Post-match thread - Newcastle v Aston Villa

[cheltenhamlion]

To have a penalty and still not have any shots on target is not inspiring.

Anyway, I said when I renewed I was not going to get all wound up about football this season. I therefore intend to take this on the chin.

It's not the scoreline that bothered me about yesterday, it was the woeful ineptitude of the performance. It really looked like men against boys, almost like an FA cup match with a prem team playing a sunday league side. We made Newcastle, a newly promoted and very average side, look like Brazil. Our performance was absolutely gutless, that is the cause for concern, not the fact that we dropped a point or two.

Slept on it and it hasn't helped. I'm completely at a loss to explain why we have just lost SIX NIL to a championship side (only the fullback was an addition to last years team i believe). It wasn't even one bad half, we lost them both 3-0. It wasn't a dodgy ref, a dodgy lino, an injury hit team (In fact most had been "rested" the week before - if ever there was an argument that this "resting" lark is a load of bollocks then this would be great evidence for it.) Shots on target - zero. Corners - two. We were anhilated.

What makes it worse is thats the emptiest ive ever seen St James Park. They were quiet until they started scoring and seemed resigned to the fact they had already lost the moment we kicked off.

Don't really know why ive typed this actually as its nothing you don't already know. Sorry for wasting your time all, just had to get things off my chest !!

This is one game that I'm glad I wasn't able to watch here in the states. Well, we know 2 things - 1. We are better than West Ham. 2. We are better than West Ham.

Ive slept on it and without jumping the gun i never realised how much we need Gabby and Collins until now utter drivel yesterday and shamefull lets just hope the boys had a good look at themselves on the long bus ride back to their Bentleys and Aston Martins in the club car park...........

They fucking owe us now , we need a positive reaction from the players and the board to get us back on track or else I do think we will have a real fight on our hands for top 6 cos champs league aint happening full stop. Some changes are needed tho ...downing and petrov are never dropped no matter how bad they play that has to change ,I hope Ireland plays again Vienna as he just needs matches and Warnock and Luke Young need a psychiatrist to see whats goin on in their heads cos theyre different palyers at the mo .....

having slept on it...I've decided that I'm not going Thursday and will also not spend money on my kids having the new shirts.  I think someone else said that the Villa will lose money on Thursday now.

I'm still gutted and spent all day yesterday in a daze (apart from when a couple of Dickheads in my office starting singing 6-0 and i told them to fuck off). It bothered me that they have no interest in football but were trying to wing me up. It worked  .
I still can't believe how we can lose 6-0 to that shower of shit.

[Dave Cooper please]

Fucking glad I was in Benbecula when this was on!
