Raylor 3 come off it. I know it's fashionable to hate him, but he wasn't as bad as that.

Yeah, they've beaten a Champions League rival by three goals. http://img.thisismoney.co.uk/i/pix/2008/06/LawrensonMM_203x150.jpg

He's wasting the easy fixtures. Wigan and Fulham at home, one point? That's crap. Funnily enough, we only got two points from those same fixtures last season, which many people on here, myself included, found nearly unforgivable.

Anyone who can score a goal past Derby County is probably worth buying, just in case we land the fuckers in the FA Cup.

What season was this?

As one of only four Newcastle fans in a bar with at least 60~ people in, that was fucking sweet. Di Santo's late goal was a cherry on the enormous cake that Pards and the lads served us today.

On nufc.com I wish I had.

I absolutely fucking despise Wayne Rooney. He's a good, yet hugely overrated player and an absolutely vile, slimy, cheating cunt of the highest order.

Owen's disallowed goal in the 6-0 game should have stood. Tevez's 6th never crossed the line in that game either. We were long overdue some luck in this fixture. Fuck the Mancs.

Perch did fine today. I obviously shouted loudly "but he's shit... why!" when he came on, but he slotted in perfectly fine.

He should have had that as a yellow and another one for that shove after the ref knacked Man U's breakaway. Both were easy yellow cards; the cunt didn't get one for either. The ref was absolutely shit today (yes, the pen we got, I mean from a neutral point).

I've been his harshest critic but he's really turned it around the last 3 or 4 games - he was magnificent today. That block on the line was brilliant.

Not long enough. Superb performance today.

Bloody hell, I was convinced he got booked for the second one. He might have been, I didn't see him get booked though. Happy to admit if I'm wrong about it.

Disagree. He was shaky, and even poor in spells: not shite though.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand repeat after me:

Everyone severely undermarks Ryan Taylor every single game. You're right in that Ben Arfa probably wasn't worse than him; I'd happily revise R.Taylor to a 5.5 because Ben Arfa wasn't really worthy of a 6 imo.

It should have been a yellow card, and also he should have had a second yellow for that ridiculous shove foul he did too. Absolutely disgusting that the ref didn't book him for even one of them. Hope the balding cunt breaks his neck.

Great result, some brilliant defending towards the end, huge slices of luck that have deserted us at OT in previous years finally arrived too: but the performance was by and large excellent and we totally deserved something. Krul 9 - Immense saves at key moments, got fuck all protection from the referee too. R.Taylor 6 - Largely rank set pieces, skinned a fair few times but coped well enough on the whole. S.Taylor 9 - Magnificent throughout Coloccini 9 - Absolutely brilliant, dead unlucky not to score from the corner chance too Simpson 8.5 - Played very well and gets a bonus .5 for that block on the line, first rate Obertan 5 - Looked disinterested despite pre-match waffle, decision making terrible and bottled a few tackles. Correctly removed Guthrie 8 - Carried on his good form, played well even after his inevitable booking. Passing was nice Cabaye 7 - Had a few iffy spells, made some great tackles though and passing as ever was good Jonas 5 - Better than Obertan defensively (obv.), ball retention not up to usual standards, loses a mark for silly red too Ba 7 - Great penalty, was clearly fucked after 60 minutes but kept on battling, crucial in the last 9 or 10 minutes HBA 5.5 - out of sorts, wound up and didn't release the ball fast enough. The odd encouraging glimmer SUBS: Sammy 5 - maybe not the game for him, or the right moment - loses the ball a lot Perch 6.5 - can't complain, one particularly brilliant tackle and another nicely threaded ball for Ba Lovenkrands 5 - all I remember is one brilliant interception and then him passing the ball straight back again to the guy he tackled Other points: - fucking disgrace that Rooney wasn't booked when he shoved our player over when he was on the ball - penalty was never a pen but who cares, we got a pen at Old Trafford! Christ on a cross! - Pards was his usual energetic self on the touchline - Hernandez looked on to me for that late disallowed goal, need to see it again though - Not so sure the free kick award that lead to the spawny home opener was one either: need to see it again - Man U players all cunts for surrounding referee at the end: particularly Young who was dogshit and could have had a hattrick were he not so poor

Seeing as I'll be outnumbered at least 10-1 by Man U fans tomorrow, if Perch is playing I am going to sit in the pub toilets and cry.

2 or 3 goals in MUFC vs NUFC @ evens (£5)

Simpson getting the armband if Colo is out ffs

Perch playing in central defence would result in a 28-0 defeat.
