The next 3 PL games will define our season.

That was the killer moment for me. Just sheer greed and stupidity from Santon, Cisse had a tap in. Then our tails are up. Of course the soft free kick didn't help but that was when we needed to make our pressure count.

 

For what its worth, I think it was just stupidity and not greed

 

I don't agree about Ba, if he was playing it could just as easily have ended up a rampant victory for Everton, you could see passion in that side last night.

I think if the referee had made all decisions correctly in the game, Newcastle could have easily went 2-0 up and the tackle on Fellaini from Tiote wasn't a foul either so we should have been looking at a comfortable result for Newcastle but swings and roundabouts I suppose given Newcastle's luck at Goodison.

Freddd we'll have to agree to disagree pal, I can't see me changing my stance on the Alan Pardew of 2012/13 so far. It's not necessary to take off players and make all 3 subs, Anita was causing problems for Everton, Tiote was the only recognised central midfielder you had on the pitch. It was just long ball stuff for the last 10-15 minutes and Everton will hoover that **** up all day long, Alan Pardew has to know this stuff it's basic.

 

Happy to leave it like that.
