Fat Sam

They buy players that they perceive the fans will love and make "big name" signings to placate the fans.

I despise both Allardyce and Newcastle. I hope he gets the bullet, and that they either go down or face a relegation struggle.

The biggest problem with that club are the fans; they have no sense of realism whatsoever. They want Shearer as manager? Are they for real? Just because he scored lots for them doesn't mean they'll become the best side in the land with him.

They are annoyingly impatient and persist in the belief that they deserve success because they have a big fanbase (which to them constitutes a big club).

Their signings have either been woeful (Bramble, Cacapa, Viana, Luque), or not very well thought through- Michael Owen on paper obviously is class, but with his injuries? Not sensible for me.

I think Newcastle as a club are like a spoilt child. Want everything and when they don't get it or their latest toy isn't what they thought it would be, all the toys get thrown out of the pram.

According to 5 Live earlier the big buffoon has brought 32 backroom staff with him

Thirty Frigging Two!

When I used to run a Sunday team it was just me and my mate Peter.

Peter's job was to deal with the media if they ever approached us for anything. Given that we were in Liverpool Sunday League Division 5 that was unlikely to be fair. Also, Peter couldn't complete a sentence without swearing so it was probably a good job Garth Crooks never interviewed him really.

Anyway where was I? Oh Yeah - Fat Sam - 32 backroom staff - I am genuinely staggered.

Anyone want to have a go at their job titles?

Watching the MPFC fall to bits in public at Newcastle has been one of the highlights of the season for me. Here's to even more hilariously shambolic mayhem, both on and off the pitch, before a humiliating sacking later in the season - hopefully with a ludicrously arrogant parting shot from the big headed twat in the press, to boot.

They were talking about him on five live yesterday and this moron felt fat sam should tell the owner to sit in the directors box where he bolongs, and should not listen to the fans as they are all idiots and will all be telling him to sack fatty.

We all no newcash fans are the most deluded ever and think they should be playing champ league and winning things etc etc, well wake up and smell the coffee. just cos 50,000 fans turn up dont make you a big club. Sunderland get 40k plus but no one there expects anything at all.

[ratcatcher]

I actually like newcastle. Its a great place with real friendly people. As all fans are, they are over zealous. Only when and if shearer becomes manager and they still fail will the penny start to drop.

Dont think people should slag them off for their eternal optomism though!

Allardyce has a dig at Eriksson's City


Wednesday January 2, 2008
The Guardian

Newcastle v Manchester City

Sam Allardyce, who is often criticised for his cautious approach, has said the image of Manchester City as an attractive side to watch is not entirely accurate. "When you go and watch a game like City v Liverpool and see City set up at home, saying 'we are not going to get beaten', well . . ." the Newcastle manager said. "Sven is getting [favourable] headlines but he is putting up a 4-1. I watched the whole game and he didn't let his side go out to attack. Apart from three players no one got anywhere near the Liverpool 18-yard box."

What a cunt. Why have a go at another team? His team were severely battered by us at his place, made to look like fools, so he has a go at City's 0-0. A very bitter man.

Its like shooting fish in a barrel with this blert.

What a knobcheese he is.

He studied maths at school because he heard it had "something to do with pie"

Errikson's twice the coach he will ever be

City are an attractive side, but against the top sides they've taken a pragmatic view. That's because Sven's an intelligent manager. Which is why they're in contention for a CL place and you aren't, you potato-headed tit.
