Newcastle United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Risso]

I don't think we are doomed just yet,
 but I would say I think there is more chance of us going down than staying up, I've never said that before in any of the previous seasons,
the Stoke game did it for me, I realised watching that second half that we were rubbish and there probably wasn't a lot Sherwood could do about it

however on the bright side we created more today than we have all season, so maybe just maybe he can have an effect
but its odds against I'm afraid

I think we're certain to go down John.  Our goal difference is worth -1 point as it is, and we're just really bad at all aspects of the game, with the worst-performing forwards I've ever seen at the club.  Agbonlahor and Weimann look like George Weah's other cousins at the moment, they're not even vaguely competent.

The problem with those 2 is that they are neither creative nor goalscorers.

I don't think it's 'chest-beating bullshit.' I think Newcastle were genuinely pretty bad and people thought that Aston Villa should batter them. They were right: we should, normally. It's hard to acclimatise to our current levels of shitness though.

What do you mean 'normally'?  'Normally' we're shit.  And have been for at least three seasons.  We're absolutely kidding ourselves if we think we're going to batter anyone.

I meant historically. I know we're clearly shit and have been some time (I'd venture as far as five seasons)

[Legion]

I've been told that we battered Sunderland a couple of years ago. I wasn't there.

Throw the towel in. Can't take anymore. Baggies safe as well. Will park the bus on Tuesday.  Curtains

Not the only person to have said on here that Albion will park the bus.  Why would they do that?  Why would they need to do that?  They're not playing fucking Barcelona.  We are there for the taking, and Pulis will have them up for it.

[Tom_Mc9?]

I think I was there, but there were things called goals involved which I've forgotten about, unless it's when Guzan picks it up out of the net.

[Gregorys Boy]

A slightly better performance and none of the other teams winning around us are the only saving graces.  We are lucky to still be in this thing.   If we don't get a good a result from the next couple of games then I am almost sure that we will go down.  Still have a feel Sunderland could be for the drop this season.  Their form is giving me a little hope.

We are not down and out. This time next week we will be out the bottom three and discussing whether to stop in Covent Garden before our FA Cup semi final.

That is my expectation too Ian.

My clutching-at-straws hope for now is that our form is utterly atrocious and we are still not adrift.

Speaking to an Albion relative on the way back and he told me that Pulis would "turn up not to lose". It's the way Pulis' sides always set up away from home, and is why Stoke had such a dire away record.

On the blue meth again Ads?
I admire your spirit, I wish some of our players had a bit of it.

[lovejoy]

I'd rather have Lambert than Sherwood, there I've said it.

It only takes one spark to light a fire.

[Toronto Villa]

So after two games of the new manager you would go back to the guy who put us here in the first place. Because he was doing such a stellar job with his 12 goals all season wasn't he? Possibly the most mental think I've read on here in a good while.

I would hardly go that far.
