  1. We ain't never getting top 6 with decisions like this happening weekly. How anyone can attempt to explain it away is ridiculous and shows a complete disregard to fair play, regardless of who it affects directly, Forest, Leeds , Brighton or us. The officials are crooked.
  2. Its was a guilt edged penalty, have the refs explained wtf happened and why it wasn't given? Arsenal had one against West Ham ,saka missed it, that was the same type of thing. These types of decisions are going to destroy the game we all love unless something is done about them, it's happening every week and it's benefitting the same teams.
  3. I have a feeling Brentford will sit back and try and hit us on the break, if they press us they risk us getting behind them and running rampant. We tend to struggle with teams that do this.
  4. His shooting was great....... best thing he did for me was the header back to Ramsey for the first goal, unbelievable assist.
  5. They badly miss a forward and Davies would have been useful from what I saw of them against Manure.
  6. Think it gets the fans behind the team from the off, first few attacks and Holte on its feet and shouting encouragement at the players. The rest of the ground follows. The noise second half was immense, watched the replay today and the commentary was struggling to be heard. Keep playing like this and the ground could double in size and still fill it.
  7. Hope he keeps em up, wish we could loan em Aaron and Archer to help.
  8. Might be us or them, great team though, could be like a cup final for us when we play them.

    Unai Emery

    We need to take a sample of his DNA and clone him, this way we can always benefit from his beauty. Joking apart, Purslow and Co need to look at what he has done and try and line up a list of managers who have similar styles. Watched the Brighton game today and they are very similar to us tactically, Emery is the master but we need to look forward and build on him while we have him. He needs options from the bench and we need options for when he goes. I can't bare the thought of him leaving and us having to spin the wheel of misfortune to get another manager, we need a plan that outlasts this beautiful creature, Emery.
  10. Liverpool were the current champions so I would say no, Newcastle have achieved nothing yet.....if it doesn't cost us then I hope they get top 4
  11. Howe should have changed the game earlier today, it was obvious what he tried wasn't working and he needed a plan B. Is he good enough to get them top 4? I'm not so sure, I think they maybe a 1 trick pony.
  12. Jesus, reading their forum and they think the ref was harsh on them, some of the unpunished tackles they got in first half, the one on Ramsey when he needed treatment was a blatant yellow card. Buendia was body checked in the face , unpunished. If they try that trick against any 'top 6 teams' they will be playing with 10 men.
  13. Brighton are setup just like we are, play the ball out of the back nicely and find space behind the press. Hope Chelsea can beat them but I doubt it.
  14. I'm speechless at how good we were today, the improvement Emery has made is unprecedented in the premier league, isnt it? Could easily have been 5-0 today, Howe had no way to change it, they needed to from the first minute they looked lost once their high press failed to panic us into giving away possession. We found the midfield or the full backs with an out ball that made them vulnerable at the back, we had some great phases of play. Are Newcastle that good? I don't think they are tbh, they have just made the most of the poor form of other teams in the top 6. Or maybe we are just a better team? Can't think of one Newcastle player who would make our first 11. Ps Watkins is unplayable when he's on that form , gave the Newcastle defence a right battering, they looked scared.
  15. I think he maybe ready. Looks certain borough will get in the play offs and with the type of form him and Ramsey are in I can see them getting borough promoted. Big decisions will have to be made.
  16. The damage is done tbh, no matter what they do the markets have no confidence in them and that's why the rate at which we can borrow (the government) has more than doubled. The tories main strength has been their handling of the economy, not anymore, they have lost that and it should be pointed out to the public just how disastrous those 6 weeks have been. They should be brought to task over them picking Truss to ruin our country, if they get elected who will they pick next, MOG , Boris again, Give Truss another swing at her suicide economics? These are questions that should be asked of the prime minister, he can't answer them, he would divide his party in trying. The NHS is obviously a mess but its a muddy mess with no staff and low pay , they can and have dodged that bullet. That's not to say it can't be used as another area of weakness. The police are a mess but it's the met thats grabbing the headlines, basically how they have mismanaged the money they have been given.
  17. Starmer needs to concentrate on what the Tories have done to the economy. We still hear about Brown's gold fiasco now, Truss should be pulled over the coals, who voted for her in the Tories, who agreed with her policies are the awkward questions that should be asked. Letting them set the agenda with boats and such crap is damaging. Every refugee could be given a million pound and it still wouldn't be as expensive as Truss and her mental blip.
  18. Newcastle have a thread all on there very own (you can discuss the owners on their) , this thread is a discussion on the game and how we are going to beat them on Saturday.
  19. Not sure what that's got to do with this game and none of us have any power over who owns us and that's the sad reality of it all, not voting the tories would help a bit. Saturday 11 v 11, let's do em.
  20. Looking for some decent content for a blog or forum. Looking forward to playing em, they have done well and look likely to break the top 4 monopoly this season, if they can beat us. If we beat them then we both look to break the top 6 monopoly, happy days all round.
  21. We will play out from the back and try and draw you out. We have not really converted from the good positions we are getting in once we get behind the oppositions midfield using this tactic. Sooner or later it will click and we will score a hat full.... Can't see how Pope is better than Martinez in anyone but a Newcastle fans eyes. Watkins and Wilson, Wilson has played half the amount time, due to injury? Watkins has far more to his game than scoring goals, hopefully you will see it Saturday. Watkins all day long for me, even Southgate agrees
  22. The amount of chances we have crested around the box that have come to nothing because of the wrong ball or a mistimed pass must be huge. Against Leicester we cut them to ribbons for 15 minutes without scoring or even getting a shot on target. Bailey and Watkins have missed chances..... I have watched all our games, for full 90 minutes and we have deserved all we have got. The one that got away ,for me, was Arsenal at home. They scored an offside goal and we went gung ho to try and make up for the injustice of it all and ended up losing 4-2. You don't need stats if you watch the games in full..
