used? Again we lumped it long to EMO and he didn't look interested. These are all the results of Allardyce's ways. That being said, skol you are correct the club has been hoping on the expectation that other teams cast offs will find their previous good form for NUFC and it will all gel together. Today was proof of what I have been saying for a while, SAF doesn't sell quality players to other teams in the premier league, fact. Lastly Matt you are 100% correct they need to redeem themselves and hire the right person. Not another average manager or an inexperienced Shearer. If they want success they need to spend to much money, they are smart, they know that quality costs. We're not buying sportswear from China here! You wanted Allardyce out. You got it. Now pay for the fuckin' consequences my Ozzie friend. We are in a fuckin' relegation battle. What does all that shit you kept dribblin' on about for an eternity say about your philosophy? Fuck all!!! Keep complaining about having to pay for Pay-TV FFS So Ken did you just wake up like this this morning or is it something that has always been inside you? There is no doubt I, like many others, wanted him out and if you can't see the reasons why then you obviously weren't watching yesterday's game. But can you show all of us here where any of us who wanted him out said, "sack him now, don't worry about having a replacement lined up." Didn't think so. Actually I could probably find dozens of posts where everyone who called for his head also said it had to happen when the replacement was lined up. By the way cunt, why is it fine to question my support because I don't happen to live in NE1, I get over to matches every couple of years when I can afford it but hey Ken your support and opinion must be greater because I'm just a scum of the earth Aussie (learn to spell it if you want to use it.) Fuckwit.

Whats ambiguous about net? - othewrise you wouldn't see the net receivers. It says spending, nothing about net finances! Plus if you look at Arsenal we all know they have spent more but Wenger has always sold at the right time and for a good price. Like SAF he doesn't sell his quality players to other premier league players, Bentley who went for nowt possibly being the exception to the rule.

No I don't. Did you get my email then? Obviously you didn't listen to my advice! Wonder if he uses Firefox? Of course, explorer doesn't work that well on his mac!

More to the fact Man Utd were fucking superb today and we were gutless and pathetic. Man United were billiant, but we had nothing to stem the flow coming at us. First half we gave them so many chances, but Given and the defenders threw themselves in frot of everything. You cannot do that for 90 minutes, and it's the reason central midfielders are supposed to help out. On the way back from Manchester tonight I've done a massive U-turn on the arguments I used to have with Leazesmag about whether we needed defenders or forwards. I've seen the light tonight. Enrique, Taylor, Faye and Beye would be a good enough defence for any team outside the top 4, and with Given behind them (who the Man United fans applauded throughout, despite the fact they hate him) it should be solid. In front of that though we've got absolute rubbish. The new manager HAS to invest in a brand new midfield and forward line. Stop bringing in the defenders (too late eh Sam) and get players in who can actually give the defence a breather. It was hard to watch that today, but it's shown me so much about what is wrong with the team at the moment. Oh, and for some reason we try to mark zonal, but I don't think the players understand it. When Rio scored I pointed out that Tevez was completely unmarked at the back post. When it went over him it went to another unmarked player (Ferdinand). Who was picking him up? Ronaldo's hat-trick goal, he was completely unmarked whilst stood on the edge of the area, and moved into the area without a marker. Do they understand who they should mark, or is it just whoever is closest to the ball? It won't take a great deal to turn it around (despite the fact I've just mentioned replacing 6 players ) but the important thing RIGHT NOW is to get Butt and Smith replaced. QFT And I'd go as far to say Milner and Duff also need to seriously reconsidered if we want to move forward as a squad. The amount of times they both gave up possession passing to their imaginary team-mate just gifting the ball back to Man U makes the work twice as hard for the rest of the team. Especially when it is just around the halfway and the team is moving forward to support them. And to all the Owen supporters out there please explain why he doesn't have to chase balls down, challenge defenders and defend from the front - is he exempt from the grit and grime of the game?

I do find that table rather ambiguous. Allardyce actually spent 26m in the summer but because we fleeced a fair chuck of change out of wist 'am for the ballerina, the roasting jigsaw and then gave up our bugle boy for nothing, the money spent looks respectable for what we ended up with.

Starting Smith in the midfield is proof that Pearson doesn't even have the right to ask for an application form let alone be considered for the manager's job. (Reaction to the constant twaddle being spouted by the match commentators last night).

I don't have the starting line ups, I don't know if it's on the telly for you guys, it is here on foxsport 1 at 4am for anyone who wants to watch it. I don't want to predict the score. But I hope Smith starts up front with Owen and Viduka is off the bench at about the 65 minute mark. And I hope someone other than Carr starts at RB. And the rest are played in their correct positions. And we don't get battered to badly. And McClown isn't in the stands. With all the other shite it would be nice if they actually put up a fight and got something from this.

No fear, he can't use a computer to save his life allegedly. Now Morticia, he prefers N-O and skunkers.

Both Newell and Burley have been consigned to the managerial scrap heap so chances are they'd look upon the Newcastle no.2 job as being a way back.

Unfortunately it appears you're not the only one at the moment. Thanks for the answer about the foreign manager question.
