That's the moment of magic that wins games for Pardew. Something out of nothing.

Fully expect Harry Kane to bag a double hat-trick in the second half because so many people have told me how good he is. He's so good.

I'll be honest, I've seen better games than this one.

Williamson is back on the bench. We can only have 2 recognised centre backs fit at the same time. Interesting that he's chosen Dummett as opposed to a regular CH in Williamson.

2-2

Hertha scum put to the sword 2-0.

But who would they get that's better? Who would work for Mansour?

Absolutely nothing in that at all imo. There was contact obviously but not enough to justify collapsing like that.

Last minute winner written aaaal ower this one.

Not another og is it? Great finish to keep it down.

It's alright, I'm sure Carr has been given the green light to go out and buy a top-notch tricky winger to take his place in the first team. After all, the needs of the squad are the most important thing and genuine investment in January will be forthcoming.

Comfortable away win.

BOOM! Been waiting for that one to go off for a day or so.

Obvious bait is obvious.

Seen a few Newcastle fans slagging off Villa's crowds. This attitude of 'our attendances are better than yours' has to change in English football if fans want any power back. It was fine when games were £2 on the gate but not now, supporters deserve to see something back from their money, some sort of accountability for poor performance. This attitude of turning up out of 'loyalty' is just giving people like Lerner and Ashley licence to take the piss. At a certain point around 1992, the relationship stopped being "club and supporters" and became "club and customers". We stopped being an integral part of the clubs, it became a business relationship, and that meant them treating us no different to the way M&S treat their shoppers. This whole thing was entirely of their making. if people don't turn up week in week out to watch a load of offensive shit, then that's a direct result of them changing the relationship, with all the enormous price inflation that meant. They can't have it both ways. Newcastle's gate income for 2013 was circa £28m. The increase in the new tv deal was worth approximately the same, so in effect the club could play in an empty stadium and, financially, be no worse off than the previous year due to the hike in tv cash. In the past the fans mattered because a club couldn't run without the cash on the gate. If your gates crashed and fans boycotted for whatever reason the chairmen had to act or they couldn't pay the bills. Fans mattered, their opinions and feelings mattered. Now that Sky pump in billions the folk who continue to turn up week after week don't matter any more. If gates dropped by 50% then the net effect is negligible to the accounts, the clubs can get by quite happily treating the loyal fans like shit because the chairmen are not totally reliant on gate income any more. Cunts like Ashley and Lerner can get away with it because the game's fundamentally changed. It's barely a sport any more it's just an exercise in making money. Fuck it.

Bang. Been coming.

Ref's lost it here.

Would be astonished if we go anything close to £16m for him like.

Classic display of the benefits of loaning out young players then integrating them into the first team. He's clearly come on a lot out in Greece, gained a bit of confidence and played really, really well today. This is how the system should be used and the club have got it right for once. Always maintained we've got a good set of players in the squad and it's only now that the useless fucker has managed to get them organised.

This is classic Pardew. Reverting to type.
