On the lucky side tho, defo on the lucky side. What I've noticed this morning is, despite Liverpool having no one able to put the ball in the net, they've scored more goals than Utd. In fact, they've scored nearly as many goals as anyone. I'm glad they played shit yesterday, as they don't seem to be able to do two decent games on the trot ... so maybe, just maybe, we might get a decent match on Thursday. Looking forwards to it now.

Both goals for LFC had their elements of luck, no doubt, but what was evident when they went down to 10 men is that they had to go for it and did and subsequently they actually looked a better threat with the 10 then they were posing when they were at full strength. Just like their whole season their inconsistency is baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very very odd how they can bang 6 in and then barely take a shot the next match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who also had luck on their side in the final minute. United weren't good enough. Having 10 men against a team who are usually set up well defensively anyway was never an easy task though. I'm not saying we would've won if we had 11 men because our problems this season have been highlighted when playing against teams who sit off us. We need loads of space for our players to look good, most of the time. Palace could still be dragged in, easy. Judging by Pardews post match he knows it too. They're the worst side in the league at the minute. Also how were Liverpool lucky? Did very well with 10 men, Palace capitulated (again) and it was a clear peno. Palace being shit doesn't mean Liverpool were lucky. Liverpool were shit too mind you. 12 hours ago, thetime said: LVG will do a LVG in the next 11 days and everything will be fine. Next two weeks - Liverpool, West Ham, Liverpool, Man City. Not a hope. Hes a time waster. Edited March 7, 2016 by The Nal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool were shit, but they still won ... due to the luck of being gifted the first goal, and the luck of being awarded a soft penalty for the 2nd. (yes, it was a penalty by the rules, but plenty of refs wouldn't have given that all the same - he was touched, but he was going nowhere).

Compare United's record against top half sides and the bottom sides. All the above will come out and play, exactly when United start and play well. Teams that stand off and defend, utd and lvg are clueless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WS_Jack_III Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Sack McClaren now and get someone in tomorrow. It's the only hope Newcastle have of being in the prem next season, and it's a thin one at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McClaren kept the team up he'd still have to go, top 8 was his target and he's spent 80mil. Stuck with that awful formation all year long when it hasn't worked, played a striker on Saturday that has scored 1 in about 25 and not played in months. Carr should also go, too many of his signings haven't been worth the money spent and Charnley must have his position reviewed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaosmark2 Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I completely agree we need a change, but who the fuck would take it? Becoming manager of Newcastle is a huge gamble that only those who don't think their stock can fall lower would risk. Like McClaren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomThomDrum Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I dont think it would be too much of a gamble for Moyes to take it straight away. They could get relegated and he doesnt get blamed, but if they dont he is the hero. If they are relegated with him at the helm then I reckon he could do well with that squad to get them straight back up and then he is a hero and he can ride that crest for a while. Its nearly a win win for him and the time spent with the squad now until the end of the season, whether they go down or stay up, allows him to get a good idea what would be required for next season.

WS_Jack_III Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Most clubs would have done it by now. I'm worried they are gonna stick by him Only person to be sacked in the Ashley reign is Hughton, the only man to meet his targets.

While I agree with what you've said there .... the the idea of the campaign itself surely seems more than a little ... erm ... misguided. It's always possible, I guess, that the jury have returned the wrong verdict over the one charge they've found him guilty of, but he's pleaded guilty to two other charges, and I doubt the extra charge will makes too much difference to how long he actually serves in jail (as generally sentences run concurrently). So even if he gets 'justice' and that extra charge is over-turned he's still guilty of child sex crimes and everything that means, and would probably be doing much the same time. Why bother? (actually, I fully understand why someone might bother .... but it makes such little difference here)., Edited March 8, 2016 by eFestivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My views aren't really influenced by his profile, I fear stopping things because high profile people do them, ends up hitting low profile people as well. I advocate a convict to fight a conviction tooth and nail regardless of their background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a pretty straightforward decision where he should have been suspended until the trial. That decision made things really tough on the victim, who should have been the main priority. A few people on the radio moaning that Sunderland letting him play meant their kids were allowed to meet and bxe photographed with him. Surely the club wasn't letting him doing that community aspect of the job ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
