Howay

12 on target, think we only had 1 on target at half time.

57% possession, 24 shots, 19 corners really don't get where they're seeing that they'll definitely batter us next season. I admit O'Neill has improved them but it's only made them harder to break down they're still shite.

Agree with the comments about playing on the deck more, we look a good side when we do that and players like Cabaye and Tiote come into the game a lot more. We look very very average when we resort to long ball in fact probably below average.

tbf it's nowt to do with it being about us, he's like that against anyone they play. Remember the start of last season? Played: Twice; Sent Off: Twice And they give him captaincy, he seems to have in his head he's some sort of throwback player from the 70's or 80's when really he's just a heed tha baal.

Aye he's an utter liability in defence at all, same as Perch. they do ok in midfield (Taylor is actually quite good there) as they have a back 4 behind them that can clean up their errors but when they're in defence it's only Krul left.

Aye decent was the wrong word.

They're abusing someone for stating Cattermole should be stripped of captaincy, not sure why they disagree he should have been sent off in the 1st half then walked up to the ref and called him a prick after the game hardly cool headed captaincy material. In fact how many times has he avoided being sent off against us? They should do a study on mackem players around derby's I'm convinced something happens in their psyche, Sessegnon probably wont do anything like that again in his career, Cattermole suffers from uncontrollable rage when he takes to the pitch against us and their half decent players (Richardson, Larsson and McClean) drop to the levels of Turner and co. After reading a bit of them chatting shit they all seem utterly convinced that Bardsley would have silenced Ben Arfa, no idea where this comes from he's looked nothing but utter shite any time I've seen him play.

Imagine if we'd scored a winner btw the draw alone has been a proper Tyson right hook to the collective Mackem temple a brace from Shola would have been like a sledgehammer.

"It's him again, I hate him, the stupid fucking idiot" it's class man, they know the feelings mutual as well he's a force of nature against them. Another post was along the lines of he could have 1 leg and still score past us and it's true.

While they have a player sent off AFTER the whistle, btw the thread you linked too is utter gold the moment we scored man 15 posts of "fucking hell him again" Shola must be walking on air now he should take over as manager for both derby games from now on.

PMSL it's like saying Spurs 'edged' us the other game man, it was an annihilation 2nd half we had 19 corners in that game, 19!!.

Champers and blue pop eh. It's all very good reading over there like, what's their obsession with class btw it's all they seem to go on about if we'd humped them 10-0 today they'd of all went "I'd rather be a mackem and have class rather than win 10-0 and be a classless Geordie". They line up with Cattermole and have O'niell giving it the franky dettori anytime they do owt and they talk about class .

The bloke's a phoney like, done a decent job at Porto but that doesn't say a lot. Mourinho winning the CL with Porto showed he was a top manager, AVB isn't anywhere near his class despite Abramovic clearly thinking he was Mourinho mk2. Mental they paid £15m to get him as well.

I think Ba was. Shola was just onside. If they try that angle, we should have had a definite second penalty but it wasn't given. As for O'Neill... kudos to Pardew for winding the little fucker up! Aye they can't have complaints about the game tbh (despite them having about 10 different excuses from calling us a black and white stoke, cheats etc) we controlled the 2nd half and should have went through Ben Arfa from when he come on rather than trying to force Jonas to be our main creator. Thoroughly deserved the win and they were lucky to draw as like you say the pen should have been re-taken and we should have had at least 1 more.

Definately onside like, Ba looked like he was in an offside position. Since they're both black I don't expect mackems to know the difference.

They really are quality like, we were fucking shite according to them before the whistle now we're Goliath and their lot are some sort of David figure, I mean it's true but they'd of went mental at the thought of that 2 hours ago.

Howay then Rhys what's your crack? still going to win the FA cup despite losing your only player?

When is there not, the panda pops were ready for an F1 style spraying but Shola was having none of that. Chuffed their 2 'best' players get nice long suspensions, Cattermole can't seem to avoid being sent off against us. 4 points from the tramps is fine in my book like.

Nah totally forgot that like.

Probably right, if the ref hadn't been a complete dick too. That said I can't help thinking we might have been better with a big lad like Shola on from the start instead of Cisse, sure the lads just getting his feet though. ... oh, and Happy Birthday Howay Aye agreed, Shola should start every derby as he's unbeatable in them . We should have had about 3 pens and the one we did have should have been re-taken dont know what the lineman was doing. Cheers mate wasn't going to be a good one until Shola saved the day, can live with 1-1 despite how dominant we were 2nd half.

Aye he murdered them today and deserved a goal, some of his skill was incredible. The co-commentator on ESPN was fucked in the head mind "he should swap Richardson for Bardsley because Ben Arfa is showing Richardson up" aye because Bardsley would stop that .

Ben Arfa looked class like, honestly reckon if that was a steve bruce side we'd of put 4 past them 2nd half.

Deserved a win there like, utter shower them lot. Ameobi done the business again should have took the Pen too tbh. Cattermole cannot avoid getting a red card against us can he pissing myself laughing when I saw that, that's them out the FA cup like and 2 other losses no Sessegnon either.

It's nowt more than their 'get out' clause, if we hump them they'll give it the "we're focused on the cup you sad mag twats, FTM" but if they somehow win we'll not hear the end of it until we hump them next season.

O'neill jumping in his trackys.
