Match Thread- Newcastle United Vs Aston Villa

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Why the hell is Petrov playing in a more forward position than Ireland or is he just too slow to get back and defend?

Mr Optimist says, if we can nick one now, or even early in the second half, they will fold like a deck of cards and we will win.

Mr Pissed off says, I really hope we can keep it down to 3 or 4 the way we are playing, and fuck off Carew, game after game you take the piss with your insipid performances.

[Steve Z]

We need a goal to settle us down, NRC on at half time, take Albrighton off he's having a nightmare

[MattW]

We need goals and Carew and YOung don't have the right attitude today

Young's looked dangerous. Won a penalty; should have scored.

[Hammer]

Ashley has to play to the whistle far more. He might be getting fouled but he doesn't half look petulant at times.

[PaulWinch again]

Petrov is doing absolutely fuck all.

[nicardinho]

Petrov is doing absolutely fuck all.

You sound surprised?

At times?  Petulant is his default setting.

That said, he's had some rough treatment today and was wrongly penalised for handball so he's every right to be pissed off this afternoon.  But not petulant.

good job we rested the stars in the week...

I agree whole-heartedly about Carew, he seriously needs replacing. By Delfouneso at half-time, and by God knows who in the long term.

having real problem getting picture please help

[Somniloquism]

For those who said we had the best deal out of the Milner sale, still saying that?

[PaulWinch again]

Awful, criminally bad.

Well spotted. My thoughts too.

Commentator said it all...."they have their fair share of grafters in midfield, don't they?"

We have nobody. 

Bring on NRC.
