Premier League 8th-12th March Discussion Thread

I wonder if Owen regret his move away from Liverpool, it no coincidence he left and Liverpool started to win prices again.

decent first half, I'd have been pissed off about that penalty decision if we hadn't gone in ahead. Newcastle's heads dropped after the first goal and they were probably saved by the half time whistle.

let's get a couple more for Torres early doors and rest him and Gerrard for half an hour

1550: HALF-TIME Blackburn 0-0 Fulham
Nothing to report.

Gerrard

inspirational

lovely finish

this is getting ridiculous. What more has to happen for Keegan to quit or Newcastle to realise they got the wrong man or Smith to be dropped?

The torres, gerrard show continues


roles reversed this time

Is Smith playing?

If only Liverpool could play like this throughout the season!!

The Rafalution hasnt finished yet!!

In Rafa we trust!

torres and gerrard are superhuman

this is simply not fair

Of course. It must be in his contract to start every game

Smith is doing his usual anonymous role, managing to avoid taking any responsibility on the pitch, passing the ball five yards into trouble whenever he does make an appearance. It's a wonder as to what exactly he does to make us persist in playing him, because he and Joey Barton are literally the two worst players I've ever seen play for Newcastle. Presumably he works tirelessly on the training ground, and perhaps is good at shouting a stream of nonsensical but positive-sounding football jargon, 'get up 'em' and so on, but then training is just preperation for matches, and he hasn't done anything half decent for us all season. Hopefully he gets himself sent off today.

We are the worst team in the league at the moment, a rubbish bunch of players, by far the worst as a group since we were promoted to the Premier League, whose heads go down as soon as a goal is conceded, and who on top of this are having some very bad luck.

haven't heard his name mentioned once in this game

what is keegan thinking

has martins been banished ?

Liverpool play the best football in the league at this moment!!

No lie..and no surprise since Kuyt is back in form! He maybe on the bench today, but he clearly gave everyone a boost in confidence.

Martins on for Duff

Martins is on the bench has no hope of playing when Owen is fit.

Smith is an automatic first choice without question

Keegan isnt thinking Liverpool would have won today regardless but he clearly isnt learning playing the same shite each week.

Reading take the lead against Man City. Shane Long.

Another twist in the relegation struggle.

And on comes the genius

We have to go to get something at Birmingham next week, and getting something should be within our reach, but really we are relying on winning our home games against Fulham, Reading and Sunderland. That would keep us up comfortably I guess. The problem is where the goals are going to come from - without Martins, the answer is that they aren't going to come - he kept us up last season really with his goals, and we need to play him now, because he is the difference between a flaccid, lifeless team and one with pace and threat. The other problems is that we are in such a mire at the moment, confidence is lower than ever, and we are suffering from the bad luck that often crops up to afflict teams during such periods.

Last week I began to see that we really can go down, that we are close to doing so, and at the moment I'm prepared for us to drop. But I still think we will do enough to survive.

If scores stay the same they'll go above Newcastle.

Our defence is fucked without Richards, Dunne and Onuoha.

Kuyt to come on and score!

Did you see that short cameo of him putting on his shirt? His physique is amazing, like a Greek warrior! Three cheers for Kuyt!

You have a good taste,sir

martins nearly scores a stunner from thirty yards


he is so much better than the other newcastle strikers

I saw that S4P (nis). I saw that.

$h!t! did you see that? Harper has football pie all over him!

Harper's been arguably Newcastle's best player. It's no exaggeration to say that without him we'd have scored 50.

Does anyone know Kevin Keegan's goal difference ?
