That's what I thought when I looked at the table on nufc.com. They have this little prediction with how many points Sunderland will end the season and if they are breaking their own record low. The plight of the Wearsiders seems to be the only consolation for quite a lot at the moment.

Isn't he getting sentenced for life in two weeks...

Oh, do we know you...?

Just as a lame excuse as I would expect from a Souness-apologist. Couldn't you just send someone to post a post-match reaction for you...

Having a farewell threesome with Souness and McDermott?

Well, we gave our former chancellor and Putin bummer a position at the supervisory board of the company building this new pipeline that is leading from Russia via the Baltic sea to Jormany and bypassing the likes of Poland and Ukraine... unfortunately in won't be ready in time. But I think our Russian friend will turn on the gas tap if things become critical for us. Who knows there might even be a secret pact securing this...

Sorry, I never want us to lose under any circumstances. 72955[/snapback] Understandable. For me today was the very first time that I wasn't happy with a goal scored by Newcastle. For me the result means thatn Newcastle will remain in the limbo. A short and painful end is sometimes better than the long decline we are already suffering. So far I was always happy when Newcastle got a result even if I thought a bad result might be the better in long term. I am not today.

Oh fuck. I'd actually rather have lost. One point is still not enough...

This must be the end of Souness now!!!

Piss poor defending again.

Fuck 1-1

Is it on German TV somewhere? 72890[/snapback] It's on the Premiere Konferenz, where they are flicking through the matches (which is an absolutely crap idea btw). So you don't really see the match just the important scenes. From what I saw and heard on the radio Solano is brilliant and Newcastle are having more of the ball but creating fewer chances than Boro who were unlucky and only went behind thanks to a brilliant set piece. 72893[/snapback] Is it worth getting Premiere? 72895[/snapback] Not when you have a decent pub close to you. They are showing only few non-Sky games and they are always ManUre, Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal. And with the change in Jorman football TV rights the future (and prices) at Premiere is a bit unclear.

Absolutely fantastic free kick. My TV is about 2 mins ahead of the radio commentary so it's nice to hear them babbling about making Boro's miss pay when you know he already has scored a cracker...

I love Larsson (in a non gay way), but I think a striking partnership of Larsson and Shearer would be as mobile as a frozen penguin stuck on a lamp pole.

Looking at Leazesmag's other story I recommend to mail to Alan.Oliver@ncjmedia.co.uk

That bit would be speculation, apparently. 72845[/snapback] While we are at it... This is from today's Guardian:

makes for good reading all the same , i thought we were totally shit ...not as bad 72835[/snapback] 9 games without Owen: - 5 points - 4 goals (3 against Sunderland) Hopefully this is dragging you down to the right level of pessimism again...

Isn't the admin forum more or less the main forum at N-O.

Yeo, HTL already pointed that out. The site is currently really doing my head in...

To be fair though i would accept anybody else in charge of the team for the time being rather than the fuckwit that is in charge just now.. 72757[/snapback] Why? another short term solution to a long term problem. This club needs stability and long term vision rather than another quick fix with the Shepherd hammer. Bringing in anything other than our first choice world class manager just to get rid of Souness wont solve the long term problem. All I can see happening from that is 12 months from now this board looking as it does now but with the word Souness being changed to Allardyce/ Curbishly. No manager coming in now will rescue our season and personally, I dont want to scrape into Europe and then go out straight away next season. Given the choice I'd rather make certain the manager was right for the job before we appoint him. Whether we finish 8th or 16th is irrelevent this season, its not good enough for this club. 72776[/snapback] That's why I think the club should go out in public and start looking for a new manager and be it for the new season. Can they do it with Souness in charge? I don't think so. They can't say, "Look Graeme you are a shite manager and we are trying to get rid of you as soon as possible. Unfortunately you have already ruined our season and no other good manager is available now." The only option is to hire an adequate manager right now (which I agree is difficult) or to give the job to a caretaker as short gap solution but make it clear they are looking for a high profile manager. Unfortunately that is what Newcastle should already have done 18 months ago. They could have let John Carver running the first team affairs until they were sure to make the right appointment. But oh no, we were obviously in danger of relegation at that time...

relegation is a possibilty now that Owen is out. 72595[/snapback] Stand by to be ridiculed. 72598[/snapback] I'll just say: 5 points from 9 games without Owen.

Or at least give every of these topics its own forum. Now that would be GREAT © SLP 2005.

No, no, according to Dougie relegation was a certainty under Uncle Bobby...

If we wait another half an hour he'll have a broken leg...
