I was just pissed that they killed of Eko so quickly, after he did nearly all of the pre-season promo shite Cheers for the spoiler jesus, how far behind are you? Waiting for the DVD's tbh. Much better viewing them all at once. so why click on a Lost thread? it's hardly going to be about when the DVD is coming out is it? Because threads where you post spoilers usually have "SPOILERS INSIDE" written in the thread title.

Official Match thread: Fulham Vs Newcastle United
smoggeordie replied to Jimbo's topic in Newcastle Forum
Fulham 2, Newcastle United 1 Feb 4 2007 By Neil Farrington, The Sunday Sun So it took less than three days for United's transfer window woes to take a miserable toll. Less than three days for the mind-boggling failure to address their squad's worst shortcomings to be embarrassingly exposed. What the next three months will bring barely bears thinking about on the evidence of yesterday's second half. True, the seeds of this defeat were sown by a man who has been anything but a weak link in recent times - Nicky Butt. The one new face to arrive in January, Oguchi Onyewu, enjoyed a blameless debut. And though the competitive edge lent to the scoreline by Obafemi Martins' last-gasp strike was misleading, the Nigerian was also above criticism. But Newcastle's collapse after Butt had gifted Heidar Helguson his 48th-minute opener was brought about by some all too usual suspects. Steve Carr, who should not be in the side at right-back let alone filling in on the opposite flank, invited Brian McBride to put Fulham home and dry 17 minutes from time. Titus Bramble's enduring ability to ruin a decent display with a single aberration should have earned him a red card moments earlier. And but for an outstretched leg here and there, Fulham's unforeseen dominance would have been rewarded with a rout. It was a capitulation that even the more cynical of Newcastle's magnificent travelling fans could not have seen coming at half-time. With Onyuwi impressing alongside Bramble on a debut against a side bereft of all attacking inspiration, all was calm within the United ranks on and off the field. Too calm, if truth be told, with the visitors' failure to profit from Fulham's fear of Martins' pace and invention another disappointment of the opening half. But a first clean sheet for 15 games - which beckoned at the break - promised to be a triumph in itself. Instead, one self-inflicted wound and Fulham's slight, but unspectacular improvement once they scented blood were all it took to extend a run which mocks the Magpies' inactivity on the transfer front. Cruelly, Butt had been rushed back into action after taking a knock against Aston Villa in midweek. But there seemed little logic in the decision to play Steven Taylor at right-back and Carr at left-back while leaving Nobby Solano on the bench. It hardly mattered during a first half in which Fulham would have struggled to break down a Women's Institute XI. The Cottagers - having hit trouble even before kick-off when keeper Antti Niemi was injured in the warm-up - were abject. But Newcastle's failure to service Martins and the rather less impressive Kieron Dyer rendered the first period a non-event. Dyer shot wide from one of the few crosses Damien Duff delivered all afternoon, then failed to win a penalty for a tumble over Philippe Christanval. Scott Parker broke off from a bruising midfield battle with Michael Brown to fire high and not so handsome into the home end from long range. And, far more significantly, a save by Niemi's deputy Jan Lastuvka and a near-post block by Carlos Bocanegra denied first Steven Taylor then Onyewu following a James Milner corner. But the first half had still given little hint how pivotal that episode would be. For even on this cloudless day, to say Fulham's breakthrough four minutes after the break came out of the blue would be an understatement. Carr's throw-in deep inside United's half left Butt under pressure, but not enough to justify his feeble attempt at a backpass which fell for Helguson and left Onyewu and Bramble floundering. To be fair to the Fulham striker though, his first-time finish was superb - Harper helpless as it cleared him before dipping under the crossbar. Disbelief at the fact and manner of going behind almost turned to despair as Fulham immediately set about doubling their lead. Harper had to help Brian McBride's downward header over his crossbar, then watched as a shot by Michael Brown fizzed wide. Milner hinted at an equaliser with a 20-yard free-kick which found the side netting. But United could have no complaints at going two goals down, having ridden their luck - and then some - before McBride's 73rd-minute strike. Bramble was lucky not to be sent off for tugging back Helguson as he threatened to go clean through. Then Bocanegra beat Harper with a glancing header, only for Milner to clear off the line. No such luck following Newcastle's next defensive aberration. Carr was skinned in contemptuous fashion along the right-hand byline by substitute Papa Bouba Diop, a man not deemed fit enough for the Fulham bench until Niemi's injury. And the midfielder's cut back was sidefooted home in spectacular style by the fast-arriving McBride. But for a smart save with his legs by Harper from Helguson soon afterwards, a rout would have been on the cards. It wasn't to be, though Martins' goal arrived far too late to affect the result. What it did prove was what Newcastle had missed out on in failing to give him decent service - and in their team selection. For it was Solano, on for Dyer, who provided the pinpoint long ball from which Martins outpaced the home rearguard before volleying left-footed past Lastuvka. NICKY BUTT'S brainstorm of a backpass gifted Fulham a breakthrough which had not appeared possible - but proved pivotal. OGUCHI ONYEWU stood up to be counted on his debut against the muscly McBride and was blameless for Newcastle's sorry surrender. BUTT has been United's hero so often in recent months that his blunder was as shocking as it was decisive. A FIRST Premiership defeat of 2007 this may have been, but it exposed familiar failings for United. Managers' view Glenn Roeder last night pulled few punches in laying into a "flat" and "poor" performance from Newcastle at Fulham. Only new boy Oguchi Onyewu and 11-goal striker Obafemi Martins were spared Roeder's wrath after United's first Premiership defeat of the new year. But the Magpies boss refused to blame the setback on Nicky Butt, despite the midfielder having gifted the Cottagers their opening goal. "We gave a very flat display," admitted Roeder. "Conceding the first goal straight after half-time contributed to a poor performance. "It was a scrappy game in the first half, although we had good opportunities to take the lead twice in the final few minutes of the half. "What I said at half-time was: `Make sure we get through the first 10 or 15 minutes after the restart.' So the timing and manner of the goal were disappointing." But Roeder insisted: "Nicky Butt has been fantastic for us this year. I'm not going to criticise him. Those things happen." Instead, the Newcastle manager chose to savour a promising debut from centre-back Onyewu. "Considering he only trained with us on Thursday and yesterday, I was more than pleased with what he contributed," Roeder said of his loan signing. "I'm sure he will only get better for us. He was strong in the air today, and that's what we desperately need." But other than praise Martins - who scored despite getting "poor service all game" - Roeder's only comfort was in allaying fears of an injury to Kieron Dyer. Meanwhile, Fulham boss Chris Coleman hailed Brian McBride after seeing the veteran striker grab the game's decisive second goal. "He's the best £700,000 anyone has ever spent," raved Coleman. "He's different class even when he's not scoring goals. His level of performance and commitment are always the same. "If only he was five years younger . . . though if he was five years younger he wouldn't be playing for us!" -
Seriously mate, what does it say your seat details are for your ticket last season? You'll be able to do it for some seats and not for others.

.cock Glenn: Not Good Enough By Craig Hope GLENN Roeder has expressed his disappointment at a performance which he says was way below the standards set by Newcastle United after the 2-1 defeat at Fulham. The United boss could only watch in despair as his half-time teamtalk went up in smoke within minutes of the restart, a short backpass by Nicky Butt seized upon by Heidur Helguson and lifted above and beyond a helpless Steve Harper. It was United's first Premiership defeat of 2007 and Roeder told nufc.co.uk: "We set our standards higher than that. It was a flat performance and I'm very disappointed. "Maybe we shaded the first-half and had a couple of chances, and at half-time we said keep it tight and make sure we don't make a bad start. "But that plan went up in smoke within a couple of minutes when we conceded a poor goal. "And, I have to say, we found it difficult to pick ourselves up after that." The Cottagers doubled their advantage in the 73rd minute, Papa Boupa Diop showing strength and skill to get the better of first Scott Parker and then Stephen Carr, before pulling back for Brian McBride to convert from close range. Roeder added: "Stephen Carr was very disappointed to get out-muscled for the second goal, but there can't be many more powerful players in the Premiership than Boupa Diop. "We put an awful lot of effort into the win against Villa on Wednesday night and maybe that caught us out a little bit. "But we have to pick ourselves up and regroup before the Liverpool game at St.James' next Saturday." Oba Martins scored his 11th goal of the season in the 93rd minute, but it turned out to be little more than a consolation on a disappointing afternoon in West London. -
Don't quote you, you say?

Baring in mind i'm including a potential away following of 10% ie 5,200. 52,000 - 5,200 = 46,800 We've only had less than 50,000 3 times in the last 6 or 7 years IIRC
-
and then who'll fill your ground for you 49K homw allocation who dont usually bother going(except the big games) 3k away....... err us? Still, you can't quote. Name one Premiership match at SJP in the last 12 years where we have had less than 90% attendence.

Fuck off you stinking, less than human, despicable, smelly scouse tramp. We've won it no times, we've won it no tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimes, and we haven't killed anyone, we've won it no times. thats original that, well it was 2 years ago anyway Can't-quote-tastic

IT may still only be early February but Glenn Roeder says Newcastle United are already planning their summer strategy - with training camp trips and transfer targets already under discussion. And the Magpies' boss also used his pre-Fulham press conference to thank the Geordie fans who have stayed right behind his team as they've battled bravely against the worst injury list any Premiership club has known this term. It's a year since the former skipper took over the managerial reins from Graeme Souness in a caretaker capacity, guiding the club to a seventh place finish and a return to European football with his reward being a permanent appointment last May. It's certainly been an eventful 12-month tenure for Glenn, who said: "We've encountered so many things over just one season, but we've stuck together and I'd like to include the supporters when I say that because the fans have helped by understanding our injury problems. "They have tried to help us along all the way, and the players have stayed tight too. "We're in a position now a bit like this time last year where we can go out and attack and see how high we can finish. "But we can also start to make some plans for next season as well. Last year I couldn't really do that because I was only doing the job on a week-by-week basis. "This time it's different, we can now start planning lots of things. "We're already talking about pre-season, about when to come back, where to go in terms of training camps and who we want to play. "Also transfer targets are already being discussed and I know it's important the fans hear that. "There are no excuses. We have three or four months to analyse things. That means going to watch the players we want and in the positions we want. "That's why it's so important to make plans because we don't want to make any mistakes."

Sounds unlikely but would be absolutely superb if it happened.

Just got back, Harper was outstanding today, especially from the header early in the 2nd half. And after all the fish jokes, it was appropriate that our 4th o-fish-al, was non other than Mr Mike Pike
