When Newcastle beat Villa it saved Souness's bacon, but it only bought more misery for toon fans. Today Newcastle were lucky to get a point from Middlesbro' and things can only get worse.
I noted that Bolton got a draw with Liverpool which confirms their superiority V Newcastle this season. I also saw Diouf scored, a snip at £3.5m and a player that Newcastle should have signed as was Baros.
Mr shepherd is not capable of making decisions based upon forethought , he does so on reactions to pressure from extraneous sources. The fans are one such source and todays result won't have helped.
Portsmouth look to have found a rich Russian who should help them buy there way back up to 7th from bottom. Everton are on the mend and Fulham win today. Newcastle are sliding down the table.
Only Pearce can save them now.
