All Premiership news here. Can anyone beat last seasons Champions ?... Manchester United

http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/1723/74138910xx1.jpg

Manchester City can. And Man United seem to be struggling to beat anyone at the moment !

Hopefully we can stuff Everton tonight. It will be an emotional occasion what with the senseless murdering of that little boy who was an Everton fan. I know they will be looking for a win for him.

But as a Blackburn fan, much as I'd like a win for their family, I have to be selfish and hope that we get the 3 points.

Well Man U may not be there for long but at the moment they are sitting in 19th place :)

Whenever England wins either a Euro cup not to mention a world cup again, I may get interest into the premier league, or whatever it´s called, :lol:. Same shit as down here, soccer (ok, football), soccer (ok, football again) and more soccer. So boring there´s only that on the news every day. Which was that scotish team? Go Rangers go! :p

Being a Lifelong Leeds fan I detest the likes of Manure, Chelski and Arse.
I hope Newcastle win the Premiership and I hope they thrash Middlesbrough tomorrow (Work will be fun on Tuesday if they do)

Personally I hope football never catches on in the U.S, as it'll only end up more ludicrous than it currently is.
Let them stick to their bastardised rugby (NFL) and that game they call Baseball, over here it's a girls game called Rounders.

*Currently watching MOTD (Match Of The Day)* So let me say firstly...

SHEARREERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Aye, Man U are struggling, there is already an 8 point gap to Chelsea I think, but they play Spurs tommorow of course. I would love to see Newcastle win the league too (obviously HAWAY THE LADS), but it isn't gonna happen. I would be happy with us breaking back into the top 7 or even 6. We are still in the top 10 as it is (I think) and have 2 games in hand over numerous teams.

Very early days yet, things will looks a whole lot different come Xmas... but im glad as hell that the Prem is back and running. WHOOSH!

well Although Chelsea beat Portsmouth today, a lot of the Chelsea fans reckoned Pompey made them look very ordinary. If only Anelka would hurry up and sign - then those half chances will be goals :)

Not watched MOTD yet. Have it on Sky+.

Will look out for Rocky's goal in the morning though before I have to switch it off so my daughter can watch Wonder Pets...

:lol:

Just in case these get missed in the "Fantasy Football" thread I was joking around in:

Looks like a funny start atm , Man Utd gotten of to a shakey start, Chelsea seem they need to settle in abit more , Arsenal im sorry to say will struggle to make the top 6 imo this season, Liverpool look stronger but for the love of god play Crouchy lol :lol:
Looking at the other teams, well would like to see Everton challenge in the top 6 , Newcastle aswell (although lack abit of spirit without Shearer ), Pompy look like they might also be in with a shot for top 6 , wouldn't be suprised to see Blackburn close to the mix aswell or Reading, Man City .
Not sure who will go down this season , but im thinking Derby County, possibly Sunderland , the other one im unsure of atm.
Still its very early in the season:)
Regarding Euro 2008, does anyone else here think Steve Mclaren is a waste of space lol? :lol:

Those were the days

0 -0 against Chelsea. Not bad for us, even though we didn't play very pretty or well. Still, nice to have a crap decision go our way for a change, though I must admit I had to have it explained to me by Mr. Shearer before I knew it was offside. Never understood what happened when the ball was passed when the player was between the last defender and the goalkeeper.

Always assumed that would mean they were automatically off-side.

Nevertheless, another point off one of the big 4 (1-1 with Arsenal, 0-0 with Chelsea).

Long may our strong start to the season continue.

:rock:

Oh yeah, since there seems to be a blue and white theme to this whole area, how about a Rovers player in the background ?

:rock:

Derby 1 - 0 Newcastle... FUCK THAT!!! :mad1:

Downer! I fancied your boys to take them to the cleaners, nevermind though you'll still be the top North East team in may.

Having 14 of our lads away on International duty really didn't help us at all. Michael Owen looked fairly knackered (why didn't he just play Martins from the start instead and bring Owen on with 20 to go or something).

Oh well, we'll be better on Sunday against West Ham I fancy. And aye, we'll still be the top North East team come May, but that's not really saying a great deal these days lol. If we break back into the top 8 I'll be happy. Then take things from there.

What we really need is Viduka partnering Owen. Viduka being quite similar to Heskey in many ways. Strong hold up play etc.

p.s. I am thrilled to see Leeds already up and over the defecit points hurdle. They'll do a Juventus and jump straight back by destroying the rest of the league they're in. Hopefully in 3 or 4 seasons they'll be back in the Prem where they belong.

Yeah, Internationals messed it up for you boys. Glad we don't have that headache to be honest, although a few do waltz off here and there.

Still, we'll probably suffer from a European hangover on Sunday, and Portsmouth are a bloody difficult team to beat. I wouldn't be surprised if our unbeaten run disappears. Harry loves spoiling our parties !!!

:slap:

Dave, the only thing I don't like about Blackburn is... Robby Savage :lol:. What a F**king C**t :D.

Portsmouth are fairly reliable it seems, they also have great fans who just seem to love the game. How long that attitude will last as they get closer to europe and trophies, im not sure. But it's nice while it lasts.

Im hoping the Toon can slip into the top 8 this season then take things from there. Blackburn look very strong already and i'd love to see them do well. I reckon they might just grab 6th spot if they maintain a good standard throughout the season.

Well lets hope Newcastle can out do Roy Keane's boys at Sunderland, if not it will be a bloody bleak season for Newcastle lol :lol:
Im abit suprised by Reading atm , they looked sharp on the ball last season, this season they seem to be well asleep in defence and there attacks lack the finishing touch , hopefully they can turn it around :)
Not sure who will snatch the league this season, its still to early to see whos a domiant force at the top atm :headscratch:

Bugger, it seems we suffered our European Hangover a little too early ! Just before kick off I would say ! I hope we recover by Sunday !

:maddance:

Mourinho is gone, and I for one am worried as Mark Hughes was a surprise contender when the rumours of the next manager came around last time.

Danny - yeah, I hated Savage until he played for our team. He gets in people's faces and that unsettles their play, and that's kinda worth it for a team like us who need whatever advantage we can get. I do admit, he is slow in the tackl;e sometimes, and arms flair about a bit too. Then again, Tim Sherwood used to play like that for us, and I always regarded him as a legend for our club.

Savage is like Paul Dickov. A player you absolutely hate if in another team, but you love to bits if their in your team's colours as you always know what you arte gonna get from them. I just wish he wouldn't go to ground too early though. That's the one thing I hate about his game, but it seems part and parcel of the premiership these days.

I've always been saying I have to get one of those magic sponges.

And what's the thoughts on Mourinho going then ?

And what's the thoughts on Mourinho going then ?

Was mega surprised really, did NOT see that coming. He'll be a bit of a loss to the Prem really. We need big characters like that. Though at the same time it'll be nice not to have to listen to his constant whinings whenever a game doesn't go his way.

I really like Mourinho. there is a great interview with him here http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/sol/newsid_7000000/newsid_7007700/7007741.stm?bw=bb&mp=wm&news=1 and he fairly open and explains a bit about his character. ie he admits he likes the UK press (which explains his madness :)) Comes over as a completely different person once he is away from football.

I am gutted he is gone because he is possibly the only one except Sir Alex that will argue with the new breed of billionaire club owners. I believe that he actually intimidated Roman by telling him to stay out of the dressing room. And I honestly believe he loved being at the club. The premiership is going to be slightly less entertaining without him.

:notme:

Arse.....ne Wenger !!!!

:mad1:

Yeah, I will miss Mourinho as well. He was a crazy whinging fool, but he was brilliant with it at the same time. Premiership won't be the same without him. Nor will Chelsea, at least until they readjust.

Poor Poor West Ham :lol:

HAWAY THE LADS!!!

I just cannot believe that we lost again. And, going by the way the Rovers fans are complaining about the performance, we didn't play particularly well either and so got what we deserved.

Pompey are a tough side to beat at the best of times, but if you don't set out your stall or convert those early chances, then you ain't gonna get anything for your labour.

I just hope Hughes can sort it out soon. It's nice to get used to not losing, it really is.

Plus, with the players we have, we should be expected to get results at home, no matter how good the opposition's defence is.

:mad1:

You battered us for 12 minutes or so. But the game seemed to turn after Papa Dioup upended Savage, and he really did go flying :) Then it was more about solid defending and tightening up the midfield. Pompey actually looked very strong and seemed to out muscle Blackburn. And we actually looked comfortable with you lot in possession. I think we only had 35% or so which makes it sound like backs to the wall stuff. But it didn't feel that way. I would say we were lucky but I honestly believe that we bullied you off the park. Thanks for the 3 points - I am sure you will return the favour though.

Just what I have read. I was doing DIY on Sunday and so couldn't watch it on the computer nor listen on the radio as I was fecking about with the electrics.

Part time supporter, I know.

But yeah, other fans were saying that we came out of the blocks flying, but that there was only Samba and Santa Cruz that really were giving it them all.

Apparently Savage isn't the player he once was after breaking his leg and always looks like he is in fear of hurting the leg again.

Also, they mirrored your view that you muscled us off the park and made our bully boy image look like a farce as we rolled over like pussy cats.

But people were giving Redknapp credit where it was due. He seemed to get the tactics right and switched so that you completely closed the game to our wingers and then bossed it.

This is what I mean. It is so disappointing. We started so well, and seem to have stalled. We seem to be in bad need of a service so early on. I hope Sparky manages to sort it out.

There is a feeling that Pederson and McCarthy need to be dropped to the bench and bring in Sergio Peter and Derbyshire for a time. The new blood should give them the kick up the arse that they need.

I don't think it's coincidence that ever since our central pairing of Samba and Nelsen has been broken up that we have started losing games. The even sadder news is that Nelsen is out for a month. We could well be out of the UEFA Cup and back in the bottom half of the table by then...

:(

Maybe I need to get to see a game with my own eyes and form my own opinion !

:lol:

aww.. mourinho has left... no more Hail mourinho thread again lol he was special and u guys know that

Pompey are currently sitting above Chelsea in the league!! and the 7-4 win over Reading is the highest scoring geme ever in the Premiership. It was an amazing game - not for all the right reasons but it is still an incredible result.

Kai ... re: Mourinho, its a massive shame to lose him from English football. He kept me entertained all the time. Will you still support Chelsea or are you following Mourinho to his next club?

That Portsmouth game has to be the best value for money game in the Premiership as well. What's that, just under 3 quid a goal ?

I knew you would be on here Porty. How often do you concede 4 times in the Premier League and still win the game with room to breath ?

Amazing result, can't wait for it on Match Of The Day tonight.

We won too, and are also above Chelsea with a game in hand, so long may it continue. Roque is looking lika another Sparky Bonus Buy !

I love it when you win and The Premiership is on.

Never thought about it that way - £3 a goal lol!

There was a lot of people moaning at Fratton park today about "Calamity James" - People have short memories because James was worth about 10-15points for us last year. He was magnificent. That little moment of stupidity today was a blip in form rather than a regular occurance. James has had the misfortune to make his slips very much in the glare of the public spotlight - in the National Team. Anyway - the general consensus at the end is James vindicated himself by the penalty save. Personally I think it has been an honour for Pompey to have him play for us. I didn't hear too many people moaning about Sols attempted interception leading to an own goal.

Anyway moaning aside, justice was done. Benjani has been a crowd favourite since he got here and today he got a hat trick. This is the same guy who missed more chances than Lampard in the World Cup. Benjani was missing the goal from 2 yards out!! Today he was awesome. And even though he got the hat trick he was never selfish. Utaka linked up well with him too and Muntari looked pretty special as well.

7 goals from playing one up front?? Amazing.

What a game , you could argue the result of poor defending by both teams but like Keegan's Newcastle exciting to watch . The James incident was dodgy but Kitson still finished very well .Strange to think Portsmouth of all teams hold the record of most goals scored in a Premiership game . No Harry Redknapp on MOTD which i found odd , but a great win .

Redknapp refuses to speak to the BBC after they tried to trick him into taking a bung. Ferguson and Allardyce also refuse to speak to the BBC.

i have been a chelsea fan since the glenn hoddle days :) i will support them and at the same time watch for mourinho progress... im sure the special one will come back again sometime in the future

Glenn Hoddle? Scummer!!! :lol:

I feel Mourinho was going downhill anyway . He was losing ground and i think he pulled the emergency cord to cover any possible embarrassment . I do think this new guy ???? the Israeli gadge Avram will screw things right up and i fear Chelsea are gonna end up mid table . On the plus side Terry and Lampard will be sold , so who knows where they might be going .

Kai, If Mourinho ended up managing Blackburn Rovers, would Blackburn Rovers become your number one team one again ?

:dunno:

As you'd understand mate, football support is based purely on Gegraphical location. Since I could see Ewood Park from my bedroom, it was always and will always continue to be Blackburn Rovers.

We've had Graham Souness, Brian Kidd, and Roy Hodgson since I've supported them and I've still supported them. So I'd still support them with Mourinho at the helm. Let's face it, he couldn't do a worse job than any of them.

We nearly got relegated with two of them, and Brian Kidd managed to take us through the trapdoor !

with the player quality chelsea has..i doubt they will be a mid table team...a top four is realistic.

i would follow his progress..but i hope he will manage portugal national team...they will finally win the world cup if he does manage them.. im not a fan of portugal... im more into holland and argentina lol

Portsmouth?? WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? Winning away from home??? Happy days...

BTW Art ... Elano was magnificent against Boro - no shame there. Elano is world class.

A Chelsea fan goes to a prostitute who has just had a tattoo of John Terry done on the inside of one thigh, and Frank Lampard on the inside of the other thigh.

The prositute says, "If you can guess who those two are, you can have this shag for free !"

The bloke says, "I don't know who those two are, but the one in the middle with the big lips and the curly hair is Sean Wright-Phillips !"

:D

Another away win for Protsmouth and Benjani is the premierships LEADING SCORER. I am more than a little bit happy today!!!!! :D

Yah, I know. We keep winning, then I go to check the teams around us, and they're all winning as well. We're just keeping up with the Jones', but not managing to gain any ground on them yet.

Man U, Liverpool and Tottenham next.

Bugger !

:brickwall:

Although Frank Lampard has scored in his last two games rumours are rife that he is still not match fit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:

Almost as funny as Blackburn being 5th in the table and taking another point off one of the top 4 teams !

How dare we ???

:woot:

actually you are 6th and we are 5th thanks to ManC. And its odd, Pompey used to lose away from home all the time but lately? Well I can't say too much because a certain toon supporter is still smarting :)

Our reaction will probably be as patheticly dramatic as ever and before you know it Mark Hughes will be leaving Blackburn for St James Park. Useless drama mongoring. Big Sam is the man for the job just needs to have more time to sort out his best team and strategy and suchlike. Alot of major changes to the club and things need to settle. You just watch it, we'll come to Fratton Park (that's your place... right ?) wih revenge on the mind :chucks: ... and swiftly get beat again.

What the fuck would Hughes want to leave Blackburn for Newcastle for ?

:headscratch:

Only places Hughes would go are Chelsea or Man U as he has played for them both. I honestly can't see why he'd be attracted to Newcastle. It would just be a sidestep. Albeit he would probably get more money and arguably not buy as badly as past managers have done.

However, factor the big club syndrome into it (we've got a big fan base, therefore we are a big club, even though we've won fuck all in donkey's years) and the fact that the fans expect so much after feeding off breadcrumbs for so long, and he'd last how long ?

Oh yeah, as long as some of the past legends that have unsuccessfully managed the club (Keegan, Dalglish, Robson, etc.)

:lol:

I had read it in the paper and it pissed me off so I threw it in to add to the effect of the sentiment I was trying to put forward. But by all means have a bash at the toon, you don't happen to work for the BBC do you ? :D. Hughes is overachieving at Blackburn that's for sure, he'll want a bigger club eventually and like it or not the brand of Newcastle United is a bit larger than the brand of Blackburn Rovers. Even though your lot are a better side than us and have been for a couple of seasons (even though we keep beaing you). Not that im saying he'll come here at all, I just want to get back at you for the above you git. Im happy with Big Sam, he'll figure it out eventually if Ashley gives him time which I imagine he will. And once Ashley wipes our debt out he'll probably start giving Sam money to spend too. January should be interesting that's for sure.

I can see Blackburn taking a downward turn when he goes . Similar to that of Bolton when Big Sam left. Im still not convinced Big Sam will do the business at The Toon and would have been much happier with Sven.

I agree. When Sparky goes we are fucked ! I mean, a guy who can get so much out of the Welsh national side and then out of a small town club like Blackburn.

Imagine what he could do with Manchester United. I would wish him well when he goes to Manchester United, but would be well pissed off if he went to Newcastle.

:lol:

That damn Champions League guys. Ok so I saw when Man Utd desroyed Roma 7 - 1... it was brilliant to see. But Liverpool won 8 - 0 tonight and I only saw the 2 goals in the first half before deciding it was a little boring and going off to watch something else. It would be funny if they failed to qualify anyway :lol: But I do like Liverpool, hope they have a good run again.

Does this mean Blackburn are 8 goals better than Besiktas ?

:headscratch:

Anyway, you're looking at the bloke who turned off the Champions League Final at half time when Liverpool were 3-0 down and woke up the next morning to Talksport windering what all the fucking fuss was about !

This was in the days before I had Sky+

:lol:

Still, hope they do it. Love to see British clubs do well in Europe, especially if it means it might upset their League form.

:toothless:

Bring on The Mackems dun diddy dun dun, dun diddly dun.

Pompey have now won 5 away games on the trot. Our wunderkind Niko Krancjar pulled out one of the dead ball goals of the season too. No wonder Croatia beat our national team :)

I reckon Sky tv destroyed our National team . Creating as they have a fantasy league of teams (excluding Middlesborough Sunderland and Newcastle ) and with potty cash incentives Managers have filled any vacant team slots with expensive quality foriegn players .
When you think only 1 player was home grown in yesterdays Arsenal game it really brings it home just how serious this is . Money spent in the premiership is not going to replace the money lost from not qualifying in major competitions .

I really do not know the answer to this .

the answer? 42!

At last, November is over. I don't want Sparky to ever win Manager Of The Month ever again !

Back to winning ways once again, although Aston Villa and Fulham are teams we should be beating if we really want to finish top six, let alone dislodge one of the top 4.

Good win for us, we rarely get anything against Newcastle at our place. Guess it was just lucky that one of our old boys was out injured. They always seem to score against us in these games.

Anyway, gotta feel sorry for Big Sam though, but glad we got those 3 points on the board, we needed 'em !

:wtf:

Poor Big Sam is having a torrid time of late, the players don't seem to want to play for him and the fans are being as fickle and pathetic as ever. Barton (of all people) has come out and said the right thing at the right time, we need all the fans to get behind the team to lift their spirits. Not boo them at ever turn. No doubt we'll sack Big Sam once we get destroyed by Arsenal and end up putting Shearer in charge. Legend or not, Shearer hasn't managed before, it worries me alot.

England future ?... I think it is secure. Look at the U21 side and how many of them are already big names with alot of talent and alot of confidence. It's just fear mongoring and excuses because we failed once again.

To be fair mate, and this is going from Match Of The Day Highlights only, as I was a busy boy on Saturday so didn't even catch the radio commentary, it looked like it could have been a lot closer game.

Sure, we got a good review and your guys got a slating, but I don't quite agree. Some of the defending from our team was quite woeful. A few times it was pure luck, coupled with misfortune on your part finalised with us throwing bodies in the way of the ball that kept the ball out of the back of our net.

It could have been a heck of a lot closer.

But it's like they say, when you're already down on your luck, nothing seems to go right for ya. I just need to rewind 180 minutes of football to see that applies for our team too. Numerous chances against Villa, none went in, and suddenly we are 2-0 down. Try to get back into the game, get a player sent off and go down 4-0.

Still, it's what keeps it interesting isn't it ? I think it was the wake up call we needed as some of the players were believing the good press we were getting and playing like they just needed to turn up to get a result.

However, I thought their were some lovely touches from McCarthy, though Mokoena makes some bad mistakes. As for Santa, well Christmas is coming soon, and I hope he has some shooting boots on his list, because he can't seem to hit a barn door from 5 yards away at the moment. It's like someone nicked his boots on International Duty !!!

:brickwall:

Should have beaten the Arsenal. Why we cannot play like that week in week out I will never know. We are a force of mighty proportions when we stand united like that. But the fucking drama keeps interfering, at least now we have stability with a smarter and more long term minded Owner and Chairman.

Yep, think you could have. Read that the Arsenal fans were a bit worried about the game what with coming up against Big Sam and Mark Viduka, both of which have been thorns in Arsenal's side for a while.

Still, a draw against the best team in England at the moment should do wonders for confidence. Should be able to build on that result now.

Aye, bring on the Brummies.

Aye, bring on the Brummies.

Ouch ! Just makes you realise that there are no easy games in The Premiership !

Good luck for the season, just remember to finish at least one place below us !

:toothless:

Well, can't say im happy with 2-2 at home against worst team in league, BUT... we didn't lose. Unbeaten run continues. Though something odd is going on, all the tables on all the channels clearly show us in 9th, which is correct looking at number of goals scored between Toon and BBurn at this point. So we're 9th and thats final. But Sky SPorts News continues to tell us that Toon are 11th, and the text on Sky Sports News tells us we're 10th. We're clearly 9th by having scored 3 more goals than Blackburn... meh. Sky Sports News needs to wake the fuck up and get their facts straight if you ask me. Blackburn and Toon forever knocking at the same door together. Should be interesting to see which of us finished above the other this season.

Sky Sports always fuck their tables up, it is really annoying !

Who knows mate. We seem to be having an inverse season than usual. i.e. usually start bad and then get better around Christmas. This time we had a storming start and now the fat bloke in the red suit has arrived, we've suddenly turned rubbish !

Just hope that we can turn it around again, though Chelsea isn't the best team for us to do it. We always seem to play well against them but end up losing.

:maddance:

And so a valiant display against Chelsea is blown to oblivion by a Linesman unable to determine that Kalou was a full 2 yards offside when the ball fell to his feet. The curse of Newcastle United goes on and on. When we get a bit of luck it seems to last 2 weeks at best, some other teams seem to get a bit of luck that lasts half a season, gives them buckets of confidence and then they wind up in a European spot. Fucking football, breaks your heart sometimes.

Dunno why you let it get to you mate. Footy is shite now and can't recover.
There's too many overpaid arseholes earning more in six months than you'll earn in your entire lifetime. Being a Leeds United fan, I've seen me fair share of overpaid shite believe me!
There's the 'big four, the so called darlings of the game, and that's it! There's no hope for other clubs as the four snatch up all the best players going. If one our lesser clubs bring a gem through the ranks they just sit watching, waiting to poach them. Sky help them with this too! With unwelcome comments like "oh so and so, he is a great young player, imagine wot he could do at one of the big clubs?" Sky are certainly not interested in any of other the clubs unless there is a hint of a scandal. Also when you see a match like Chelsea V Arsenal and there's 3 Englishmen on the field (non in the Arsenal team). How can our FA let that go on? Personally I would not follow a team that was full of foreigners, they're hardly representing the teams area, the only thing they're representing is their wallets. The blame lies with Sky, they are souly responsible for ruining our national game. I hope we get out of League one and I wouldn't mind a long stay in the Championship it's a more entertaining league, more like English football used to be.

I disagree, Man City are more than capable of penetrating the Big Four, as are Everton. They aren't set in stone. It isn't many years since my beloved Toon under Sir Bobby were a top 4 club. It changes now and then, though Man Utd always seem there, which is understandable with Sir Alex at the helm.

No, the Prem is great quality football with some of the finest players in the world. I just get annoyed at my own teams lack of effort all too often. Being a Leeds fan I can appreciate your current outlook but I think deep down you know fine well you want to see (as we all do) Leeds back in the prem where they belong.

Look at any other big league in the world, the top 4 or 5 teams are just about always the same... though AC Milan are having a bizarre season aren't they :lol:. It gives everyone else something to aim for, which makes for some smashing entertainment now and then.

Being a Leeds fan I can appreciate your current outlook but I think deep down you know fine well you want to see (as we all do) Leeds back in the prem where they belong.

Yeah I 'd like to see Leeds back up there, but I think they'll just be alsoran's and not hit the heights they hit before. Trouble is mate the top four are the media darlings. Fuck! Manure and The Arse get TV coverage if Fergie or Wenger farts. Good luck to your Geordie boys (Top North-East Team) and get shot of Alardyse in the summer, he's leading you nowhere.

Looks like he's away already, I was stunned by it but even though I feel we need to stick with someone... maybe he wasn't the guy to stick with for long term success (or short term... blatantly). The top 4 will change around in time, the profiles of all clubs are raised week in week out. Chelsea are hit n miss this season and were undeserving of their late win against us with Kalou 2 yards offside. Liverpool are as "meh" as ever in the league and this is opening up the doors for Man City's, Evertons, Blackburns and Portsmouthes to really grow and start to think it might well be very feasable to penetrate that top 4.

Very possible. I wouldn't include Blackburn on that list at the moment though. Seems Santa and Bentley have hit form over the Christmas period, and everyone has buggered off, Savage having done so in every sense of the word !

Kinda sad to see him go to be honest. He never gave less than 100% for us when he played, and although not the most technical of players, worked our crowd up and annoyed both the opposing teams and crowd. You can guarantee that he will do exactly the same to us when he returns, and I will hate him all over again ! At the end of the day, Mokoena, or Savage ? Let's just say I am glad Mokoena is away on African Cup Duty !

As for Allardyce and Newcastle, it was blatantly obvious he wasn't going o stay in long. The fans want football played beautifully and with passion. The most recent example I can remember of that is when Keegan was at the helm. Remember the Liverpool Newcastle ding dongs when he was at the helm ? Loads of goals they were, regular 4-3 results with the scores staying more or less level throughout the game with end to end stuff. Compare that to the Big Sam era, and it's kind of obvious that the fans weren't going to accept that kind of football.

I don't know who should come in to replace though. I certainly wouldn't be half surprised if Sparky did bugger off to your lot though. It would be an ideal time to go whilst our team is out of sorts and pick up a new challenge and maybe more finances at Newcastle. But then if he failed, would he then be able to get the Man U job he seems to be being molded for ? One thing is for certain, although a fan favourite, and local legend, I really don't think Shearer will bring the success you require. I'd love to be wrong, but just because he is a goal machine, doesn't necessarily mean he will be a great manager.

Then again, you've had some decent managers along the line that haven't been able to bring the football and success craved for, so maybe he might be right ?

Who bloody knows ? :dunno:

Anyway, roll on Sunday. Only a local derby against Bolton to get through. Lets hope Anelka has gone to Chelsea by then.

:D

Saw this posted on the Teamtalk website:


It seems to me that Newcastle have tried everybody possible, Shearer will not become manager as he wants to stay a cult figure, this status would certainly drop if he failed as well. What about trying Ant and Dec? can't be any worse.


Made me chuckle...

:lol:

Saw this posted on the Teamtalk website:

haha, give the lads a go, how bad could it be ?. Oh... THAT bad... ok nvm.

Well, I wish you'd sort it a new manager out soonish.

All this talk can't be making Porty or myself feel comfortable.

But it seems like another month of doom for us. Old Santa has only gone and won player of the month. That's him either injured or about to hit a goal drought for the next couple of months !

:brickwall:

At least Anelka's not at Bolton anymore, eh ?

:toothless:

I don't want Redknapp or Hughes. Sadly it looks like those are options 1 and 2.

WE WANT KEEGAN, WE WANT KEEGAN

heh - all the old skool fans wanted redknapp out after his stint at scum. I must admit I am glad he is staying but the next 6 weeks are going to echo last year imho. no wins!

All these names are annoying me, there is a new bookies favourite every couple of hours and it's unsettling. Next thing I wanna read is "The new Newcastle manager is...". I don't want Deschamps, Redknapp or Hughes. Shearer & Keegan would be interesting but going back might be a mistake for Kev. Shearer on his own could be the ticket, Just look at Klinsmann with Germany and Roy Keane with the Mackems. Time will tell, sadly it seems like too much time.

KEEEEEEEEEGGGGAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crikey !

Here's looking forward to this happening again:

nW8p8xppxwA

:lol:

Passionate man for a passionate club.

Great television. I hope he brings the success the fans thirst for so much. You've got the man you want, let's hope he can still deliver the football you so desire.

A risky decision, and I hope it's not just a quick fix job and he quits after 6 months.

But with a 4-1 against Stoke, he's already got a good result under his belt.

Lots to sort out in a short space of time though, otherwise he'd have to wait until the Summer to get the players he wants.

There isn't that much to do, people make it out to be a massive task, but all we ask is for a manager to get the players motivated, to get them playing decent football with a bit of pride. We haven't had that since the better days under Sir Bobby, but more so back when Kev was here initially as Manager. With the fans on side, the players will play and play well. Trying to play decent football infront of 50'000 Geordies who are all getting mightily pissed at the team not trying hard enough must be a terrifying thing to try and do. With Kev back they'll/we'll be supportive. Certainly won't be jumping up into top 4 or even 5 or 6 this season, or next likely. But top 8 is my personal hope for now. Just start chellenging for Europe again and put a good run together in whatever cups we can. Then take it from there. We don't ask for alot really, it's wrongly portrayed in the media that we all expect to be number 1 and winning everything, that's a nonsense. We expect to be challenging for a place in europe and to be trying hard and to be entertained. Even if we lose valiantly and put on a show we'll go home relatively content.

Aye, it just seems a bit daft though. What a difference a change of manager will make.

Let's say you play Bolton and get a 0-0 draw. Suddenly, all the fans will be receptive and accept that it will take time for the turnaround to happen. Yet the result and maybe the performance could be the same as under Big Sam.

You can't expect to suddenly play flowing football and win games, unless you are Man United or Arsenal. Liverpool to a certain extent, Chelsea don't get a mention because they have been boring for so long now.

I just currently see it as Keegan has a longer honeymoon period than the rest to turn results and performances around as he is one of you and hailed as a legend. i just wonder how long that period will last if results and performances aren't as to your expectations. i.e. no motivation, no decent football and no pride.

Don't get me wrong, I am praying for the 4-3 games against Liverpool once again, I just can't see how they can be done instantly. I can certainly see lots of goals if the flowing football is preferred, however, I think the Newcastle tally would be 0 unless he is able to sign a good few players before the transfer window closes.

And then if he does get them playing the football the fans want, and results go their way, then why they hell couldn't they do that for all the other managers ?

Like I say, fingers crossed you do well, and end up at least a place below Blackburn, and I'll have no complaints !

:thumb:

We don't expect 4-3 games every week right off the bat. But we expect slowly but surely for King Kev to start to lift the players, put his arm around them and give them some choice words. Make them all feel a foot taller etc etc. That's what we hope for, what we expect and what we hope are completely different things.

Right, now that we have the so called "dissapointment" out of the way early maybe the media can bugger off back under their rock and let us rebuild in peace. 4 of our top players at African Nations, 4 Top players banned and a further 4 or 5 sidelined, I thinki we did OK to get a 0-0. It'sa clean sheet and something to build on. Kev will lure some smashing players using that charm of his and we'll see what we can do over the coming months and seasons.

On another note, wtf is going on with Leeds all of a sudden. I expected them to destroy all comers on their way back to Championship but they have stalled as of late.

I am pissed off with the BBC's coverage and them going along with the hype of it all.

At the end of the day, a shit 0-0 draw was given the main match of the day by them, just because of the hype. Especially when there were plenty of other games that could have been given much more time.

By all means start off and cover the hype with Keegan coming back and footage for a couple of minutes, but the main game ?

And bugger me, wasn't I right ? Same result as under Big Sam, and same kind of performance. Let's hope it gets better from now on, eh ? And the BBC give some more air time to football being played.

With a bunch of kids on the bench, top players injured, away or otherwise engaged with bans and very little time to instill fresh spirit, it isn't much of a surprise. I will settle for 0-0 because I know Kev will do what Sam didn't even try to do. Motivate the players and lure top players with charm. Sam enjoyed settling for 1-0's and 0-0's and Kev woin't let that last too long.

I'll be glad to see the back of Arsenal, bastards lol.

Dennis Wise's appointment already seems to have upset Keegan. I just hope he sticks it out because he is, if nothing else, inspirational.

A fiver says he's walked within 6 months.

Im starting to get tired of Football and Newcastle United lol. To care so deeply for something that gives you fuck all in return is feeling increasingly foolish week on week. Put me, sadgey and geordie in that fucking team and we'd be 10 times better for it :lol:. Useless bunch of c-words.

I really don't wanna see Benjani go to Man City. I dunno why, I just don't. I just like him better at Portsmouth. I think if Pompey were able to keep both Defoe and Benjani, wow, what a combination !

:thumb:

Brad Friedel should be shot with immediate effect. You were fucking lucky that our "strikers" can't hit the target. Running on empty in the tank of confidence I guess. Another season doon the pan completely, I just pray we survive for next season still in the top flight. Cause you know Kev will get money to spend in Summer if we do. If we do get relegated im gonna try mega hard to stop caring about football :lol:, it is too painful.

:lol:

Damien Duff, eh ? He'll always be a Rover !!! But bugger me, we played like you had bribed us to play shit so that you could get that first win under your belt, yet you still couldn't do it. And that goal could have been made 10 times bigger and I still don't think the ball would have hit the back of the net !

But I truly felt as though it was a game we were going to lose. We are the club that gets beat by the teams that have had long runs of winning nothing, so would have been happy with a draw. To nick the three points is great, as we have had that done to us by the West Ham's, Bolton, Charlton's, etc. so many times. It hurts, too right, but it was our turn yesterday.

Just get Owen some target practise, and come up against a weaker goalie, and you'll be all right.

:thumb:

Fuck Owen, get me some good boots and i'll do this shit by myself. Tossers can't score for shit and I know fine fuckin well I can. I'd Unleash The Furay on all comers :maddance:

You wouldn't be able to beat Friedel.

:toothless:

You wouldn't be able to beat Friedel.

I'd beat all your keepers in the same goal at the same time. Without looking. Such is my instinct infront of goal.

Ah you'll be happy at the next season when you win the Championship and finally get some silverware...

:( Don't be mean... not my fault we suck.

Ah mate, I have been there remember. I support the only team to have won the Premiership and be relegated from said Premiership !

But football's still football. Remember, your support for a team is determined by geographical distance from your place of birth. My Grandad supported Southport all of his life, and believe me, they were crap by the time I was old enough to go and see them.

Not that it matters, football's football. You win some, you lose some. You lose lots if you're Newcastle (hee hee hee). Whether your team play in a kit that looks like the tea ladies knitted them (as was the case for Southport) or whether they play in the kind of material only really required by NASA, or whether they play in the Premiership or the Conference, you still bloody well support them !

You can't lose faith in football just because your team might not be in the Premiership next year, or might struggle with a relegation battle.

I've see the likes of Roy Hodgson, Graham Sounness and Brian Kidd turn us into a crap team, but you still go watch them, win or lose, and stay to the end, no matter how many goals you are leaking !

:thumb:

Im too smart to spend too much passion on something that isn't going to give back as much as I expect it to :lol:. If we get relegated then i'll support Liverpool until we come back to Prem :lol:.

Are you picking underachieving teams on purpose ?

Are you picking underachieving teams on purpose ?

:headscratch:

Anyone can support Arsenal or Man U or Chelski. Liverpool can win things but don't do it easily. Such is their charm. Having said that they are the most decorated club in English football I believe. I am kidding anyway, I semi support Liverpool but the Toon resulsts will (sadly) always be the ones I look for first.

Anyone can support .... Man U

But its better to be a Pompey supporter :) We're going to Wemberleeeey!!!!!!

Good for you. We're gonna get relegated. See you again in a few seasons.

Good for you. We're gonna get relegated. See you again in a few seasons.

I hope you don't go down mate because Newcastle supporters deserve better imo. But being relegated will give some of your players the reality check they need to start performing properly. I am not sure but I there is something very wrong with the team mentality and it goes back a long way. Possibly right back to Kieron Dyer falling out with Sir Bobby Robson. The team need to remember who the boss is and the fact the fans pay their wages.

That said the thought of any side that contains Michael Owen being relegated is almost beyond my comprehension. I just can't take that in.

As for Pompey - We will probably go out in the semi final but at least I get to see them at Wembley.

Barnsley doing Chelsea??? FAF!!!! Best result of the FA cup!!! Sorry Kai :)

Bah! As if the Premiership was the best league. You guys need to hold up your hooligans. Everywhere they visit they usually need a shot or two of B12. :p
Barça´s gonna win the eurocup this year, seems to me. But I don´t give a damn about soccer, I just came in here to brag a bit.

Thanks for that... Kinda confused as to the post. If you know about portsmouth then pray do tell :)

:wtf:

Awe cmmon! It´s all a joke. Oops, seems like I´m not invited in this private party. :lol:

ease up :) you are still the real favourite in the cup even if the form book says otherwise :D

Awe cmmon! It´s all a joke. Oops, seems like I´m not invited in this private party. :lol:

Seriously - I was shocked you replied ... Pompey are hardly intercontinental news :D

I fear a hiding tomorrow for Boro :( . Well done Portsmouth and Barnsley :boobies:

Up The Toon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Up The Toon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Up ???

I get a sneaky feeling boro are gonna get a kicking today as well:( I'd rather we concentrate on the premiership and not end up getting relagated than putting our time and effort into something that we have been to the final twice in the past and failed to win!!!:lol:

Up The Toon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pull on ya boots big lad, wa gannin doon there to kick some arse.

The problem is the supporters mate, we demand alot and because of the size of the club in the AREA, the people in charge try to give it to us. But we don't have a clue what is genuinely the best for our club. The big fish little pond syndrome affects the players ego's big time and that can be blamed on fans again.

Being relegated won't affect our big names, they'll leave and go to another top club and not think twice. We'll be left with some of the (very talented) youngsters we have, Carroll, K. Lua Lua, Fortser, Krul, Ramage, Taylor etc. Which might benefit us all in the long run. But I would hate it to come to that. I pray to whatever god of football truly exists that we survive till summer when KK can bring in some top players with a healthy and handesome budget from Ashley/Mort. But I am VERY worried... only good sign is we look good for large sectrions of the games and look like we can score. We just haven't yet, and then crumble when we let one in. Which leads to letting in a couple more. We should have got 3 points against blackburn and even mondy will own up to that. But anyway... fuck it. Bastards are useless, I would do better myself with geordie in goal and sadge in the middle of the park.

Your prediction is looking good unfortunately - Cardiff are 2-nil up.

Gotta say how refreshing it is to have only one Premiership team in the FA Cup semi finals (sorry to piss of Boro fans), and not a glamorous one at that (no disrespect Porty).

But at last, we have semis not filled up with Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea and fucking Liverpool.

I for one, am really looking forward to them, and the prospect of only one Premiership club at most in the final whets my appetite.

I am sick to death of shit finals featuring supposedly the cream of English football, when everyone knows a couple of teams who have fuck all else to lose or more importantly win in the the current season will give it their all and result in a far better final than a team full of nancy boys worried about getting injured and missing out on a Champions League place, or a team who have been dumped out of every other chance of winning and suddenly rediscover the romance of the FA Cup.

Bring it on !

...We should have got 3 points against blackburn and even mondy will own up to that. ...

Last week when I was being honest, maybe.

This week, where I am being cocky, I'd say you deserved fuck all. The stats said we were all over you, apart from number of corners won...

Just ribbing you mate. A refreshingly honest post.

Whilst relegation looks bad at the time, it certainly sorted my lot out. Was gutted to see them go, but we came back with a steadier ship, and Sounness got us back up and then fucked off to you lot to waste your cash in the Premiership rather than wasting ours.

ALthough he did buy Grabbi and Barry Ferguson, so maybe I have said £12mil too much...

:tard:

Ah well 2-0 :maddance: , but strangley im not that bothered , yeah it would be good to get to Wembley , piss-up etc , but Premiership survival is worth more for that we can thank Sky for ruining our once great competition .

i would like to see Portsmouth win the comp , i like HR hes a nice bloke , true englishman , and should be running England instead of that fucker who resembles Freddie Garrity .

"GO POMPEY"

"GO POMPEY"

Well it looks good so far. We beat the last 3 teams; Manure in the cup, Brum and Villa in the league (50 points.) Not bad for the smallest club in the premiership lol

Well it looks good so far. We beat the last 3 teams; Manure in the cup, Brum and Villa in the league (50 points.) Not bad for the smallest club in the premiership lol

Aye not bad for a bunch of tossers. Now if us twats can beat Brum too we might start to crawl insignificantly out of trouble. Lots of "winnable" bollocks coming up.

For a while Boro Newcastle and Sunderland looked a good bet for the drop , but i think Boro might just get out of trouble , even though weve been total shit as of late . We were under the lash at the Emirates but we had luck on our side .
As for Portsmouth , im glad for Harry , he should of got the England job . I like him a lot .

Yeah, I like Pompey and Redknapp. I don't begrudge them doing well. James is playing brilliantly, and they're another team that always seem to give full 90 minute performances.

:thumb:

Hmm, looks like Kev's influence and style of football might finally be rubbing off on the players. Some of the attacking playing has been of good style as of late, some good passing and movement and a real threat emerging. Michael Owen looks like a new player. On fire. And the 3 pronged attack of Owen, Viduka and Martins is gelling, surely that's a threesome of strikers no defender wants to see, especially with all of them wanting the ball. Barton starting to wake up too, should be a good player till he gets banged up lol. We should be ok to survive. But it's still a mighty shame that yet again we have nothing to say but that, and of course the old favourite ..."We'll do better next season".

TOON ARMAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! I had a feeling we'd destroy Spurs again, and we did. Haway the lads.

About fucking time.

I mean that with no sarcasm. I think you supporters have been starved of something to cheer about for too long now.

I was on talksport today, by the way, talking about Rovers.

Nice one, what did you say ? :)

Nice one, what did you say ? :)

The topic was if you are a supporter of a team other than Man U, Chelski, The Arse, or Sliverpool, do you really believe your team will break into the top 4 ?

I said that we had had a reverse season this season. Usually we start badly and then have a storming end to the season and end up doing well. This season we started off brilliantly, and were up to 5th at one point. Then Hughes won manager of the month, Santa won player of the month, and it all went pear shaped (with respect to finishing 4th).

I did say some more about the fact that we need a creative midfielder, but I think they'd stopped me talking on air then as they started talking about Rovers and how well Hughes has done on a limited budget, etc., etc. , as though I wasn't talking. So I think that was it, you get limited airtime to get your one point across, and then they mute you and talk about it, and then put someone else on. When the other caller comes on, your call gets disconnected.

As you know from the way I waffle, any sort of airtime is never going to be enough for what I have to say !

Aye, fair dooz. Radio Newcastle seems to give people time to speak a bit more than what yours seems to from your description. But I know what you mean, sometimes they just cut you off after one point has been made.

I did manage to get the point across that we need to shake our voodoo of being the club that clubs who can't buy a point love to play, and that, in that respect, we were lucky to beat Newcastle !

A lot of clubs think they have a god giving right to be in the Premiership , Newcastle United been one of them . Going through managers like Gazza goes through Brown Ale is a clear sign of that . As it seems however , and by not so much luck but an easy run they will probably escape relegation . But i reckon Keegan will do a runner come summer , as he knows the Geordie's will not stand any more humiliation . Been one of the best supported sides in Europe with a track record more akin to Kurdistan fc is enough to make anybody scarper .

Nonsense of the highest order. He won't be here forever but his influence is starting to rub off on the players over the last 2 weeks and I expect it will continue to do so. He'll stick around long enough to see something great happen. Even if that something is just getting us challenging for top 5 or 6 again. He has em playing the football we wanted all along and it'll start to show in the coming games and next season.

But I understand how bitter you Boro lot like to be about it ;) :lol:. I sure wouldn't want Borat as a manager, sadly you are stuck with him.

I will accept 0 - 0. But I wont accept the media going on about 'Arry "turning Newcastle down". We didn't offer him the job, we held talks with about 5 fellas and he was but one of them. Just happened to be one of the higher profile ones who was certain to have been talked to. That's the media for ya, ever ready to stick the knife into the Toon.

Newcastle seem to be on a run . Thats cool .

I wouldn't have begrudged Newcastle the win to be honest. We played ugly football to contain them. A good defensive game might be technically good but it is painful to watch. We got to the FA cup final by doing just that and sometimes it is almost embarrassing when we gift so much possession to the opposition.

Keegan deserves the plaudits though, as he has gotten belief back into the Toon. He is an excellent motivator once people invest in him. That said, Big Sam would have gotten more points by now if he was still there. But Keegan has got Newcastle Playing good football again - entertaining football. That is what the Toon faithful wanted so I guess King Kev is the right man.

The fans up here will only be happy when the team is playing the kind of football we expect of them. That is why they/we would never have got behind Big Sam fully. And without the backing and support of the majority of fans, a manager can never get this club winning consistently. The players get somewhat terrified when they start getting booed for boring football.

Poor Mackems. Ahahahaha :lol: :)
