By the way he is 24 next month and he's an international. The development squad statements are ridiculous.

If he's on only £1000 a week we have spent approx £16,000 in wages for 4 months of nothing with no signs of anything changing. I suspect he would be on more.

One of the reasons why this squads wages are at record levels. So far has been a complete waste of resources. Does he actually exist - i don't recall actually seeing him yet.

We can control the number of players we have contracted on high wages though. For example Ankergran looks a waste of wages to me (given the Al-Habsi situation). I would also argue that its a waste of wages having a player like McCourt unless he is a regular starter. In summary - more quality -...

Yes but as you previously stated, with proper full backs we need width in midfield. Even if we accept Lua Lua as a 90 minute winger, we have no other fit wingers that we actually own. At one point we had Lua Lua, Noone, Buckley and Vicente all competing for the wide spots and being paid less to...

The whole Bloom interview looks problematic to me. He has obviously backed himself into a corner and at the same time undermined his football credentials by making claims about the squad and quality of football that clearly aren't true. Add to that the startling revelation that this is the most...

My tickets arrived today.

Voted for Walton on the basis that its the sort of cock up that sums the club up at the moment and also because he is the least likely to already have a high performance sports car so would appreciate it the most.

Bets are not a valid contract and bookies don't have to pay out on any bet (i think they are debts of honour). They do of course to protect their reputation.

I pretty much agree with this. I would add that he is not a strong tackler (like Bridcutt for example) or any good in the air (like Bridcutt who is a similar size). He lacks pace which leads him to commit fouls when trying to regain / retain possession. Specifically today he was not making...

Agree -Ince had a good game and deserves a run. Baldock and Gardiner both looked a bit more mobile than recently as well.

This is along the lines of - you don't know enough about football and hence can't see what he is doing. Lets accept that you are correct. Please could you explain exactly which aspects of JFC's game were good today.

We have moved backwards in every aspect of our play compared to the last two seasons. Some of that is due to the quality of our players and some is down to poor organisation and decisions on the pitch by the "management". We can't afford the 2 or 3 seasons it would take for Hypia to improve. We...

He said in his interview after the game that he believes he is improving every game. He must think he is starting from a very low level in that case.

We are moving backwards fast. OK we won but that was one of the worst performances I have seen from us at the Amex, We had very little possession and when we did get it we often resorted to hoofball. Only positive for me was Walton.

If Sami wants to push the full backs that far forward, (which I have no problem with) we need to play three at the back. So I would go Dunk, Greer and Hughes / Ince as the back three (possibly favouring Ince as he has the pace - and the passing ability. You could then go with Bruno and Bennett...

From the Newcastle Independent Site - we had a striker on trial but two sent off. Reserves on top Newcastle U21s 3 Brighton U21s 1 Peter Beardsley's side extended their unbeaten run this season to five games on Monday, as they regained first place in the table by beating basement side...

Baldock is here to make CMS and COG look good.

Bring back Dick!!!!

Am looking forward to the game as missed last two home games due to holiday and then we had the international break. However, in football your momentum is either upwards or downwards. We have had 4 or 5 years moving upwards and period has definitely ended.
