After the waiter is finally gone the next campaign by the fans should be to have buck/gourlay/emenalo thrown out and replaced by people that know what they're doing, people like Guus Hiddink.

Bale scores, notice how much better Spurs move the ball around those areas when a team is parked than we do, even when we have Oscar, Hazard and Mata on? We have the better players, so surely it's just down to the manager, I wish we hadn't treated AVB so badly, just another top coach we'll never have back.

Popov gets sent off for spitting, Coloccini gets nothing for kicking Ba in the face, and Cisse only gets a yellow for choking Ash. Loving the consistency of refereeing in the EPL. I get the feeling Clattenburg's decision to issue a weak red may have been influenced by the repercussions for us if Spurs win today, don't know how he's still ref'ing in this league.

Everyone makes mistakes, it depends on how the club look to resolve them. If they made great efforts to bring Jose back and actually give him time, let him know there's no pressure on his job, then that would go a long way. Then bringing in competent board members, apologizing to the fans for this season and for the FSW, giving Frank a contract extension, and maybe an apology to RDM and Carlo for how they were treated, then i'll feel a hell of a lot better.

I agree, I think he's a very talented manager, it's no coincidence that two of the best up and coming managers (AVB and Rodgers) both learned from Jose.

How the hell did he transition to Chelsea scout from that? I need to find me an under-12 girls team.

People pining for the return of Mikel and Kalou What next? We're not winning because we're sorely missing the influence of Quaresma? That team out there with a proper manager should have easily won that game.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Unfortunately when he's back people will remember how little he actually contributes and will be ranting about how hes there over Ramires or Lampard.

I've been hoping for this exact scenario since the FSW was appointed. Don't understand people not wanting him, did very well with the England squad, has a fantastic reputation and list of achievements at club level, and stuck by our captain when everyone else vilified him. Apart from Jose, who else could possibly be better?

We're the laughing stock of the footballing world already, some Champions of Europe we are. For the first time in our history we've been able to gloat about being the best of the best, and it's been ruined, and who knows when we'll ever get another chance again. Not only is he ruining this season but hes ruining the accomplishments of last seasons heroes.

I'd agree with you if there were some sort of balance between calls going in our favour and against us, but I feel like the last call we've had in our favour was Mata's ghost goal in the fa cup semi final nearly a year ago, meanwhile we've been cheated around a dozen times.

Maybe we should just appoint Willian in charge until the summer, at which point the transfer window opens and he can also become captain.

I was saying the same thing about the refereeing earlier, as much as I want the waiter out, if the ref had done his job we would have easily won that game even with that incompetent idiot in charge.

If i wasn't currently living on the other side of the world i'd be there week in week out with my picket. He can't last much longer surely, i'm hoping this will be the last straw, there will be close to a riot at the next home game if he's still there.

First player to ever hit double figures for 10 consecutive EPL seasons from what i've heard.

Exactly, as much as I hope the board knows they have to sack him, they'll be thinking what do we do for the rest of the season? No-one will want to come here on a few month contract, our assistant doesn't even have his badges and has never coached a club in his life. They could try to do a Hiddink style temporary interim thing with an international coach but I don't know how easy that would be to do. I get the feeling they've wanted to sack him for a while now but just have no alternative.

Can anyone else not shake off that sick to your stomach feeling while watching us play these days? Even before the game I had it and the whole way through, was almost relieving when the inevitable happened and we f**ked up at the end, because I got to stop worrying about it happening. Jesus Christ.

If he is still in charge come the game midweek I don't know what the f**k is going on at the club anymore. A reputation for being the most ruthless board in teams of dismissals ever, and we haven't yet fired this clown. What the f**k?

They should have 9 players on the field, this entire result is f**king ridiculous, I feel bad for the team that have been cheated today because for the most part we've played decently. Let's see what happens to Rafa's job after this one.

quality 45 yard shot also it appears our manager has forgotten that he's managing and thus not one sub in the 2nd half

When did every newcastle player become such a lippy sh*t? every time the whistle is blown someone has to speak their piece, it's getting as bad as playing against United.

Can't believe i'm saying this but f**k yea rafa, give those prats a piece of your mind

another 3-2 on the cards?

Didn't realise Newcastle's players were such a pack of twats until today, really hope we win after the antics of jonas, cisse and coloccini so far.

1) What a f**king goal by Juan Mata, two amazing goals holy f**k, first by the all time great, second by the current great, amazing 2) Why is Cisse not off? Newcastle should have had 2 reds by now.
