Compared to the barcodes, we're in good shape. Feel sorry for Chris Hughton though.

I do too. I always liked him as a player.

Here's hoping we get relegated. I want to see Cashley lose a ton of money (which would be a cert if the team were relegated), and the club is dead to me until he is gone. After what he did to KK, he's a dead man if he sets foot in the Toon again.

"Want-away Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is lining up a sensational return for former manager Kenny Dalglish."

Parting blow?

Now Nigerian investors, of all people, want to take over Newcastle?

Are we sure this isn't an internet scam?

If we lose at home to Hull then I'll agree with you.

Hehe

Saw the game, don't buy all this Hull were magnificent crap. Arsenal had more than enough chances to put them away and didn't. Funny watching Wenger have a fit on the bench though.

So, we've got half a team, most of whom are not Premier League class players, a "manager" who had to resign from a lower division club out of shame at results (and who still has a touchline ban to serve), an owner who has tried to loot the club and sell what few good players we had and alienated the fanbase by sacking God, zero confidence and the contempt of all the fans and no hope of winning a game against anyone.

In any sane world we'd be bottom of the league.

But good old Spurs, with their mega acquisitions and stable boardroom and management team just won't let us sink to our rightful place.

We sold two of our best players right before the deadline, and a bunch of squad players from last season. You can't rebuild that in a month.

And even despite our players running around like headless chickens, we still embarrassed Newcastle at St James' last week

I know, I was going to try and find him. Rub salt in the wound and all that

[Provost Harrison]

Actually I don't know how I forgot to be really glib with Agathon the other week either...that is far more satisfying because Cort Haus is a cool bloke...

[Cort Haus]

The wound is starting slowly to heal, but it is a deep one. I was at the game, and fair play to Hull, they took their chances while Arsenal missed loads and played well below their potential. Apparently Le Boss had a go at the team for an hour at the end. He should send the Carling Cup team out for the next game.

We don't have a manager, or even a whole team, or even stable ownership, and we have Dennis Wise as DOF and we still are better than you in the league.

The bad news for you, is that most of Newcastle's current problems will be fixed when the club is sold in the next month or so. What are you lot going to do? This was supposed to be a team challenging for a European spot.

Hull City are also better than Man Utd in the league - means nothing at this stage.

I'll believe it when I see it. Newcastle are one of the worst organised and run clubs in the premier league. They still think it's 1996.

I never expected us to challenge for a European spot, we were awful the tail end of last season.

We have a good squad but no team, it'll take time.

[Cort Haus]

I'm not suggesting that Dennis Wise is equivalent to, for example, the Arsenal scouting network, but when a club appoints a manager who hasn't watched a game of football for three years, it's reasonable to assume that he doesn't have his finger on the pulse of the international transfer market.

Who were "King Kev's" transfer targets, anyway?

And better than you on today's comical result.

You're just not trying are you? Why won't you let us be bottom of the league? We don't even have a team for Christ's sake.
