debaser wrote:Well I guess we're nearly safe now, with all the teams below losing. Only some monumentally shit finishing from Liverpool kept us in the match - they should be utterly embarrassed to only score 1 against such an awful side.

1 win in 10 for McLeish. Fuck the fuck off already.

I just looked at the table. I had no idea Newcastle were doing so well.

Congrats.

Oh yes.


The first real test is next season though.

Just seen the two finish for Cisse yesterday

Two of the best forwards in the league, a great midfield and goalkeeper, can you keep the two center-backs fit, and what are your wing-back options? With some investiment, there's surely a great chance of pushing even higher next campaign? Be great to see Newcastle back in the Champions League,

Our fullbacks suck, apart from Santon who is in and out of the team, he is getting better though and was very good yesterday. Our 2 CBs are good, Colo is awesome, but Steven Taylor is always injured and has been out most of this season. It is incredible we have done so well with Simpson and Williamson playing so much.

We have been linked with some good players, Douglas and Mbiwa for CB, and Pieters is looking likely for LB. We tried to sign him in the summer and he openly roots for us on twitter. Apparently he is nothing special though, but he is athletic and young, so maybe he will do well here. These players would give us pace though which is the main thing our defence lacks.

Ba and Tiote have rumours around them, they could leave, they might not.

The team could look like this, but probably won't as these sort of predictions are always wrong.

However, Dalglish was unhappy with two penalty appeals which were turned down by Oliver and also the official's decision to later book the Uruguayan for diving.

Late in the first half Suarez went down under a challenge from Alan Hutton, who appeared to make contact, while after the break the ball hit Eric Lichaj's hand as Dirk Kuyt tried to go past him.

"I have never heard of a penalty not being given by a referee who said the boy was unlucky - what chance have we got?" said Dalglish.

"He didn't give it (the penalty) but he said to Dirk Kuyt the boy (Lichaj) was unlucky.

"I can only tell you what they were saying in the dressing room - don't ask me to justify it.

"When you consider the penalty was refused because the opponent was unlucky, it just doesn't add up.

"Dirk takes it on his chest to go past him, the guy knows he has missed it and he has (spread) his arms and he (Oliver) said he was unlucky - I think Dirk Kuyt is unlucky.

"Even Suarez's booking, the guy has trodden on him and it is a joke.

"You can imagine the headlines tomorrow - he got booked for diving and the guy (Stephen Ireland) has actually trodden on him and he is lucky he has not broken his foot.

"And Hutton was a bit fortunate in the first half."

The draw ended a run of three successive defeats but Dalglish suggested decisions had gone against them during that time as well.

"We have to try to do the best we possibly can in what we are trying to achieve but there are an awful lot of coincidences you can take just over the last three games in the number of decisions which have not gone our way," he said.

"We just have to make sure the football club maintains the integrity they have as a club.

"If other people have to look at themselves to see if they have integrity, that is fine.

"Maybe we have looked at it the wrong way, maybe we should shout our mouth off and complain about things. Maybe we're too polite."

Glenn's penis wrote:I don't see how Enrique is over-hyped. He had a good first half of the season and a bad 2nd half. Praise toward him has died down exponentially but he still deserves the credit he earned earlier in the season.

Henderson has been hit and miss, but if he were a 21 year old academy player he'd be overachiving. All Liverpool fans cry out for the players who should be in the team, but I've lost count of the number of the likes of Pachecco, Shelvey, Anderson, Potter who were the missing link in the team until they got on the pitch. If Henderson had been getting Pacheco-like cameos this season he would be a world beater in our minds by now.

Carragher bashing is fun, but I'll never understand the vitriol towards a player who has been such a tremendous servant.

I don't want to win the FA Cup, I want Everton to win it so that one of the Special Six get a shock when they're not in Europe next season.

Kimbo wrote:Enrique never gets many assists, here he always tended to stop when he got to the final 3rd, he wouldn't try to overlap Jonas and take the fullback on, which is gay as he has the pace and strength.

debaser wrote:The goal you conceded yesterday was more down to the keeper flapping at the original cross and no midfielder tracking Herd, rather than the defence. Wasn't like we had many other chances in the match..
