Is that their real name?

It seems Johnson picks a specific team to combat his opponents in a certain way. Pro - that tactic can work, though often for only a limited time. Con - lack of familiarity between players and lack of confidence, hence the mistakes.

We know what we need to do - unfortunately, so do Newcastle.

In fairness, The True Geordie makes most of the statements to be entertaining, rather than actually believing his team are superstars. It's true, too - with their manager, players and funds, they should be walking the league. Make no mistake, their attacking players are very, very good.

There's a popular Youtuber called The True Geordie that talks about football in general, but always blows his top when Newcastle play badly. Recently he's been shouting his mouth off about how easy the Championship is. I would really like to watch steam come out of his ears if we manage to pull off a win.

What you just described I'd constitute as playing well right now.

BBC saying we're not playing that well. Worrying. Newcastle are going to pull themselves together at some point.

I can't really blame them. You aren't obligated to be excited by every signing we make. We've had our fair share of elderly journeymen strikers just in the past decade - Stern John, Marlon Harewood, Patrick Agyemang to name a few - until Wilbraham, the only one I think worked out is Adebola. Boy do I wish we still had a 32 year old Adebola though.

I've never really backed the sacking of Johnson (mainly due to wanting to give a manager time rather than happy clapping), but I will admit it's quite sad to feel more scared than happy when taking the lead.

It must be reiterated what a class act Wilbraham's been for us ever since he arrived. Considering his career before now wasn't stellar, he's been not only a top pro, but always very impressive given his age.

Bad result. Does nothing for confidence. Will be interesting to see if the penalty was legitimate. Could have been worse, a point is a point. Johnson probably won't go, we still need to solve our confidence issue and game management. I feel like that's a fair, unbiased statement. Going to leave the forum for today though, see you later.

And players take zero responsibility?

But ultimately can't influence every decision they make.

They're the players.

COYR. 3-2. Time to hold on.

Hmmm?

Cotterill assisted for City today.

Maybe during the 90 minutes of a City match, I'll give you that.

COYR ALWAYS BELIEVE

We've been over this. I have no problem with you wanting Johnson to go, but do you have to post "Johnson Out" when we take the lead against Rotherham or score our third against Derby?

O Donnell makes great save for Rotherham to keep Blackburn out.

Second half, no time to sit back, we need to give them 90 minutes of hell. Normally I'd want us to preserve the lead, but this is a day for making a statement.

He tweeted this on deadline day. I honestly don't know any more than that.

BBC say we've come out fighting. Yes. Yes yes yes.

Seriously?
