Negatives & positive? Can YOU answer th

Premier League Newcastle United
by Krul's Krul luck (U10335674) 24 September 2008
comment on the article

Why CAN'T we pass forward swiftly and successfully?
Why CAN'T we cross a ball from either side or from corners?
Why CAN'T we defend
Why DON'T we have a leader - Owen's a goal scorer, not a leader
Why is Bassong awful? STOP WITH THE TURNS ALREADY YOU'RE A DEFENDER
Why is Collocinni worth £10m? No chance. I used to think he was good
Why is Steven Taylor really not progressing? I love him to bits but he just isn't performing
Why does Damien Duff look like he's about to do something with the ball, only to turn back on himself and pass it backwards?
Why does anyone putt Nicky Butt and Claudio Cacapa in central midfield? They couldn't be more slow and useless

POSITIVES??
Martins wasn't match fit let's hope he's better for Saturday

That's it...

Michael Owen - England's best player by far and yearning for Champions League football. I feel sorry for the lad really, which is a change to my attitude on him since he was once quoted to say that England had a squad that was only 2nd best to Brazil - arrogant. But i feel for the lad now.

all you peeps (mrjelenje_YNWA, BARCASPUR, Fireyhappypierre) and all you others haters of the beautiful game in the best country to watch in the game. "what are you doing on a football message-board?".

if you dont like it, dont watch it!!!

one can loves there club & hate it in 90mins (just like the weather)it like being in a relationship with someone,sometimes its a love & hate relationship but it so addictive that you can turn away or end it.

when you love your team so much it hates when they lose or do sometink you dont like, but at the same time you no these not a lot you can do about it.

Why CANT Newcastle fans ever stay loyal to the club they profess to love?
Why DONT Newcastle fans behave in a decent manner and stop howling for blood every time the slightest thing goes against them?
Why DONT Newcastle fans admit the truth: that they are the most whinging, disloyal bunch of people on the planet?
Why DONT Newcastle fans admit the fact that Ashley has spent a fortune in the best interests of the club as he saw it?
Why DONT Newcastle stop kidding themselves that they have right to be successful?

Why don't Newcastle fans buy the club off Ashley and run the club themselves appoint 'King Kev' as manager let him spend £300,000,000 on whatever players he likes and the fans come run the club however they fancy and win the league and the European Cup next season!!!! DREAM ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Newcastle fans need to wake up and realize that some things take longer then a minute to happen. They need to stop whinging and moaning and get behind the team like real fans do!

They don't give anyone anytime to try and make things better apart from King Kev who exactly like the fans that love him run away as soon as the slightest thing goes wrong or they don't get there way.

Ashley should do the honorable thing and sell off the club assets and get out and declare it bankrupt. What club can ever work with 'fans' like NUFC's?!?!?!?!?!

why would anyone with money to burn buy Newcastle?? The best club to buy at the moment is probably Leeds.

Emma, just because you hold a different opinion please don't call me a mug.I merely expressed my view on the state of football today. I saw my first match at White Hart Lane in 1958 and have seen more football than many so called fans. I also remember many fine Chelsea teams but since the complete takeover of a sport by what is laughingly called big business the fun has gone out of it. *I am not mug enough* to pay large sums of money to watch ordinary players who are paid a kings ransome and have little or no contact with the fans or loyalty to them or their club.Frank Lampard holds the badge when he scores, yet spat his dummy out over his huge contract.

=====================

so fireyhappypierre are YOU calling people who are willing "to pay large sums of money to watch ordinary players who are paid a kings ransome and have little or no contact with the fans or loyalty to them or their club" mugs!!!

some peeps are willing to pay the price it costs these days,it doenst make them a mug, and if you were a bit younger (ok,a lot younger!!!) then you mite fell differently and pay to go to the lane and watch then play, but also you cant really compair the price in 1958 to the prices now and of cause youre seen more football then most(you must be what over 50, in your 60s)

Yes indeed I am over 60, sorry about that, but the world doesn't yet belong to just the young.What I would say is this, football is a pretty simple game , and really isn't better to watch now than in the past, but the price for this commodity(which is what it is)has risen beyond it's real value. Now if the price of goods goes up and the value doesn't then the business is in trouble. I've been in White Hart Lane with over 70,000 people in it and watched a great side play, and it didn't beggar me to do so.P.S. Spelling and grammar lessons would seem to be in order.

I am a Spurs fan and we have been awfull so far this year, however I will always support them and follow them. Why do Newcastle fans think they are a big club!? They never have been and have never won anything, ok they have but not for a very long time. Maybe with the size of the city Newcastle is you would expect a big and successfull team etc. Except for the early- mid 90's with Keegan they have never been any good. The expectation is un-realistic. I also do not think the support is as good as everyone says it is, i have been to a few spurs away games at Newcastle and could only here the spurs army!!

Come on you Spurs!
