Well done for holding out for 48 mins. Shame they scored 6 in the 42 mins after that.

I know. Bloody defending from set pieces let us down again, along with a lack of putting the ball in the back of the net.

Talking of which, L'il Mickey did just that on about the 40 minute mark but (yet another) totally incompetent linesman flagged him offside.

It all might have turned out different but for that. (8-1 for example).

E-mail this to a friend (i like this bit)

Man Utd 6-0 Newcastle

Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates his hat-trick against Newcastle
Cristiano Ronaldo's first hat-trick for Manchester United sent them to the Premier League summit as they destroyed managerless Newcastle at Old Trafford.
The winger's free-kick broke the deadlock after 49 minutes and Carlos Tevez quickly tapped in a second.

Ronaldo capped a stunning four-man move for the third and Rio Ferdinand volleyed in a fourth after 85 minutes.

He sealed his treble via a deflection, and Newcastle's Alan Smith saw red for dissent after Tevez's disputed sixth.

sorry i've not got on sooner, busy celebrating. whilst i am on, didn't i mention a change of manager for you the last time we spoke? next words of wisdom, you'll get venebles with shearer next.

I was expec ting you lot to score a lot earlier than the 49th minute. Were you waiting to give the Geordie's a little false hope lol.

Venables doesn't need the money and Shearer shouldn't do it as his inevitable failure will turn him from hero to zero in the Toon minds (or what's left of them).

Hughes has "refused to rule himself out"

Houllier's getting a close look.

Keegan also sounds interested.

nufc.com refer in passing to a Keegan/Shearer dream team.

No comment.

Yer, what can I say, Sunderland played their hearts out and we rolled over like a dead dog.

Sunderland only lost at home 3 times this season, that's not a bad record for such a "poor" team.

And Christ we miss Glen Johnson... Campbell was getting owned by Jones every time. Muntari too..... and Diop..... Utaka I can live without personally.

Pretty worried about this month in general!!!! :-S

I'm beginning to wonder if the outcome of the match on April 19 will decide which of the two teams will be relegated..Sunderland or Newcastle.

its greed and fame that motivate venebles, if they offer 5 million to him he'll take it, that with the attention and the fact he can wash his hands of failure by blaming shearer should make it for him.

keegan will not go back, you have more chance of tempting daglish.

And in late breaking news, Didier Deschamps sneaks up on the rail to take the over the favourite's spot at the bookies.

Ged has said "non", apparently.

Who has won the more trophies;)

I can see Keegan going back to be honest. Second chance to make it all better and all that. And no other bugger seems all that interested in NUFC. or Keegan for that matter, so its win win.

If they were any better than Blackburn I could see Hughes looking at it as a stepping stone on the way to succeeding Alex Ferguson, but they aren't, so it wont happen.

If they wait for the end of the year they might yet get Rafa:(

I'm a geordie lass living down south, (its the wife here!) The toon just need a miracle, we've got Sheff Utd again and we really should have had a manger for that. The should have left Big Sam for another week at least until this match is out of the way. Long live Shearer but i reckon we're going to pushed to get a "decent" manager to touch us with a barge pole with our track record. :thumbdown:

Sheffield United? Do you mean Stoke City? But the rest of what you say makes porfect sense hinney.

Actually, I think we've got a good shot at the FA Cup this year. Just Stoke and then Arsenal to get through and we're already in the fifth round.

Let me be the first to say "I TOLD YOU SO"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/foot...ed/7192457.stm

Next step I can see is to bring Shearer on board in some role and groom him as inevitable successor for when it all goes sour again.

The ex-England coach was running his "Soccer Circus" in Glasgow after quitting his job at City in March 2005.

Obviously the best man for the job, then.

Bow down in trepidation before your conquerers, ye gooners. The Messiah has come again and will drive through your pagan hordes with the pure righteousness of The Once and Future Geordie God.

Ye art DOOMED!!!!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 
Our hopes now are three-fold: none of which necessarily involve the acquisition of cups.

A team to be supported with pleasure, not a heavy heart and a sense of duty.....
A manager we don't feel ambivalent, embarrassed or downright grubby about supporting....
For the rest of the planet to f*** right off and mind their own business.

Are these unrealistic expectations? probably.

Im not sure if you are overmedicating, or just forgot to take it altogether:confused::eek::D

I predict a return to keegans winning past. Championship champions the year after next perhaps? He has a track history of winning that one:p

Good Luck, At least whatever happens its safe to say it wont be dull to watch! I still think LFC are more likely to win the prem than NUFC a pot...and you know how likely that is!

Keegan wasn't sacked the first time. If he hadn't walked away in 1997 he'd probably still be there anyway.

And no matter what happens today, we'll be fired up for your lot in the cup next. So watch your lip.

I'm not going there.

There were signs of life, today. Committment from the players and (at least in the second half) entertaining football.

Good enough start for me.
