Can your simple mind understand that our squad is easily in the best 3 of this division? Easily. Hence why we were among the favourites to win/promoted with the bookies and the fact we kept a few top quality players that were expected to leave. Decent managers get the best out of the best players. They don't have one system only and no other plan. Only have to look when Sunderland spanked us. A seasoned experienced manager like mowbray sets his team up depending on who they're playing. Sunderland are shite but he knew how we would play and set his team up with inferior players to beat us. We play one way only and if it doesn't work Martin just comes out and says it takes time and the rest of the bullshit

The championship is shite. We may have struggled last few years but the difference between prem and championship is massive. We have a squad that any half decent, tactically aware manager would get us promoted with ease. Hence why I compare to Southgate and England. Southgate is shite. I wouldn't want him as saints manager. He's been fortunate that he has an unbelievable amount of talent that give him an ok record despite the fact that the attacking players we have is insane. Pace, skill, dribbling yet we play turgid shite. The England squad is not dissimilar to the city squad in terms of quality and pace yet look at the contrast in styles of play. Put it this way if pep was in charge of England we would blow teams away. Southgate in charge of city and he sucks the life out of them

The evidence that teams with good attacking players should play to their strengths and attack. It's not hard to understand. And to say England have been more successful recently than Brazil shows your ignorance

Yeah, despite of Southgate not because of him. Put a decent manager in charge of this England squad over the last 4/5 years and we rip teams apart, not plod through and shit ourselves against any half decent team we play against. It's not cliché it's a thing that when you're clearly better than the opposition you shouldn't shite your pants and play negative,slow, shite football

Yeah when you have the quality of course you attack. Have Brazil been the best footballing nation of all time by winning possession stats or utilising their qualities? Play to your strengths and our strength is clearly not keeping clean sheets so why not play with pace and attack teams? Like I say similar to England our talent and strength is further forward so playing this slow shite is stifling us just like Southgate does. Negative boring shite. Doesn't take a simpleton to work it out. Love the way as well instead of actually having a debate you resort to insults. Shows who the simpleton is

This whole thing seems similar to England and Southgate. Southgate has his supporters because of where England have come in recent tournaments but I think that's in spite of Southgate not because of him. A decent manager and England would have won one of the last 3 tournaments. A squad and starting 11 that should be going all out attack with the quality but instead play Tippy tappy slow shite that gives any team against them a chance. A decent manager with our squad should be blowing most teams out of the water and not be grateful we are still in play off places and scraping draws away to preston

They have a manager that can see how one dimensional we are and target our many and obvious weaknesses and set up and play how they need to depending on opposition, like mowbray couple of weeks ago. We keep getting clueless hipster cunts that have their (shite) way of playing and that's it. I'd take an allardyce or another so called dinosaur all day long. He would easily get this squad promoted. We've got the worst keeper I've ever seen but old Russ has committed to him by his comments a couple of weeks ago so even though he must know by now he's dog shit, I can't see him dropping him. The fish fiddler's call him their secret agent. I believe it because surely a pro keeper cannot be as bad as he is. And McCarthy is as bad. We have the worst keepers in the whole football league I would say

Or just god awful coaching. Who knows? Had some talented players that have started brightly and just had all confidence sapped out of them. Even tadic who was still class for us got some shit. Went to Ajax for pittance and was ripping real Madrid apart in champions League. If we signed him after that everyone would be creaming their pants but he wasn't appreciated here fully. Probably too clever for players around him ditto Ramirez and gabbiadini. Need a manager that knows his shit rather than a one way of playing and that's it kind of guy. Look at tony mowbray. If we had got him there would have been uproar but his experience meant he spent the week knowing exactly how we play and how to pick us apart and he won that game. Our players man for man are better than Sunderland's but we were picked apart by a better prepared inferior team

Martin claiming that if we didn't already have bazunu he would be somebody he would want to sign could prove to be his downfall. Defense hopefully will improve but having a reliable keeper gives defence more confidence and visa versa. At the moment we have suspect defence with a keeper behind them that doesn't make any saves, recipe for disaster. Forster looked class when he had fonte and alderweireld in front of him and in turn they were more solid because they had a brick wall in wanyama and schneiderlin sat in front of them. Confidence breeds confidence if everyone trusts each other they know they can play and the odd mistake will be picked up and sorted by someone else. Haven't had that for years there's been too many weak links/bottlers/billy big bollocks

Don't know why anybody in this day and age is paying through the roof for sky,bt etc. Only get handle of games when there's countless IPTV providers . Tenner a month and get every game going not to mention all the boxing ppvs and everything else. Can get them dirt cheap if you pay for a year but I prefer to pay monthly and if they get any issues just go to another one. Only on about 3rd one in 7/8 years so they're pretty reliable. Some of these overhyped boxing events are pushing 30 ppv that's 3 months of IPTV money covered in a night

I maybe wrong but the first time I remember seeing him play for first team was wolves away as a sub which was the 6th game. Like I say my memory may have failed me but I remember him coming off bench and looking lively

Don't know what Southgate has against foden. If he was any other nationality he plays every game. And he sits on the bench while his city team mates who normally sit on the bench week in start. And he's in incredible form. I'm not in any way a southgate fan I think his record looks better because of past failings but a decent manager would have won at least one of the last big tournaments easily. Saka and foden feeding kane should be unstoppable

And has there ever been a player as frustrating as Adams? Literally every goal he scores is a worldie yet misses every single easy chance he gets. It's mad

Or just seen the footage of the shit our mongo fans gave pelle 1 game into his saints career. What we would do now for another pelle/Lambert/beattie. Le tissier and ekelund for the few games he managed was a beautiful partnership. Beattie and pahars and the most recent was pelle and tadic. And even tadic got some shit. He was ways class but left and proved he was held back by inferior players around him. Now we have edozie/Armstrong/elyounoussi/aribo "creating". It's so depressing we should have either won something or at least qualified for champions league in those golden years mid 2010's

Niemi made Claus and killer absolute monsters. Doubt they would have looked half as solid if bazunu or McCarthy were behind them

And why did we sign orsic from zagreb to sit on the bench when we could have had their keeper livakovic for a similar fee? Unbelievable nobody has picked him up after the world cup and what a difference it would make to the confidence in the side knowing there's a keeper that will stop some shots going in the net. Bazunu should have been pulled a while ago. If we had Leno at Fulham or Martinez at villa and either of them have bazunu we automatically swap positions. They win their team points not lose them. We have some good defenders that have no confidence because any fuck up they do results in a goal

The second half was better because we weren't playing 5 at the back. We are awful playing that formation and any numpty should know that so why Jones thought that was a good idea is beyond me. We made them look stupidly good the first half minutes not because they are that good but because we were atrocious. Lavia should start every game . Dont get the theory he's young and should be protected. He's young and fit and clearly one of our best players so use him as much as we can before he fucks off to bigger and better things. If Armstrong rounds the keeper like he should have done at 2-1 off of a great ball that no other player we have would have played their arses would have gone and I would have fancied our chances of nicking something. And lyanco, all he had was his beard and being the hard cunt of our team of pussies. Now he's shaved it all he has left is his ability which is very limited. Imagine being dcc and having bednarek and lyanco starting in front of you. We should be playing 2 centre backs from dcc, abk and salisu. lyanco and bednarek as last options. And I don't get why perraud isn't an automatic starter. Not saying he's amazing but as our only left back and can't remember him letting us down why wouldn't he start every game? Gives us a better shape and releases an actual class player in kwp to play his best position. Yeah he does ok left back but he's great at right back. A team like ours need to play to our strengths and we aren't doing it

They claim they're poor but you don't get guts like that without investment

The only sympathy should have been to edozie who was lucky his ankle wasn't snapped in two. It was a disgusting challenge and imo intentional. The fact the whole of their team surrounded the ref after sums them up as a whole. A grotty little club that's too big for their boots at the moment

But they love a player that scores loads of goals so they're special 🤢

Didn't the defence of the red card annoy you? McCoist saying it was a genuine challenge and unlucky? Bollocks he left his foot in as long as he could the little rat. Could easily have snapped edozies leg

Fuck this, fuck the bias commentary, fuck the Newcastle wank fest and the Newcastle fan wank fest. Their fans are the same as any other. They're loud when on top and shit when team shit. They don't love football as a city more than any other town or city and the "they love a number 9" shite is cringy. They don't spend their last pennies on watching their beloved team more than any other fucking teams fans. They've spent a fuck load of Arabian blood money that if Sunderland had done it they'd be pulling them apart saying they're an oil run club. And the 30 stone fucks with their shirts off in winter that the cameras always have to show because they're 'mad and great fans '. Fuck off they've got 5 inches thick of gristle of course they don't need a fucking coat. Why are these messes celebrated. I bet they sit on their fat arses all week buying tickets handouts. Fuck the prem, fuck sky, I'd rather get relegated so I don't have to listen to as much of this shite all the time

It was unbelievable. I think one of the bell ends commentating said djenepo probably has whiplash but it was just a competitive challenge. Fuck me he pole axed him and not even a free kick. Hate the prem refs, hate the corruption bring on relegation so I don't get the anger evey week. Not just about losing but the way it happens. Can't these pricks go back to their euro super League idea and fuck off? Take the refs with them not one would be missed

People slagging off perraud like he shouldn't be anywhere near our team🙄. He's our only real left back and give him a bit of slack our best games have been with him in the side. Was looking forward to seeing orsic start tonight but when he's got salisu behind him at left back offering no threat of going forward he is bound to be isolated. We have proved in the past you don't have to have the best players just players that link well make the world of difference. Remember chrissy Marsden football genius played out of his skin on the left with bridge not because he was an actual genius it was because they worked well together. But saying that over the years we have had some quality strikers that we've not had since pelle and he got some shit. But we have all seen enough of Adams. I don't hate him but he's not a striker. Almost think he would be better as a holding midfielder. Bit of muscle in the middle of pitch, win the ball and give it to somebody who can actually kick a football
