Match Day Thread Newcastle United Vs. Sunderland AFC

You can't open teams up, very worrying indeed

 

All that will matter in the history books is that they won and have the six in a row, More importantly for us we have lost against fellow strugglers. I didn't think it was a pen but can see why it was given, but it was never a red and completely changed the game. The most annoying thing is that I don't have that many complaints with how we played. The performance was completely different to the last five derbies. We were always up against it once the ref changed the game, but I do believe that these things even out in time so not going to dwell on it. Just have to suck it up and take it on the chin. They'll be delighted with the result and we'll be in for a fair bit of stick from them which is fair enough.

 

Apart from the 3-0 at St James, where Sunderland were beyond sensational, the key to derby matches has and always will be flopping over in or around the box when possible.

 

How has this happened again, well either you believe that the ref was wrong or if not, yet again a senior player has let the team down with naive ill disciplined incompetence.
Still not sure which option is right, but whatever it's just crushing.

 

We opened Norwich up okay last weekend. Sometimes it just isn't your day, and that can happen. Had tonnes of chances against your team but didn't take them. Well done to your boys, another win but I'm not too worried.

 

Well that's just bollocks. We had numerous chances, just the erratic finishing of a Tekken 3 button-masher...

 

We need to get shot of Colo stat. Proper defender in January please. Ship Colo out to Argentina and get a new club captain.

 

Looking at the chances created that is hardly the case. Our problem today was not putting away the chances we created. It was your day today (again) so well done, but hardly the case that we didn't open you up and create chances.

 

Na, from what I seen there you aren't gunna survive this season. No goals in you and for all your possession play, don't look dangerous at all.

Stoke next at home who will be looking to bounce back after being defeated against Watford, you could be left behind unless you sort that shower out...

 

We played ok. Giving away points against poor teams like Watford and Sunderland though... It's a sure fire way to get relegated.

Colo getting burned for pace by Fletcher shows that his time is well and truly over. Shame MA decided to prolong the gamble with our continuously neglected defence. Think it's going to backfire on him this time and the £5million saving on signing Matip in Jan rather than the summer wont look quite so tasty when we are staring the loss of all that TV mega cash in the face.

 

Personally, I can see how it was given as a pen, but we have all seen those not given in pretty much every match. John Terry is basically the King of that particular manoeuvre. It's one of those things that by the letter, it's a pen, but in reality everyone just gets on with it. Fletcher's reaction bought it for me, as I think his legs went.

However, red? ****ing no way in hell. It will be rescinded by the panel very quickly. Shame, because Colo is ****

 

6 in a row!!

6 in a row!!

6 in a row!!

 

I have to admit Newcastle played some very pretty football,
once they stop doing that I think they will do very well

 

Colback got it bang on...

 

You see this ref, I've never liked him and have seen make many mistakes before, not just in our games. He is an Anthony Taylor type of Ref. He has to put his stamp on the match if you know what I mean and that 9/10 means a poor decision. He needs to show off his fat face in some form and that grates me.

It was predictable though. We always bottle these games. Sad but will happen for the next couple of seasons.

 

hard luck lads oh dear never mind there's always Sid James's return match

 

Thumbs up and respect its about survival now for both sides

 

6 in a row!!

6 in a row!!

6 in a row!!



We want 7
We want 7
We want 7

 

Our time will come

 

No it's not a pen at all but Fletcher was clever and went down
