Aye, it's almost as if some of us are from Newcastle-upon-Tyne. What a stupid f***ing thing to say. What? Now that was a stupid thing to say. Blaming the system, the owners, Kinnear etc is bloody stupid and pointless. They pretty much had their strongest team out and we didn't even come close. I think we would have beaten them easily otherwise. We played alright on the whole and they played well. But hey let's play the blame game all over again! That's so much more fun! I blame Owne for having muscle tissue made out of tissue paper! I blame Freddy Shepherd and John Hall for selling the club to that evil non-Geordie Mike Ashley! I blame Keegan for being a stroppy little man! yada, yada, yada, yada bollox. Two players (Owen, Viduka) from our best team. Sorry, but you can't blame injuries on this one. Jonas got 15 mins because he only just returned, as did Barton. If they are fit enough to play the 90, we win this game easily imo. Beye still isn't quite right either and Martins doesn't look very sharp. How would we win it easily? When they'd both probably be bypassed anyway with the ball being aimed far beyond their reaches. Did you watch the match? Did you see what happened after they both came on? You don't have the first clue what this means to people from this area so why bother offering comment? f***s sake What's your problem? Kaka thinks I'm overreacting. I say that when he's actually seen the Tyne Bridge, he'll have the right to tell me I'm overreacting to a derby defeat. Until then, he should keep his f***ing nose out. you're telling him he shouldnt even bother having an opinion because he's not local? classic. He's not allowed to tell me I'm overreacting, no. Fairly f***ing obvious iyam. he wasnt the only person to say things about overreacting. passed without comment too i believe. but whatever. overreact, underreact, who cares? at least you're local. Seriously don't bother. It is a meaningless comment that has no effect on me whatsoever, and it shouldn't have on anyone who isn't local and still chooses to support the club, even in the awesome state it is in! The theory that local supporters are great supporters by virtue of being local sort of correlates to the theory that local players i.e. Steven Taylor is a great player by virtue of being from the area. Bollox theory, which "our" Steven continues to rubbish with every passing game.

Oh I'm so torn up inside because the local Geordies don't accept me as a Newcastle supporter! Whatever will I do with myself! If you think that gets to me your dead wrong. I'll support who the hell I want and in whatever manner I choose to. One thing I know for sure is that I support the club a whole lot better than some of the lot that gaze at the Tyne bridge all day. Very ignorant statement. Anyway ... my point about over reacting was in relation to dragging up the whole Ashley vs the Geordies bollox because we lost a close derby game at a very improved Sunderland side. That is an embarrassing over reaction. By all means vent your frustraton over the game, but for f*** sake the world vs Ashley nonsense has been done to death already. No need drudging it up after every loss. Pathetic.

Can't see any British manager dropping him and playing Guthrie and Barton, even though this is exactly what needs to happen. He's ever so experienced you see! He's been given the freakin' armband for goodness sake! Tragic ...

Then who the f*** do we blame? 11 players were out on that pitch and they had enough opportunities to get a result in this game. They didn't. Period.

Wow ... some really surprising over reactions on here. I thought we did very well today in the first half. Unfortunately a lot of our players are only just returning from injuries or long periods out of the first team and so we faded badly in the second. We have so much to look forward to though. I loved what I was seeing from Barton and Jonas after they came on, it's just very unfortunate they couldn't play more of the game today. I think we are really set to go on a roll. This game unfortunately came just a week too early for us. Fair play to Cisse. A lot of people think he's rubbish but he is a very dangerous striker imo. Jones and Cisse will be a very good partnership for them. Looking forward to the return fixture. We'll hammer them.

The system rules! It gave us Colo, Gutierrez, Bassong, Guthrie etc. The system is allowing Joe Kinnear to step off the street and effectively manage the club. The system loves us. Love it back. Keegan was envious, he felt jilted he was too needy, wanted all the love. The system shares its love. Keegan doesn't. The system wins.

Mark Hughes is a dead man walking ... City fans are already moaning about him big time.

Ashley to remain owner. Kinnear to manage and curse at the media. Dennis Wise to bring in Bassongs, Colos and Gutis.

Ameobi's goal was brilliant. Yes he mishit it, but the goal was all about the little touch with his chest to get it away from the last defender. Sensational composure and he deserved the goal for that alone.

Outstanding, monumental effort from every single player tonight. We will never go down with that kind of effort and desire. Hats off to Kinnear. It was sad to the three points but I am very happy with everything in general tonight.

Shola has been great so far.

Joe Kinnear has actually got Shola playing pretty well and Duff too. I cannot say enough about the players effort tonight. Absolute first rate. Bringin in Kinnear has definitely made a difference. It would be awesome if we could get something even after being cheated the way we were. Come on lads! Oh ... how much does Mark hughes suck. he won't last past the end of the season. City have been pretty lacklustre all things considered.

One of the most tragic things about our current team. Everytime we get a corner it's almost an advantage to the other team, as the first man usually clears it and all of a sudden they are breaking on us while all our defenders are in their box! It's crazy. Every manager we have had recently was guilty of continuing to allow N'Zogbia and Milner to take them for some reason. They continued to make a mess of them time and time again with no change being made. Guthrie took a few that were veautifully flighted in, but then he never took anymore and it was Zoggy and Geremi time and time again. Geremi at least occassionally gets one right, but not nearly enough still.

Modric was the only one showing any sort of urgency yesterday. Slot him into Arsenals midfield and he would look brilliant. The movement of the players was so absurdly shocking that he hardly ever had anyone to pass the ball forward to and so ended up playing it back to Jenas who was always too far behind him, or he got caught on the ball. Jenas is disturbingly bad. I honestly can't for the life of me see why anyone would put him in any first team. He is supposed to be this energetic attacking midfielder but is always behind the ball in the first place, and when he is on the ball he always passes it backwards! If I was playing a 3 man midfield it would be Modric just behind the striker with Zokora and Huddlestone in behind him. Huddlestone can at least pick out a forward pass, and would link up well with Modric, and although he isn't that mobile, Zokora's mobility would help make up for it. Jenas for all his supposed mobility, hardly ever gets back to break up play or gets forward often enough to do anything effective.

I think Coloccini has been brilliant. He has made mistakes, but he has clearly shown he has some ability and is a committed and slightly cynical defender (which I love). He will only get beter. Considering he has only just joined the most physically demanding league and he has Nicky Butt in front of him as DM, the young and erratic Taylor beside him at CB, and he is yet to play alongside an actual left back, I think it is a miracle he hasn't fallen to pieces yet. I think he'll prove to be a very good signing. He'll only get better.

Heskey is a wonderful team player. Isn't it amazing how almost every striker he plays alongside does so well? I include the new guy at Wigan also, Amir Zaki. It certainly cannot be a coincidence. It's such a shame he doesn't quite score enough goals, as it means he is hugely underated. Rooney hasn't had the opportunity to play behind a striker with some presence for a little while now, and with Heskey for England and Berbatov for Man U, I think he will begin to play far better football.

Andre, andre, andre, andre, arrrrrrrriiiiiiibaaaaaaaaa!!!arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiibaaaaaa!!! Andre, andre andre!!!

Look all in all this Owen thing hasn't worked out great for us. I'm not saying it's all his fault either. He's had his fitness issues and we are still a bloody mess as a club. The man's contract is up and we are about to start over anew again. No better time to part ways. If we can get someone in who is willing to invest in the squad, then we have to go out there and find another striker and let Owen be. Martins is a decent threat already. We need to go and get him a more ideal partner and ust let Owen go. Someone needs to come in and put in the work to find the right striker. It won't be easy but it's the right time to do it.

He's had a decent run but it was always going to happen. Owen was made from the same mould as the likes of Bellamy, Dyer and Ashton. It's just the nature of them. they will always struggle mightliy with injuries. He's only getting older too so it won't get any better. What, glass? Nah, tissue paper apparently.

Wow ... so it appears we got him for free without paying a single euro. Amazing.

Well tbh it was only a matter of time really. The run of games Owen had going was a bit of an aberation. He's typically more unfit than fit and with how fit he had managed to stay lately it was always just around the corner. I still think we'll be alright though. As long as Jonas is back and we do not play Zoggy at left back under any circumstances we should be fine. Zoggy on one wing and Jonas on the other with Duff and another upfront.
