Not signing anyone in January so.

I give up ... call me when Ashley has sold up or when we buy players who want to be at the club for the betterment the club, not their transfer prospects! :mad:!!

My 5 1/2 year old is mad about newcastle now ... regret ever dragging him into it ...

Adam Armstrong load deal extended. Baffling decision.

Vurnon San Benito

The right though IMO. He's as well to continue playing regular first team football and improving as a footballer rather than come back to sit on the NUFC bench and watch Riviere come on before him.

Not too disappointed with this in truth. He needs regular football and is doing well thus far.

Hopefully it'll stand to him for next season and beyond.

I understand that argument alright, that said with the squad being light up top and the fact we are struggling for goals I'd be willing to try anything to avert relegation.

That_Guy

Two CAM's playing out wide....

Colback and Tiote starting again....

Dummett yet again at LB...

Ah yeah, let's invite tons of fúcking pressure yet again while offering nothing going forward whatsoever.

This is going to be ugly

Moneymaker

Mitrovic, big target man who thrives on crosses.

I know I won't play any wingers to cross the ball in. They'll never expect that!

Seems legit.

M5

Same team trotted out despite poor performances. The squad is too small, no competition, no players fighting for their places. The culture of rewarding failure continues at NUFC

That_Guy

I just don't understand how McClaren can still play the same fúcking system/players and think something is going to work?

We've been utterly dreadful lately and this is going to be a bloodbath.

Few quid on Giroud first goalscorer. If I have to endure, I may as well try and make a bit of cash on it.

Tomagotchye

I was looking at our squad on Yahoo last night. They have some stats. According to them - Janmatt has more passes in our team completed then any other player.

Midfield is useless.

cadete

i dont want the same players being picked what else can we do? we dont have a squad, we have 6 decent players 5 that will have to do and nothing else! personally i want to see sissoko deep midfield and thauvin on the park, drop tiote hes just a disaster waining to happen, dummett can gtf put mbabu in there,

in fairness were doin alright. but gonna get nothing from the ref, how chamberlin not been booked i will never know but typical against us i guess

That_Guy

So Colback gets a yellow for his first foul yet Oxlaide-Chamberlain can persistently foul without any sort of punishment. Fúcking refs man.

That_Guy

Ah Mitro!! In fairness, I don't know why Gini wasn't busting his hole to get further in front.

Moneymaker

Chamberlain getting the Cattermole treatment, allowed to do what he likes with no fear of punishment. Joke.

That_Guy

First 5 minutes aside, I can't complain with that showing thus far. We've passed it around nicely. With a bit more urgency, we could take this game. Just need to have a bit of belief.

cadete

good first half, defended ok, last 15/20 looked really good kept possession well looked good going forward at times, not sure why but always in the big games we seem to perform

Moneymaker

Wijnaldum has been good and Perez has worked his socks off.

cadete

armstrong first half hattrick aswell!

That_Guy

Best chance of the game... Christ.

That_Guy

How have we not scored?? Unbelievable.

newcastle on the attack freekick to arsenal, freekick for literally nothing!

That_Guy

Now ref blows up for a "foul" despite two Arsenal players coming together in their own box. Pathetic.

cadete

wenger crying at the ref.... we will concede a peno or have someone sent off such is the standard of taylor

That_Guy

Don't know what Wenger is complaining about.

Any chance of Newcastle scoring? Doing well so far

Every chance but haven't created much in last 5 mins or so.

Have to say, Gigi is immense in this position. Can never be played out on the wing ever again!!

That_Guy

Sickening.

Ah yea, we don't take our chances, switch off at the corner and that's it over

A worrying trend that has plagued the club for years now.

Moneymaker

Miss sitters, concede. It's the Newcastle way.

That_Guy

We need a proven finisher ASAP. I like Mitrovic but we can't put all of our stock into a 21 year old who hasn't played in this division before.

Any chance of getting Remy back this month I wonder? Chelsea would be short of strikers without him but you'd imagine they'll be signing one this window given their form. He'd be a good signing to tide the club over until the summer at the very least, and he was scoring for fun last time he was at the club.

That_Guy

Ramsey handballs, bounces off his arm to Mbemba's hand who gets penalised for it. Pathetic ref.

Moneymaker

It's every referee in every game now.

That_Guy

We deserved something from that game. Very worrying for our survival hopes too.

How we can put up a performance like that and struggle at home to Villa is beyond me.

Mbemba got penalised for putting his hand on the ball before the ref blew any sort of whistle. Brainless.

Ref was **** for both teams really, but ye played very well. Keep that up and you'll stay up.

And Swansea, West Ham, Watford, Leicester, Sunderland, Stoke, etc etc etc.

cson

Impressive stuff & you deserved a point at the very least from that game. You'd worry though that it takes the sight of an Arsenal/Chelsea/Liverpool etc shirt to produce it all the same.

Probably assumed the game was on TV and conceded as soon as they realised it wasn't. The 3 o'clock curse strikes again for Newcastle.

I'm fairly confident Newcastle will be playing in the Premier League next season, and I don't even expect as close of a call as last season, if the players make an effort like they did against Chelsea (first half anyways) and Liverpool it should be settled long before the final day of the season.

Ref was a joke in that game. Not sure of any agenda though, he gave us plenty of soft frees.

Another loss snatched from the jaws of victory.

that referee is poor and it doesnt matter who he is in charge of, possibly the worst ref in the league, but if there are no consequences for the performances he puts in sure he can do what he likes.
some very soft frees today a few given to arsenal for literally nothing! wijnaldum one being a prime example, the 2 arsenal lads clashing in the box with eachother being another,

Not his fault we missed a couple of great opportunities but we need to get in the refs face more, you could see the arsenal players and wenger all over taylor for everything in the second half and it does get a response, they get decisions, our lads just dont give a **** really, just get the game over

Moneymaker

We just cannot score a bloody goal.

Chance after chance. We can't keep missing them can we?

Lahinchians

Have to say you guys were the better side today. Though finding the back of the net seems to be a proper issue. Based solely on today's performance I hope ye don't go down.
