    So excluding those two players who would you have had on the bench in their places.

    Our squad is wafer thin with no cover at all, we used to have 11 purple players (Charnley Terminology) now we have at most 4.

    On a footnote

    Rondon played against Panama on weds and flew back from Panama City on Thursday afternoon which is a 19 hour flight arriving at Newcastle Friday afternoon !!!!

    Ashley likes to try and destroy the reputation of club legends. He tried it with Shearer, Keegan and now he is attempting to destroy Rafa's. It backfired when we finished 10th and now he has done his usual trick and loaded the dice in his favour by selling players and not allowing him the proceeds or a decent transfer kitty for that matter in the summer to ensure failure....again. it demoralises everyone surrounding the club and I fear he has done the job properly this time. He's handicapped the squad good and proper to the extent there is little or nothing left. Even industrial amounts of Mr Sheen may not be enough this season. If we stay up It'll happen again next summer. Forget the standard of football which we all agree is defensive and poor - we know this but theres nothing else our Spanish general can do.

    he must have been near dead if he couldng get 10 minutes of that trash rafa served us up

    joselwho looked like he had lead boots on the second half

    rafa chases rondoen gets him and doesnt play him

    no wonder ash saves his money

    70 k a week to sit on th ebench

    probabaly earnt close to 400k so far and played probabaly less than 90 minutes

    doesnt even get on for the last 10 minutes when 2-0 down

    he must have been comatose not phecking jey lagged
