Steel City Saint

I'm ashamed to admit I'm the same. It's been glory, glory, glory since!!!!

Last three managers: Pardew - I think we were all a bit surprised that he came to us at that time but he took us forward before 'leaving' suddenly to be replaced by... Adkins - A surprise appointment which underwhelmed many of us but he took us up to the Premiership before 'leaving' suddenly to be replaced by... Pochettino - A surprise appointment which underwhelmed and annoyed in equal measure but who took us forward before leaving suddenly to be replaced by... ??? - Here's hoping the trend continues!

Lallana making sure the club don't have to turn any offers down in the summer by being a bit ordinary.

Adam HAS changed since he played for England...getting better and better!

I'm resigned to a draw but at least we shouldn't lose from here.

Lovren looks fed up. Must wonder what chance he has with this lot for company.

We look ready for a counter attack sucker punch.

Where has our high tempo pressing game gone recently? Far too slow going forward and loose balls being picked up by the opposition when it used to be us.

Stress fracture...needed proper rest and getting back slowly. Shouldn't be a long term issue.

Was I the only one worried when the ref made Newcastle pass the ball back to Gazza from five yards! Heart in mouth.

Problem is...we nick it and Lawero's prediction is correct!

Not so much tipped us to win, more tipped Newcastle to lose! Odd, it sounds just like when he predicts us to lose...'Doing really well; beating strong teams...therefore I'll tip them to lose!!'

Still time to win it! Stay positive!!!

We seem to have lost our early season positivity going forward. Players seem to stop and look around then pass backward rather than driving further forward. Maybe the couple of losses has made them feel vulnerable and nervous.

Difference between class and willingness to run showed in the end. Really want Osvaldo to do well but he is spending too much time on the ball and slowing our attacks down, whereas Ricky is much quicker to flick it through to the runner from midfield/fullback.

Job done. Crazy days indeed.

So...does Osvaldo get back in up front after that?

Can ANYONE explain why Guly gets so many late appearances?

Cortese will be looking for (another) striker for January or summer at the latest. If he's serious about the Champions League that's the area we fall shortest. With the attention and praise we're getting, attracting someone should be that bit easier than over the summer.

We need Guly on. I know it's earlier than his contract says but I'm sure he'd make all the difference!

Need to see a urologist?

Time for Fox to get a third...

Get In!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, not quite. The season ticket etc means a contract has been created and so there is now a legal basis for the OPs presence at the stadium. If the club now break that contract they have to have good reason and evidence so there is room for a challenge. I would suggest, however, rather than going on the offensive, ask the club for an explanation because you are confused and point out that whilst you may have technically erred, it was accidental and ultimately harmless. Much easier to be hard line with someone being aggressive and asserting their rights than with someone being polite and apologetic.

Ahhhhh child!
