Strange game to watch this. Loved the graft after going down. Joelinton could very well be the next Makelele. Other ones that were decent were Fede and the full backs I thought. There was little other encouragement quality wise. We are truly shite. Says a lot about Norwich too, we rarely looked in trouble and both the red card and goal were self inflicted. What can you say, not sure how to feel. Not a bad effort getting a point playing nearly the whole game a man down but you can't shake the feeling that WE ARE FOOKED.

Thats just about what everyone is saying isn't it and part of what I mean by saying it might be too much to ask. Hey the good thing is because the current crop is so shite we should still be able to improve and get better football even if we're cut adrift.

It's going to take a massive turn of events for us to survive now including a massive transfer window and lots of results going our way to keep us in touching distance come January. I know the effort today was positive, but the lack of quality was also apparent once again. It just looks like asking too much even with the new regime's resources.

Yup, the drop looking ominous now. More so because of the standard of players we have than the point difference at this stage.

Unbelievable. When everyone has been underlining the importance of this game, he does that after 11 minutes. Hope thats the last we ever see of Clark,

The weight the toss holds continues to be one of the most infuriating things about cricket.

Really hope the Kiwis can finally do them over. But yeah, they're going to win arent they Bloody pissed like, its fair enough going down to good batting, and Wade played brilliantly at the end. But you cant drop a sitter of the danger man in a semifinal and expect to get away with it. Criminal stuff and sad way to end the tournament.

Fucking Hassan Ali dropped the whole tournament there basically. FFS Cant do that at this level and get away with it. Well played Wade.

Ooof, been saying a lot of 'us' and 'we' lately in the post takeover excitement. Remembered a really old argument on here from out of nowhere. Funny how the mind works.

This is the key isn't it. Special treatment for everything Newcastle, and we saw that with the Bruce sacking as well. They can all bugger right off. We're in the best place we've been for years, despite being 5 points off safety Brilliant seeing the energy brought in by Howe already. Get the whole place galvanized and reach January in a salvageable position, when we can piss off a few more people and clubs in the transfer market

Always have had an edge over New Zealand in major tournaments, but goes the other way around when it come to Australia Should be another good game though. Just hearing about a flu outbreak, Rizwan and Malik in danger of missing out ffs.

Brilliant seeing Bruce's shattered face at the end there though.

Ooof. I thought that would go down to the last ball. Jordan bottled it big time, but the death bowling in general was off. Asking for them to hit it out of the park and they duly complied.

We're all pissed but that's harsh like. How much can he do with this lot in his second game? Not starting Clark and Shelvey would be a start mind

More of the same till January at least. This lot is absolutely hopeless. If Howe can win a game or two with them it'll be a bonus.

It's boys v men everytime you see this lot. I know Bruce has a big hand in their condition today but I won't be sorry to see the whole lot of these chucked out bar ASM and Wilson. Sorry footballers but they don't even seem to care much.

What a moron Clark is. Absolute liability alongside Lascelles. How bad could Schar and Fernández be to not be picked over them ffs?

Its early and with the state of the club it was always going to take some time to put the right structure in place for any new ownership. Having said that, the way business has been conducted so far by PCP doesnt fill you with confidence. We need to do a shiteload of work in the transfer market soon, hopefully they will have gotten their act together by then and gotten rid of Charnley.

He's now saying Emery will reject the approach, apparently because we don't have the right people leading the club.

Cricket governance has been farcical for years now, and the BCCI has been maneuvering politically and economically for years to crush Pakistan cricket. This was a major fuck you Bloody over the moon. Sport finally seems to have turned a corner, all around

The fact that he also doesn't have an absolutely shit record helps and a welcome change from recent times.

Mourinho's fall over the years has been remarkable. Haven't watched many of Fonseca's teams, going on what's out there to read though seems like he could be someone to lead a bit of a project. You'd think it would be a bit of a gamble considering he has no experience in England but then a fresh face with new ideas is just what this team needs. Restart football for this sorry lot in the squad, just enough to try and get to a tenable situation in January.

The next few months are going to be very tough without a doubt. But what a wonderful feeling to have the last of the poisonous toads gone from the club. How wonderful that Steve Bruce is no longer associated with NUFC. Kinnear, Carver, McClaren, Pardew, Bruce. No more. Mike Ashley, no more. Been looking up fixtures and what to subscribe to for games. Cant remember the last time I did that, barely knew who's streaming Premierleague games here

What jumped out at me was there's not a mention of footballing development or learning, not a word of the sort. Even from a guy who apparently likes him. That's how inept the man is.
