That was 5 years ago and we've fallen far far from that standard. We have had a couple of awful managers, but surely that teaches us that sacking a manager after a season doesn't mean we're going to get an improvement. I saw fight at Bolton, I saw a team who were willing to play until their legs gave out. What is it about Newcastle players that brings the worst out of the commitment? Even under Robson and Keegan we had bad eggs, but these days we haven't the talent to make up for this petulance. I don't know what the answer is, but I know what it's not. bling, bitches and ho's

It's like a cigar in the eye when all you wanted was a fork...

Now ey! I stand and sing you cheaky cunt. I thought I seen them pointing and staring at someone

Emre's little legs not getting him back fast enough to stop the second. Someone please tell me what he brings to the team?

Something is not right because he was 'injured', so whatever he did on the night out, simply to be out at 5am on an injured ankle, then either Barton is taking the piss with the club, or someone at the club is lying about him being injured.

Watchin FF now - as I thought, the Elano tackle on Faye - this boils my piss, a big strapping African has literally rolled over 5 times because he got a butt cheek in the face. Get up you fucking pansy.

Amd we've used all three subs and Emre still can't help himself from acting like a little worky ticket risking a card.

I bet they were mackems.

Also, The crowd is in the majority now silent, and I mean from the off - the emergence of a singing section has given everyone else the excuse to sit on their hands, especially the 'gallowgate end'. The ref was pretty much irrelevent, sure the Faye challenge looked bad, but I don't think there was any contact and once again a player rolls 5 times to get a card, soft cunt. The balloons were funny, but why didn't the ref stop the game? There were like 10 of them tied together in a big ball, at one point they actually blew into the ref!

Alright 1st half but no cunt could hit a barn door or pick out an open man, Martins is shot to shit and its got nothing to do with ability in my mind. 2nd half shite, but as usual, the 'magic formula' of Emre, Enrique and the wingers in the right place did the sum all of jack shit again, only Enrique on looked like an improvement, Zog didn't tire he just didn't like he knew what he was supposed to be doing. No bastard showed any urgency except Butt, Enrique, Owen and Duff, but Owen thought he was a midfielder and Duff as usual has no end product. I am constantly amazed at a team with Butt in doesn't know how to track back as a team with urgency, because believe it or not, at times they were all up front, and even Allardyce was shouting for them to get back, but they were in zombie mode. We have no first team that picks itself and it shows, even Milner is still what I would call a 2nd string player, potential my arse, Jenas mkII. No player that got the ball knew instintively what the players around him would do, where the runs or the one-two's would come from, therefore requiring time to whir the cogs in their brains and allowing city to organise. At one point 4 men covered the box because Cacapa had gone for a jaunt down the line. Severe problems as usual, not likely to be fixed by sacking BSA and once again finding out no manager wants this job.

cheater

Gonna take a guess without looking at it that that is the Hitzfeld story.

None of your sick fantasies please.

My first match this season, Merry Christmas Newcastle (from): Given, Harper, Carr, Beye, N'Zogbia, Enrique, Rozehnal, Cacapa, Taylor, Faye, Edgar, Geremi, Butt, Milner, Emre, Duff, Smith, Martins, Viduka, Owen. Newcastle striker Alan Smith is a major doubt as he recovers from concussion but Michael Owen could return after recovering from a thigh injury. Midfielder Joey Barton will not play after being remanded in custody on charges of common assault and affray. Manchester City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson: "They (Newcastle) were unlucky against Chelsea .... I can understand how Sam Allardyce feels. It's going to be a difficult game. It's a beautiful stadium with a beautiful atmosphere. We go there with an open mind and try to win."

Yeah, ok. he's mourinho (dull football) without the success/trophies What is success for Bolton?

"at home" If they were that good at defending you wouldn't need that qualifier would you?

It's indigestion, trust me.

He doesn't get told the budget apparently, it's on a player by player basis.

We'll have to watch that then Eh? You coming round like?

Shinton got amnesia for christmas then.

This is on the BBC next sunday evening.

Most likely from ebay traders who spend most of their time selling them, so there's your answer.

The irony that it's quite easy to get a quote from him to produce pieces like this, and the consequent 'shut up you fat bastard' responses, but he is non existant if you get your info from BBC tv.

Day 1: rained.
