Will the Newcastle fans be at St. James's Park in their tens of thousands next season when they play the likes of Sheffield Wednesday, QPR, Shorpe and Doncaster or will they wait until they're in the Premier League again ?

You cant blame Shearer, no-one can, look at what he has had to work with, look at how many players he has used during his 8 games to see if he can get a team together. The attitude of certain players' had changed during his time as manager and if things needed changing, he changed them.

I do like your last comment though, there are so many people that say we aren't a big club, but all they can do is talk about Newcastle.

Think the reason people are talking about it is because Newcastle fans have talked about them being a big club.

He's took over a sinking ship and wasn't able to stop it, very harsh blaming it on him. Mike Ashley has a lot to answer for, both in terms of his manager recruitment and the timing of everything.

How long ago was it when Joe had the heart problem? Why appoint Kinnear in the first place? Why let things get so bad that Keegan left? Why appoint a man who's never managed to try and steer a club out of relegation with only 8 games left? I think Newcastle will be straight back up as long as they appoint a semi-decent manager.

The club's a shambles.

The deluded ones maybe, not the ones who realise what is truely going on.

Couldn't agree more with that post, mate.

Never Shearer's fault the players have never looked like they where was in a battle to stay up no fight at all.

Yeah didn't mean anyone on here mate.

I see Paolo Maldini has retired after a 24 year career and 901 games played for AC Milan.

Fair doos.

Maybe us getting relegated will reduce the number of idiots who do ruin the rest of the fans' reputation by shouting their mouths off with absolute crap on SSN and saying that we deserve to be in the Premiership and are a big club and so on.

Maybe the media will give the messiah boll*cks a rest too, i can't remember the last time i heard a Newcastle fan call one of our managers a messiah.



That is the main reason mate, added to the fact that the players weren't good enough, and better players were reduced with inferior, cheaper players, relegation was the only thing that was going to happen.

They'll have to get the players to get them up though and I wonder who'll want to go their with the apparent mess they're in ?

I read that the Milan fans disrespected him after the game??

That was done by some of the Ultras as Maldini seemed to cheese them off with comments about them 4 years ago.

Bit harsh.

No one mate, that is the thing, no one will want the job, apart from maybe Kinnear, and possibly Shearer.

And what a career he has had

Very much so.

Absolutely. He still looks young too.

Damien Duff has vowed to stay at Newcastle but will he have a choice ? www.skysports.com/story/0,19528, ... 18,00.html

Didn't they hold up a banner with Baresi on saying there's only one captain or something, with the number 6 on?

Yes i read that aswell

Pah! Lightweight!



On a similar note, Beckham reckons he can play until he's 40. Given the fact that Capello has just picked Neville, that means he may end up with 300 England caps.
