I find it difficult to support a club that revere Alan Smith. That is all.

We should throw the police in prison then, just incase they mis-time their gunshots and kill an old lady. Fucking bollocks game, football these days.

Newcastle are actually in utter disarray. This is so, so awful. And yes, it is Pardew's fault.

Both feet off the ground, studs showing - the fact that he won the ball is irrelevant. It's not though. if its 2 footed off the ground theres no chance of it been overturned It was NOT two footed.

I'm afraid it was. You can't jump into a tackle like that. That's fucking bollocks, I'm sorry. He jumped at the ball to get the extra yard. He jumped with one foot, down, and won the ball clearly.

How can you argue that's a red!? It's just NOT.

Should be overturned. Anyway, I'm off.

2-0 and he brings on a Defensive Midfielder haha. Just realised. Mancini in disguise.

This is the worst performance I have ever seen from a Newcastle team.

This Alan Smith thing though, seriously.

Pardew's got it all wrong today. No passion, wrong tactics.

We are awful.

Jesus.

Alan Smith...

This is the worst tactical performance I've ever seen.

Awful game this.

Let's go lads!

Barton's cheeky smile

Agree - their manager appears to be a complete cock. Just what I was thinking.

These guys are inherently unlikeable.

LOL at that desk

Andre Marriner. Oh balls.

You can't drop Nolan. We're half the team without Nolan's captaincy. Wish it weren't the case, but it's true.

He's likely to be fit according to co.uk.

What top-form??? The guy hasn't had a decent set of performances since he's been at the club. Utter bollocks. it's just typical NUFC 'pick a scapegoat and run with it' disease. Been the same with Taylor for the last few seasons. Usually based on foundations of sand but perpetuated endlessly. Agreed. Jonas terrorised defences in the Championship and put in a good few assists. He was almost unplayable on his debut against Old Trafford. The problem this season was always going to be that Jonas and Enrique are tremendously easy to read in the attack. Once you do your homework, it's very easy to defend against them and that negates their threat hugely. Barton has been a revelation partially because no one saw it coming, and him and Simpson are forming a similar partnership. Jonas is a top athlete, but once that fails he's nothing. I'm convinced he's carrying an injury. He didn't look fit from the first minute of the West Ham game. It's not just that he didn't look good, he looked exhausted and the guy beside me agreed. (Didn't stop everyone behind me from giving him abuse) It's the only reason I think they had Ferguson on the bench: they knew they weren't going to get 90 minutes out of Jonas. The guy needs a rest, quite simply. A few weeks off and rejuvenated and his body will be back up to speed. His sloppy mistakes will be cut out and his athleticism will improve to what it can be (and on his day, he can skin/win a free kick off the best defenders in the league). His delivery really is awful, though, which is why he relies on Jose so often to knock it back to.
