Barton.

Now I think about it, Jonas is tailormade for Stoke - has pace and he can rarely get his crosses off the ground - just what we needed!

To say Krul was our biggest liability is a bit of a stretch, but he certainly didn't seem authoritative in commanding the box - which is not unexpected. Perch was clearly our biggest liability, and every team under the sun knows it.

Nice corner for Ameobi's winner against Chelsea too. He's not actually as unproductive as people seem to think. Getting better, just way too slowly. Glad to have him in the squad, but epitomises the frustration that is Newcastle

Think the blame can largely be attributed to the players, personally. We were too comfortable at half-time - no urgency. Using Andy Carroll as a beanpole-Niall-Quinnesque front man is fucking stupid though and CH should have drilled it into our players at half-time to play it on the ground against Stoke. They've got a team full of hulking neanderthals with no pace - that's a bit of a clue as how to beat them tbh! It's been a bizarre weekend of football, revenge of the "minnows" but we just lost to a really bad side. Bit fucking angry, but it's Newcastle. It's so, so Newcastle. We're so desperately close to being a good side, but we're not.

Good controlled half. Like to see a bit more urgency and zip in the final third, but very good half all the same.

YES!!!

Stoke are shite. Giving us loads of time. We should get an early goal.

Ouch. Unlucky guys

Aye bit of a possession football by Villa would seal the deal.

Get the ball to Ashley, FFS!

Desperately close. Next dodgy Wolves tackle Shirley.

Knew it'd be Ashley to draw it!

Wtf why are Wolves suddenly playing like their mothers are watching!

Tevez is still a beast though.

That should've been a yellow. Ball had gone a long time before he clipped him.

Here we go.

A Villa away goal would get the cards flowing...

Marky555 must be absolutely bricking it!

HT at the Reebok. Man Utd as you would expect dominating play without fashioning too many clear cut chances and Bolton looking vaguely dangerous when they break on the flanks.

Good goal, looks a lot more effective attacking through the middle than the wings Nani.

Betting on it, Wulls?

The referee will hand out medals to both teams for fair play and impeccable sportsmanship at the end of the match now.
