Christmas Tree

Im torn with this. I love Hughton and think he should be given a few years to build on this great base. However isnt this what we always do, throw big money contracts at Roeders, allardyces and countless others only to end up sacking them and paying out millions in compensation. I cant see any harm in letting things continue as is then all parties will be in a much clearer position come next year. I really cant see Hughton going anywhere before then. Its also worth pointing out that most on this board thought he would be sacked by Christmas, only a few months ago. Cant really fault a bit of sense at NUFC for the moment.

People are backing the team - they are just realists - that's what makes today an amazing result, that's why it was 12/1. Logic dictated a defeat today - nobody wanted it but it was the most likely result. People weren't predicting a home defeat to a poor team - Arsenal are one of the top clubs and when they turn it on they can tear any team in this league to shreds. Don't be so harsh on people as Newcastle can always throw egg in your face. When we beat Villa you said you fancied europe - look at the two home results that followed... Still do RTG forum 8 out of the the top 10 threads are about us. Think we are more loved over there than by some over here.

And FISH you fucking whining tart.......Stick that signature up your fucking arse......Sideways

Just get tired every now and then with the moaners , whingers, snipers etc etc.... Those who constantly talk down our chances, results or players who are generally doing it....... and are supposed to be fans. As Mr T says.... Get some NUTS and BACK the team!

Quite Simply.......... We're Back

Just for the record................ Leazes Mag.... Are you going to turn up and say something positive for a change............?

The games 90 minutes long and we were playing arsenal and his dead ball set up the goal They said said that Barton wasn't doing very well at that moment, not that he's shit in general, which was a pretty reasonable analysis. I'm sure they'd agree that he was excellent in the second half, when his set pieces had improved dramatically and played as big a part as anyone else in us winning. Fair enough, Im pissed and loved up with Barton so dont take any notice

This season is the most lively/awake/up for it i've seen him, he's got in the team and deserves to stay there, he clearly enjoys playing off Carroll and played a full part in todays win. Thought he was back to his usual lazy performance today. He covered plenty of ground, and occupied defenders often enough, and he was available in the channels to recieve passes and hold it wide, if it wasn't Shola i don't think you'd be saying that, and i'm not a fan of his, but he did well today. But is is and its so typical of him to follow up a great performance with an average one. I suppose it was Arsenal but its all the times you see him strolin around and your thinking "get at them".

World class keeping from him today, one saves especially. He is a brilliant keeper, particularly bearing in mind his age. Not only the saves but he commands all areas of his box which is something I am struggling to recall any newcastle keeper doing in my lifetime. With Krul it is obviously still potential, but he looks to dominate the 18 yard box, he's agressive and off his line quickly whenever he can and he's a proper big keeper. It's certainly looks good for the future, he'll have the odd moment this season as he's young but he has to be number one even when Harper returns. The good thing is though is that he's been doing exactly the same in the reserves for the last two years.

Ive said many a time on here his manerisms remind me so much of the Sir Bob. He is a breath of fresh air at Newcastle and everything we've needed. Even when comparing him with some of the favourites in recent times he doesnt play on the geordie fans or anything like that its just so playeded down and matter of fact.....Lovin him.

Not at all, thats bang on.

Newcastle United Favoured To Defeat Arsenal

I'll be massively surprised, personally, if he does show a desire to do anything more than just stay up. I agree. The height of their ambition is to make a profit imo. Cant agree Without cheerleading for Ashley, you dont get into football for profit. Also after all thats happened, would you still turn upto every game wearing the colours if you didnt want too. Lets not forget in the scheme of his empire NUFC is not the be all and end all. I think he'll be gone as soon as someone meets his price however until then I think he will try and improve the club, his way. (Not the way we are used to or would like).

Joking aside, I would love that. Im sure theres a few on here who would do a come dine with me with you.
