Would not be at all surprised if we lose this. However we aren't playing horrendously- we're not down where we are due to a total lack of organisation ala Pardew era. We simply don't have a suitable squad.

Newcastle College is generally good but you have to get there early.

Think we'll see the benefits of Anita back in the team. 2-1 (I actually feel a 1-1 coming on but I'm trying to move away from being a total NUFC emo).

They'll probably get relegated. Those cups are evil.

HTT's post was pretty much spot on. What are you even talking about? Those who still attend matches/buy shirts etc. are funding this bleak oblivion Ashley has steered us into. It seems nothing is ever bad enough to turn people these days- they just want to be left alone and watch us struggle. They club is absolutely rudderless from top to bottom, and is totally hollow in every sense. Why do people even care if we go down? The only reason this club wants to stsy where it is is for financial gain- not to compete and be a proud sporting institution. I fucking hate NUFC tbh.

We deserve to go down tbh. The way the club has been run and is run, we don't deserve to be in the top flight. I'm not just saying it but the PL Is utter shit anyway- I won't miss it for one minute tbh, it's total bullshit. It could almost be a blessing going down to deny Ashley that tv money.

Very tough games coming up. By the time we play Everton on boxing day we'll be doing well to have 15 points. Very well. The more I think about it the more fucked I think we are- not that it really matters tbh. If going down means Ashley is more willing to sell then let it be.

He seemed to have his mind made up before it even went in- he went straight for our fans with his arms out. I'm not saying he definitely meant it, but it wouldn't be surprised. He was obviously finding a way to get back at us for the chants.

He's not going to achieve much with us, but no manager will under this regime, that's just the way it is. He's the best we're going to get tbh- and so far I like his attempts to get us playing some decent 'ball; he knows how to build a system around the likes of Janmaat, Wijnaldum etc. He won't ever have a 'squad' to work with, it will be a decent 11 with a couple of ok subs but otherwise the remaining will be utter bile like Gouffran, Williamson etc.

Still crushed by this. It's going to be a long, miserable week.

Even at 10 men we could have made it 1-1 with Mitrovic. We created enough chances- but unlike the mackems- didn't take any of them. Sky sports have a totally uneducated and delusional way of publishing football; that if you have more possession and don't win it's some sort of shock, undeserved loss. It doesn't work that way. But in saying that, we had more possession, chances and were better than them except for finishing- whi ch ultimately matters the most. However you dissect it, it's nearly impossible to stomach yet another defeat. I'm still angry at Pardew etc but not at McClaren.

We'll be ok but our season is very quickly turning into another one of nothingness and a pointless existence.

90% of our time dominating the mackems, in a general sense, was part of an era where we challenged for trophies and made it into European competition- both Champions League and UEFA Cup- whilst playing an exciting brand of football with iconic players. Now, their dominance is a direct result of our hugely corrupt and inept regime. It also coincides with a hugely underambitious time in their history where they are viewed as a joke of a club by the country now- scraping to survival each year, whilst they only ever turn up in the news after a laughable losing streak or, as we know by now, when they best us. Their dominance against us will represent a time in their history where they played an appalling standard of football, reflecting their ambitions on the field too- pouring their heart into bearing NUFC and surviving in the PL (in that order). Imo, we are suffering the worst period of managemen/ownership in NUFC's history, and it is no coincidence that we are now on the humiliating end of this '6 in a row' record they hold over us- and thanks to Ashley/Pardew, this is a shackle around our neck which will never be forgotten. It will take the club years and years to even come close to erasing the pain of this era (both in and away from Derby day), that it upsets me with each passing day.

Had a long sleep and woken up thinking this was just a bad dream. This club is a bad dream. They've beaten us 6 times in a row....what the fuck. They are such a horrible, worthless club, yet they have managed that.

Agreed.

Wasn't a peno or red btw- fucking scandalous decision. But our lack of quality from wide areas left us vulnerable to that counter attack. In saying that, we should have had a peno right before it. Everything that could go wrong today did, but we didn't do ourselves any favours.

I agree. The resignation off a lot of fans is nothing short of massively depressing. Our season now depends on two derby matches, yet we get battered in each one we play- and people just shrug it off and somehow convince themselves that 'next time their dead'. How? Why? Based on what? Personally, I am fucking dreading next March because I know that it will most likely be 7 in a fucking row. Either that or we'll pinch a draw and they'll get relegated without us having the last laugh. There is simply no excuse. We should have been 1-0 up before the penalty anyway. We were toothless today despite having a lot of the ball- not cutting edge. Yes, the ref was a total disgrace but we still didn't score. Lads...We didn't even score. Again. Ironically, my interest in the club will- once I emerge from this depression the latest catastrophe has put me into- wane considerably until the next derby. We will probably stay up, but we will also lose in the 3rd round of the FA Cup, with the possibility of selling in January. Just like our cringe worthy, obsessive, cuntish neighbours, we only have 2 matches of any form of meaning now- and we get humiliated in them each time. When will this Ashley era just end... I would do anything.

Why didn't he just hit that shot across the keeper.....why. would have been 1-1. Why. Why. Why.

We wont go down, but I genuinely couldn't give a fuck if we do. What difference does it make?

did you watch the game? this seems like an emo note to failure from someone who didn't watch what unfolded Yeah, I watched it until 2-0. The referee was terrible yes, but I think looking at the referee is just a sidenote. Pre-Pardew/Ashley Newcastle teams 1-0 down and a man down would have fought back to a 1-1 against a team as pitiful as that, s*** ref or not. looking at the referee is a sidenote? you've all lost it, totally lost it like You'd have a point if we'd lost 1-0. It is a sidenote, as I've said, pre Pardew/Ashley teams would have fought back for a draw in that situation against a team as s*** as that. Do you disagree with that point? I thought we did try to fight back, should have equalised but then ended up conceding more goals while chasing the game. Pretty hard to fight back when you are behind and down to 10 men. If the score was 0-0 then that's a different matter, we could just took a striker off and defended. This is what I said aye, we came back well enough but the second goal was a sucker punch, it doesn't render the rest of the performance invalid. It's the point I'm making about this losing mentality we have in the club though. It used to be unacceptable, now it seems excusable. Totally agree.

Eh? We completely dominated the game with 11 men and could easily have been 2 or 3 up. But we weren't 2 or 3 up. man. Please stop being a tool. Exactly. We had 45mins to go 1-0 up and we couldn't. They took their chances and we didn't. No matter which way you look at it it's a truly disgraceful result and, in the past when the club actually had dignity, this result was a sackable offence. Any loss to these cunts was.

Rotterdam will be bouncing tonight.

Only thing I'd blame him for was not starting Anita over Colback. We could have got Anita dropping in between or to the side of our CB's and got both Janmaat and Dummet bombing on to pin them back giving Gene and Perez more space. Otherwise there wasn't much he could do, especially after the red.

We didn't score. We had 45mins to score before their joke penalty. Yes we had a lot of the ball ut that doesn't mean shit in football if you don't score. A fucking disgrace of a result. 6 in a row is something that they'll never ever live down. It will be years until we can even say 2 in a row- or simply score against them. Final ball simply wasn't gold enough, there weren't enough runs from midfield beyond the ball to get in behind, whilst the decision to start Colback was abysmal. Yes, we were absolutely screwed over, but at the end of the day we've lost to these cunts yet again- and badly. They couldn't lose against us if they tried.

Just looked at their team sheet and am now sick with nerves. Hard to ever forgive myself from saying that, absolutely tragic. Please, please don't lose.
