Taylor clearly learning from Craig Moore in the ridiculous fouls stakes. Booked.

Roeder needs a fucking good slap for this. I'd sack him straight after the match and tell him he's not even allowed to get on the coach back to Newcastle. And put who in charge instead? That's the thing I dunno. I don't think Curbishley is the answer long term, but we'd at least be organised and get some proper coaching. This showing today is unfuckingbelievable. Shola limping out of the tunnel to take the pitch for the second half. It must have escaped Roeder's attention that he CAN'T EVEN FUCKING RUN.

Fuck me, Butch Wilkins would make a better manager than Roeder based on that half time analysis. He reckons Shola shouldn't be anywhere near playing and that Sibierski doesn't deserve to be playing at a club like Newcastle. Spot on. Shame dickwad in the dugout can't see it. What price Dyer on for Shola in the second half?

Honestly, I know it's an away game and we haven't conceded, but Man City are looking SO much better than us and we are utterly clueless. Half time. That was shite. I think it's Lowes etc on 1152 and they just keep saying "That was rubbish... this is like Sunday morning football....no shape... no nothing.... have a word, Glenn.... awwww man! Come on lads ....etc etc" You can almost see them shaking their heads. I'm not one of these that thinks we're too good to go down, but nor did I fully realise we were this bad. It's very clear that Roeder can neither come up with a game plan or give the team any shape, or motivate the players at all. Picking Shola when he can't move any quicker than a jog is an unbelievable decision. You could almost understand if it was Owen or Shearer, but it's Shola fucking Ameobi!? If anyone still thinks we're too good to go down, they better start thinking again.

By the way, Shola started the game looking like someone who was ready to be subbed. He's so obviously injured and not up to playing a game in the Premiership. If he'd picked up an injury like this during a game, anyone with any sense would sub him. At NUFC you actually start the game with him.

And again, a free kick on the edge of the box, Steven Taylor still coming forward to get up for it, but we take it before he gets there. Taylor is visibly annoyed, and two touches later City have the ball back. Do we even practice this stuff in training?

That free kick from Emre there was a fucking disgrace. I don't know what we're doing letting him take them. He knocks in a decent ball about once in every 10 attempts.

It's been all them so far. Watching it on Sky and they are basically attacking us at will.

This is just too easy for City. 70% possession ffs.

Luque's not on the bench because he's fucking shit and he's got no heart and no fight in him. We're in a relegation battle, and he's in the best place for him.

We're bound to do it again then, aren't we?

If we lose today then it's probably for the best tbh.

Fuck.

Philipe Albert interview on Sky. Class.

Bollocks, he was the KING in Tango and Cash.

I've already given you some perfectly good advice in response to this over on NO.

She's drooling!

Grant and Phil.

Deed. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6138310.stm

He talks about listening to the results on the radio. Doesn't even go to the games man!

Class thread.

Cath's recently grown a little tail to complete the Yorkshire Terrier analogy. But she hasn't learnt how to wag it yet.

Inefficiences at the Inland Revenue? Whatever next?!
