Classic Taylor.

"Not yet petal - stay upstairs"

Shame that

Jonas gone.

Fair enough be frustrated, but don't be silly about it Debuchy. Nothing to gain from that.

Thankfully Ben Arfa looks to have slimmed down since 'that' picture was taken.

Karma Dzeko.

Don't know about that. M'Biwa got his body in front of Dzeko - there was contact but it was shoulder to shoulder with the Eastern European cunt playing for a foul.

Fuck off Dzeko you fucking pussy, that was not a foul.

Decent cross Jonas

Because they're not particularly great in defense whenever we get the ball we're pushing up too quickly, ultimately conceding possession and gifting more possession back to them.

Inch perfect finish there. Taylor did the right thing in driving him wide.

Although he looks better than the rest Ben Arfa looks well off his best.

Our off the ball movement is very predictable and lazy already

Marveaux would have released the pass earlier keeping Gouffran onside because he's all about the team.

Mazy Ben Arfa run.

Assuming you've changed sides - they look ok to me.

6 minutes and it already feels that we've been battered about haven't settled at all.

And there it is

That really was a great save.

Carving us down their right.

Thank you Krul

For Newcastle supporters it's more like a Christmas where we're reduced to watching other teams supporters open their presents as we've got none of our own.

Fair points all of them. I'd counter that the sport itself isn't broken, but the capitalism of it is. Once the game kicks off it's 11 on 11 and generally the competitive spirit of the players will have them doing near enough their best resulting in what is an entertaining technical sport with plenty of talking points.

Jonas would clearly be the best at that reaction.
