We conceded a very sloppy goal. Whilst we were always the better team, w looked lethargic and disinterested in the first half. Obertan coming off transformed us. Ameobi was good, and Ben Arfa went from looking awful to terrorising them on the wing. In the end, we had tons of chances and they had very few. Deserved result. They started time wasting at 37 minutes.

Such a disgusting football club.

Only the fourth ever Newcastle player to win it in the Premiership. Shearer, Lee and Ginola the others.

Is that a joke?

It's usually about 48 hours for MOTD2.

My flight from Belfast on Tuesday was cancelled so I missed this. So. Angry. And my flight this morning was cancelled too.

He was the Tiote of Old. Tremendous

Was brilliant today.

I've criticised Pardew every time he's got it wrong. But he couldn't have got it more right tonight. Top marks for him, and all the lads.

Ryan Taylor and Ameobi ahead of Ben Arfa. Pardew deserves shot, tbh.

Rooney, Nani, Valencia, Welbeck, Hernandez, Berbatov... All start... Oh sweet God.

Why in the name of Christ can't they pick the same fucking shade of black?

Lovenkrands does. He's just not good enough.

I really wonder about our medical team, mistaking a 4 week absence for 2 day one.

In fairness to Simpson, Tiote shouldn't have put him in that situation. He arsed about on the ball for way too long.

Thought he was awful today. Ironically, the FK that shouldn't have been was one of his best tackles.

Tiote and Obertan were awful.

Got it all wrong tonight. Pressure could well start on him soon with this poor run.

Van Persie, Silva, Van der Vaart, Modric.

Britain generally felt Coloccini was awful after we were relegated. They were right too, he was not good in the second half of that season. People can develop. Maybe Tomkins has too.

We do produce some real shite.

They are not corrupt, they are just plain crap at it. I believe that there are certain decisions that are simply too poor to be down to negligence. Any industry where so much money is at stake is never free from corruption. FIFA know it goes on, otherwise they'd have been keen to introduce video technology to help.

Refereeing in the Premier League is corrupt. It's plain for all to see.

Pardew must just have gotten confused.
