tbf some of tiotes shots could tachnically be called, balls out wide into space. They are filed under "clearances".

They've had one shot on goal, and that was a freekick. Not on target. Dreadful, we should be miles and miles clear.

Finally. I'm sick of watching these games where we piss it, but can't score.

Are you playing 4 attacking midfielders again? Naah, it's a proper team today. Still can't put the ball in the fucking net, like.

Dembele booked. Apparently being pushed by Shawcross is a yellow card offence.

Deux points. I rock.

Delayed reaction from the several yellow cards he should have got against us...

Me too, and I had a decent week last week. Guy I was up against was terrible but had his best week of the year - he's four thousand and somethingth in Kuwait.

Yeah, I'm not so worried about him. Just pissed off that I've been trying to get rid of Kolo Toure for weeks, but injuries have forced my hand.

Ramsey injured, Zabaleta not playing, Yaya not playing, Rooney not playing. Kolo Toure sitting on my bench. This is going to get messy.

This is shaping up to be a very bad week .

This is true Dave - I have stood many times at a packed SJP/Gallowgate/Leazes End and never once did I feel in danger, even during the Fairs Cup Final in 1969 when we could sway down several terraces after a goal was scored. Hillsborough should not have been used to wipe out standing and why should the views of one club - Liverpool - be allowed to dictate to the rest of football? I have my own views about what happened there and isn't it interesting that Liverpool afficionados, like the BBC etc, never mention their fans' part in the debacle v Juventus in 1985 which was 4 years prior to Hillsborough...? If that had been NUFC fans, we'd never have heard the last of it - some in the media still drag up the pitch invasion v Forest during the FA Cup tie in 1974 even though nobody was seriously injured, as a club to beat NUFC fans with... Unfortunately, the world is now run for the benefit of Human Rights Lawyers and those who make a living chasing ambulances to sign up damages claimants so they clubs are unlikely to want standing areas returned, just in case..... I broadly agree, but you're being a bit paranoid about the 1974 pitch invasion . I think that very few, if any, younger non-Newcastle United fans will have heard of it, whereas many will know about Heysel. Not that there isn't a solid pro-Liverpool bias in the media in general. It's sad that even someone as long-standing a supporter as Dave can say that he hasn't stood at St James' Park. We're heading towards a time when two whole generations will be able to say that, and I think it's a real pity. It was a completely different experience, and I feel incredibly lucky to have experienced it. We should be able to do so again.

So what's all this about Rooney missing out today??

Think it's been open and pretty good so far.

Stephen Reid is a dirty fucking cunt who should have been off this pitch long ago.

f***ing bobbly soft one too. judging by that midfield i'd get used to that I'd have said so, but it was just a ball into the box that bounced off a couple of people straight to Olsson right in front. Spawny get. It's actually been a pretty good game. West Brom look more organized, pressing and kicking people when they don't have the ball, but playing nice football when they do. We look dangerous but a bit haphazard. Quelle surprise.

Fucking bobbly soft one too.

Bollocks, was going to play Kasami but left him on the bench.

West Brom kicking us all over the park. Luckily they chose to do so a bit too close to their own goal.

Things I have learned this week - if there are midweek games don't do two transfers on Monday. Bloody injuries.

WOW indeed, would not have thought that Nice little stat to have up your sleeve in a footie row Probs best not to. Look at Leeds.

I can state categorically that this is nonsense. By and large, we think we're now in a position to expect a challenge for top four every season. Winning the league is a different kettle of fish.

Not a chance. Arsenal get the same treatment with Smith, Charlie Nicholas etc etc.

Alright lads you will be two points ahead of us by the end of the day as things stand. Relax. Us I know, that's difficult to stomach. Ahem.

I'm slightly out of the loop over here in the US, but it feels like this might be the end of the line for Hughton.
