Big team home or away (preferably away) or lower division team at home. Preference for Newcastle away

You're not but I've seen that poster moaning quite a lot recently about the club. It's a sign that we're doing well in the transfer market that people are turning their attacks on players (see the O'Grady thread).

I can't remember watching a better goal live. Amazing strike.

I didn't think we were that bad. I remember going to Swindon and losing 3-0 in the League Cup two seasons ago with a much stronger team on paper. Swindon were the better team over 90 minutes but we held our own and hit the bar during a really strong spell in the second half. The subs made a...

With all due respect, he's not missed a match yet so clearly you know more than Hyypia!

Sad, isn't it? So called supporters starting threads to slag off a player who has only played four games for us. I'm sure I'll get shouted down but I didn't think he was awful last night. Held the ball up okay and got no service really. As someone else said, also laid the ball off well for...

We probably didn't get all our top targets but we don't know that for a fact. For all we know, the club might have wanted to sign Holla before Clayton (if we were even that interested in him) but Holla had other options to look at first. You're making assumptions to suit your argument. And my...

Yes, they should. It's definitely better to get the wrong players really early than wait for the right ones. We should get 10 players in by early July in future, it doesn't matter who they are!

No. Your argument (quoted from someone else) seems to be that everyone who got bored of people moaning about transfers is a ridiculous optimist. That's a ridiculous argument. Most people on here that I saw were just saying give the club time and see what happens. That seems pretty logical from...

Sorry, that's a ridiculous argument. I think the two sides have been people who've massively over reacted and those who've said wait and see. That's not being ridiculously optimistic. Just common sense. Same as the people who write off players when we sign them and then call people lickers for...

I agree. I think he'll play where Crofts played on Saturday. Didn't suit Crofts really. Think he'll play further back if he's in the team. I still think we'll get a new centre forward to compete with CMS and O'Grady but won't mean the end of CMS. As discussed elsewhere, he suits Hyypia's style.

This is NSC. It's much better to write someone off immediately. Then, if one player fails you can say I told you so while ignoring all the other players who you wrote off as rubbish have done well.

This could go either way. Yes, Hull and/or Burnley have the Premier League. But, there is a very strong possibility that we'll have a first choice right back vacancy come the end of the season so he may well get first team football a lot quicker here. We also have the amazing training...

I think that doesn't contradict what others are saying on here. Bolton weren't unlucky, they just couldn't shoot. They had the best three chances up to their goal in the first half. That they missed the other two is their fault. They really should have tested Stockdale but that is probably why...

Very impressed with Bennett yesterday. Don't understand the struggled defensively comment as I don't think he was tested. Right back position looked much more concerning with both Calde and Bruno struggling a bit defensively. Bennett looked very good going forward though and can only get better...

Holla looks a really good player. Picked the ball up off the back four a lot and has a good range of passing. Could be a real find. The problem with starting LuaLua is he's better off the bench and you need someone who can come on and change the game. If he'd started with LuaLua yesterday and...

In fairness, anyone who chanted that at Hyypia last week was a joke. He was in his third game managing us with a number of injuries and limited options from the bench.

We do. We gave them a free header at a corner, just before the goal from the free kick and every set piece had me worried. I'm just not sure they're going to go for the big man up front (although I might be wrong). Playing Ince in midfield would help too as he would add some height but in...

Fair enough. I don't think there's evidence either way as I don't think he could have saved any of the goals he's conceded (I realise you disagree about yesterday). Let's see what happens. I doubt he'd have got into the England squad if he couldn't make great saves when required.
