Compare the manager's comments after tonight's game....

[murder_inc]

I can't stand that **** Roeder. He must be up there with some of the worst managers working in the game today, I wonder how long it'll be before he's sacked?! He's also boring and lacks charisma. How on earth he can inspire 11 mento go out and fight for every ball is beyond me.

Yep, he's definitly up there with Steve Davis but at least Davis is quite witty at times.

Steve Davis has a dry sense of humor but Roeder has nothing. He's a complete prick.

Newcastle look very poor, the first pen claim was nothing, the player fell over on minimal contact. The second pen was the best shout but the ball was clearly to hand - could have gone either way but nowhere near as clear-cut as the one we didn't get against neverton. The third was a nothing shout.

That cheating ex-chelski scummer babarayo (spelling??) practically caught the ball in the area and we get nothing.

Swings and roudabouts. Geordies deserved nothing in that game.

The hoorbag also smacked Kuyt right in the chops aswell which went unpunished.

I quite like Roeder normally. He did an excellent job last year and his youth coaching credentials are excellent. Being poor at interviews is not a reasonable criticism of a manger in my opinion.

9/10 managers and supporters would make similar comments after a defeat. You need to defend your team unless they have had a run of poor displays. The goal was clearly a freak in the sense that a/ that sort of shot is rarely attempted and even more rarely executed well, so the keeper can't be expected to be in position for it and b/ The keeper did slip and if he hadn't you would hope as the keepers manager he would have been able to save it.

There were several ‘penalty’ incidents for both teams, que sera sera Glenn. He should stick to his own inability to gel a multi, multi million team together rather than hope for preferential decisions from the Referee. How many penalty decisions have we been denied in the last three league games? How many times have we hit the woodwork? Where is the whining from Benitez?

As for Harper slipping, it was only the amazing audacity of Xabi that caused that. If it had been a ‘lesser’ shot you wouldn’t have had the look of absolute ‘brown trousers’ terror on Harper’s face as he realised where he was and what Alonso had attempted, thus the slip.

Geordies ****ing piss me off – listen, you haven’t been a big club for years! Just because you fill your ground with lard arse guys who strip off in the middle of December doesn’t mean you automatically qualify as a ‘big’ club.

They were one of the worst teams to come to Anfield last season and it appears they haven't made any progress since.

It was a perfect pitch - it was poor positioning by the keeper - the goal was his fault - nothing freak about that - Alonso seen an opportunity - hit the ball perfectly and it ended up in the net - thats not a freak goal,

[QUOTE=Morphorino] Would love to see them go down, them and their 50,000 fans.

And I'm delighted about that fact - I hope they do a leeds very soon.

I really don't get why people have such a desire to see clubs in financial ruin. I'm not a fan of the chairman at Newcastle but I have nothing against the fans or club.

I think Roeder did a great job of making a team last season but has suffered from not buying any central midfielders. I guess Duff was to good a deal to turn down and successive managers have failed to bring in a Shearer understudy/replacement so bringing in a forward was an equal necessity. I hope they do okay this season, but I think other teams in the league have improved a lot and so I can see them struggling again.

ANY goal scored from inside your own half is a "freak" goal - unless you do it twice..........

Because they think they are a bigger club than they actually are. Sure they can fill a stadium most games with a load of Gerodies, but what have they won in the last 50 odd years? fcuk all. They have no national or international reach (that i'm aware of anyway), and only just got into the UEFA cup though the Intertoto, and that's only because they made it easier this year. I'm sick of that **** Shepherd putting up big money for players, who just don't belong at a **** club like Newcastle, pains me to see the likes of Parker and MO wasting their careers there. I also hate Alan Shearer (even though he's retired) and if he's meant to be the embodiment of their club then it's a club i'm glad I don't support.

The fact is NUFC is a big club as far as the borders of Newcastle go, after that they're nothing. And it irritates me when sour faced ****s like Roeder can't gracefully accept defeat. The sheer fact we pinged the ball around the pitch without them touching it for minutes at a time, kind of indicates how the game went, and if he thinks they deserved a draw from that, then he's a bigger idiot than I thought.
