Newcastle United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Steve R]

1st time post-nobody commented?? on 2 newcastle players in offside positions for goal-i'm a ref & coach u16; 1 clearly interfering;
...

A couple have commented rgarrad. I thought it may have been offside, but had a quick look this morning and although a Newcastle player is indeed standing in front of Guzan, he is being played onside by Hutton. Lazy defending by Hutton who is adding nothing being where he is and should have been busting a gut to join the defensive line level with the edge of the six yard box, as Westwood is doing.

I think next Saturday is a make or break and we need to win to have a chance of staying up. Do that and we can genuinely start a fight back.

A good point yesterday all things told.

rob yes we need 3 points but it's not make or break next week. That only comes when math is involved. We don't need insurmountable pressure on players. Let's pick up points where we can till jan window opens and then see.

I think a win on Boxing Day is vital followed up by winning at least one from Norwich and Sunderland. Normally nine or ten wins gets you over the line, we can't wait much longer for win number two. I am not thinking we can stay up but if we can win a couple quickly hope will return.

Minimum 5 points from next 3 games is needed.

thanks for  this steve r, i only saw last night live; lescott doing same (didnt he do same v. baggies?) for their incredible miss when 3 villans too busy gesticulating to lino -but allowing free cross/ unmarked header

Not seen their goal, Steve R's photo looks damning initially, but I dunno how come Hutton was in there, so I'll reserve judgement until I can get hold of the feckin telly remote.
But just watched Leeg's post of ours.
Fuck. Me.
Del Piero, anyone?
I'm becoming of the belief that we should just sign blokes called Jordan.

[Legion]

Both goals and highlights

[olaftab]

thanks for 'welcome'- cut the patronising comment!! (& the misspelling of name)why not answer/ respond to the salient point-offside error....

Apologies. This will not happen again I assure you. I am also, now, pleased that I didn't point out your error on offside comment.

won't allow me to quote to legion post(?) but having viewed video: on 4 secs of video as shot appears to go-hutton has come further out & genuine case for player in front of flight of ball to be marginally offside- would need tv line across/ in line camera to confirm; but no doubt 'asst ref' 60 yards behind ref would have a better view ala gunners &  be able to correct ref!?

you sad people (added to class of  82 ''humour??'' to his fellow regular/inbred?), very close call re offside if you look at video, I only saw live-didnt realise this site was for chosen few-great way to encourage new posters, UTV

Well that escalated quickly.

That is stilled slightly before the ball is being kicked though. The replay of the side angle suggested he was slightly offside.

Just got back.
Although only a draw there we positives for me. Some fight, a good second half display and Ayew & Veretout looking better every week.
We need to now remain unbeaten (and get at least 2 wins) till the transfer window to have a very slim chance of survival.
Looking forward to my next away game at Sunderland!

Rgarrard - i'm as sensitive as they come when getting the hump with people's replies on here but don't take it too seriously mate. They're a good crowd on here all in all. And you have to concede your writing style is rather eccentric!

[Gregorys Boy]

Decent enough draw, given that they have hit a bit of form and we were away from home, but really at this point a draw against one of our main rivals just isn't good enough.  At least we did well to get back in the game after another dire first half, great goal too.  We're moving in the right direction, but too slowly.
