The players simply aren't up to the task. Barring five minute spells in each half we did nothing to suggest we'd get a goal and the last 15 minutes was fucking pathetic. We're down, i'm almost certain of that. The time wasting from Pompy was criminal though. It wouldn't have made a difference but taking the best part of a minute to take every throw in, freekick and goal kick is shocking.

Aye, you get the feeling they're going to park the bus.

Mmm... I love the smell of sour grapes.. Fact is, you lot haven't had the decency to give ANYONE a proper go at running your club since that tawdry business with Sir Bobby Robson - despite the passion evident within your fan base, the people who run the upstairs couldn't give a flying fart for the football club, except when it occasionally threatens to do well: at which point all the oily barstewards come out to bask in the reflected glory. So it doesn't really matter what you say about our current manager, your track record (in fact your long history) is one of no success, no continuity, no strategy for change and no chance of doing any better until you choose the right management team and stick by them through the inevitable thick and thin that is football for more than the time it takes to re-seed your over-rated dosy pitch. The rottenness of NUFC is plain for all to see, from top to bottom and there is no way that even ALS himself can do anything to change that in the short term. So if I were you, I'd save my energy for getting behind your ragbag of overpaid / undertalented 'stars' and hanging onto your bollux for the next three weeks as you either fade weakly into Premiership history or roar proudly into the possibilities of another season in the top flight. Personally I would like to think your team has the conjones to survive and to become a real force again, but then again, what do I know - a Rovers fan all my life and a football referee for 23 years! Good luck this evening, you bad tempered geordie girl. That post is nothing groundbreaking. The very same things have been said time and time and time again on here and various other forums. Fact of the matter is that Fat Sam was a failure here, not because we didn't give him time but simply because it was never meant to be. His brand of football, his "playing for a draw" mentality and his unwillingness to accept any mentality for piss poor performance after piss poor performance meant he outstayed his admittedly short welcome.

Allardyce is a ruiner of football clubs. I fully expect Blackburn to struggle next year if that mook is still in charge.

Depends on who owns the club.

Up the Bracket, Funeral and Tones of Town are my top three.

Why? There's a load of bluster about how he's 'cleared our debts' but the facts hardly paint him to be some kind of fiscal genius. The wage bill has increased since he bought the club, we're in debt to him (if he keeps losing money had over fist i'd imagine he'll want a fair portion of his investment back) and most worryingly of all we're on the brink of relegation, which will be more disasterous for this club that this mythical shit storm. The bloke is a gonk and any illusion of his sound business acumen went out of the window when he started spread betting on shares and fucking off recently appointed managers for his two pals.

Gutted DV didn't have his folder on him today Still, it was great to see EJ and Humphries double up on the clipboards.

3000, it should be the two sections nearest the away fans, cos the rest don't stand or sing. You up in the Leazes Corner, Stevie? If so fancy meeting up so I can lace you?

I heard a bit of his press conference and he managed to get a reference to his dogs in It wasn't the wittiest chant our rabble have ever came out with but by christ it was pretty apt.

Someone of your age needs to concentrate on not pissing themselves an'aal. Could be carnage in Hips' row come five to eight on Monday night

Bugger. If i'd known you and your family were involved in racing earlier Toonraider I could've pestered the life out of you for an interview for my final project

Fantastic. Free scarf It makes it almost worth watching Kevin Nolan pretend he's a football player for an hour and a half.

Nicky Butt's best performance in a Newcastle shirt for me. He bossed their five man midfield.

I'd take that more seriously if he knew when the English Civil War was conducted.

I fully expect him to get found out as a mardy Irish wanker with a shite beard when Ipswich don't throw millions upon millions of pounds at him.

Some canny bits of blart in the MetroCentre this afternoon. Shame I was with the wife

Anyone else think Shearer will dee one and Dowie will take over come the summer?
