gpirlo68 0 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) If they'd spent the £15 million on Charlie Austin in the summer we wouldn't have been in this mess again He's canny at centre back is Austin Edited April 14, 2016 by gpirlo68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) The point, Stevie, is that we'll still be able to attract players in the Championship and you're being a bedwetter. There's plenty of reasons why a player would choose Newcastle United over Bournemouth. Surprised you're agreeing so heartily with the mackems given your previous contempt for them. Wonder whats happened to change your stance so? I'd say there are people who should stick to pouty selfies and weight-loss updates, leave conversations to those who're able to behave like a grown up. Not having a go at you, but how many games have you actually been to in the last 10 years? I've heard you on voice, you sound like a gentleman version of Michael Chopra, I don't think you're a stuttering lad, but if you were stood beside someone who is quite clearly right and has your football knowledge multiplied by four thousand, it would be interesting to see if you made similar comments.

Less than you, but then I wasn't "boycotting" the club; I was living at the other end of the country. Would I give my opinion on football if I was stood near someone who disagreed? Of course I would. There's substantial evidence that I'm not shy of offering and opinion, regardless of who's stood around and regardless of how highly they regard their own knowledge.

Anyway, I'll get you a ticket for Brentford away next season and I'll have a football discussion with you and your pals in some cracking bars up Ealing.

I'll likely be in Manchester by then, so it'll probably be easier to meet for a pint in Newcastle or Manchester than Brentford, but it's nice to see that you've grown as a person. Or is this another one of those times where you offer to meet up with someone, but it never transpires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 A short Newcastle statement today read: “Daryl Janmaat is currently undergoing treatment for a groin injury suffered during the game against Southampton on Saturday. “The 26-year-old defender has also undergone treatment for a hand injury sustained the same day. “Janmaat will be unavailable for the club’s forthcoming fixture against Swansea at the weekend. “He will be reviewed further next week and the club will provide an update in due course.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7027 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I doubt he'd have come. He's also scored 1 goal since his move. We would be in exactly the same predicament as we are now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35079 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 He's also scored 1 goal since his move. We would be in exactly the same predicament as we are now Probably, aye. Moot anyway. It might have made a difference getting him and Mitrovic at the start of the season so we had more striking options but that was never going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 20139 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 If they'd spent the £15 million on Charlie Austin in the summer we wouldn't have been in this mess again He's been sensational at Southampton aint he? We needed defenders. I heard on a podcast that Shearer had the same centre back partnership (Colo and Taylor) when we were relegated last time. We have done fuck all since really to improve that. Yes, we needed a goalscorer, but with a shite defence it makes fuck all difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's nigh on impossible but 38 0 all draws would have us in a better position than the one we are currently facing. The spine of a team starts at the back.

It doesn't help that's there no protection in front of the back four either, we dont defend as a unit/team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 From the presser Benitez: Dummett is back, Taylor & Janmaat not available for swansea. Coloccini has had a 'reaction' in training & is still out We have to manage with the players we've got Its important we have these 4 home games the fans can make a difference We have to have confidence v Swansea it's massive & crucial Team training is really well now is the time to show that quality & character on the pitch I don't see fear in the players I just know they're upset & dissapointed. But they'll fight until the end & give everything Not bothered about Norwich v Sunderland early kick off confident we can get the points to stay up the fans will make a difference Swansea have confidence they're organised they're not at risk of relegation they'll play football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 7083 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Feel for him as he's just going through the motions, he will know that a win tomorrow is our last faint hope. Hopefully the fans have a really good game, don't concede early and find a couple of quality goals to boost their confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7027 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Got a free ticket for this tomorrow. Lascelles, Mbemba, Dummet, Mbabu (if fit) and Darlow can't do any worse than the usual back 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
