That one player story if true.

Making a mockery of what Ashley and Llambiarse did to him. Well done Hughton.

Should have gone to the stewards - no sense in tackling them on your own. Ignorant arseholes.

Outstanding today. Him, Tiote and Cabaye (when fit) should be the way the midfield lines up.

At least we had a go in the 2nd half, but Citeh deserved winners in the end. No complaints here, bar Newcastle's lack of quality and dodgy defending. Anita was outstanding.

The gulf in class between both sides is showing through. Whilst we have done OK going forwards (through being very direct), Citeh look capable of scoring every time they go forward - passing and movement is just too quick and intricate. If Citeh allow us back into this, they want shooting! For us, it's a lack of depth and quality once again and it's not as if we have any options on the bench. This is what happens when the owner does not invest, when he should have. Facing a relegation battle, as it stands.

It was only yesterday Pardew was going on about having a go at Man City, was it not?

A team set up for damage limitation. Not going to make for good viewing. No intent from Pardew to try and win the game - aiming to win a point at best, or keep the score down.

The Jimmy Saville/Cattermole song needs to stop. Poor taste and very wrong, IMO. Can someone not have a word with the charvas who go to away game?

Helluva result for Bradford! Wenger under more pressure?

Our performance was 'patchy' to say the least, last night. Another slow start that got punished and whilst the tempo did pick up - more often than not, the passing and first touch were not good enough. Much work ahead, and save QPR the weekend after next, it's hard to see where the next point could come from before January. Will say it again - paying the price for Ashley's gamble not to invest in the summer.
