At Leeds it's Noel hunt, with very good reason too, he shit, he replaced Steve Morrison, because of his previous relationship with McDermott 0h and his on 22k a week and he was one if the players who allegedly refused to take pay cut for more than 2 weeks
It all came to head when he replaced Matt Smith Saturday and was booed ad he came on, did sfa when he did too

Maybe we need to find a way of substituting him for himself in the first few minutes.
Yes, I said on my earlier thread, he is the scapegoat for Newcastle. I can imagine the player is excited about leaving in the Summer, getting away from the crap treatment. Not just from some fans, but management, media and the players, who complain about him. I am not going to have another rant about this, because I will end up getting carried away and could go on all night.
Bendtner? Though I suppose he doesn't play enough to count really.
I'd forgotten about him
Naughton and Rose probably take the most flak.
Added to which., he can make things happen.
Perhaps not consistently, I don;t know. But he can certainly beat players and cross a great ball when he's on his game.
Yes, exactly. Hatem Ben Arfa getting put on the bench is pathetic, when other players can still get a start, even if these have been poor. It just shows Pardew will play his favourites, even if they are bad themselves. After HBA's goal assist for the Crystal Palace match, he still did not get a start for the Everton game. He earned his place, but never recieved his start.
As a fan of the club and player, I am counting down the days for when Ben Arfa leaves. I cannot wait to see him flourish away from bad management and some petty players. I look forward to see him playing at his new club next season. I think he will go back to France and play football over there.
It amazes me, when people blame Ben Arfa for defeats. He cannot really do much on the bench, if other players do not pass to him and when he only gets 20-30 minutes a game for majority of the matches:D
You could also add AVB, Daniel levy and Possibly Tim Sherwood to the list of Scapegoats as the one them is inpet,(sp) Clueless & pointless:o:confused:
Despite the fact that we've kept more clean sheets with him in the side, a lot of people seem to be criticising Agger and I can't wrap my head around it. I understand that it's exciting to have someone as potentially good as Mamadou Sakho in the squad, but whenever Agger makes the tiniest of mistakes, some people have been absolutely HAMMERING him. Some are suggesting that he doesn't have a future and a small minority are suggesting he SHOULDN'T have a future.
I think most rational fans still love him, but he's the closest we've got to a scapegoat at the moment.
Crikey, that is strong:o
Seb Bassong (the team captain) is also pretty unpopular - he's made a good number of silly mistakes.
Bradley Johnson gets a good amount of criticism too. For not being able to pass the ball very well.
Really though, not many have avoided criticism this season.
I think that Fellaini has pretty much taken that mantle, now.
I think that it's a combination of his excessive transfer fee (not his fault), some clumsy/ineffective performances (partly his fault) and his hair-do (absolutely his fault).
The fact that the whole team have been pony doesn't help, either.
Lennon comes in for some stick because there is no final product, whilst Rose just seems to lack any form of intelligence. Townsend and Sigurdsson have not been rated as much by Sherwood so have been used mainly as subs. Dawson gives his all but doesn't have the pace to be able to play the high line.
I think Naughton has done well in my view and offers more defensive protection than Walker but has his limitations at the end of the day.
first I've heard of that, and I am a Liverpool fan!
Joe Allen seems to get a bit of flack sometimes, mainly because he is as good as Carra in an attacking position!
His been a scapegoat for years hasn't he
