We havent been fired up for any of the derbies under Pardew bar the over the wall one. Agreed. Look at the team which won 5-1, probably worse off in every department, but showed more fight than this lot! So many have gone missing today. Only Tiote/Cabaye have had good games, imo.

Cisse has been his usual woeful self like. Why do we even bother with him? Shola has contributed more.

Losing to this lot! FFS!

Cisse coming on apparently

Surprised Cuellar doesn't get much of a game like. Think he's their most solid CB. Would of preferred him to be on the bench, tbh.

Getting nervous now, haha. Was so calm all morning, but so close to kick off now....

They were shocking all game, lol

Don't deserve that like. Stoke have been great all game.

Man.Utd being booed off. Don't think that's ever happened before, lol. Stoke had all the best chances, and could of scored 3 or 4, but Man.Utd have had most of the possession, but created nothing. Just being restricted to long range shots.

All the great chances are falling to Stoke atm. Need a 2nd. Surely Man.Utd won't be this bad in the second half?

Bruce saying that McGregor is out for 6 weeks for Hull, so Steve Harper will come in for his Hull debut...away to Spurs

Such a strange hire, don't know a single person who thought that would be a success. Think Stoke are one of those teams that weren't gonna go up or down under Pulis, just stand still. But without him, I reckon they could be in big trouble this year.

Players walking out onto the pitch wearing those team jackets, then immediately taking them off once hand shakes are completed. Why bother? Just come out in your kit.

Guy on Sky Sports suggested to Neville that the mackems should already be thinking about next season and getting out of the Championship, lol.

Lee Probert has been appointed referee for Sunderland v Newcastle United on 27/10/13 #SUNNEW What's he usually like with us? Fair, or a bit of a Howard Webb?

The commentator on MOTD even questioned whether or not our second goal should of stood. Heard nothing in the media about us, just been going on about Gerrard constantly. Almost as if we weren't there.

First goal will be crucial like. They collapsed at Swansea as soon as they went behind, so if we can do what we did last year and nick a goal early on, I would think we'd go onto win. Providing nobody gets sent off of course...

Will be thankful they were in the same league as the mackems, Palace & Fulham, imo. Could easily go down otherwise.

Changing the badge: Think we actually have one of the best badges, always thought it looked great, but I wouldn't be majorly against this. Changing the stadium name: Been there, done that. Providing it wasn't anything too embarrassing, I'd be ok with it. Changing the colors: Wouldn't support this. A team is recognised by its traditional look and design, and if I'd turn on Sky Sports, and see our game, and we'd be playing in yellow or something, I wouldn't feel like I'd be watching a Newcastle match. Changing the name: No. Never. Obviously I'd love a take over to get rid of Ashley, but for me to be ok with the badge/stadium name changes, there would need to be an obvious improvement to the team and management.

A quick 60 second recap of the game on Goals on Sunday, now talking about Liverpool...

Thought it was a red myself. Surprised he got away with that!

Could of easily of been 6-0.

4-0

Still plenty of time left for it to get worse
