End of game summary: Swansea have better players, a manager people respect, and play good football.
Newcastle are penny pinching ****e.

I'm not going to join in the doom and gloom after 2 games. Last week was encouraging and this week was very disappointing. Janmaat was an idiot. Cost us the first goal with lazy defending and then cost us any hope with the red card - though we would probably have lost anyway. More importantly it destroyed the opportunity for people to learn more about each other playing in the right positions together for 90 minutes.
Very disappointing to see us play without a striker once Cisse went off, but maybe it was the best way for SM to learn something about the team and get defending practice as a team - god knows we need it! Probably clutching at straws on that point
Mitro is a big worry. He needs dropping from the bench for a few games till his head is sorted. Haven't seen anything from him to suggest he's ready for 90 minutes in the first team. At the minute he is a liability. Last week we can put down to excitement, but to risk a red when you're down to 10 is beyond stupid.

Bit harsh on Mitro, he is just a bit Costa i.e. he'll put himself about. Yeah the tackles have been borderline but the ball looks like it will stick. I'd start him and Aarons. I'd also sign a left back and centre back though![]()

Look the first 8-10 games are tough, we all agreed we needed to limit our expectations. Its still early days. Today wasn't great but the red card ended it for us. We def need some reinforcements in certain areas. Swansea are a good team and losing 2-0 is no disgrace but then again they took their foot off the gas and if pushed could have got a few more.
The next two games will stink of Dachau concentration camp.
Enjoy them![]()
I loved the shot of the mint sauce dripping off your ballsx

"it's practically an insult they have to play in a league with the likes of us..."
Yes, it must be awful for you.
