Big Geordie

Bound to me game of the day - I'll be recording it, safe to say.

Nolan just wide!

Jesus H Christ Tiote!

5mins left.... howay lads.

Another pen!

Well, at least we are winning the 2nd half. Pleased that the lads have shown some bottle at least. Ranger just misses a great chance.

Leon Best makes it 4-2.!

Best scores - offside again though.

Penalty to us.... Best fouled.

Diaby sent off. Pushing Barton and Nolan.

Walcott should have just mae it 5-0 - went for the pass instead of shooting.

Two years ago all over again. *sighs*

Pardew is such an amazing manager. All the hard work has been destroyed in about 6 weeks. Sensational job. This. It's all gone downhill since they sacked Hughton, OK, so he had some good results - but he's allowed himself to be a patsy and now Llambias and Ashley have hung him out to dry.

3-0 Van Persie

I'm tempted to switch the wireless of. Apathy indeed, but it's what we have been reduced to.

Relegation here we come lads.

2-0 now Djouru

Here we go. Walcott makes it 1-0.

Radio Newcastle think we'll go 4-4-1-1 Lovenkrands down the right (!), Barton moved inside along with Tiote and Nolan off Best.

Stoke go 3-2 up!

Tough game today to say the least. Arsenal will have too much for us and take it 2-0.

It just seemed like an excuse to me, on his part. Probably not wanting to upset those at NUFC, IMO.

Heard an interesting call on Total Sport last night - fella made a comment on the Keegan court-case (where those running the club admitted to lying to fans and the local media), which was nipped in the bud by the host. His excuse was because it was a court case, that it couldn't be discussed - despite the admissions of the club being proven. Opens up a bigger question though in that do the local media (BBC/ITV, Journal and the Chon) back the club and the regime too much? It's my thinking that the media are there to represent the likes of us and not align themselves with the club in order to get a first break on new stories. Any thoughts ladies and gentlemen?

Is he better than Frank Gilmour?!

Dave.
