    Mac in Pardew Facepalm

    The injuries we seem to suffer from is a very good point as well. What is happening there? Is something going wrong in recruitment? With training? Physio? Or are we imagining our injury woes are consistent year upon year? I don't have much negative to say about Pardew, under what seem to be...

    Mac in Pardew Facepalm

    I can't disagree with the fact we need to get some players in, but I'd like to see something of a re-emergence of some of those who have fallen down in the estimations of the club and supporters. We need players in but can't wholly believe that our squad is so loaded with bench warmers that they...

    Mac in Pardew Facepalm

    I agree with much of the above about the quality, or lack of, in the squad. Thing is, aren't we expecting those players to get better under a decent coach. If we're trying to put some faith into SM shouldn't we be saying, wonder if he'll finally get Cisse scoring on all cylinders, think he'll...

    Match Day Thread Newcastle United v Arsenal - Official Match Day Thread

    Was expecting a battering, we lost, that was a given, but sounds like we made an actual fight of it in the second half. Given the state of the squad I wasn't expecting to be able to say that.

    Redknapp on HBA

    Professional football players work for the management - If I don't get on with my boss and do my job I'll get sacked. HBA, regardless of what's gone on, has pissed off Pardew and can't get in the side despite his "talent". In black and white terms, paid lots of money, not getting anything for...

    Everton look great

    "Other United stars who have had their names spelt wrongly include Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, who wore 'Solksjaer' in 2002, and John O'Shea, who became 'S'hea' in 2003." Read more...

    Gutierrez or McClean

    This question is a bit premature - I will say this though MON has really sorted Sunderland out and I'm glad to see them and us doing so well this season just hope we can both maintain it. McClean looks good but it is very early days for the lad would be happy to see it's not a flash in the pan...

    Protest @ SJP

    Should probably protest, I mean we've had a shocking start to the season I'm certainly not happy that we dropped two points at le'arse... I couldn't care less about Ashley but I'm confused at what the protests are about. If it's we should have spent more money I'm really confused more money on...

    Bruce: We had total domination!

    In the interview with him on the bbc website http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/14514549.stm I thought he was actually pretty fair. Don't know if it's any different from the one on MOTD or not. There were times in the first half where they did look in the ascendency - they were the home...

    Newcastle/Liverpool board tensions

    I've nothing against Liverpool but it is painful losing players to you, you can imagine if you had lost Gerrard and Carragher a few seasons back both to the same club you'd have been pretty down about it. These were players who the fans invested a lot of hope in, though I do think that overall...

    Before you all start

    Everyone calls Pardew et al puppets of Ashley but what would you like him to come out and say. I'm trying to get more players in but you know the boss is a complete bastard so I probably won't get anything? - thanks for being honest Alan, good luck at the next place. He's got to use the media as...

    everyone's a bit stir crazy

    I don't post often on here but think a few people need to calm down. It's the transfer window everyone seems to be panicking over what we are doing. The Barton saga is a bit mental but he's one player, albeit one of our best players, and what will be will be. I like Barton on the pitch but if I...

    Transfer Rumours Kevin Nolan Having Medical At West Ham [Merged]

    It's not the brightest move ever, even if we are hoping to replace him with improved players I would rather have Nolan on the bench to come on and bolster a midfield than the unproven players we are buying in - and before I get the "Unproven? UNPROVEN?" rant followed by a load of statistics I...

    Who do you think is the player of the year at newcastle

    I am surprised by how few votes Nolan has received seems the man is taken a little for granted by a lot of supporters. He's a midfielder with a hell of a lot of goals for us who is pretty much the embodiment of a fighting spirit for the side without him this season and last I don't know where...
