I am wondering how much part the relationship between CH and the players has to play in all of this. I tend to reserve judgement on rumours about what is supposedly going on behind the scenes but I do wonder if something significant changed between CH and key team members, potentially over...

There are some differences. Norwich were relegated when CH was sacked. Newcastle have one of the worst owners in the football league and owe everything they achieve to their manager.

I'm not sure there could have been. It was a tough choice and feels disloyal to the man but it would be even worse if he was axed after a shocking run and with a toxic Falmer. Right now we can all say thanks so much and pay tribute to his massive contribution to the club rather than risk...

The honest answer is don't know. The new guy could fail and we end up relegated next season and it will all be "never should have got rid of CH" but, whilst happy in principle for CH to stay, know we would be in all probability looking at another season fighting for survival. I also really...

Whilst I agree that it might have been a bit more palatable to have waited a few days I think there are lots of clubs that would have sacked their manager with 5 or 6 games to go, declining performances and talk of dressing rooms being lost. The reason these events smart is because CH is such a...

Agree that it would have been nice for us to show our appreciation and also agree to have the announcement so quickly was unexpected however, given his achievements and character when would have been a good time? Does TB wait until well into the summer transfer window? Does he wait and see...

Feel desperately sad for CH. He is clearly a gent and has always acted with integrity and decency. If he had any idea about what was coming before the game yesterday then his words and behaviour yesterday would only underscore this. I can't believe there will be anyone who is not eternally...

I disagree. Look at Newcastle, Burnley, Wolves, even Bournemouth. All comfortably safe. Rafa is out of contact at the end of the season as well.. [edit] I would add If we were playing like we were 3 months ago then we would be safe now as well..

You make your own luck at this level. Positive, progressive play that produces chances and goals means you don’t need to rely on officials and their reading of situations like this. If we had been 2-0 up like we might have been had this game taken place 6 months ago then no one would give a...

Whilst I agree with the general principle that we need Stephens to play that midfield rock role and that he usually does that well I thought that we needed to push and press against Huddersfield and that, for me, Stephens was far too cautious yesterday. The pace and progression that was evident...

Just got to say what an utterly, utterly, utterly brilliant credit to the club this man is.

The worst example of click bait for a long time. :laugh:

What Neeson said reveals the deep seated psychological biases all humans are capable of reverting to. The "them and us" mentality that polarises people into "your either with us or against us", no sitting on the fence, camps at the heart of all conflict. What Neeson expressed and did was...

Not condoning the reaction but "fans" really need to learn to exercise some self control. Football wouldn't be football without the pantomime jeering, windups and so on but when things escalate to vitriolic, highly personal abuse then as far as I am concerned it becomes unacceptable.

I think his work for the club after his playing days were over deserves credit. He worked consistently well to build up the profile of the club with businesses both locally and beyond and did what he could to help involve local firms with the club. It's a real shame that his departure is under...

Thank you. Can you let me know when you are around next to moderate any of my future posts please?

So glad you approve. Patronising enough again for you? :wink: :wink: :D :D

I can tell you there are plenty of Christians around who have a pretty fundamental view on everything in the Bible being the inspired word of God. We are lucky that they put the responsibility for the execution of God's kingdom in the hands of Jesus and not themselves. Otherwise Christianity...

I wouldn't fancy the chances of someone caught doing it right now. I suspect there are plenty of people who would gladly argue with the courts after the event. Not that I am advocating vigilante violence but the government need to get a handle on this before we do start to lose any sense of...

And in some places, the equivalent of signing your own death note.
