Newcastle United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Our record in live TV games this season:

P17
W1

We're a fucking national laughing stock.

Sack Bruce and who do you get?

But just before you all answer I was called perposterous for suggesting Nigel Pearson in the summer.   Wouldn't mind a bit of that fight right now

[Dazvillain]

No matter how shit this is surely we can't keep getting managers in for 14 or 15 games and keep changing !?

[curiousorange]

The problem is confidence, and Bruce can't offer it. Rowett, regardless of the football his Blues side played, made them more than the sum of their parts somehow. I don't want him back in a month of Sundays, but at least Tim Sherwood was the only manager in the last half decade who made us look like a fucking team. Get rid of Bruce, who is a busted flush, and get someone in who can give us a bit of bloody backbone.

were battling it out on Twitter trending at numbers 2 and 3 with Wayne Shaw of Sutton eating a massive pie in the dugout

Rowett. You have to be fucking kidding me

Despite not getting thoroughly gubbed tonight, I honestly can't see where the next point is coming from. If Bruce stays: we're fucked. We might well be fucked with a replacement now, but I have no confidence in the current Manager's ability to turn this utter shitefest around. Give Rowett the gig & see if he can get this bunch of confused & criminally-underachieving players organised and believing in themselves. We are totally leaderless on and off the park; & heading for L1. Change it now Tony FFS!!

You are right, but even though it was 2-0 it might have well been a drubbing.
After 40 mins, and the first goal, the game was over.
No fight, no passion no belief.

The second half was another sterile, non descript, non eventful waste of 45 minutes that we have seen far too often.

Jesus really? The QPR game and that's it.

Poor is the best I can say.

Hear, hear!

It's truly depressing to note that the last truly good half of football we played wasn't even on our own ground. Beating the Scousers at Wembley isn't going to keep us from dropping like a stone into Division Three again.

I love The Villa, always will.
But I really couldn't give a shit about any of the tossers in recent years who have played for us, managed us, or anybody else who has had any direct input into our sorrowful and pathetic demise.
They have successfully alienated me and I now get absolutely zero pleasure from following us.
But these chancers and greedy underperforming fuckers who have tried to destroy my spirit can never take away my memories of days gone by.

Most of them were crap, but special mention to Elphick (again), Barney and Kodjia. I suspect Elphick shaded it as Newcastle Man of the Match.

What summed it up for me was when both Hutton and Taylor moved forward with the ball with nobody offering any support so they ended up having to dribble. Surprisingly they beat a couple of players and there's still no support so they kicked the ball out of play or back to Newcastle.

Shouldn't really call this a team, they are a bunch of over-rated, expensive individuals. Thank God I'm old enough to have seen a real Villa team.

Same here.

Well who else is available who could come in & turn this horror show around? I'll be jiggered if I can come up with any other realistic alternatives now.
