Time For Big, Big Changes: FS, GS & AS Must All
Go!
I am sat here absolutely numb. I wonder
how many others out there are feeling the same? I feel embarrassed
and ashamed; I hope the players are too. The performance yesterday
was disgusting. Each and every one of those players let the club,
themselves and most importantly the fans down, and I mean everyone,
including Alan Shearer. I am not afraid to say it but the time has
come for big, big changes at St. James' Park from top to bottom.

FA Cup Semi-Final: NUFC 1-4 MUFC
Newcastle's season came to a horrible end at Cardiff's Millennium
Stadium yesterday afternoon as Graeme Souness' bunch of no hopers
were thrashed and humiliated by Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United.
The Red Devils soon raced into a 2-0 lead with goals from Ruud Van
Nistelrooy and Paul Scholes on the stroke of half-time as the current
holders looked to put the game to bed and that's what they did. Moving
the ball with pace and precision the Mancs tore at United, toying
with them and producing a master-class in ball retention.
Newcastle on the other hand struggled to pass the ball 5 yards and
looked punch drunk, no organisation, spirit or fight. By half-time
the game was over.
After the break Man Utd carried on where they left off and soon grabbed
a 3rd with Nicky Butt helping out his fellow team-mates with an inexcusable
misplaced pass. The ball eventually ended up at Van Nistelrooy's feet
and the Dutchman, without a goal in 8 games prior to this match, stroked
home for his second.
A minute later Shola Ameobi, one of just a few who can hold his head
high this morning, picked up a pass from Alan Shearer, cut inside
the box and squirmed a right-footed pass underneath Tim Howard to
make it 3-1.
That seemed to spur on the Black & Whites for a spell but Man Utd
added a 4th with just under 15 minutes to go, Christiano Ronaldo getting
on the score sheet, to wrap the game up.
So the hopes and dreams of thousands once more get shattered by a
United said who failed to turn up. No movement, no control, no organisation,
no spirit, no fight, no skill, no ability, poor attitudes, poor passing,
poor poor Toon fans. We didn't deserve that and those masquerading
as professional players certainly didn't deserve the magnificent support
they received.
Gutted!
