My pleasure.

Come on man, i have to stick up for my team, especially with all the Newcastle hatred on here, and all the rubbish about 'messiahs'.



I cant ever remember anyone i know referring to Keegan or Shearer as a messiah. It is a name the media have given and then idiots have blown it all out of proportion.

Do you think the Boro game is make or break Gaz?

I honestly think you will get out of trouble to be honest mate. I can see you beating Boro on Monday and picking up enough points to pip Hull to survival.

What they need is some sort of "Geordie Messiah" to help them out of this hole.

Peter Beardsley?

do you not think that's part of their problem?

they are obsessed with their past and there always has to be some ''geordie messiah'' who will come along and then magically create a golden era where they play football like barcelona and win trophies for ever more.

It's a sh*tty pipe dream and it's about time they let go of the past.

Absolutely mate.

I cant see us beating Fulham or Aston Villa, which means we have to beat Middlesborough. They look as devoid of ideas up front as we do.

I hope you are right mate, however, im not too optimistic at the moment.

It's not our problem pal, we dont actually view managers as messiahs, but it's people like yourself who latch onto these things such as 'messiahs' which the media generates, which make you sound foolish.

I suppose i wouldn't be in your position and believe me mate I have been there far two many times in the past with Everton. Looking back you wonder what would have happened to us if we hadn't saved ourselves on the last day so many times.

But at the minute, between yourselves, Blackburn, Middlesborough and Hull neither team wants to take advantage and win a game. I've been looking forward to the games next Monday for a while now, I would hope full of passion with Premiership survival on the cards. Boro to me have a really good squad and I can't believe, like you lot, are still in real danger. Wasn't that long ago they went to Bolton and could have gone 6th, they lost and kept losing. Even more crazy if West Brom would have beat Spurs they would have been level with you and Boro. Going to be an interesting couple of weeks at the bottom.

A quote from a Newcastle forum i go on...



Just about sums up exactly how it is.

so out of thousands and thousands (possibly billions?) a little internet forum represents the majority?

Come on. Your fans are always protesting for some ''geordie messiah'' of the past to take over. As soon as form dips the want the manager sacked and if it isn't keegan they want it's shearer, if it doesn't work out for shearer (it'll be the boards fault, geordie messiah never does wrong) it'll be tino asprilla or phillip albert they protest for.

Do you know why the name ''messiah'' get's coined?

It's because that's how the newcastle fans treat them, flocking in their thousands to welcome them, with mad hysteria and excitment, sure you see a few ''messiah 9 shearer'' on the back of shirts. Look at the way they welcomed owen. The whole things cringeworthy.

The Premier League needs Newcastle to go down.

Without Newcastle going down it will just be the same sides coming up and going down all the time. Newcastle going down will be a surprise to most people and it'll show that the league isn't stale.

The PL needs Hull to stay up and Newcastle to go down.

It also needs an Everton/Villa or Spurs to actually do the right thing and qualify for the CL in the place of Arsenal or Liverpool, but sadly they haven't been up to the challenge.

Yeh too true mate.

The thing is, there doesn't seem to be any passion, there is idiotic behaviour from Barton, but not real passion. One of the lads who would show some passion, Steven Taylor has been injured, he would run through a brick wall for Newcastle.

I think it will be a very nervous opening 10-20 minutes next Monday night, and i just hope the Newcastle lads settle down and pass the ball about like we did in the first 20 mins against Liverpool at the weekend.

and I believe we can really challenge for it next season. We had a shocking start to the season but we found our form and have looked superb since. I don't think if we had got the start Villa did we would have folded so pathetically. We are coming!!

Oh and I suppose you also wanted to say the PL needs Everton to win the FA Cup to freshen it up!
