Kid Dynamite 5941 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I'm guessing you chaps aren't too pleased. Martins looks good though, on the upside. As long as he's got a hole in his arse, he'll never be a good player. Also, that performance today was by one of the worst three teams in the league. Fully deserve the drop tbh He created more chances in 30mins than the rest of the first XI put together did over 90mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Shame, it should have been 1-1 but either way we weren't thrashed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 6191 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 It's not the result but the performance which has finally eradicated any hope I had we would stay up. THIS. We've won 6 matches from 33. Somehow we're supposed to believe that we're now going to go on to win three out of 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 6191 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Owen playing for us at the moment is like employing a tyre fitter to work on trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo 0 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 We can still stay up tbf. Martins and Viduka are two positives. Even IF we win our home games and it's a BIG if, we still have to rely on other teams not picking up points. We need a miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6308 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Shame, it should have been 1-1 but either way we weren't thrashed If that's not blind optimism, I don't know what is.... Spurs were at canter man and still beat us easily... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3218 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Shearer did all he could today as a manager, I'm finally convinced that newcastle will go down.

Somehow we're supposed to believe that we're now going to go on to win three out of 5? The first two home games are very winnable. Fulham is not impossible. Villa will have nothing to play for. I personally can't see Hull or Boro getting more than 3 points from their games, if I'm generous. We still have a good chance imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bawan 0 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 9 points is not enough to keep us up. Judging on that performance today we deserve to go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9026 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 much better 2nd half. Home games are where we were always going to have to get the points. Good to see Viduka and Martins back on the pitch, hopefully the next few games will see them starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 707 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Putting Martins and Viduka on changed the game. 90 minutes of them on the pitch and I think we could've had a draw. It's still not hopeless. Portsmouth aren't a good side as evidenced by how we thumped them last time with essentially the same team and we can beat them again. However Shearer needs to do to R. Taylor what he did to Coloccini - leave him out the squad. Liability. Butt is the same way. Harper Beye/S. Taylor/Bassong/Enrique Jonas Guthrie Duff Owen Martins Viduka ...there's still hope.

OTF 6191 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hopefully Enrique is back for Portsmouth. Then there is no reason for not playing a back four. Butt should be shot yet I'd put money down that he will start the next match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Viduka and Martins back on the pitch, hopefully the next few games will see them starting. reverting back to the Owen, Viduka, Martins combination was the right thing to do aside of Carrols performance last week, this is the best combination we have, in fact its the only combination. If we don't win next monday night, we are going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If picking that team and making those subs is the best Shearer can do then we are fucked. So what would you have done then? I would not have picked Butt or left him on the pitch. He's pretty short on quality options in the centre of the field. Taylor/Smith was a forced sub. Bringing on Martins and Viduka for Caroll and Nolan was exactly what I was hoping for and brought about instant improvement. I've got no complaints about Shearer today. Looking at Spurs recent home record, anybody who thinks we were likely to get a point even is deluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asprilla 96 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 We lost 1-0 away to a pretty decent Spurs side. I'm not happy about it, but it's hardly the worst result we've ever had. We are in the mix with the other sides around us. Until we're mathematically down we can't let our heads down. Come on you fucking pussies, don't give up yet.

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Thats us down for me, said it weeks ago but truthfully I can't see us winning our home games, we need divine intervention now.

Where would this negative attitude have got us in 91? Look what Fulham and West Ham have done in recent seasons. We're staying up!* * I'm entitled to change my position come next Monday.

Defeat today is never going to be the thing that drops us, we showed in the second half that we have something to fight for and I would say three wins will be enough. I'm not convinced we will get those three wins but today hasn't changed anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
