Not sure what Bailey has done wrong.
-
As strong as we can I guess. Bailey for Diaby aside.
Good to see jj on bench
-
Diaby, FFS.
-
I guess we're just going to keep playing Diaby until he does something or quits.
-
Ramsey on the bench is good to see. Cash needs to deal with Gordon and we should have enough to beat these cloggers. Time for revenge!
-
That bench is showing - were a bit thin on the ground
-
A win please.. Newcastle at VP last year was our best game. So let's repeat that.
-
Diaby, FFS.
Diaby scored in first game of season and right side forward do well.v Newcastle.
He's refreshed and I think he'll expose the lumber lump Dan Burn for what he is.!
-
Happy with that line-up, and good to see Ramsey on the bench.
-
So is Torres offically dead?
-
Wow, harsh on Bailey.
It’s a quick hook for Diaby tonight if he’s not up for it.. again. He’s lost in behind Watkins and gets suffocated quickly in the middle of the park. Hopefully he can come good tonight.
We’ve got the stronger midfield and need to expose Trippier.
-
Robin Olsen's back
-
Fine with me. Let Bailey come on to finish the job
-
Weird Bailey isn’t starting but other than that that is what I’d do. Big performance Villa we really need a win, and that’s still a strong Barcodes side.
-
Why Lenglet over Carlos?
-
Why Lenglet over Carlos?
The left side
-
Diaby ffs watch him score 2 goals now
I had a feeling Zaniolo might start . what do I know ..
I thought Bailey was rested for this so maybe he has a knock cause Diaby was shit against Chelski
-

I’d be quite happy to watch him score 2 goals.

More like his passing ability - which while not Pau levels, is way better than Carlos.

The preview on 5live featured commentator Ian Dennis citing two youth players on the bench, one of which recalled from loan as evidence of what Howe is up against in terms of injuries. And the fact that they've being playing in Europe this season. I usually have time for Dennis but this was myopic, biased and thoroughly ill-informed.
Edit: it might not have been Dennis, I think he's on the Woolwich game, anyway the point stands.
I blame the Ibrufren (sic).

The away team hasn't won this fixture in 16 league meetings since Newcastle's 2-1 triumph at Villa Park in September 2013.
Villa can equal their record, set versus Oldham, of seven consecutive top-flight home clean sheets against the same club. It would also match Newcastle's longest run of successive top-flight away games against a single opponent without scoring.
Aston Villa's tally of 13 wins and 43 points is their best record after 21 top-flight fixtures of a season for 125 years.
Villa have the division's best home record so far this season, with 28 points out of a possible 30.
On Tuesday, they could go 18 home league matches unbeaten for the first time since the 1976-77 season. Their most recent league defeat at Villa Park came against Arsenal last February.
Newcastle have lost six of their past seven league matches and could suffer five straight defeats in the division for the first time in three years.
A sixth successive Premier League away defeat would be their worst run since a streak of nine from December 2015 to April 2016.
Their solitary league away win this season was 8-0 at Sheffield United in September. The Magpies have only managed two points and eight goals from their other nine top-flight away fixtures this season.

Fuck off back to The One Show ya c**t

Is Targett injured or does he just collect £20 grand a week to jog about in training?

They did gave a bad spot with injuries but that starting 11 isn't far off full strength. We're the injury sob story now!

He means Jenas.

You'll be happy to know he's on 5x that!

So is Torres offically dead?
Not yet but I saw him earlier catching a Swiss air flight.
-
Fucking Nora.
-

As long as it wasn't Malaysia Airlines we might have him back before the end of the season.
-
I usually have time for Dennis
Even when he says "You can't see the wood for the trees in that Forest defence"?
*I don't mind him either.
-
tielmans should have put watkins in there poor pass
-
Shit start.
-
Shit refereeing already.
-
Just tuning in. Hoping for a good game tonight, worry thay we haven’t been the same since Arsenal but it would be great to see a fluent performance tonight.
-
Shit start.
H&V match thread never fails to disappoint.
-
Shit start.
H&V match thread never fails to disappoint.
Thank you.
-
When i see 17 on the shirt, i still get Trezeguet shivers
-
I don't like our shape so far
-
Will be interesting to see if McCoist pulls himself out from up Newcastles arse as the game goes on.
-
Losing ball too easily when we get in the final 3rd
-
Shit start.
H&V match thread never fails to disappoint.
Who to believe?
You can see from the start that Aston Villa are playing two up front. It will ask questions of the Newcastle defenders. He's very clever is Unai Emery.
-
Just looking at the stats and official text commentary on BBC means I'm unsurprised that we haven't got going yet...
-
Miley owning cash.
Cash needs to bw far better
-
Gone out to watch it and Forest are on at the same time (I’m just outside Nottingham) - got told couldn’t have it on so said I’d go home then. End result, I’ve been smuggled into a function room with a private bog and a remote to myself!
-
We look 2nd best ffs villa
-
Shit start.
H&V match thread never fails to disappoint.
Who to believe?
You can see from the start that Aston Villa are playing two up front. It will ask questions of the Newcastle defenders. He's very clever is Unai Emery.
The only question we've asked so far is "Can we have our ball back please mister?"
-
Banished from my local pub till h/t because a group in there want watch Forest v Arse and they can't split the five screens. I hate myself for it but I'm going to subscribe to Sky and TNT next season...
-
Better
-
Hopefully we've got enough points to stay up
-
Why you passing there?
-
Kamara simply will not finish
-
It’d be nice if we… you know… shot… sometimes
-
Diaby could have done better with that cross
-
Kamara simply will not finish
twice and then loses it
-
Love McGinn sometimes. What a tackle there.
-
Close for Charlie Dimmock.
-
Newcastle should be 1 up. Superb by konsa
-
Emi and Konsa doing a good job there.
-
Our offside trap is all over the place.
-
Shoot ffs
-
why not shoot Diaby
-
Cash has some thighs.
-
Diaby needs to bloody shoot the ball!
-
Diaby no confidence....why is he playing.
-
why not shoot Diaby
He's been poor but that seems harsh.
-
Why the fuck are you not shooting diaby???
-
Why in the f....f..... did you pass Diaby??????
-
why not shoot Diaby
he would have 2 months ago
-
For crying out loud! Shoot!
-
why not shoot Diaby
I knows he's playing shit but that's a bit much. And illegal.
-
why not shoot Diaby
Is that a request?
-
Well done youri
-
FFS Diaby shoot
-
Diaby no confidence....why is he playing.
to get confidence ?
-
Diaby’s confidence was the problem there.
-
Shoot Diaby!
-
Diaby looks pretty low on confidence. Why on Earth would he not shoot there?
-
The offsides have dried up a bit haven't they?
Teams seem to have worked it out now and they're all trying to exploit it.
-
Diaby’s confidence was the problem there.
Dreadful
-
That's a player low on confidence.
-
Diaby needs a goal. Any sort of goal. And his confidence will come back.
But it’s painful at the moment
-
We do seem shot shy. We're very whites of their eyes... Why don't we just shoot when a bit of target becomes available? There are deflections so often
-
why not shoot Diaby
Is that a request?
##I suppose Ill have the police knocking my door tonight now
-
Diaby no confidence....why is he playing.
to get confidence ?
So we sit Bailey instead, makes sense.
-
at least we shoot thou it was weak
-
Bailey is sure to come on later on and be a danger.
-
The offsides have dried up a bit haven't they?
Teams seem to have worked it out now and they're all trying to exploit it.
That and the playing out from the back. I've noticed opposition teams are getting wise to it and not over committing. Maybe time to go something back to being a little more agricultural
-
A shot!!
-
Bailey for Diaby at half time please.
-
Would be nice if Moreno could use his right foot even occasionally. Makes him so one-dimensional.
-
ffs ref free kick
-
That’s what a shot feels like!
-
We are being too ponderous.
-
Diaby no confidence.....
I wonder why that might be.
-
to be honest, our approach play is looking better today
We’re just trying to be too pretty with the goals and walk it into the net.
-
Bailey buries that , Diaby is not worthy of the shirt right now
-
what a block
-
ffs kamara
-
Newcastle should be 2 up.
-
Kamara allergic to scoring goals
-
Oh dear. If that was a striker…
-
It almost feels like Unai is just playing Diaby until he hits form / nabs a goal .... because he cost so much and they cant afford for him to fail ?
-
0-1 Newcastle
-
Watkins needs to make some near post runs for a change
-
konsa good block but they look bloody deadly up front
-
it was coming
-
Look at how newcastle go forward compared to us. Its embarrassing how bad we look compared to them
-
I’m hanging on in quiet desperation (as the Villa way!)… for a PWS shout.
-
shocking defending
-
Bollocks to it.
-
We are dog shit.
-
Totally useless.
-
We are just not the same team as before Christmas.
-
it was coming
Yep.
Could be 3.
-
Our offside trap is a complete mess today.
-
Desperate again. WTF has happened to us since Arsenal?
-
FFS
-
No Pau and playing Diaby is killing us.
-
We’ve been really poor. Defending all over the place and attacking indecisive, we’re losing this game.
-
What the hell has happened to this team?
-
Kamara had to put that ball in the net and its 1 0
gonna get spanked here
-
Absymal
I knew we would fuck this up
-
Cash is also lacking quality going in both directions
-
From a corner. Kind of typical against these twats. Is Ollie Watkins on the pitch?
-
That's been coming, poor defending all day, the line is nowhere, Martinez is strangely hesitant, and Konsa there didn't know where his man was.
Overall we're poor today. Something needs to sort out fast.
-
0-2 Newcastle
-
get Bailey on now
-
Cash is also lacking quality going in both directions
ok did well there
-
ffs 0 2
-
For gods sake!
-
FFS
-
Emery has fucked up here
-
We've not actually played well since the Man City game
-
Desperate again. WTF has happened to us since Arsenal?
Exactly the same crossed my mind.
-
This team won't even finish in the top half. Completely run out of steam
-
Well that's enough for me!
Jesus!! This stinks of old villa. Can't win a game away from home come on down to Villa park
-
Based on what we've seen so far, I'll be very surprised if we get a win today. We don't look like scoring at all.
-
Fuck off villa
-
2-0 was coming, this is fucking appalling. Players aren’t tracking runners, awful display again.
-
I don't want to sound too dramatic but if we don't improve quickly I can easily see this season fizzling and we end up finishing 9th or something
-
FFS - were fucked here. offside surely?
-
Mcoist desperate for it to be a goal cnut
-
Fucking hell. Seriously this is one messed up season. From looking so good, we now look utter Toss.
-
Game over, we could easily ship another 5 here.
-
This is Martin O’Neill in March stuff. This season is going down the pan fast.
-
Champions league we are having a laugh
-
Well that's enough for me!
Jesus!! This stinks of old villa. Can't win a game away from home come on down to Villa park
I hate that shit. Never seems to stop
-
Second to everything, all the fucking time.
-
This is shite and in keeping with all our performances since McGinn's goal vs Arsenal to be honest.
-
And when the luck isn't going your way it isn't going your way. What a shit fucking goal in every conceivable way. Fuck this.
-
Absolutely utter shit. We’ve been falling apart for weeks now. This hasn’t just happened tonight.
-
final ball is awful
-
This sucks.
-
kamara is having a mare
-
Emery has fucked up here
Yet again
-
This is bad. We've been a bit unfortunate with this particular goal but they've looked like scoring all game.
-
And when the luck isn't going your way it isn't going your way. What a shit fucking goal in every conceivable way. Fuck this.
This is not about luck
-
This feels a bit season defining doesn't it...
-
Bouba booked
-
This feels a bit season defining doesn't it...
Stoke...
-
And when the luck isn't going your way it isn't going your way. What a shit fucking goal in every conceivable way. Fuck this.
This is not about luck
No it's not. Thoroughly outplayed and out-fought so far.
-
This team won't even finish in the top half. Completely run out of steam
Surprise, surprise, look who's showed up when we go two down.
-
To lose the home record to this spineless bunch of evil dictator-fellating worms as well. It had to come, but did it have to be against a club that deserves to go out of business and be forgotten?
-
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
-
Arsenal winning now too. Shaping up to be a poor night.
-
Kamara a red coming.
-
Where is this going wrong? Have we run out of energy? Have we been figured out? Have our players been taken over by league table vertigo?
Something has gone horribly horribly wrong here.
-
Weak as piss, this has a MON March written all over it.
-
final ball is awful
Nothing up front to though
-
Only McGinn looks up for it
-
And when the luck isn't going your way it isn't going your way. What a shit fucking goal in every conceivable way. Fuck this.
only happens to us , If we score that its offside , they do and cash makes it on
-
Players started believing their own hype
-
Newcastle all over us just like at their place
-
Shots 1-9. Not going to win many like that, unless you're Maidstone.
-
Almiron on for Isak.
-
get Rogers on , our life saviour
-
Diaby cannot come out second half.
-
The curse of Manager of the Month.
-
Diaby cannot come out second half.
should never have started
I actually think Zaniolo would give more
-
Diaby cannot come out second half.
Watkins may as well stay in the dressing room too. And Tielemens. At least he's coming back from injury.
-
Diaby cannot come out second half.
Not sure he did for the first
-
This is Norwich at home 1990, Coventry at home 1993, Stoke at home whenever that was. Every Fcukin time.
-
Team look like they’ve never met each other. It’s a proper shambles, and we haven’t scored for two games. We are not scoring here.
-
This is Norwich at home 1990, Coventry at home 1993, Stoke at home whenever that was. Every Fcukin time.
Difficult not to see it like that.
We'll see I suppose.
-
We are moving the ball too slowly in midfield. This has crept in during the last few matches. Like all teams that makes us easy to play against.
-
Why don't we see the VAR decision on TV? Fucking duplicitous ******.
-
Everyone in front of Luiz can piss off.
-
My fear with Emery is that analysis is great, but it can squeeze the creative life out of you when all you have is the plan.
-
The joy we all felt after the back wins over City and Arsenal. It was supposed to be different this time. But we're Villa
-
Most be our worst half at home since before Emery
-
Is it half time yet?
-
Diaby cannot come out second half.
Yep, needs some time out.
Hoping we have a Plan B as Plan A has been figured out. Early ball to centre forward is cut out, so we have periods of sterile possession instead. I'm thinking we should catch them cold second half and get two out wide hugging the touchline. Bailey and Ramsey on for Diaby and Tielemans.
-
from the first minute it looked like one of those typical shite performances
-
Where is this going wrong? Have we run out of energy? Have we been figured out? Have our players been taken over by league table vertigo?
Something has gone horribly horribly wrong here.
The glib response is that after half a season of being a good team, we realised who were and have turned back into Typical Villa.
But the energy levels are not there, and the movement up front is back to Gerrard levels for some reason.
-
We have absolutely nothing up front, nothing , no movement no intent no one offering anything
-
The joy we all felt after the back wins over City and Arsenal. It was supposed to be different this time. But we're Villa
Well that was your first mistake - feeling joy.
-
We may as well crack on with building the North Stand lol
-
We need the chaos of Duran.
-
they dont normally flag that quick ffs
-
We lost the ability to defend, keep the ball and break with pace.
-
We've been well and truly sussed.
-
I'll take Europa League at this stage. Even Conference next season.
Champions League, you're having a laugh...
-
Is Watkins actually playing? And has he done anything at all yet?
-
Emery out.
-
they dont normally flag that quick ffs
and it wasn't offside
-
More fucking cheating, putting the flag up straight away. ******.
-
Why the hell did the assistant ref raise the flag?
-
Where is this going wrong? Have we run out of energy? Have we been figured out? Have our players been taken over by league table vertigo?
Something has gone horribly horribly wrong here.
Torres missing. Lenglet playing.
-
We lost the ability to defend, keep the ball and break with pace.
50% off that is out injured. Losing Torres has been a crushing blow.
-
A few players have been pretty poor for six weeks now, it was always coming to roost at some point, here's that point, time for management to really start earning the corn.
-
HT
-
should score
-
Let's be honest, we're clearly not as good a team as we thought we were.
It has taken the absence of one player - Torres - to destroy the way we try to play, and we don't have any other way of playing.
We're just not that good.
-
7-1 down on aggregate.
-
The goals have dried up for us and we've been very ordinary since Christmas. Really poor half that.
-
Shite Unai. Shite. They need a shoeing at half time.
-
No fcuking about now. Bailey and Ramsey on immediately.
-
Flashes up front occasionally but that's damning with faint praise. Generally awful and Diaby a passenger.
Over to Emery.
-
Diaby and Tielemans off for Jacob and Bailey please. Both been invisible first half.
Keep the faith. The Geordies ain’t all that.
-
More fucking cheating, putting the flag up straight away. ******.
Yeah, what the fuck was that about? It wasn't a clear offside. Have they changed the rules just for us?
-
Let’s see what Emery can change for the second half.
I think we can be fixed.
-
Utterly terrible, disjointed and an absolute mess. Incredibly easy for Newcastle and 2-0 flatters us. We aren’t scoring here you can tell.
-
Diaby is an utter waste of time and money. Useless.
-
They are smart enough to know how to park the bus.
I can not understand why we again take the field with 10 men because Diaby has been a passenger for weeks.
-
No surprises. Performances since the Arsenal game have been medicore at best and this was always on the cards.
I can see this ending up 3 or 4 nil
-
Can someone tell me why they flagged on that move that didnt even look offside??
Surely you let the move play out and then see if ut was off like every single fucking time that's happened against us all season ?
-
We need someone to compete with Ollie. His contribution has been horrible for weeks.
-
Let's be honest, we're clearly not as good a team as we thought we were.
It has taken the absence of one player - Torres - to destroy the way we try to play, and we don't have any other way of playing.
We're just not that good.
Yeah, it's Torres missing that's the issue, it was the same when he sat out the European games but the opponents were shite so we got away with it.
-
We are missing Torres big time. Yet again we have a player with a supposed minor injury that goes on for week after week. This poor form has matched his absence exactly in my opinion.
-
We've been well and truly sussed.
The other 19 teams have had half a season to figure out how we setup and how we play, because we don't change it, and how to therefore stop it. And they have.
-
Central midfielders dictate the pace of play.
Ours are playing walking football.
I don’t think dougie will have any wet shirt problems to worry about

It was offside.

Rule change. For this evening only.
-
Okay Unai, this is where you get to live up to your current reputation. 0-2 might be too much of a mountain to climb, but you've seen how bad we've been, you need to change it and show us a second half where the players at least LOOK like a top four outfit.
-
Back to bed I think.
We aren't very interesting to watch at present.
-
Diaby and Tielemans off for Jacob and Bailey please. Both been invisible first half.
Keep the faith. The Geordies ain’t all that.
That's the spirit! Sometimes I wonder how Britain won two World Wars.
-
All our games are starting to look the same now.
-
The whole team is miles off it. Newcastle just have much more intensity and look like a team, we’re a rabble.
-
We need someone to compete with Ollie. His contribution has been horrible for weeks.
He’s had zero service.
The service breaks down at Diaby.
-
... after half a season of being a good team, we realised who were and have turned back into Typical Villa.
But the energy levels are not there, and the movement up front is back to Gerrard levels for some reason.
Well, it's been 12 months that we've played well, but - I agree - we've clearly been sussed. Energy levels seem low and we miss key players.
Big second half coming up.
-
All our games are starting to look the same now.
100%. Offside trap isn’t working at all now. Going forwards were ponderous and predictable.
-
More fucking cheating, putting the flag up straight away. ******.
Yeah, what the fuck was that about? It wasn't a clear offside. Have they changed the rules just for us?
That boiled my piss - complete error by the linesman
-
Okay Unai, this is where you get to live up to your current reputation. 0-2 might be too much of a mountain to climb, but you've seen how bad we've been, you need to change it and show us a second half where the players at least LOOK like a top four outfit.
His mistake is the front 2 , you can not get away with one player occupying the defence and the other completely ineffective
-
Looks like the media were right to not take us seriously.
-
No real striking power, injuries have bought us undone but the lack of a midfield is really hurting us. Torres is a huge miss but apart from McGinn the rest look very ordinary.
-
One particular thing we’ve done badly is crossing from the full backs. We’ve had about 3 chances from the left and two from the right from within the box, and haven’t created much with any of them
-
We don't play the kind of football to get back into this. We play the kind of football that's perfect for the opposition when they're ahead. Slow and energyless infront of them.
-
If the same team comes out after half time we won't be scoring a goal tonight and will probably concede more.
Ramsey for Tielemans and Bailey for Diaby from the off. And Kamara needs to be careful too - this ref won't be shy with the red cards.
-
I just don’t see it improving unless we find a way to relax. We look wound so tight that the players don’t look free mentally. And this is the most disjointed we have looked in ages.
-
Can't see us winning another game
-
Let's be honest, we're clearly not as good a team as we thought we were.
It has taken the absence of one player - Torres - to destroy the way we try to play, and we don't have any other way of playing.
We're just not that good.
A £50m forward shouldn't be falling off this badly. A striker who got the faith in him that Watkins has shouldn't be falling off this badly. Moreno, Ramsey, McGinn in fact have been far below levels we know they can reach. It's not just the absence of Torres - there's a malaise at the same time as other teams are better tactically against us than before. Unai has questions to answer here.
But this game, idk. I just hate Newcastle, or 'Newcastle'. They embody everything wrong not just with football, but with modern life. And they lead through two set-pieces, one of which involved more ricochets than a trick shot in snooker. The evil have both power and luck, and their bootlickers lap it up like milk. Losing like this to Fulham would've just been normal annoying sport sadness; to this lot, literally the worst club on earth, just makes me want to burn things.
-
Can someone tell me why they flagged on that move that didnt even look offside??
Surely you let the move play out and then see if ut was off like every single fucking time that's happened against us all season ?
It was offside.
Was it though?
It looked to close to see with the naked eye at that speed which is why the flag shouldn't be raised.
-
No real striking power, injuries have bought us undone but the lack of a midfield is really hurting us. Torres is a huge miss but apart from McGinn the rest look very ordinary.
Other than Torres that’s our first choice team.

Can't see us winning another game
Until we hit non league.
-
No real striking power, injuries have bought us undone but the lack of a midfield is really hurting us. Torres is a huge miss but apart from McGinn the rest look very ordinary.
It’s not the midfield
-
Can't see us winning another game
Until we hit non league.
Not ever.
-
I’m not sure why he started Moussa he looks more Derby than Diaby at the moment.
He need to be taken out of the spotlight and be brought on at the right times to build his confidence back up, he has the ability.
If I was Bailey, I’d be thinking WTF.
Hoping the second half is better, it won’t be worse. Will it?!
-
Like Ollie but if he isn’t doing anything we’ve no real alternative. Feeling quite glum for the second half.
-
Defensive line all over the place again and it's cost us. Lenglet has been awful. Really think Emery got this wrong tactically with two up top (who might aswell have stated at home). With McGinn drifting Cash is being isolated throughout.
Some tidy play in midfield at times with Luiz and McGinn but no cutting edge. Awful miss from McGinn at end there.
-
Can't see us winning another game
What, ever?
-
Right Unai, tactical adjustments please. We’ve look ponderous the last few games and it needs to change.
-
Might be a bit about that we are found out as they say so Emery must come up with a plan B. Players themselves seems to have lost confidence a bit now. We have been achieving great since Emery arrived bur now we seems a bit lost. Future should be great though - with Emery part of it.
-
Considering our home form the atmosphere has been dead. The slow build up kills it.
-
We are not aggressive enough, we are not moving the ball quickly enough, there is too much space around our midfielders. Easy to play against at the moment. Need to tighten up in all areas and be much, much busier all over the park.
-
We need to stop pretending Duran is injured and get him on.
-
This game is still winnable!
-
What looks patient when we’re ahead looks ponderous when we’re behind.
-
The way we normally come out after HT, the odds are that the next goal will be Newcastle's withing about 5mins of the restart, rather than us setting up a barnstormer
-
On a positive note, I would still have taken 43 points at this stage of the season, and we're still in the FA Cup!
-
Can someone tell me why they flagged on that move that didnt even look offside??
Surely you let the move play out and then see if ut was off like every single fucking time that's happened against us all season ?
It was offside.
Was it though?
It looked to close to see with the naked eye at that speed which is why the flag should be raised.
Moreno was about half a yard offside to my eye.
Wouldn't have mattered anyway. The odd occasion we have got into the final third the quality has been utter turd
-
One particular thing we’ve done badly is crossing from the full backs. We’ve had about 3 chances from the left and two from the right from within the box, and haven’t created much with any of them
They are reluctant to cross...as our forwards don't look remotely like winning any contest for the ball. Bullied.
-
A combination of factors for the drop off, but momentum in sport counts for so much. Go top at Christmas and who knows?
-
We need to get JJ, Zman and Bailey on. Go for it and take off Diaby, Martinez and the ref.
-
Our full backs don't cause them any trouble. They are not that good. So frustrating...
-
Season defining second half coming up.
I still believe we can win this game.
-
Considering our home form the atmosphere has been dead. The slow build up kills it.
We barely touched the ball for the first 15 minutes. Any crowd needs something to feed off
-
We'll win 3-2.
-
Can't see us winning another game
We need you to get your finger out!!!!!
-
On a positive note, I would still have taken 43 points at this stage of the season, and we're still in the FA Cup!
Plus we're not 4-0 down to Luton.
-
We'll win 3-2.
Your fault, you predicted 0-2.
Burn the witch!
-
Newcastle well worth their lead, Gordon should have also scored.
Their tactics are spot on, they are pressing and nullified our midfield and highline
Need some changes in, individuals, tactics and energy to get back into this
Kamara needs to watch out as a red is looming
-
Something has to change. Clubs know how to stop us just by watching our last few games and copying it.
-
Season defining second half coming up.
I still believe we can win this game.
I want some of what you’re drinking 🤣
-
unfortunately we have too many players injured, or not at their best - and the squad is too small for the levels we have set.
Really fucking annoying but not unexpected I guess
-
On a positive note, I would still have taken 43 points at this stage of the season, and we're still in the FA Cup!
Plus we're not 4-0 down to Luton.
Even if newcastle win this, we still have an 11 point gap.
-
We'll win 3-2.
Your predicted score of 0-2 at half-time was spot on, so I still believe.
-
Fuck sake, Diaby back out for second half
-
No subs
-
COME ON VILLA TURN THIS AROUND!!!
-
No changes.
This is going to hurt.
-
Let's go Aston, let's go.
-
Fuck sake, Diaby back out for second half
Very poor judgement by Emery again.
-
What on earth is he doing continuing with Diaby.
-
Only thing I can think of is Bailey isn’t fully fit.
-
We've somehow started the 2nd half worse than the 1st
-
Pathetic start to the second half.
-
morenos final ball been awful too
-
We've somehow started the 2nd half worse than the 1st
Same team.
-
watkins cant even toe poke it
-
Watkins injured now.
-
Moreno is having a very poor game. Passing is abysmal.
-
Season defining second half coming up.
I still believe we can win this game.
I want some of what you’re drinking 🤣
I’ve got to believe! Who knows. Not seem much in the first half to suggest it’s likely.
-
0-3 Newcastle
-
I never thought I would say we have missed Digne a lot.
-
Season defining second half coming up.
I still believe we can win this game.
I want some of what you’re drinking 🤣
I’ve got to believe! Who knows. Not seem much in the first half to suggest it’s likely.
The faith is strong.
-
fucking rubbish
-
Newcastle look quite good, we look quite shit.
-
embarrassing
-
Booooo
-
And there it is
-
It's so shit it's funny.
-
Turd.
-
Absolute rubbish
-
they are all shite tonight but SJM
-
Season defining second half coming up.

Ok it’s done now. Moreno went to sleep.
-
Why the fuck weren’t there any changes at half time?
-
Pathetic game management. Is this what Arsenal fans were talking about? I know options are limited, but we literally do fuck all to change anything.
-
We look like we don't care. Like a friendly match.
-
Jacob fucking Murphy
-
Holy shit.
What a fucking mess we are tonight.
-
4-3 anyone?
-
Goodnight
-
Oh just fucking fuck it.
Baby, bath water. Worst away form in the league dominating us.
Pathetic. Totally pathetic. Piss poor.
-
Absolute fucking dogshite from top to bottom. Thank god we're buying a fucking 21 year old championship player to save the day. Unbelievable.
-
Why the fuck weren’t there any changes at half time?
I'm afraid that has set the tone for what has naturally and inevitably happened. First mistake from Emery for my money. Poor.
-
Well that was very easy for them again.
-
Moreno has just summed up the whole game, own goal and a smack in the nuts.
-
The way we normally come out after HT, the odds are that the next goal will be Newcastle's withing about 5mins of the restart, rather than us setting up a barnstormer
Yep not far off being spot on.
-
Pathetic villa
-
We'll win 3-2.
4 3 you mean
-
Just once again, Newcastle should be banned from civilised society.
-
All on Cash that one, why does he thinks he needs to turn on the ball there
-
Moreno has been prevented from reproducing there. That’s horrible.
-
4-3 anyone?
-
Eight goals conceded to these this season.
-
I am really beginning to dislike cash
-
Fucks sake Villa
-
Emery what the fuck were you thinking not making any changes?? Did you not watch first half ?
-
How Emery didn’t make significant changes at HT is very concerning.
-
The way we normally come out after HT, the odds are that the next goal will be Newcastle's withing about 5mins of the restart, rather than us setting up a barnstormer
Yeah, FFS.
This could be a cricket score.
-
We’ve been found out totally.
-
If we go on the same run of results we did after the last Newcastle game, I'll take this result.....
-
This is pathetic
-
We’ve been found out totally.
Afraid so.
-
Newcastle superior in every department. We have looked like a side at the wrong end of the table.
-
A draw to the worst away team and 0-3 to the second worst. Fucking bollocks.
-
Yep, a smack in the nuts in more ways than one... Dear oh dear
..
-
Terrible, truly pathetic. Our game has completely gone.
-
How TF did jacob murphy miss from there, what a donkey.
-
This could be 5 again.
-
Should we really be surprised after failing to score against Everton and struggling against fucking Sheffield Utd.
-
moreno fucking shit again
-
Nice build up, terrible final ball...
-
Bottlers. Total bottlers.
-
Why is Diaby still on the pitch?
-
Newcastle superior in every department. We have looked like a side at the wrong end of the table.
Thing is, they've actually been pretty shit as well.
-
Sigh
To these ****** as well
-
We seem to have bought too much into this style of play where we deliberately slow everything down and try to control games. It's great and everything, but we've forgotten how to play any other way.
It's made us sluggish and taken all the urgency out of our play. We went at Abu Dhabi like a train and didn't give them a yard of space. Need to be doing that much more often. Sometimes you just have to run a fuck of a lot.
-
Emery hasn't covered himself in glory tonight but the players have been wank and half arsed. Won't beat anyone with this standard of performance and attitude.
-
I am really beginning to dislike cash
He has turned proper shit since last year.
-
Fucking hell Moreno, what the fuck was that?
-
We have been poor for a while and it has caught up with us.
-
Fuck off Moreno, utter shit.
-
we miss duran
-
Emery hasn't covered himself in glory tonight but the players have been wank and half arsed. Won't beat anyone with this standard of performance and attitude.
Yep Moreno has kind of summed it up, he’s been absolutely diabolical.
-
Need some subs
-
get zaniolo upfront ffs least he scores
-
Losing is one thing.
But no attempt to change things is so fuckin rubbish.
-
Nice build up, terrible final ball...
And again...although at least we seem to have woken up..
-
We are once again going to Aston Villa another golden opportunity.
-
A chance to finish Newcastle off you say? Newcastle not doing well you say? Come to Villa Park, get your season back on track month.
-
Zaniolo and Bailey coming on.
-
Here they come...
-
I don't think we've caught them off side once. We look mentally fucked.
-
Zaniolo and Bailey coming on.
An hour too late.
-
The cavalry is coming on.
-
Zaniolo and Bailey coming on.
An hour too late.
Feels like a few games too late to be honest.
-
diaby poor again
-
I’m sorry this is on the manager tonight. He’s not infallible after all.
-
I can accept losing, I hoped the days of meekly gifting away sides the 3 points were gone though.
-
What was Ollie gesturing about there?
-
Giving up two goals in three minutes, then giving up another 7 minutes after halftime is fuckin pub league.
I'm not giving credit to anyone out there today. On performance, maybe McGinn, but no captain should let this low effort utter bullshit continue.
-
Cash is very poor . Can't get a decent ball in defends very poorly.
-
Should have made the changes at HT, give the opposition sonething to think about. Instead we've conceded again.
-
Far too fucking late with the substitutions.
-
I’m sorry this is on the manager tonight. He’s not infallible after all.
Of course it is in part. It’s also on the players, every single one has performed at best badly, in some cases utterly atrociously.
-
Fuck off Diaby, useless.
-
Maybe Emery’s thinking was ‘you got us into this mess, you can get us out of it.’ They haven’t.
-
I get the idea of not wanting to pull a player at half time because it could be a massive knock to their confidence but Emery just keeps putting himself and Diaby in this same position, for weeks now. Unless everyone on the bench is carrying a knock, which is entirely possible, there's no justification for not making changes at half time.
-
This result has been coming... We have been comparatively poor lately to the heights of the City game. It showed we are dependent on some key players and don't have much of a plan B.
-
Diaby who has been totally shit off
-
What was Ollie gesturing about there?
should be doing it to the fucking players
-
Bailey and the Zman will save us.
-
I don't think we've caught them off side once. We look mentally fucked.
Every team we play now has clearly done their homework. They're just starting their runs from deeper. And we don't have Torres or Mings to lead the line.
-
What was Ollie gesturing about there?
should be doing it to the fucking players
He can get fucked, geeing up the fans when you're turning in a performance like this? Fuck off.
-
Emery out. LOLZ.
-
Boy do we miss Torres.
-
useless finish
-
Boy do we miss Torres.
Mings as well.
-
We'll score again, don't where, don't know when, but I know we'll score again some sunny day.
-
We just looks so blunt, we just try to pass it into the goal all the time.
-
Fuck off Diaby, useless.
He wants off.
-
This is a real blow. I never expected this sort of performance. I'm quite befuddled seeing the players under perform.
I can only think Bailey must not be fully fit as I think he deserves to start matches.
-
cant see us beating chelski in cup playing like this
-
We just looks so blunt, we just try to pass it into the goal all the time.
Dare I say it, we just look very well-behaved with the ball.
-
The game plan has been non existent
-
Easiest 3 points Newcastle will have all season
-
Newcastle seem to have declared... They do look susceptible to losing the ball under pressure, so...
-
We look like we could play all day and not score. Our attacking zip has completely disappeared.
-
FFS Cash
-
Commentator doing well to speak, given he's got Eddie Howe's cock in his mouth.
-
(https://media.tenor.com/zWDxJGUZwSUAAAAC/soccer-football.gif)
-
We look like we could play all day and not score. Our attacking zip has completely disappeared.
We play without a #10 and a man down with Diaby in this system.
-
We look like we could play all day and not score. Our attacking zip has completely disappeared.
It disappeared in December and hasn't come back yet. We look inhibited - really lacking in confidence.
-
Easiest 3 points Newcastle will have all season
Along with the 3 we gave them in August
-
Boy do we miss Torres.
Mings as well.
and digne
and beundia
and a fully fit Ramsey
-
Should have made the changes at HT, give the opposition sonething to think about. Instead we've conceded again.
Agreed that was piss poor from Emery, a sub or two would have given team and supporters a boost. As it was we started very flat again.
-
Fuck off Diaby, useless.
He wants off.
we wont get 15 million
-
Boy do we miss Torres.
Mings as well.
and digne
and beundia
and a fully fit Ramsey
We did alright for most of the season without 3 of these.
-
wtf bailey didnt start
-
Get the bedsheets out.
-
It is terrible to behold.
-
Super turn from Bailey
-
Fuck off Diaby, useless.
He wants off.
we wont get 15 million
Shocking waste of money , dreadful signing
-
Build up play is far too slow to cause any problems.
-
1-3 Ollie
-
1 3
-
Lovely move from Bailey.
-
if you had fucking started Bailey Unai big mistake tonight
-
Hey look we goaled. Stand the arrows down.
-
Criminal that Bailey didn't get the start. I don't care what Diaby cost in the summer.
-
Bailey has done more in a few mins than Diaby has done in his life. Ever.
-
This is on emery tonight. We could all see at HT changes were needed yet he proceeds to play same god awful side who were playing like cowards 1st half and behold newcastle score
-
We couldn't could we?....
-
What was Ollie gesturing about there?
should be doing it to the fucking players
He can get fucked, geeing up the fans when you're turning in a performance like this? Fuck off.
Absolutely this
Fuck right off
-
Boy do we miss Torres.
Mings as well.
and digne
and beundia
and a fully fit Ramsey
We did alright for most of the season without 3 of these.
Yeah but doesn't mean we don't still need them for days like this
-
Bailey has turned this game on its head.
-
Not even worth a shout out. But apparently we scored.
Back to reading up on wine from the Canary Isles
-
We've looked far more purposeful since the subs came on... Now come on...
-
Fuck knows why Bailey didn’t start, we might not have lost this.
-
Bailey is our best player
-
Oooooh
-
Brilliant from Bailey
-
Get in Ollie! COYVB!!!
-
Boy do we miss Torres.
Mings as well.
and digne
and beundia
and a fully fit Ramsey
We did alright for most of the season without 3 of these.
Yeah but doesn't mean we don't still need them for days like this
Sure, but in terms of us being amazing for half a season and now being a bit of a mess, Torres and Digne are the ones that are actually missing.
-
ffs what a bastard
-
Bailey to Watkins again but offside given
-
Fuck knows why Bailey didn’t start, we might not have lost this.
Starting Bailey doesn’t stop us conceding the goals we did.
-
Not even worth a shout out. But apparently we scored.
Back to reading up on wine from the Canary Isles
The volcanic soils make for some unique stuff, as well as some incredibly old vines, even some pre-phylloxera stuff.
-
we win this if that was a goal
-
Ah, just half a stride too early...
-
Must have been the gesturing that helped him score that.
-
VAR confirms offside
-
Come on VAR help us please.
-
Im shocked bailey didnt start
-
Completely different side
-
Completely different side
Well literally in the case of a few payers!
-
Right... Sarurday we need to *start* with this line up...
-
Not playing Bailey is a critical mistake for us.
He is in wonderful form, creative, and scoring goals. He could have made this game winnable from the outset for us.
-
I still cannot fucking believe he didnt start bailey
-
He's off
-
This is on emery tonight. We could all see at HT changes were needed yet he proceeds to play same god awful side who were playing like cowards 1st half and behold newcastle score
yet didnt mind taking zaniolo off at HT a few times
-
He's off
?
-
Shoulder barge, ref...
-
He's off
?
Rhyme n Reason
-
He's off
?
Watkins offside, I imagine mate.
-
We'd have been booked for time wasting by now but teams always seem to get away with it against us.
-
Brought someone on to man mark Bailey
-
Playing Diaby was a bigger mistake than not playing Bailey
-
Well we like scoring late goals, so now would be a good game to score a few more
-
We'd have been booked for time wasting by now but teams always seem to get away with it against us.
yep it's infuriating
-
cash should have found bailey there
konsa poor ball
-
Terrible from konsa ffs
-
Fuck sake. If we're going to pass it about for 20 passes don't launch it afterwards.
-
He's off
?
Watkins offside, I imagine mate.
Yes
-
We'd have been booked for time wasting by now but teams always seem to get away with it against us.
yep it's infuriating
It's part of the game and let's be fair Martinez is one of the biggest offender and so I don't think we can complain. Unfortunately.
-
How long left.
-
cash should have found bailey there
konsa poor ball
Cash lack of attacking nous , defensive nous and footy intelligence annoys me intensely
-
He's off
?
Watkins offside, I imagine mate.
Yes
Its like the anti PWS
-
Big opportunity going to be missed this season.
-
Big opportunity going to be missed this season.
We've got winnable games in February. Hopefully this is the same wake up call that started the campaign.
-
Ramsey can't be fit. Way off it.
-
Finish the fucker next time John.
-
this fucking ref
-
I'd love to know how we've got 3 bookings and they have none. The McGinn one was fair enough but there's no chance the other 2 were more deserving than the many kicks and niggles they've done.
-
Winnable games in February except when it’s us and when it matters.
-
Apart from 10 mins this performance has still been really poor
-
Bailey is five times the player Diaby is. I’m so annoyed with SUE.
-
Moreno having some shocker
-
Hows thata freekick??
-
Apart from 10 mins this performance has still been really poor
Yes, it has been 75 minutes of absolute garbage.
-
Disappointed since we've scored.
-
Trippier should be sent off for the play acting and trying to claim a head injury . That's so poor by a supposedly good pro. Ok maybe a fouls but the blatant cheating is not part of the spirit of the game.
-
Barcodes slowing it down as much as they can
-
and how is that a free kick for Trippier, nonsense decision again, and has let them take another minute or 2 out of the game.
-
Pretty wank since the offside 'goal'
-
shoot ffs
-
Brookes the ref has let us down tonight guess he wanted to not look like he favoured us as never having lost.
-
why players dont shoot and then a hopeful lob into the box
-
9 added mins
-
They were queuing up there, how did they not put that away?...
-
Zanilio is just no good at all. Weve bought in Zanilio and Diaby and currently they are both big downgrades on what we had
-
Commentator talking about whiplash regarding that Moreno challenge on Trippier.
I must be hallucinating and therefore watching something very different
-
Apart from 10 mins this performance has still been really poor
It has, Bailey's cameo aside. Fortress Villa Park just became bouncy castle Villa Park, we've given Newcastle two of their three easiest games of the season.
-
Are Emerys signings making us worse ?
-
Brookes the ref has let us down tonight guess he wanted to not look like he favoured us as never having lost.
Behave
-
Bailey MOM
which is embarrassing
-
Rogers will make all the difference. 3,2,1 score.
-
Lenglet thats a chance
-
Brookes the ref has let us down tonight guess he wanted to not look like he favoured us as never having lost.
What is that supposed to mean?
-
Defender's header, that...
-
Zanilio is just no good at all. Weve bought in Zanilio and Diaby and currently they are both big downgrades on what we had
Also Moreno is worse than Digne
Now Rogers who looks like a fledgling championship player
-
Disappointed since we've scored.
Bringing Livramento in has pretty much nullified Bailey.
Howe has made Emery look very stupid tonight.
-
Zanilio is just no good at all. Weve bought in Zanilio and Diaby and currently they are both big downgrades on what we had
Also Moreno is worse than Digne
Now Rogers who looks like a fledgling championship player
Honestly do you think about this shit first or just vomit it out for us all to laugh at?
Rogers written off already before he has signed for us
-
A shit defeat and the Footy conglomerate returns. What a night. Might as finish us off with the news that Ollie has torn his ACL getting into his car.
-
Zaniolo is a competition winner, surely. Doesn’t look like an actual footballer.
-
Zanilio is just no good at all. Weve bought in Zanilio and Diaby and currently they are both big downgrades on what we had
Runs into blind alleys too easily
-
Cash falling over far too much.
Newcastle had a field night down their left our right.
Needed addressing
-
Zanilio is just no good at all. Weve bought in Zanilio and Diaby and currently they are both big downgrades on what we had
Zaniolo should be sent back with a returns note to Galatasaray.
A huge waste of money, especially for the amount that Galatasaray stated when he was signed.
-
Bet they have a team photo at the end.
-
Cash falling over far too much.
Newcastle had a field night down their left our right.

Yet it was the corners that did for us

Boro paid £1m for him 6 months ago and he has 2 championship goals to his name .
-
Zanilio is just no good at all. Weve bought in Zanilio and Diaby and currently they are both big downgrades on what we had

Very greedy player he's on a loan so he's just looking to get bonuses needs to be more team orientated. Lacks discipline

FFS.
-

I had high hopes for him. Looked great elsewhere.
He's been very disappointing. As has Diaby, though I'm still hoping he'll be ok.

Yep and didn't cost £45m
-
It seems that citeh win was the worst thing thats happened to us. Since then we have been pretty poor to fucking shit. I put this up there with that 2nd half at manure.
Dreadful.
I mean as a professional footballer you fucking get hammered 5-1 opening game you would think you would have the motivation to set the record straight. But no.
And this is a newcastle team depleted with injuries and isak going off. In my opinion totally unacceptable.
Sorry if i am being dramatic but i am raging

Recently, I agree, but we don't have the option of not signing him like we do with Zaniolo...
-
We are a 6th-8th team.
-
Hope the Chelsea tickets are £10

Newcastle are fucking shit, too. They won at the weekend in the cup, but they were fucking awful in that much as well.

Newcastle are fucking shit, too. They won at the weekend in the cup, but they were fucking awful in that much as well.
Yeah, this is the equivalent of when an out-of-sorts Arsenal would get horsed by Pulis. They're good at two things, and they're the two things we can't work out when we're bad.
-
There should be a law that they have to pixelate Anthony Gordon’s face. I just don’t want to see it. Ever
-
Zanilio is just no good at all. Weve bought in Zanilio and Diaby and currently they are both big downgrades on what we had
Zaniolo should be sent back with a returns note to Galatasaray.
A huge waste of money, especially for the amount that Galatasaray stated when he was signed.
Still been better than Diaby.
Yep and didn't cost £45m
Again, we dont have the option of cancelling Diaby transfer.
And I don't think Zaniolo was far off £40M when all his add-ons were tallied up.
-
Zaniolo’s body language. FFS
least he has a body , diabys didnt turn up
-
We’ve put the entire house on Diaby who seems to have completely gone to pot. I’m hoping he turns into Bailey but I’m not convinced.
-
Bailey’s positive impact on the game has been offset by Zaniolo’s negative impact following the substitutions.
-
And the run ends
-
8-2 against those.

I've lost patience with Ian Olney, he can fuck off. I'd rather have THE Ian Olney.

Not arguing with what you think you're saying. We have spent more money on one than the other. They've both been failures. The one on which more money was spent was the bigger waste of said money.

With a wimper. Cowardly performance just like that 2nd half against utd

It seems that citeh win was the worst thing thats happened to us. Since then we have been pretty poor to fucking shit. I put this up there with that 2nd half at manure.
Dreadful.
I mean as a professional footballer you fucking get hammered 5-1 opening game you would think you would have the motivation to set the record straight. But no.
And this is a newcastle team depleted with injuries and isak going off. In my opinion totally unacceptable.
Sorry if i am being dramatic but i am raging
Nope. Not dramatic. Truthful. And I agree 100%.

We are not disagreeing.
But like I said, we have already purchased Diaby 100% outright.
Zaniolos loan doesn't have to be made permanent. Especially for how much Galatasaray quote for the fee.
So I would send Zaniolo back to save the wasted transfer fee we would have to pay & worry about Diaby tomorrow...

Good job the match thread is at its end.

No I mean, fair. It's just when we look at FFP one has been a much, much bigger failure.
