Post-match thread - Newcastle v Aston Villa

[Corleone]

oh well, there's always bob brannan or whatever his name is

[phantom limb]

Absolutely disgraceful. Poor all over the pitch. Embarrassing and ashamed. To be beaten by that team 6-0 is horrendous. Inexcusable. Dire. What a fucking shower of shit.

SIX!

Shit, I turned it off at 4-0. Fuck it, let's buy some players.

[Percy McCarthy]

I'm coming round to MON's critics' way of thinking. Tactics, substitutions, Luke Young, entertainment. Those are the main things.

[andyh]

We need MON back....

So we can sack the fucker

Thank you. That has raised a smile.

[Rob Gee]

Never seen a game turn on a penalty miss so bad.

I honestly think if we'd scored that we'd have gone on to win.

That said from that moment on we were awful.

[armra1972]

Bloody awful.  What or where was our defence, and can we please try and employ a striker that can be arsed....Carew was back to his usual loping self, barely mustering the effort to walk.

[eastie]

Now randy get your arse into gear and get us a decent manager instead of the cheap option.

Sven or jol but not bob fuckin Bradley!

[Matt Collins]

Very worrying. Felt in every way like a David O'Leary era performance. Some nice football to begin with,  some early chances, but what followed was an absolute shambles. Completely dominated in the air, outfought, and way way to open in midfield.

The lack of team spirit 2 games into the season is a big concern. And the sooner Collins and Cuellar are fit the better. MON, for all his faults, didn't produce many performances like that.

Our youngsters didn't exactly look ready for week in week out action did they? Albrighton clearly has lots of attributes, but I'm not yet sure whether he has the real class needed. Clark and Warnock's performances just reminded me so much of the Ridgewell days!!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We were beaten by a physically stronger Newcastle side, not only in midfield but all over the pitch. Despite the result, I'm not too concerned providing we address the issue.

Our midfield today were just too weak. Downing, Albrighton, Ireland and the ever slower Petrov just can't tackle. We were not prepared for a battle. We'll continue to be a soft touch until we address this issue.

[Toronto Villa]

I said that under MON you would rarely feel the true highs, but you'd also rarely feel the true lows. We have kind of felt both in the last two league games. We may have to get used to this in the post MON era.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

That was extremely embarrassing when it went to 3-0. The players should all be fined wages for just giving up.

If Carew had scored the penalty, it could've quite easily been a repeat of last week...but he didn't.

As shit as it turned out, we play like we did for the first 30 mins then we'll win a hell of a lot more than lose.

[Monty]

I don't actually believe it. I suspect this is going to be our season - brilliant one week, ridiculously poor the next.

[supertom]

Jesus I turned off at 4.

6 fricking 0!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sven, save us!!

Hell, Curbs...fucking save us!!!

[BannedUserIAT]

I just can't believe what I've just witnessed!
I understand that Newcastle, first game at home in the premiership after being promoted were always going to be up for this. Add to that the revenge they'd want for the game we put them down. But, BUT, what. The. Fuck. Was. That?

I just cannot draw any positives from that. Not one.
Utter, utter, shit.
Had this been our first game instead of the West Ham win, there's be an awful lot of people putting us down for relegation candidates.

This had better be nothing more that a very bad day at the office.

[Percy McCarthy]

I don't actually believe it. I suspect this is going to be our season - brilliant one week, ridiculously poor the next.

I hope it's that good.
