Played the right team and would have got a result but was robbed by the linesman, if we played like that every game we'd get more points than lose them. Did someone get Sam a book on footy basics for Chrimbo?

Just a thought, and it's really just that, but how about Ferguson as manager? Not Sir Alex, but his son who's currently doing well in charge of Peterborough. How interesting would that be to see father against son in the Prem? Now, obviously managing a 2nd division team isn't going to be up there with a premiership team but I wonder if he'd be able to manage it. He's pulled Peterborough up from very little and seems quite adept at sticking to the main basics of the game. If we're toying with the idea of an unproven in Shearer could we consider Ferguson Jnr? *Tin hat on*

Needs to get the boot and take Fat Sam with him.

One thing's for sure, if Big Al is going to be one of those one-hit-wonder managers who use all their resources up at their first club they manage then I'd hope it would be with us - I'd feel even more gutted if he went elsewhere, was a success then came to us but couldn't cut it. To be honest I really think pretty much most half decent managers could do a job at a club with the money and resources we have IF they stuck to the basics, played players in position and played standard tactics, I'd love it to be Shearer though.

I'm probably one of the few who would go for such an appointment, I wonder if Shearer would keep to the basics though.

Oh to get us a manager who could just stick to the basics of 4-4-2 and play players in their correct positions.

If we beat Chelski I'll eat my hat... but not my Toon beanie.

And therein lie the way I see it, sad as it may be Sam appears to have some sort of problem with building on the basics.

How come when I posted something off Youtube I got a ban? Bah!

Comedy yes, genius no. SMB

A lot of fuss over nothing

I think the only reason people are complaining is to be honest we're dropping points which should be in the bag mainly down to the manager playing players out of position when he doesn't need to. I mean how hard is it to play a 4-4-2, Zoggy on the left, Milner on the right, Owen and Viduka up front, Enrique Left back, Beye Right back... christ, you've only got to fill in the gaps in the middle, it's not rocket science. There is no reason what-so-ever to play any players out of position, who is it supposed to help other than the opposition? Big Sam was a good appointment in my eyes, I just wish he'd stop twatting about with tactics and settle on what we know will work - if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I have a bad feeling about this...

I don't see what all the hubbub's about, each bloke to their own - in my eyes both the Tories and Labour have ruined the country one way or another... now if I were running the show... mmmm, muhuhahahahahahahahahaaaaa!

I can't imagine Mike Ashley will have much in the way of patience, if he's the money man he appears to be he's going to want results and performance that will bring in the money and he's not getting that at the moment.

That's very nearly an insult, comparing Jol to a true legend like Sir Bob Yeh ''im not sure newcastle have played all that well to be honest'' the score will do me like Five Live are soooo full of shite!

Did I just hear right? Nicky Butt MoM???

The Spuds are in a different league tbh

Hmm... dodgy that, we seem to go to sleep pretty easily after getting a decent lead. Needs sorting Sam

But who IS this Cachapa guy that's being spoken of on the radio?? It's Cacapa Shirley?

Get in! You beauty!!! Fuck you Jol you freak jawed fuckwit!

Martin Jol = Comedy Genius The only one of the three brothers that doesn't need another word for 'penis' in his name.

No chance, I hope they lose and lose badly. They hate us with a passion and there's no way on this planet I'd want them to do well - my sister-in-law's a jock and she typified their attitude for me when she purposefully went out and bought an Argentina shirt when we played the dirty South Americans in the last competative match we had with them. It's nice to have the other 'home' nations in tournaments with us but I'd never support them. Yeah I accept all that tbh (although your sister-in-law sounds like a turbo cunt and needs a kick in the minge)....I'd say about 90% have the attitude you've described. I'm not that arsed though, I'd get behind them cos they're British and theyre underdogs at the end of the day....and if I want an angle in a game that I have no really stake in then I usually cheer for the underdog. I'd have to agree
