Jeremy9. Sounds like a description of me. Howay is a geordie expression for c’mon. It can also mean “well done”, I think. It’s a shortened version of the term “hadaway”. Geordies, did I get that right? If you’re interest in Geordie, get yourself a copy of “Wicked Geordie”.

Look into Setanta sports. They have a number of options available here in the states including a broadband option for watching games online.

Sam’s turned me into an alchoholic………
unfortunately the beer goggles don’t have the same effect on match days……..
any lawyers out there? can I sue fat Sam for woeful perfomances inducing me to drink more and therefore increase my chances of heart disease?

I wouldn’t even give him Stoke, if we lose that our season is over!

Stop making excuses Sam. You have a squad that most premiership managers dream about. Their performances so far have been abysmal. We haven’t won a game recently because we haven’t deserved to. If you can’t get a result then sod off and let someone else take charge. Stoke is your last chance.

Compare the cries for Shearer like this lads –

Shearer was a great player, great goalscorer, fantastic commitment, determination and will to succeed.

Sam is an experienced Manager, is rebuilding, and said at the very beginning of his tenure its going to take some time. Rome wasnt built in a day…

Imagine you run a restaurant, you have a Chef who is good but a few meals arent up to scratch.

You have a waiter, he can serve 10 people at once, he is faster than the rest of them, can take 15 orders at once, and knows the ins and outs of the kitchen, but theres no proof he can cook…

Do you sack your chef for that waiter to become chef???

No. Didnt think so.

Where’s the likes of Drago, Dragoner etc the pro Sam brigade? They were abusive and abnoxious! Condecending to boot!

Well if people like these continue to back him we will be done for, January is going to be a very hard month for us with Sam in charge. If we continue like this we’re done for. I CAN see us being dragged into a relegation battle!

Ashley act now or this investment you have will be worth as much as the sponsors on our shirts! Pull your finger out and show us how ruthless a business man you really are!

we need to get a replacement for milner, he was terrible last night, but agree if we played 442 all season we would be much better.it was a better performance but we just couldnt score.oh and martins was like an 8 yr old striker

Oh and another thing, anybody see Nigel Pearson sharing a joke with Sam with about 10 minutes to go…wish we had something to laugh about….f***ing jobs for the boys if you ask me,
MAKING US LOOK A RIGHT BUNCH OF MUGS.

In life you make your own luck, obviously Sam has plenty but it’s all bad.
Wish Sam would turn up at Shearers Bar and try to explain exactly what he’s trying to do,
like get beat on purpose and get a huge pay off, he’s maybe been on the phone to his equally bent pal Souness for advice.
I’m sick of the excuses, it’s not like we are a Sunday league team and just meet up half an hour before kick off. These guys train together all week, what do they do?
Sorry Sam, cheques in the post……

i really like faye in the middle. he hold the ball very well. he make full use of his physical and is a great ball winner. i just like him to protect our back line and butt did ok. better than emre i think.i really wish can have n zogbia at CM. with faye. the way he dribble sort of remind me of dyer. and stop playing milner he is truly big sam’s son.a dumb ass. just hope he dont cross the ball and cut in and shoot like he always did and score goal by fluke.duff was good beye is great.

I don’t know what’s worse. You guys madly supporting your team and getting not a lot of what you want over x amount of years or me falling in love with soccer two years ago in the states, picking Newcastle as my team and going through Roeder/BSA and sub par results. I guess by far it has been worse for you. But, I have been really tempted to pick Arsenal (previous to last year) or a Blackburn or Liverpool but I am not going to do it because someday, you guys will have a trophy and a good manager and a great, exciting, attacking football. Wishful thinking?? Depends on your time frame. Someone please explain ‘howay the lads’ and where i can always watch Newcastle United online please!!!

I to got up at 4.30am (Western State time difference earlier than Eastern States) this morning to watch the game. We just lack ideas and pace (which we should not as we have both in plenty on paper).

I agree with most of the comments in previous emails however Sam as also bought some good players such as Faye, Baye (who has been one of our best players this season), Enrique (given a chance i think he will be good). I also think Rozehnal will make it as well. However our best player this season has to be NZogbia ( one of Sir Bob’s buys) although he did fade away last night towards the end of the second half, suprisingly when he changed positions to the wing. A position I have always thought we should play him.

I agree though that most of Sam’s signings have not lived up to expectations Geremi is a waste of time, Barton is in the same catagory ( much prefer Emre as a more creative player) and suprising Smith has not fulfilled his hype, he is a player I thought a lot of in the past, however I will give him 100% for effort. Cacapa I am still out on, he has the potential to be another Titus, at times he pulls off some grat tackles, he did last night, then he goes and does some crazy back passes. Vaduka has his moments but for me he is to slow, I would prefer to see Owen and Martins together for a while, although I think Martins is still inconsistant and Owen is the better finisher. Martins does work his socks off and will make chances for Owen.

Well that’s my moan for the day.

I bemoan the fact our manager is Sam Allardyce.

I got up at 6.30 am and watched the game and to be honest I am getting sick of having nothing to support. No clean shots on goal, only long range efforts, non existant passing game, too many players with their backs to the oppositiion looking to hold the ball up instead of breaking up the pitch, Martins playing like a blind man, Milner playing like shit since being moved to the right ( maybe we was all wrong) etc etc. I’m glad I dont live in Newcastle because I’d be as pissed off as the rest of them. Its no fun having no confidence in your team but we never know which one of our teams will turn up. My money is on stoke….seriously.

PS I hope we can hold on to NZogbia. When the best player on the pitch is your left back your in trouble.
