Newcastle United v Aston Villa Match Thread

About 20 minutes too late

[Fergal]

I still don't get the Heskey sub. What was the point? Really, what was the thinking behind it? AM finally gets his team to play some good football and then he does that. Why?

Because he is out of his depth and does not really know what he is doing?

[wombat]

Heskey is about as mobile as my ironing board. we are breaking forward and he is standing on the left wing looking on...

true... can't defend... can't attack... can't score... can't do box to box... can't even make a nuisance of himself anymore.... a baffling substitution that makes AM look like a buffoon.

McLeish is an enigma. Whenever I begin to think he's a good manager he ruins it by doing something stupid. But I know he's not a bad manager either, it's so frustrating. He doesn't realise what a big club he's had. Playing for a draw is not good enough at our level.

[PaulWinch again]

Chance for Gardner there.

[Mister E]

Thought GG had scored there!

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Great chance.

Oh, what a shock. We pass the ball and we create a chance.

Fucking do it more often!!!!!!!

[Matt Collins]

For someone as technically adept as Bannan is, he's just not careful enough with his passing.

Can't see us getting back into this. No Albrighton or Gabby from the start, and we voluntarily took off Ireland and CNZ!!!

Keane played a lovely ball into Bent then and his touch was embarassing!!

Oh Gardner, what a chance!!!

[Summers]

Fucking hell Gards, come on. You're better than that.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

The subs screwed us today. Totally.

He did well against QPR and Wolves with his decisions, but the manager has lost us this game.

We were getting torn a new one until Heskey came on. At least we're at the races now.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Stop hoofing it!!!

[Mister E]

Shit  - again, thought we'd scored.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Passing it again...and we create a chance...funny that.

[CJ]

Jammy bastards

[richard moore]

Gardner making a huge difference, this guy has to start every week soon?
