Yeah he dropped a fiver I saw perch pick it up

 

SeanyK is that your comment on the BBC live at 22:08?


Sean, Newcastle on text: "Garbage - Pardew out no more excuses the tactics were awful tonight long ball and no fight - pack your bags and get out of our club."

 

Haha yeah it is! Just seen that now!!

 

Thought It was a good game tonight both sides played well In bursts you guys dont seem to be having the rub of the green lately as It wasnt a freekick having seen It again but I think we Just did enough to shade the win tbh...

 

Hum mm just noticed the poll results.
Those who voted that we would lose this match, are now more than originally cast.
You are supposed to predict the result before the game, not after it, naughty.

 

Fair play, your boys were better than ours (though that isn't saying much), had better tactics and played to their strengths. Good luck for he rest of the season.

 

I haven't voted yet. If I do it now will I be punished?

 

Does anyone know why Colo wasn't coming up for the Everton corners, and free kicks, don't think he did for any in the first half, and only one or so in the second half.

 

Tiote looked mighty pissed when he came off.
Did he storm down the tunnel as well??

 

Sexy poll - hooray! \o/

I'm a serial poster over there

 

tbh can't say I've noticed

 

He did indeed.

I did think Obertan going off was a bit strange, but Tiote is like a man possessed at the moment, seems even more angry than usual, not surprised when he was substituted.

 

****ing Santon you tkskskslalaldfmfdmamakejfnhtlelalaaasmfmfnynym

 

Really random thought.
If Tm Howard has Tourettes which he does..... could he actually be booked for insulting a referee?

It is possible to sell very good footballers and emerge as a serious force in English football. That may be a crumb of comfort to Newcastle’s supporters. There are not many more. Everton continued their excellent season by climbing to fifth place in the Premier League. They will still believe the Champions League is possible.

Everton have sold big in Wayne Rooney, Joleon Lescott and Jack Rodwell in the last decade. It has not broken them, on the contrary in fact. From that, Newcastle, with Demba Ba ready to be unveiled as a Chelsea player, must begin to find hope. It will not come from the statistics. They have now won two of their last 15 games and lost 10 of their last 13.

Alan Pardew got spirit out of his team, who sit two points above the relegation zone. In the same fixture he got three points last season. Newcastle went second that day. Their demise has been quick. Everton matched the spirit and their class told. Leighton Baines was the best player on the pitch. He could so easily have emerged as a hat-trick scoring left-back. His goal, in the 43rd minute was brilliant, a vicious 35-yard free-kick. That cancelled out Papiss Cissé’s second-minute opener. On the hour mark, Victor Anichebe give Everton a lead they never lost.Holding on to good players remains important. Selling goals (Andy Carroll left in the transfer window two years ago and Kevin Nolan went in the summer of 2011) is a dangerous game to keep playing.

At the game’s start it had not seemed so significant. By the end it did. After conceding 11 goals in two games and losing Ba, Newcastle desperately needed a spark to banish a glowing sense of gloom descending in these parts. Few sets of followers in England work quicker to the mantra of the king being dead and toasting the new one than the Toon army. Ba was yesterday’s man before yesterday had even come.

Cissé, who has retreated into his shell this season as his fellow countryman has re-emerged as one of the most effective targetmen in England, needed to alleviate his own clouds of doubt. But not even he, or Pardew, who is aware of the increasing seriousness of this season, could have foreseen a goal with 80 seconds of this game.

John Heitinga put through his own goal in the corresponding fixture between these sides last season. He did not repeat the feat last night but he was equally as culpable for the goal that arrived in approximately the 73rd second. The simplicity will have stunned David Moyes. Tim Krul smashed a free-kick from inside his own goal, on an angle, to the heart of the Everton defence. Heitinga did not deal with it, to the surprise of every other Everton defender, and Cissé reacted to loop a header over Tim Howard.

Forty seven seconds later, once the home supporters had stopped celebrating, came the chant: “Are you watching Demba Ba?”.

It was a rallying start from United. In the fourth minute Shola Ameobi, Ba’s direct replacement in last night’s game, crossed from deep on the left and Cissé came close to a decisive touch as the ball fizzed through the Everton six-yard area.

It was a surprise to see Everton so rattled. But almost inevitably, for a side built on spirit by Moyes over a decade, they would clear their heads. By half-time, they were level, and it was a wonderful strike from the England left-back Baines. Marouane Fellaini had gone down under challenges from Fabricio Coloccini and then Cheick Tiote to earn a free-kick, some 35 yards from the Newcastle goal.

Baines had given warning of his ability from such situations earlier in the half with a superb, curling effort that Krul reached at full stretch to his left. The second effort, however, two minutes before half-time, comfortably outshone the earlier strike, Baines this time going for vicious power, and his rising drive crashed into the Newcastle goal. It was a deserved equaliser.

Krul had conceded 11 goals in his two previous outings, at Manchester United and Arsenal, but it did not show. He denied Steven Naismith in the 23rd minute, he was well protected by his central defender Mike Williamson as Fellaini broke through 60 seconds later and, in the 32nd minute, he did excellently to deny Steven Pienaar’s shot when the midfielder came at him one-on-one.

By then Newcastle had hit the woodwork. Vurnon Anita had crossed and James Perch’s glancing header had clipped the near post of Tim Howard’s goal.

They came close to regaining their lead in the 58th minute, Sylvain Marveaux’s pass finding Ameobi, who took a touch deep in the visitors’ penalty area and, with the outside of his foot, sneaked a shot slightly wide.

Two minutes after that effort, Everton were ahead. Fellaini touched to Nikica Jelavic, he went past Coloccini and crossed low into the Newcastle penalty area where Anichebe, a substitute who had been on the field for less than two minutes, proved too quick for Davide Santon and fired past Krul.

To their credit, Newcastle, a team on a dismal run, responded. Gabriel Obertan raced through on the Everton right and drilled a low shot at Howard. In the 68th minute Marveaux crossed from the right, Cissé saw his first header blocked by Heitinga and as he lay on the ground his second effort was stopped by Howard.

In response Everton could have had a third when a deflection looped up from Fellaini and only a finger-tip saved from a back-peddling Krul, who tipped the ball over his crossbar, kept the goal difference to one.

Man of the match Baines.

Match rating 7/10.

NEWCASTLE UNITED remain engulfed in a relegation battle in the Premier League after going down 2-1 on home turf against Everton.

The Magpies put up a fight against the Toffees and despite grabbing an early lead dropped three more points as their top flight struggle continues.

Before the game the talk had been all about the departure of Demba Ba to Chelsea.

But with just 81 seconds on the clock, it was his fellow countryman who almost raised the roof at St James’ Park.

Newcastle looked like a side that meant business when Tim Krul lumped a long ball into the box and Papiss Cisse headed the ball over Tim Howard to open the scores.

Moments later Shola Ameobi crossed from the left but Cisse was only inches away from connecting with his centre.

The start of the game was an incident packed affair but Newcastle had Krul to thank after palming away Leighton Baines’ free-kick with a great stop.

On 10 minutes Vurnon Anita’s throw caused havoc on the right hand side and John Heitinga’s wayward clearance forced Howard to palm the ball away from danger.

On the half hour mark Newcastle came close to doubling their lead when Vurnon Anita’s free-kick from the left was headed against the post from James Perch with Howard rooted to the spot then.

Two minutes later and Everton broke down the left channel and Steven Pienaar forced Krul into a magnificent block after carving open a presentable opportunity.

Shola Ameobi felt he had a decent shout for a penalty when upended by Phil Neville five minutes before the interval.

But ref Martin Atkinson was having none of it.

However, Everton were level on 44 minutes when the Toffees won a free-kick.

And despite being more than 30 yards out Krul had no chance when Baines spanked the set-piece crashing into the net.

The two sides went in level at the break.

Yet United went straight for the jugular in the second period and Heitinga upended Shola Ameobi two minutes into the second half.

However, Sylvain Marveaux’s free-kick crashed against Phil Neville in the wall.

Everton went ahead on the hour when Nikica Jelavic crossed from the left and sub Victor Anichebe slid home to put the visitors in front.

Newcastle hit back when Gabriel Obertan made a driving run down the left before firing a shot which Howard had to turn away for a corner.

United poured forward with 22 minutes left with Anita crossing from the right after a Newcastle break but Cisse’s diving header was blocked.

Moments later Shola Ameobi made space before firing over with his left foot as Newcastle tried hard to force the issue.

Williamson’s sliced clearance had to be pushed over the bar by Krul three minutes later.

United weren’t making life easy for themselves and Baines could have added to his tally with 13 minutes to go when Fellaini won another free-kick – only for his effort to curve wide of the target.

Davide Santon forced a save out of Howard with eight minutes to go but Everton were digging in.

NEWCASTLE UNITED: Krul, Perch (Ranger 86), Coloccini, Williamson, Santon, Anita, Tiote (Sammy Ameobi 80), Obertan (Bigirimana 66), Marveaux, Cisse, Shola Ameobi.

EVERTON: Howard, Baines, Heitinga, Distin, Jagielka, Pienaar, Osman, Neville, Fellaini, Naismith (Anichebe 58), Jelavic

Why would he insult the referee, Everton got some odd descisions in their favour tonight.

 

Hi LTF... it's a hypothetical question that's all.
I'd guess that he is allowed to get away with it (quite rightly) as he wouldn't be doing it out of choice. Just a strange thought I had.

 

I could never imagine you having a strange thought my friend, all joking aside, you have just reminded me of his condition, I'm sure I heard this week he hasn't missed a premier league game for five seasons, what an achievement.

 

By all accounts he is a top bloke
