Comments for Shearer takes over at Newcastle at http://www.wsc.co.uk , comment 0 to 5 out of 5 comments http://www.wsc.co.uk Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:30:38 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3241/38/#pc_380 All the furore surrounding the appointment of Alan Shearer does not, however, disguise the fact that the current crop of Newcastle United players seems to be less than ordinary. Having watched them many times this season, yes OK, you cannot fault their determination and commitment to the cause (lost though it now may be) but this is just not enough to even survive in the Premiership these days. Unfortunately, there is such a distinct lack of real quality in the side and now when it comes to the real crunch I wonder how many of them will be really up for the fight to avoid the drop. - salamander Fri, 03 Apr 2009 00:04:26 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3241/38/#pc_379 I've been saying this for the last year, Ashley's a mackem! He only bought the club to see how much of a complete mess he could make of it... - CarsmileSteve Thu, 02 Apr 2009 22:21:48 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3241/38/#pc_378 Madness. - Liffrok Thu, 02 Apr 2009 19:12:27 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3241/38/#pc_376 Look, everyone knows it's passion that fuels the Geordie game. Newcastle's jam-packed trophy cabinet speaks for itself. You don't need tactics or good players to win the league, you need pure, erm, black and white blood. Just get players who can go out there and run around believing in Newcastle and all it stands for, and results will come. Football's a religion up there, you know. Just because we sneering atheists don't have the faith, that doesn't mean Newcastle fans can't believe glory will come by appointing a callus-handed son of Geordie soil and toil (albeit one with the charisma of a croquet mallet). - imp Thu, 02 Apr 2009 14:14:31 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3241/38/#pc_375 Do people actually get paid money for writing "Rallying calls will get Newcastle out of the relegation scrap. Such tactics may not work elsewhere but emotion has always been the fuel for the Geordie rocket"? - The Exploding Vole Thu, 02 Apr 2009 13:29:04 +0100
