Newcastle

Bad result last night but I urge (not that my, or anybody's voice here will make any difference) the Toon not to ditch Big Sam.

Sam clearly has a plan which will take a period of time to bed in. They are in mid table with zero chance of relegation. Yes, he has bought questionably but he inherited a dodgy squad dominated by the Owen problem.

The Owen presence hangs over the club and until he is gone Newcastle will not be able to break free of his influence.

According to what I have read, Sam has said he is overhauling the entire club and that simply takes time. The worst thing Toon could do is to ditch him and to bring in Shearer.

I have jumped about my living room many times when Shearer scored goals and he was truly class but as a coach of a squad like that ?

Only in Newcastle would this be seriously contemplated

Is there really a need to open such a narrowly focused thread?

I remember watching England being taught a footballing lesson off Croatia a couple of months ago. All the lads are pulling their hair out in the studio at half time. Cue Gary Lineker asking Shearer "Well Alan, what do we need to change?". Shearer comes out with this priceless gem....

"Eh well I think we just need to get stuck into them".

Fascinating insight there Alan...

Its unbelievable how such a big club with a great deal of potential on and off the pitch has so little success to its name. There are some quality players at that club but no matter who seems to be in charge, they just cant get it to come together - a bit like spurs in a way.

Mid table is all Newcastle deserve. Geez the amount of newspaper columns written about the toon army/Big Sam you'd think they were a candidate for relegation. They change their managers around as often as spurs and one day it might click for em that stability is the key to achieving success on the field.

big sam is a goner, sad to see but the money in football creates a pressure that means it is instant success or immediate sacking, sad really

Newcastle fans = bonkers
Allardyce = wan... never mind

it is hard to see him survive in fairness. his next few games are:

stoke (who are pushing for promotion at the top of the championship) away in the cup. have to favour stoke here but even if Newcastle win it is a stay of exectuion as next up is....

man utd (a) in the league.... a home banker i'd say. however this is followed by

Bolton (h) - this may be his only chance to keep his job, especially if anelka leaves.... but then

Arsenal (a) and Newcastle NEVER do well in london!!!!

Hope he gets sacked and washes up at yet another bog standard club where he can work his 'magic' by hoofing balls into the sky. Complete tosser that he is

Sad to hear alimerick supporter talk like that, specially when sam has the best of things to say about limerick,stiil ye meet his criteria so he may end up with ye

one thing you have to say it shows how bonkers the press get in england they are slating him now, a couple of months ago he was a strong candidate in their eyes for the england job:rolleyes:

The Newcastle supporters at home to Liverpool deserve nothing more than they have at the minute.

Their behaviour was disgraceful - mid match, ffs. Birmingham were much better when they were 0-7 down at home. Or Derby when they were 0-5 down to West Ham.

how much would it cost Newcastle to sack Big Sam and his 20 backroom staff he brought in? Give him the whole season I say, they won't go down so no damage done.

One of the sundays quoted a huge figure (can't remember what it was, but I did bang my head falling off my chair so that might explain it), which apparantly is the reason he hasn't been sacked yet

Big club my behind.

An absolute nothing club with the absolute worst kind of supporters.

make or break today, owner of club in papers today saying he supports sam, wonder will he feel the same if stoke turn them over today. all they have left is the cup

Love Allardyce the coach, love what he did with Bolton. Given time he'll lead Newcastle into Europe but whether he'll get it or not is another matter.

very lucky to survive in cup today, how did parkin miss ,good to see duffer back getting better with each game

wow Jebus i actually agree 100% with you :)(i must now lie down after all this!)

All this couldnt have happened to a nicer person (pig?):)
Greedy, corrupt, ignorant, and over-rated
Im sure his pro-zone isnt much good to him these days:rolleyes:

Last night was awful, and i cant see how he is still a manager today. Newcastle were soulless, had no ideas or plans, and look like a team on the brink

I read this weekend that Allardyce brough over 20 staff with him or were appointed by him. All kinds of stuff from pshychologists to dieticians, coaching support etc. That's some entourage.

On the pitch I couldn't believe how bad that guy David Rozenhal is. Was he in the Czech team that we played? He was utter rubbish.

yeah, but you can see why he is part of the team, all he does is lob it forward

by the way, i thought Nicky Butt was shocking, no forward runs, not plugging the gaps in midfield
