When you've had leads in your last two home games and then conceded 90th min goals in both to drop points, how would you expect the reaction to a 90th min winner to go exactly?

Honestly, what match were those twats watching ? The response i've heard and had from Spurs fans i know, redknapp etc has been baffling. enrique had lennon in his pocket all day apart from one time towards the end of the game, we controlled the possesion battle and while we didn't test gomes too much, given had fuck all to do. i feel we deserved to nick it and it's so much sweeter to do it against these twats when they react the way they have been to today. as said before, god knows what game they were watching. Funny, it must have been somone else who got booked in the first half. Wow, all hail Lennon. Point still stands, Enrique had the better of him, yet two spurs fans i work with have been lauding lennon's performance

about time we done someone in the 90th min. quality from viduka that ameobi couldn't even dream of having

i didn't realise how bad fergie's record vs mourinho was....1 win in 12 games!!! FORZA INTER

When I ask anyone for their most hated teams, after naming the local rivals, usually the next club to follow is the Spuds.

he's had some rotten luck with injuries. shame, as he's looked a very good talent when i've seen him play, but i doubt he'll ever reach full potential now due to the nature of his injuries

As I said earlier in the week, we owe these lot after the draws they've scammed off us recently. Please can we deliver our first tonking of the season today!!!

he's been our best player this season for me. I was even calling for harper to remain no.1 after the end to the season he had, but shay has really found his top form again after the harewood incident.

we get a point against the league leaders and come the end of the weekend's games we could still end up in the bottom 3 we owe boro one, they have scammed so many draws against us in the last few years. desparately need that 1st away win of the season, just so that doesn't play on the players minds later in the season

watching the live footy, followed by the nfl. a nice 11/12 hour stretch of sport.

Rather we just did the obvious.....drop duff and play charlie. no money has to be spent and the team improves. football is so simple at times.

Is it negativity? or being realistic? they have the league's top goalscorer, craft in midfield we can only dream of and again a defence we can only dream of. the only department we match them in is with the goalkeepers and i suspect shay is going to be particularly busy. yes theres a chance of a result, which is why you play the game, but at the end of the day we're playing the favourites for the league on their own patch, which just happens to be the ground which boasts a ridiculous record of one defeat in four years.

Don't get me wrong, a good pair of back-to-back victories, however I'd like to see us do it away from home. we were decent at old trafford and goodison, but deserved to lose at upton park, the emirates and staidum of *****. it's imperative we carry on this form and we should be looking at going to craven cottage and getting all three points as more than achievable. I went to the game their last year and I think we had geremi and milner on either wing, compared to duff and jonas this coming sunday, so i'm hoping for a much better game than the horror show of last year. obviously 1-0 barton 90th min will do me again. lets hope for some better results on saturday this time as it's quite conceivable we'll be in the bottom 3 again come kick-off on sunday!

See youre confused again Tom. Its the media who claim Spurs will be challenging for top 4. then say it was the spurs fans who predicted it when it goes so horribly wrong. I would have thought you would have realised by now that the media dont always tell the whole truth. Or is it only Newcastle they tell lies about. Not so true. The three Spurs fans I work with all were talking top four in the summer. I have a £250 bet with one of them that they wouldn't finish in the top four (he claimed you'd be third behind man utd and chelsea). Why lie? Exactly, why would I?

Really irritating we left Butt on so long as he was clearly struggling for ages. especially irritating seeing as his foul cost us the game =/ even more irritating was geremi fucking up for the 2nd goal on the near byline. he should be nowhere near the team on tuesday now with the players we have back, i dont care if he got the assist.

once the new owners come in and sort out the manager situation, the 2nd thing on the list should be owen's contract. a slight increase in wage and 2-3 year extension to his current deal could see him stay.

how lucky we are that vinnie's filming schedule wont interfere

What were Given's comments?

1-3 to rovers. i'm usually an optimist at home, but we really haven't got a selection headache with our starting XI.

to be fair, i dont think the team we had out on wednesday could have done much better. that's how bad our injury situation is and is in direct relation to ashley and his teams reluctance to properly strengthen the squad in the summer. of the starting line-up, i'd only have owen, given, coloccini and n'zogbia starting in my ideal starting eleven.

This is my problem with the media though. They haven't just started to kick us while we're down, they've been doing it constantly for years now. Some of it is brought on by the club, with the managerial sackings and appointments, the bowyer and dyer incident, signing barton, bellamy's misgivings etc. As mentioned in the original post, the generalisation of Newcastle fans is what i find most ridiculous. Constantly people at work or friends will say "you lot only want keegan or shearer in charge", "you'd rather lose 4-3 than win 1-0" and "why would you rather win the f.a cup than the league". I can ignore the media saying it, but when people around you believe this crap and put it to you i feel like i have to defend us as the natural reaction. i'd be happy with an elephant in charge if he got us silverware, i'd rather win 38 league games 1-0 and personally i'd rather win the league than the f.a cup. of course some of our fans' opinion will vary slightly, but the media's constant attacking of our club has got the majority of the country into this mindset that we're a delusional set of fans. every club has the sky sports mongs, the optimists, the pessimists, but we more than others seemed to be generalised. the numerous reference to our attendances this season has been ridiculous too. we had 48,000 against bolton in the height of the holiday season where ticketing problems had occurred and the credit crunch is looming over everyone's heads. that was the highest attendance in the country that weekend, yet it was made out like we had 10,000 at the game. then we have wednesday's carling cup game, where yes, 32,000 empty seats is a lot. the current english and european champions had 24,000 empty seats and current premier league high flier's like aston villa and portsmouth had gates of 21,000 and 15,000 respectively and everything is very rosy at their clubs compared to what has gone on at ours.

Not only was it sentiment and romance but it was showing signs of actually being a good footballing decision, though I'm beginning to think that that was more through luck than judgement on the board's behalf. What you said. After the first five or six games I was seriously worrying about relegation, and how fate would probably come back to bite us on the arse since we did so well with Keegan the last time. That feeling disipated when he took us on a run which saw us become the form team in the Premiership for about a month and a half. Journalists will go on and on about how his win % was less than Fat Sam's, but the hangover from the BSA era was huge and the fact he turned us around rather than take us down says buckets about KK. He also put pay to the tactically naive rumours by seeing the attributes Owen had, playing him in the hole and giving him the confidence to perform like he used to. It was a masterstoke. We were playing good football and we were winning games under a manager who galvanised the whole city and that was all that mattered. We could've finished top 10 this season and i'd have been happy. Now it looks like we're in for another relegation scrap precisely....i wish the media and general public would concentrate on the last two months of last season and the beginning we made to this season under keegan. it was quite apparent we were making progress.

As mentioned, keegan being here made my life start to almost revolve around newcastle united again, whereas something is definitely now missing. i hope it comes back, but even then i will always find it hard to digest the fact it's going to be so tough for us to challenge for any honours. with keegan i actually thought we had a genuine chance in the cup competition's with a good draw. as an example, since the keegan saga began the NFL started again in the USA and the salary cap and draft system has meant the competition is so much greater than in the premier league. i've been watching it over the past four season's and each time there has been a different superbowl winner and the favourite at the beginning of each season has never won it.
