I find it strange he's compared to Scholes as BB hasn't got that much physicality about him. More of a deep lying passer than tackler.

Last season he was on of our best players but this season he's been hit and miss. Taking some criticism from the fans. Mainly because I think teams seem to press him a lot more after being aware of his passing range. He's still a top important player for us but seems to have less impact for some...

He is a ridiculous talent at this level. If he didn't have the potential for injuries, which caused him to retire at 21, then he could definitely be a top player in the Prem. Just has that scary side to his personality on the pitch where he turns into a nutter. That can be his only let down if...

No sadly. I am restricted to watching on TV for this one. I think we've sold about 900 last I heard which was on Tuesday!

It's never easy when key players are out of course. I'd like to point out that we've not got Kieran Lee out for the season and Hooper has been out for the last 7 weeks. Both huge losses for ourselves and a bonus for any opposition. In terms of the game we will approach it with caution and...

Olá meus amigos. Should be an interesting game on friday. We're getting the results but the performances have been below par. Don't know whether I'm happy you lost before playing us, meaning you'll either rebound well or be slightly more vulnerable?! I do think we've got a LOT more to give as...

Category A and B are very rarely put into action as well. Generally it's category C and D. The strategy was made like this to persuade people to buy 1, 2 or 3 year season tickets and therefore we sold about 6000 more than the previous year. The amount of walk up fans has decreased but their is...

Yeh man... how do your nerves stand them!? :eek:

Don't know what's with Abdi. He should be the sort of player we are building the team around but we started out playing him on the left which was a complete waste. He failed to have much impact and Carlos just ditched him. I do like our central midfield, Kieran Lee and Hutchinson are fantastic...

Yeh well it's true many people from the outside thought you'd peaked and overachieved last season and that you'd fail to hit the same heights again this campaign. You can see how from the outside that's sometimes how it looked at times last season. So it's probably more surprising that you've...

This seasons indifferent performances are not necessarily down to team spirit it's more down to urgency and tactics in games. We're really slow and progressive but quite solid. It's quite different football to what we were playing last season and we don't seem to be able to take games by the...

Definitely 6th place I hope. Sometimes we look better, like we can attack the top 4 but then we slip up or put in a bad performance. We seem to be exceptionally good at grinding out sneaky wins and draws I think we've scored 7 or 8 goals in added time this season. But overall we aren't playing...

Yo, not been on since last season. I think you'll find our fans are a decent bunch and the usual comments are only ever banter. This 'banter' has been going on for years between north stand chat and Owlstalk so it's generally what each set of fans perceive the others to genuinely think. But as...

Make the ground intimidating at all costs. In a league game we probably wouldn't have been bothered but with so much at stake I guess there's no time for feeling sorry for anyone unless of course the injuries were really severe. That's just the truth of the matter in the heat of the game.

Must be all those Newcastle fans that I'm constantly surrounded by...

Graduating...

Didn't mean to come across patronising. I've spent all year with Newcastle fans apathetically walking into relegation, the fans gave up in November and just moaned all season about how undeserving they were.

Some of you guys were a bit apathetic from the start, no offence, but the evidence for that is on this very forum. We knew before hand that we were way behind you in points but not in spirit, as the atmosphere told last night. You guys DID have the belief at the end, your fans that travelled...

Couldn't cope with penalties... :sick:

We're not really a team that is capable of 'filing our boots' if you like. Neutrals and maybe also yourselves have said that we should've scored more under the circumstances but you have to give credit to the team for staying resolute and putting men behind the ball trying to stay in the tie...
