I won’t say he will need sacked but we have lost a lot of important games recently. Especially away from home.

And that one does make me concerned.

Newcastle vs Sunderland is not just an "important game" this time.

We have spent more on our squad than that club is worth.

They've been in League one for years and years, now they have gotten into the Championship and are midtable.

In that time, we have risen up and up, taken so much ****ing piss out of them for YEARS.

If they beat us and knock us out the FA Cup, it's not just a big game lost

its a historic achievement for Sunderland, at OUR expense.

It's unacceptable, no big clubs on the continent would accept such things. Managers would be under immediate intense pressure.

get down the pump house fella and you can win sausage easily there. Trev says it only cost him 3 pints.

I’ve been down the shop and the quality is extremely low. The standards appear to be accepting the last drabs on the dance floor.

Look we are like the inbetweeners right now. We just miss the goal.

But our owners are ****ing shagging Beyoncé and want more.

We have to stop this small mindset. We are going places and this result was predictable but also avoidable:

We are entering the twilight Mark Hughes/Man City days. When the likes of Garry Cook and Mark Hughes were just shown to never have the mindset, ability or balls to get the club further, they acted and made a LOT of replacements.

Our transfers have been awful since we let Howe take the lead. The squad management awful. The lack of nous in games telling. The results say it all. I thought it couldn't get worse than chucking it vs Liverpool, then Milan said "hold my beer" before Trippier said "I'll see your beer and raise you".

I think others have it nailed - this is set up for Mourinho coming in, but to do that you can't have the likes of Staveley calling any shots. There's going to be ongoing questions from the very rich Arabian ownership and Howe's not going to like it. Anyone can win the home games, as has been proven by Villa, Fulham and even Bournemouth and Everton. The away form is disgraceful. £300m+ spent and Matt Ritchie's on the field - all this "impact" **** is tiresome, Schar, Gordon, Isak are out because their soft tissue can't cope with this style. There's a reason we're the only team playing 100mph pressure football, because it's not sustainable. Throw in the ridiculous subs - what the **** are we paying £30m for Hall for if he's worse than Ritchie? - and we're at a crossroads.

Honestly, don't come at me - we are at a crossroads and some of the people fundamental to our rise will be victims, whether you like it or not.

Lack of nous is a big thing thats cropping up at the moment, I think we can play with this style however it's clear that with the injuries we have continuing to force what few players we have left to play this way isnt gonna work, we need a plan b and we need to be a hell of a lot smarter with our game management as i said earlier why the **** would you compound the pressure on trippier and make him take a penalty and he will still play the full 90 next match too I bet.

I love Eddie and co but I think there will be serious questions asked about the decision makers at this club in the summer.

We've come on massively.

And some of the comments on here are the exact reason the press make out our fan base is delusional and over demanding and over expectant.

So were City, mate. In fact, they were League One a few years before the takeover happened - did the owners lament that and think "well, could be worrse, we could be playing Rochdale"? Nope.

It's all down to the ambition, I suppose. Realistically, nobody has looked at Howe and thought "that's the man to break the trophy duck". Let alone when you're watching him bring on Matt Ritchie because Anthony Gordon was sent out hobbling and now can't stand up.

I’m on your page. I’m not pissing about anymore either with this fake positivity ****.

We now have to kick on and start winning games. These owners are not going to pump 100’s of millions in for us to be Fanny’s.

And honestly because we are NUFC fans that’s what we have become. We should demand more. We should not just accept ****e like the bedwetters are out because that’s what makes us weak.

We go into every game now hoping to win. Praising when we do. But god no we can’t be negative when we don’t that’s not allowed.

Well I’m gonna be straight. I am going to ge positive and praise when it’s due. And the opposite when it’s not.

If imma bedwetter then I can say I pissed the end every week under Ashley so a couple more bed sheet changes won’t matter.

I can only assume there’s a commitment to buy if he plays X number of games, we’ve decided he’s too big a risk at 28m and he’s heading back to Chelsea without us wasting the money

This is clearly the way. Howe has seen something lacking in training and will let him go back. It may mean we have someone else lined for though. Anyone know if there is a recall clause?

No mate it’s just natural reactions to proverbially ****ing up again. We are so used to failure that when it happens we accept it.

Oh it’s just nufc doing the same ****.

I guess we could blame Trippier again. He’s the one that cocker up his header and his penalty was worse than 95% of his corners.

Win lose or draw I support the team but it’s so hard when we always lose the big ones.

Lose against the Mackems. Ooft

Been reported that its got a performance based clause to make it permanent. let's be honest, the lad is behind Burn, Targett, Livermento, Ritchie in the pecking order - which suggests he's ****ing gash.
