Newcastle United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Dave Cooper please]

And Lescott's bollock-dropping. A player of his experience shouldn't be distracted from his job so easily.

"Mark Collocini, mark Collocini, mark Collocini.....ooh look, that's a very florescent top Brad's wearing...SHITE!"

It felt so good not to lose I might put Saturday up there with the greatest draws like Swindon and the Anderlecht and Arsenal semi second legs.

You had ONE job...!

Just a thought I had during yesterdays match. Was Carlos Sanchez having difficulties with seeing the play clearly through those goggles he is wearing to protect an injury. The rain was coming down in stainrods (ho ho) and it must have affected his vision to a certain extent.

Anyway their goal was Lescotts fault and Lescotts alone!

I thought exactly the same regards those stupid fkn goggles
they defo affected his play
get rid carlos they are not a fashion item you tosspot

What an idiotic reply.

I've seen lots of calls for Adama in that game but as a pacey winger in a previous life it's very difficult running at full pelt when the ball sticks in the built up water on the pitch. I don't think he'd have been as effective in those conditions.

Quite a lot of us agree with you.

Yes, we'll probably still go down but in all seriousness the difference in prize money between eighteenth and twentieth would buy the kind of player we'll need. And going down with a bit of spirit might just help kickstart a revival similar to 1970.

Nice sentiment, but with this owner it won't happen.  He doesn't understand the difference between customers and supporters, and isn't interested in giving the latter any involment or investment (in the widest sense) in the club.

I don't think he's malicious in this, just incapable of understanding how to capture what could be on offer.

We improved to play much better in the second half we need to play like that from the start in every game to give us a chance of survival.

It's one thing watching Hutton do it, but we've got to assume that Traoré knows what he's doing on a normal pitch, whereas that pitch helped Hutton's "style" by preventing him from overunning the ball by 5 yards with every other touch.
