brilliant! you'd think they were more than 3 points above relegation! got me hysterical this thread [video=youtube;hI1nPd7hezM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI1nPd7hezM[/video]
Newcastle were in the game for the first 50mins but after that I have to say it could have been 4 or 5 the way they were opening you up that last half hour. Could fitness be an issue?
Possibly. Mind you, effective substitutions would have helped. Pardew rarely takes the game by the scruff of the neck. He is a reactive manager, not a proactive one.
In all honesty, there is no disgrace in losing to a team that have only drawn 4 games this season and won every other one home and away. They were a class above you but to be fair like I said, you played well for 30 mins and could have been a very different game had Cisse put one of those away? I do think that in striving to get back in the game next week that you could pay the ultimate penalty a week sunday, whilst failing to go through as well which may have the same effect our quarter final defeat did v Everton. Benfica will score next week imo as you look brittle at the back imo without Coloccini. You have goals in your game but not clean sheets.
I have calmed down a bit. I was wrong. Sorry to my fellow toon fans . Had a rough day and this has not helped Coffee is magical stuff!
Looking at our bench tonight, what would you have brought on in place of what he did. Not alot of options there.
can i please say on the eve-eve of the derby I will not converse with THEM unless on family matters, i will be completely divided until after said event, in the forthcoming 2 weeks, prior to event (all mags should disintergrate or spontaniousley combust in this period of time) and if this happens? i'm back in the game. otherwise just FTM
There are no neutrals in the NE though? I think PDC will inject some sparkle into the occassion but noit sure yet whether it will be a positive sparkle or a negative one. Lol Sorry kidda but do you really think he is out with an injury? His head is shot to pieces and tbh, I really do hope him and handball play together as I'd be happier for us to get something.
We will see him play again this season. Although I don't think he should get straight back in. I like mbiwa. But I can't fault colo when he has played since jan.
Colo of last season is indispensable. the one I saw playing in the 2 or 3 games before his 'injury' was a liability. I'd be happy to play against that Colo mate. I still have you as firm favourites for the derby mind, unless the PDC magic works overnight?
Sort of sums the form up of most our team this season though to be honest. No one has been consistent. Blew hot and cold all season.
We've blown luke warm and cold mate at best. Sadly for me as a MoN supporter, it just didn't work out and thats one of my biggest disappointments for nearly 40 years. I only hope PDC can put a bit of fire in there for the last 7 games. We have to get another 6 or 7 points imo to breath easy. You only need maybe 4 or 5.
I think we will both be ok. Always have done. There is a good cluster of teams all scrapping over one relegation slot now. We are included in it but stoke look **** now and Norwich don't look too hot either.
