taxi for the whole newcastle team please

At 3-1 the anger subsided and it just became funny. I'd hate to be Roeder right now, can't wait to hear what he comes out with after that pathetic all round display. Another performance like that against West Ham this week and I won't be so forgiving.

Desperate from the Magpies but to give the team a break they are down to the bare bones and the league really is what matters given the injury list they sport. Brum looked pretty good or was it just the opposition?

Mike.

What I don't understand is every football fan could tell Newcastle desperatly needed defenders in the summer but none were signed. Their defence for the first goal was an absolute shambles. Not one of them is capable of leading the line and organising and that's the most important thing in a defence.

btw - The Newcastle players, and Martins in particular were a disgrace tonight ignoring O'Brien. It doesn't matter how poor a player he is that was a terrible thing to do to a young guy. It seemed the only players trying to pass to him were his mates that came through the ranks with him (Carroll and one of the defenders).

Shocking stuff from Newcastle.....Never threatened. Birmingham were impressive though

I missed it probably cos I was distracted here. Anyway I hate having a go at the young players but I said on a Newcastle site earlier that playing Pattison on the left is like playing 10 men. Maybe I'm mistaken but he doesn't look like a footballer at all to me. It's not his fault he's just not up to the standard I just want to know what exactly Roeder sees in him that he persists in playing the guy, out of position as well. With Taylor getting sent off we were effectively playing with 9 men. O' Brian from what I hear is all pace no footballing ability. It must be weird for guys like Martins and Dyer playing in a Premiership team alongside these no-hopers.

Taylor is or will be but he's only 20 and has been playing out of his skin for the last two months. McClaren has been to see him almost every game and an England call up soon is inevitable. I have no doubt that Taylor would be absolutely awesome alongside someone like Woodgate, King, Terry or Ferdinand.

Only 27,641 at White Heart Lane the other night

Shocking, regardless of the opposition

(and it wasn't even being shown on national television)

:rolleyes:

*yawn*

Capacity @ WHL 36,214
Attendance 27,641
% bums on seats 76.33%
Ticket prices £27-£42 (OAP and child concessions @ £14-£16)

On police advice, Spurs kept three blocks of seats in the Park Lane stand empty for segregation purposes from Cardiff, which would have brought capacity down to under 35k.

You were what, 50% full? Its not as if you have loads of cup games to look forward to..

You're practically critisising the Newcastle fans for having a bigger stadium than you lot, as well as voting with their feet. Ludicrous imo. Fact is, you only had an extra 1600 or so fans turn out for a 3rd round cup game against Championship opposition, same as us. Had our game not been on national television the attendance at St. James' would have certainly been greater. Personally I'm happy to see only 26,000 people get ripped off that night, instead of a potential 52,000. I only take issue with people in glass houses throwing stones, so I smashed my own house to make the point.

P.S.

We may not have many more to look forward to but Newcastle have played more cup games this season than any other Premiership side, and the fans have dug deep.

Perfectly reasonable imo. You have a bigger stadium because you have more demand for tickets. You've an average of what, 48k at your league games? You probably have more ST holders than the crowd on Wednesday night.

I see you'd close to full houses for the ManYoo draw and the win over us, does your crowd support Newcastle or the visiting sides?

Really? Aren't Spurs looking to build a new stadium, or is that for location purposes only?

The demand for tickets has clearly gone down though, unsurprisingly given the way the club has been run since Sir Bobby was sacked, and even prior to that.

No different to any other club really, people are starting to pick and choose their games and there's an element of the prawn eating sandwich brigade there too.

Is there a special reason why approximately 8,000 Spurs fans decided to stay home on Wednesday night? Or are they too sh1t fans?

As one of the 8,000 I can certainly speak for myself. I wasn't there because I couldn't get two days off work at short notice. In addition, I've already committed to our home leg of the Carling semis and had hoped to be at the away leg, so two sets of flights (+ the unused return flight I ended up saddled with as a result of the 2nd leg happening on the 31st rather than the 30th as originally annunced due to televised FA Cup committments) plus two nights hotel, on top of Xmas/car insurance/house insurance/house management fees/new lock on front door/new tyre for car/towing fee to garage/garage fee for checking why my car wouldn't start, and assorted sundries have let me with not a pot to piss in.

Many will have avoided the game due to its proximity to the Carling Cup semis (home tie priced at between £39-£71) and an away trip to Feyenoord.

Many will have avoided the game due to the high probablity of crowd trouble, particularly those who travel with kids. The last time Cardiff visited N17 they wrecked the High Road (though it was hard to tell the difference ) Read my thread after the game in Cardiff for a few pointers.

And many will have just decided it wasn't a big enough game to bother with. They're the sh1t fans.

Still a good turnout. IMHO.

18,000 was the attendance at 2 of Celtic's home cup matches this season. One of the matches wasn't televised and was at 3.00 on a Saturday. Ticket prices were £15. That's a disgrace, I wouldn't worry about Spurs'.

Also, Celtic v St.Mirren was free for those with a season ticket and only got 32,000.
