Newcastle V Saints - Match Thread

Pelligrino, what a bastard.

I blame Eric Black.

Why not Dennis Rofe?

Don't worry, we are growing as a side.

"......and with good spirit"

45 minutes. They've shown nothing. Nothing at all. This isn't wholly down to the players, but yes, they've been sh1te considering they're professionals.

Despite them being inept, this comes from the top, the supposed leaders. Abysmal stuff. Nothing ever changes. Ever.

As for Reed, Pellegrino. F()CK OFF. PLEASE. NOW. PLEASE.

Things have certainly improved since Eric Black left......

Almost four years to the day we humiliated Newcastle 4-0? at St Mary's where every player it seemed was ,"He's off to Brazil".....how times have changed.

Can't believe we've not used subs yet to at least bring on Sims and change formation this guy is utterly clueless, what is the point in playing 1up chasing a 2-0 deficit???? it's mind boggling

But we're now set up to defend a 2-0 deficit.

Don't you understand ? If we attack we might lose by 3 or 4. If a draw is as good as a win then a 1or2-0 away defeat is as agood as a point.

Live on BBC1, we need banners with Les Reed Out on them. The board have got off lightly, they won’t like being embarrassed on national TV.

Stream's broken. I feel like I've been spared.

...

You do realise that it's the board and Les' fault right? Jesus our fans are shortsighted.

Sack the bastardy bastard

No fight, no tactics. Going down and our board doing **** all about it.

I actually hate Pellegrino, the selfish ****. If he had an ounce of credibility he'd have resigned months ago. Single handedly ruining this club along with the utter weapons that run us.

1600 of us up here and it's absolutely pathetically diabolical. Going down bottom.

Our worst performance for three years. We are down now, so he needs to be sacked tonight as this is unacceptable. It really doesn't matter who comes in for the last few games. And if Les doesnt do it then he needs to go too. Massive rebuilding job to do now in the Championship

Bring back Adkins to save us.

What can we do? This is so pathetic.

Just got in. This sounds worse than ever. I said that the team don't have the stomach for a relegation fight. Hate to be proved right.

May as well sack him and make Kenzie Benali manager, save on wages

F**k off Garry Birtles

F**k off Cedric

F**k off Tadic

F**k off Led Reed

F**k off Freddie Krueger

F**k F**k off MoPo!!

If we don't bring on another striker I shall scream !

I’m sure Pellegrino is very motivated to change it knowing he’ll be sacked at the end of the season anyway. What a shambles

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

This. I don't blam Pellegrino anymore. He can't help being out of his depth. The ire should be driven at Reed. Why hasn't he sacked him!

Our season in a nutshell. Tadic decides to take a dive instead of head down and whip in a cross.

When up against it, some players work harder, give it everything, work to correct the errors, and then there is Tadic and Boufal that blame everyone else, give up, and sulk like toddlers.

I've been trying to avoid the constant negativity and find the positives but this has been utter w*nk!

No urgency, no movement ... I know our confidence is shot but every time we play the safe pass and give Newcastle a chance to organise. The rare glimpses we have upped the tempo and committed men we have looked something approaching dangerous.

We may as well go for it second half. Sims must come on, looked fearless last time out, we need more of that. May as well get Gabbi up and around Carillo to. 2-0 or 5-0 is irrelevant, we need goals, points and a bit of hope.

Overwhelming sinking feeling today, if we stay up it will be more down to three other teams being more woeful.

Yet again a classic example of 'Crab Football' more possession,no attacks,one up front and he's not being fed. What do you expect from this utterly incompetent buffoon.Why wasn't he sacked before Christmas? This team is ineffective under his directives. Championship must now be on the horizon.

as it stands now we are 4 points away from newcastle and it could get worse for us if palarse and stroke get results then we really are looking doomed.

Just fu** off u useless cu*** absolutely abysmal

Worst I've seen us. Depressing.

MOPO IS A BASTARD OF BASTARD SIZED PROPORTIONS

In all seriousness, we have to keep the goal difference down now

Don't think we could be that lucky could we ?

Needs to go 2 up front second half and try to get something...

I've just checked in. So to summarise, it's going pretty well then?

looks like 20million spent in january was worth it dosent it?.................told you all bang average young charlie autistic..................who btw is still our top goalscorer....crazy aint it and bloody frustrating.

I have nothing to offer at half time other than to say Einstein did not say this. It is a misattributed quote.

MOPO IS A BASTARD OF BASTARD SIZED PROPORTIONS

AND REED MUST BE A C^NT FOR EMPLOYING HIM, AND THEN NOT SACKING THE BASTARD

Just got in. This sounds worse than ever. I said that the team don't have the stomach for a relegation fight. Hate to be proved right.

But it's not that. Just ponder our front four...Carillo, Tadic, Ward-Prowse and Redmond on the left side!!!! That's the problem; and we've seen it before and it results in the same slow, static build ups and huge let downs.

We have 2 weeks before WHU. We should dump MP tomorrow, giving Silva 2 weeks to settle in. Get Austin back so we have some punch upfront, change the formation getting Gabbi, Austin, and other attackers on the pitch at the same time (3-5-2, 3-3-4?). Sims plays, Boufal plays, attack attack.

The players gave up after 90 seconds.

Les Reed's legacy.

Pelligrino, what a bastard.

My thoughts entirely ... I just give up , the problems are so clear to anyone but our clown of a manager. It is so frustrating. I am trying to get numb to it all as it hurts less. Will still be a season ticket holder next year but this was all so avoidable.

My god we have been depressing to watch for two whole seasons now. not just an average team, not just bad at football, but actually depressing. I was not this depressed watching Saints in 2005, I was still very much entertained. These last two clowns we've had in charge have really ruined my every Saturday for the last 24 months. F*ck.

Very much this. We at least got some exciting games in 2005. Les and Ralph have let these last two clowns squeeze the life out of previously decent players with their negative tactics.

Very depressing.

I thought we were told that there were worse teams than us.

Well I don’t ****ing think so

Do you think that Silva will come here? I don’t.

Was expecting defeat today, but maybe just 1-0 from a free header on 65 minutes. The level of ineptitude today has been staggering.

No fight.

Passing errors.

Crossing right to keeper.

Missing marking assignments.

Slow to react.

No invention.

No drive.

No idea.

They’ve given up.

Now why would Silva join us? There was a slim chance when he was sacked. Not now.

Well I don’t ****ing think so

There were, but they changed their managers and improved.

I feel really really sorry for the Saints supporters that journeyed all the way up to Newcastle to watch that first half in person.

This. I don't blam Pellegrino anymore. He can't help being out of his depth. The ire should be driven at Reed. Why hasn't he sacked him!

Totally agree with this...Although Pellegrino could have done the right thing and walked away, months ago.
