Big Geordie

Try telling Lowes and Ando that. I will try and get on the phone in after the game. Will have all guns blazing. Steady on BG all they will do is cut you off and shift all of the blame on to the players as per usual. Both said that the first half had been awful and that the players deserved a bollocking. Bigger picture is, that if Ashley wants a more attacking side - then witnessing shite like this isn't going to convince folk to stay onboard for next season. It's there in black and white for all to see - literally.

If anyone doubted that this club isn't rotten to the core and in big trouble - there's your evidence. Thank fuck we have as many points on the board as we do.

Not as if it hasn't been coming. Been a god-awful first half. Would love to know what Pardew's gameplan is and what the hell the players are doing. Disgusting

Sounds like there's absolutely no leadership on the pitch (not for the first time this season) Have they given up on this season already? Getting our arses handed to us - christ knows how we are still level.

So glad I've decided not to watch this - making do with Radio Newcastle.

Yup - we are on the ropes here. Not good.

Pleased that Ben Arfa is starting. Just hope he takes his chance and makes sure Pardew can't drop him for Man United next week.

Interpolic - you Neil? I was joining in towards the end (John B) Tony Taylor - what a gimp.

I think there's been a few posts on the page of recent that suggest TS is a mouthpiece for the club and regime. I don't believe they are, but do cosy up to the club too much. I've been pulled a couple of times when I've called the regime 'Liars', but it's been proven in a court of arbitration so I'm not sure what the problem is.

It's way too early to write these lads off, FFS. I also find it amazing how many are so quick to turn on local youngsters?

Any word on when the lad is gonna be fit? We desperately need him.

Neither did Inzaghi, but he got service. Cisse gets fuck all.

It might as well be, for the job it's doing!

Great win for them tonight - looking good for a play-off place.

With Clingfilm?

It's worrying how much our home form has turned to shit in 2014. Already this year, we've been done 0-4 by Spurs, and 0-3 by both the mackems and Everton. What price Man United doing something similar, a week on Saturday? Not sure if I can be chowed to tune in anymore - might just make do with the wireless on in the background, as I did for the 2nd half tonight. Club is dying on it's arse.

It's all about the advertising and being in no danger of qualifying for the Europa League. Job done on both counts.

Cheap players that are nearly out of contract and of course, bought from france Of course I wouldn't choose to go back at the minute, to watch is as we are and how we are shaping up to be in the future under Ashley. No fucking way!

We simply now exist to make up the numbers of the PL. 8th/9th this season on the face of it might be OK, but what about next season? Remy not staying, Colo and Debucchy possibly away, Cisse being peddled, Shola leaving for pastures new (though he ran his race for us long ago) Relegation fight? Ashley may well go out and buy a couple of new strikers and a playmaker, but expecting them to hit the ground running is a massive ask.

I'll see if I can get on Total Sport tomorrow night, to pull Ando about what he said.

Ando having a go at Ben Arfa - saying that he did nout and deserves not to start.

t's a case of job done tonight - Europa League qualification no chance now, so Ashley will be happy. Osman makes it 3-0. It's another pasting at home.

Anita misses a sitter! Laid on by Ben Arfa.

de Jong off for Ben Arfa.
