ULSTER MAG

Happy New Year from across the Irish Sea, shite evening made easier by a bottle of Wild Turkey Bourbon. Might just end my exile from games soon.

Looks like Sterling has got of with throwing a punch in last nights game while Shelvey has been charged. Typical FA response.

Carver, Stone and the rest of the coaching staff need to go too, totally inept.

Pulis in talks with WBA, that's a relief! Doubt a permanent manager will be brought in until end of the season, good enough excuse not to spend in January.

Only ones responsible for the defeat today were that fuckwit Pardew and our owner Ashley. Not many players came thru today with any plaudits, Perez apart, tactics, too much ball watching and not tracking runners let us down.

Where's Chucky?

Entire team stinks, no where near good enough apart from the odd individual performance.

Saving Armstrong for the next game I presume.

Absolutely no tracking back from our midfield for both goals, for the first Rooney walked past Sissoko and Vernon. Whilst they have 4 world class attacking players up front, we've to make do with a kid and a 21 year old in his first season ffs. Roll on full time, hope there's not much more damage 2nd half.

Perez going to be lonely today.

Heavy defeat, mandatory soft penalty/sending off, coupled with Pardews post match excuses will not make for good viewing whilst munching through yet another big feed. Thankfully not at the in laws this time....

Pardew hasn't a clue how to set up against teams that play a similar system to us. They were always going to get a few chances on the break. Our end of season slump has began earlier this year.

Decent first 15min, devoid of ideas since that and lucky not to be behind. Sissoko looked hurt end of the half. Tiote a fucking liability.

Give both a miss then!

Is it that bad really?

Thinking of buying either Drive Club or the Crew, anyone played these?

You can Cabella to them pics, reckon he will never make it.

Keeper and all the back 4....

Win this and least we'll get a home game in a cup this season! Williamson starting so I can't see us getting thru.

Feel sorry for Alnwick, not anywhere near good enough, but having Williamson in front of him won't give him any confidence.

Going to be 4 or 5 here, can't get hold of the ball at all.

Perez and Sissoko our only hopes of taking anything today, gouffran offers little, tiote not half the player he used to be.

Hope Colo and Taylor start, reckon Carroll would bully Williamson and Dummett. Hopefully nick a point, couple of lads from Belfast over that I know, 3am start for them this morning.

Finally got round to ordering the new ps4 last night, collecting it tomorrow. Got Far Cry with it, not sure what else I'll buy for it. Just completed GTA V on the PS3 so don't think I'll bother getting it.

Peter Beardsley's side were due to face the Potters at Macclesfield Town's Moss Rose on Friday, 14th November. But the match has now been moved forward by 24 hours and switched to the Britannia Stadium. The game will now be played on Thursday, 13th November with a 7pm kick-off. So is it Thursday or Friday? Or possibly Saturday if it's "moved forward"? Must have someone in on work experience again.
