Howay

Why does Jesus Navas play by the way? Less end product than Gabriel Obertan.

Nah, they have that awful tendency of losing to the mackems as well.

Aye pretty arrogant bunch especially considering how fucking crap they were around a year ago themselves, still they're not wrong saying we are shite mind. They did struggle to beat Norwich, Norwich and drew with West Brom recently so although I still think it's too early for Rafa and we'll lose, there's definitely a chance for us to pick up points which I thought was impossible just last week.

Norwich holding on against Man City.

I can just see Sissoko giving a fuck now, the absolute fucking arsehole he is. . I'm actually excited for our next game even though it's against Leicester, despite the excitement I'm actually glad it's a Monday so that Rafa has the whole weekend with the team.

" It's like when you make a substitution in desperation and it comes off. You get all the credit for your tactical brilliance when it's often just luck.'" Aye that seemed to be the way Allardyce made a lot of his choices when he was at our club, I'll never forget watching him huff and puff down the stairs from his ridiculous seat in the stands with 2 tellys in front of him after the 4th Portsmouth goal flew in. We've had some right fucking sacks as managers in recent years eh.

on it like a cheap suit.

Thanks for the insights Jillc.

Probably not even the worst Chegwin related one.

:lol: Fucking hell man. Shameful google search to pull that one up eh Fist.

Aye decent bloke but poor manager, much more dignified leaving words than that utter prick Pardew. Glad we finally have a proper manager for the first time in yonks.

Aye has some cheek eh? They have 8-10 threads on our new manager, it's bound to get some attention from toon fans. I also don't find anything odd about my username, I guess it's spelled wrong to the paedo sympathizers. Oh aye I'm not a member over there, if I was I'd probably go by this same username and I'd be on as a Newcastle fan as I'm not a wum type but I've no interest in discussing anything with them same as I'm sure the bloke who posted that has no interest in discussing things with us.

Well similar skin colour, besides that though they look nowt alike.

Good on him getting them on the training pitch right away, just the attitude we needed.

I know CT is don't know how many others are.

Aye if you were going to try and guarantee fucking up a managerial appointment having Lee Charnley as their boss would probably be a good place to start. Just had a quick look and they have about 8 threads about him, some very odd views. "Never rated the fat Spanish waiter" tends to be a common one, a lot reckon he got carried through success at Liverpool by the players but tbh a quick look at their CL winning squad debunks that theory. The question of whether he is still the same level he was at a few years ago is a decent one but saying I never rated him is just being daft tbh.

He has been paid millions for the shit job he did, I'm not worried at all about the bloke.

Aye that'll be big, I think we'll see a massive difference in the effort from the team. It probably wont be enough against a side as capable as Leicester are but we have a lot more chance than we had 2 days ago.

A good move for once, it's later than it should have been but at least it's the right one. We've got a tough fight now but this appointment definitely lifts the fans and most definitely the players as well, hope we stay up or it's back to managers like Pardew and McClaren for god knows how long.

:lol:

I can't recall a player as capable at home yet so ineffective away as Wijnaldum, it's just weird. I'd say it is in part due to the set up of the team but he also just doesn't seem to play as well even when he does touch the ball.

Agreed that there isn't a lot he can do for the fire power, I think he will no doubt focus in on Wijnaldums finishing ability and probably try and use Mitrovic as a focus point to get Winny knock ons etc. I think he'll use Tiote, we need too tbh as I can't stand watching Jack Colback carry on pretending he is a Premier League player.

Aye I have so little respect for Charnley that I fully expect he was seeing what people like Phil Brown were up too, it's clear to me the man has no ambition whatsoever as if we're able to get Benitez in this position we could have definitely got better than McClaren in the summer. They basically begged McClaren to take the job for 6 months, utter utter shambles.

I'm glad you're excited but I can't see 2 days of training having enough effect to pull something off against a side as capable as Leicester, I really hope he does but I'm not giving it much chance and don't think the game will be in any way indicative of how he will have the team set up in future. Just hope the tramps and Norwich lose their next games too so we have 9 games (and they have 8) from the level we are at now to overtake.
