Howay

How right you were.

Cut me deep there Banshee.

Hasn't Welbeck only got 1 goal? What a joke. Bad craic Michu isn't on there like the blokes been cracking all year. Bale will win the award anyway continuing the jizzfest over him.

imagine seeing someone wearing that.

Pmsl Ant, I notice he miss spelt the work school in his information on where he attended school... Unless its just called scool there

Shite news, feel for the bloke like always comes across as a good lad. Canny enough on the field too, like others have said he's the best dead ball kicker we've got.

Odd that they say this is a hard forum to read, theirs gives me a migrane everytime I look at it. Not the first time a bunch of mackems have come out with deluded shite though is it? Let them have their day in the sun, it's time to start coming out with "you're still talking about it?" as that's what they did the day after the 4-1 and 5-1. Think of how shite this is now and imagine it at least once if not twice a year for your lifetime, no wonder they're rabid the absolute hotchers.

That's about the crux of it. Especially for the wage Pardew is supposedly on.

Our grandchildren will have this rubbed in their faces too tbh.

Depressing tbh. Never felt more confident ahead of a derby game in my life, like many have said it seems the players felt likewise. I'll never make that mistake again.

I think it's like J69 has mentioned a lot of it is down to the deep position he's been given. He plays further up the field for France and that's his best position, I'm also worried that he's getting sulky and wants off mind rumours of bids coming from Man utd for him and he was given captaincy when Jonas was vice captain smacks of an attempt to placate him. I understand he's a better choice for captain than Jonas probably is but it just seems odd that he leapfrogged the vice captain.

Krul out for the season with a dislocated shoulder, shite.

Pretty similar myself, I don't think he deserves all the blame today as the players definitely have to take some flak themselves. I'm just getting tired of never looking like a good side given the players we have. We've barely put in a good 90 minute performance all season (Can't really think of many at the moment anyway), it's like someone mentioned before we've never been good going forward under Pardew and this season it's really shown. We basically rely on Sissoko or HBA to pull off some magic or Cisse to score a ridiculous finish. He was outdone by Paolo Di Canio today, at home, with better players it's embarrasing. Again he's not solely to blame like I say I think if our goal had stood we could have went on to win it as the momentum was in our favour and heads definitely dropped after that and the Krul injury, which in itself is odd given that in recent weeks we've not been giving up on games. I struggle to remember a Newcastle team look so uninterested in a derby match tbh. Another thing with Pardew is at times he seems to play into peoples hands, starting Marvaeux a player who everyone knows struggles with teams that close down quick against a team we all knew would close us down all day was odd. We can argue all day about how he's been left out to dry after we didn't re-invest much in the summer but regardless we had better players in every position than they did today, we were at home and we got humiliated. Like I've said I've defended the bloke for a long time but I'm growing tired of it.

Aye it was clear as day exactly what he was doing, if we'd closed them like they closed us it wouldn't have been a problem.

Agreed, he epitomized our lot today in that instance. A pathetic pass attempt and then jogging back rather than busting a gut to get back, then half thinking about bringing him down before bottling it.

Probably the truest thing you've ever typed. Our lot showed no heart, after a week of hearing about how up for this all the players were we looked like we were playing a friendly. Has anyone heard anything about Krul yet? I'm fearing a fracture of a break, it didn't look good the way he was holding it when he went off.

Spot on, Pardew was hardly to blame for Jonas' embarrassing pass attempt that led to their first, or the linesman calling a perfectly onside goal offside and an offside one onside. We've been fucked over, combination of shite play and shite officiating. Shite performance all around, Pardew included but he doesn't shoulder 100% of the blame. Now we'll never hear the end of this for the next 20 year.

Because them two never put in any dirty challenges, pair of fucking jokers. Like you say Gouffran went to turn him and Johnson stuck his foot there, he was up quick enough to take the kick himself anyway. Regardless Rose went in two footed that's worse.

Webb can fuck right off mind, Rose gets booked for a two footer and Taylor gets booked for going for a 50/50 he's perfectly entitled to. They're a right bunch of diving pricks in all.

Honestly it's mental just how true the cycle is.

Good performance by the lads, and good tactics by Pardew trying to overcome a superior side from a losing position. We come close in all, agree we lost the game in Portugal. Very impressed with how we performed against a side of that level tbh, hope we show our quality on sunday

Benfica are on another planet altogether ability wise compared to the shite the mackems call footballers.

Aye he's got great spirit, even when it's not working out for him he never shys away. Agree with J69 that because of the way he plays he's going to be offside a lot but he'll create a lot of 1 on 1's because of this. Glad he's finding form.

To be fair Pardew seems a canny passionate manager, his reaction to the winner against Fulham showed that. Without their spoilers like Gardener and Cattermole to drag the game down to a kicking match I think they'll struggle massively with us.

The only chance I see them scoring from is either a free kick around the box from Larson, or a pen. They're a woeful team going forward, the delusion from them never surprises me I remember after the 5-1 they were saying they'd win the next one 6-0 "because the mags won 5-1" not really sound logic.
