We were awful until they scored
I disagree. And even then, so what? The moaning carried on until half time.
Your expectations are pretty low
Nah, they're just not stupidly entitled now that Rafa's pulled off a miracle getting us safe.
That's irrelevant. I don't feel entitled to a good performance, it doesn't mean that it's wrong to call a bad performance a bad performance
Like I said, I disagree with you about it being a bad performance. That's the beginning and end of it really. You brought up expectations.
Aye your expectations for what you consider a decent performance. I don't know how you could argue the first half an hour of this wasn't awful considering we're at home to one of the worst teams in the league
Nope. Saying it's not a bad performance isn't the same as saying it's a decent performance. It's not that hard to fathom, there's a scale of bad Newcastle performances in the Premier League and I don't think this is anywhere near being one of them.
Not to be all 'this place' but yeah, this place.
Right, not creating anything in a half an hour at home to one of the worst teams in the league isn't a bad performance, fair enough
If only football was that simple.
They're fighting for their lives, we're not.
We're safe, they're not.
They've got new manager bounce.
They're unbeaten since Pardew left.
It was half an hour.
After that half an hour, we hit the post and had 2 great chances - the moaning continued.
But yeah, everything's bad forever because we weren't up to the same standards of our previous run, for half an hour.
Like I said, this place.
No one said that though.
