Smith being ridiculed by the whole stadium... nice :s

Roze up the pitch now.... great game for the neutrals has to be said.

... terrible atempt from Martins... seen the worst of him there, was a good couple of yards wide from ten yards out.

Nothing's changed, defence still utter s***, time to go Allardyce

 

Hahahaha you utter moron.

 

thick cunt, open your eyes

fuck off if petty windup is all you're capable of.

God! Wish we would stop putting the ball out! FFS! this is the kind of rubbish and softness that allows people to walk all over us.

 

The ref is ordering it. They're not doing it out of kindness.

no no, the ref hasnt said anything on every occasion. Our players caving to the pressure and moaning from the crowd.

God! Wish we would stop putting the ball out! FFS! this is the kind of rubbish and softness that allows people to walk all over us.

Another great ball by Smith...

He might as well be playing with his hands in his pockets and whistling to himself.

Typical nufc implision that was! Cant really blame Taylor for not keeping up with Petrov...

If we're going to be giving him 50 yards to run into we might as well give up now!

Why risk him?

Because he's going to get injured again no matter what... might as well throw him out there when "pretty much fit"

- w.t.f is going on with Smith? He seems to be spending so much time just ambling around the pitch, its like he's on acid and has just spotted a seagull!

That's the point I was trying to make earlier... he seems to just be stroling around. One good tackle is all he's offered. Hope he buckles up or gets taken off.

We're getting ripped apart down Zoggy's side. I'm not sure if the problem is his positioning, or whether he's not getting help

I think the main problem is that he's pretty much on his own down the left.

Ok, who comes off for Enrique?

I'd say Smith

Oba having a quality game so far! Passing, first touches and winning the ball has been very good. A couple of his usual speculative atempts going miles away, but oh well.

n'zogbia gets raped there

Why were we holding a line so high up with everyone static?  it was  pretty ridiculous.

What a first touch by Oba! Uncharacteristically so. HAVE to give props to Viduka also brilliantly winning the ball back at the start of it all.

Let's keep it nice and tidy now.

Terrible passing=no possession=no chances on goal. It's getting tough to watch these games with the midfield we put out there.

Was always going to be a battle of the midfields this one... and with the pace and dynamism they have, way the game has been so far is not really a surprise.

There we go Milner already having a better game than last week out on his usual right side

Fucking annoying lazy passing from Smith just then for Zoggy amongst other... just playing in a comfort zone out there... not lining himself up for shots like he could have on a couple of occasions.

Saw of all that on Sky... however any claim that Owen will be recovering from anything in record time is pretty dubious imo!

Bloody Sky - England and Owen is all those freaks ask about

Was going to say... some great insight into today's game that was!!

Probably feels Given was outstanding enough against Arsenal which apparently he was.

Nice read indeed, too easily forgotten. That team was a joy to watch for the two seasons they challenged and eventually won it. With of course an out of this world Shearer.

He showed strong signs of potential last year too and before that. He's just built on that more and more since his return... It's a credit to him really that even after a year out he's made a seemless transition.

Just going round in circles, people aren't blaming Shola for the bad results or making him a scapegoat for god's sake. But for his nonsensical behaviour on a football pitch. One that has been the same for 7 years.

Baffles me how anyone can be bothered to type more than a few lines in his defense.

Hooray.

Milner has been poor so far this season.

 

Not really no. Just last two games (arsenal one included).

Seriously, he has been utter shite. Complete and utter shite.

Nothing else to say than simply no. That is not true. Only been poor last couple of games.
