Dr Gloom

are you serious? he's been shite up until the past couple of games.

same old story.

i'm calling fake on this thread starter

funny how far he's fallen in such a short space of time. at 31 you'd think he could still find a decent club in europe. frustrating as he was, i used to love watching him on his day. was he as good for us as we remember?

i dunno like. another season like this one and he wouldn't be far off

why do sky keep on employing souness as a pundit? he has zero credibility given his recent managerial efforts. him and strachan were embarrasing last night bickering over the pros and cons of zonal marking

i can't see why he'd join us as we're a sideways step. unless he fancies a massive pay day. i can see us having more joy going for lennon or wright-philips. i do think we need a right winger though

he's exactly the sort of no nonsense centre half we need. pacey and knows the premiership inside out. he's the sort of defender taylor should be but isn't. imagine him and faye at the back....a couple of big brutes that would scare the crap out of most forwards.

i enjoyed roger dodger. that seemed to pass unnoticed on release. naked is a forgotten classic too - good call alex. ewen bremner's character is different class but it's difficult to have much sympathy with the main character johnny - a brilliant turn from david thewlis

i would get rid of him and smith personally.

i would prefer n'zogbia playing as the left sided central midfielder in keegan's new 4-3-3 formation than barton

i think n'zogbia should start ahead of barton or geremi in the current formation but keegan is probably right not to change things while we're winning. he should definitely be given a new contract....one of the few players we've got with pace and the ability to run at defenders

i live without the uefa cup next season tbh

ashley needs to do splash some of his cash if we're going to do anything next season, but what i'd really like to see is for us to secure as many of our transfer targets as early on in the summer as possible so keegan has enough time to bed them in and decide on what system to use next season. our season is over and i'd like to think keegan has already given mort a list of who he wants in and who we can let go. that's something the last board was terrible at. it requires some "planning" and we may end up paying slightly more than you might at the end of the window, but that's a risk worth taking if you manage to get the players you really want in and you don't end up panic buying whoever is available in the last week of the window.

we're safe now for sure. it was looking sticky for a while but i can't see anything but a win against reading now. it just goes to show how much team moral and confidence can affect results. we might even catch spurs now. i think kk is being a tad optimistic if he thinks we can catch west ham though

it's all about what happens from now on with ashley. he's got his man in now he needs to back him. i'll reserve judgement until the end of the summer window

that goal return is pretty shite, although i doubt if smith's is much better

i think it's got potential to be an amusing thread. what would you play at yours?

it's heart breaking reading the extent of what the man has been through. true legend

i think i'd go for 'the end' by the doors, or maybe 'always look on the bright side of life' by monty python for a giggle.

i'd rather newcastle won a throw in than england won the world cup etc

he's had more than enough chances and he hasn't taken them. shame. it would be typical if he went and did well at another club.

revolting

With nearly 10% of all domestic trophies in English football history between Newcastle and Sunderland (no one counts the League Cup) from a population which comprises no more than 3% of the population, my conclusion is you're definitely the biggest cock I've ever seen on an internet message board. The fact you mention Middlesbrough in any bracket with Newcastle, geographically and historically suggests to me if everyone south of the tyne was like you, maybe Saddam should've tried his nerve gas on you and not the Kurds.

seems he's playing a deeper role in the new 4-3-3 formation. is that his future now that he's lost his pace? he looked half decent picking the ball up in midfield and running in behind the front two of martins and the fat aussie. he certainly hasn't got the pace to get in behind the way he used to.
