I can understand why the fans were leaving because I would have if i was there because that was plain humiliating. Also I don't think it's fair to blame Roeder, after all, he doesn't stand around whinging about the injury list, he just tries to soldier on with what he's got.

lfcfan101 (U7095949) posted Jan 18, 2007 man, i remember when newcastle were good, when they were actual title challengers, they were 10 points clear of man utd and threw it all away, that, coupled with 2 successsive fa cup finals, was the closest newcastle have ever got to winning anything in 30 odd years, and even under sir bobby robson, newcastle were a really good side, got into the champions league a few times, but those days are long gone, i do feel sorry for you newcastle fans having to put up with these humiliating defeats, as an lpool fan, ive had to put up with them myself, such as losing to everton 3-0, all i can say is that newcastle have good enough quality midfield and strikers to get into europe next season, but its your defence that badly needs sorting out, newcastle have something like the worst defensive record in the league, its stopping goals being scored against you you need sorting out, not scoring them, I think glenn roeder, whos done a really good job at newcastle, should invest a couple of really experienced centre backs, to command the defensive area, that, coupled with the fact that one day your long list of injured players will finally end, although you may have to wait, will make newcastle a really good side, possibly even champions league qualifiers, who knows? , whatever happens, it cant get worse
