SORT IT OUT MATE!

WE ARE SO SICK OF THIS SHITE

A dose of reality, however, with all said and done, a finish between 6-10 isn’t that bad for a manager’s first season with the club, with what he had to deal with. I know we’re behind this and the test will be when all our african ’stars’ are away. Hopefully, Enrique steps up allowing Zog the left wing roll he deserves.

first: no it’s not a stupid name, and yes, I AM a girl (“Paige”).

Right. The problems you are having are marginal and vital. The marginal would include injuries to the likes of Michael Owen and playing Charles N’Zogbia (whom I’d like to see at City) out of position due to other injuries &c.

The vital are these: I think (not “feel”) that certain of your superstars believe Old Cod Face Rollthedice is beneath them; as, clearly, do some of you. You are in error. The problem is not Rotund Samuel, and not his tactics. Revisit what he did with Bolton, what he did with the little he had. The problem is that certain persons in your team, who wish they were somewhere else, and being managed by someone with more “gravitas” (as they say), are dissenting and doing so off and ON the pitch; and Sam, despite his hard head (as an adopted Lancastrian of 30 years) is letting his soft Brummie heart get the better of him.

Now, he IS culpable (re soft heart) for signing that bindipping chav thug Barton from us. Barton destroyed City’s dressing-room last year, and you all don’t know the tenth of it. GET RID. But tough Sam, like tough Pearce, has secretly got a big heart, which means, idiots like Barton can take advantage of him…

You need to suck it up and face facts: you are probably NOT going to finish in the top six this year, and the reason is NOT your manager, it’s the players. The tactics are fine. You have the players on paper (I hate that) and truth is, looking at the table, you actually could finish top six, right? Right, easy. If the players you have on big bucks can’t even begin to motivate themselves, even Jesus Christ couldn’t get them fired up if He showed them hell and their souls falling into same. There is WAY too much indiscriminate blame placed on managers when it is the players that are the problem. Why don’t you be different and be honest. Sam has not been given a chance, he has not been afforded the money to compete and sign, and you have some players who are just having a laugh. Rather than sing and point fingers “you don’t know what you’re doing” at Sam (you should be ashamed, the whole world saw the nice Geordie mask slip) try it with the players…because Sam, like Sven, has to try things during games to be sure about what he has got…and what he has is a bunch of players who are going to get him the sack as Newcastle lurch from manager to manager to manager.

Keep it up. With you out of the frame you make it easier.

Yours Man Cityidly, and good luck (seriously).

SPV-B.

Just where do all these high expectations come from? Newcastle haven’t won a domestic cup since 1955! Even City in that time period have won a couple of FA Cups, a couple of League Cups, a European Cup Winners cup and the English League title.

Is it possible that all but three teams have better midfielders than us. How does it come to this after Barton excuses himself from the team?
