Newcastle United 1 - 2 Stoke City - 26/09/10 - post match reaction from page 31

[Newcastle Fan]

Brilliant first half, too comfortable, i was just worried that we won't score and it'll be another Blackpool, lets keep it up in the 2nd half.

[Guest neesy111]

Should teams like stoke be banned from football, because if I were a neutral I would of switched off that match after 15 mins.

 

We might not like it but there is no law against playing shite football. If the manager can get the players, board and supporters to buy what they are selling then good luck to them. If everyone played the same way football would not be as interesting.

 

And tbf, we've served up some awful dross in our time.

 

Nothing on the scale of that.  This is an entertainment business, if all teams played like Stoke their would be nee-one willing to pay to watch the fucker.

Who are the commentators?

c***'s is what they are, Gray and Tyler are their names I believe.

 

I don't have Tyler and Gray. Whoever they are, they're spot on. Well impressed.

 

I think I have the same group. Haven't cursed at them once.

[Dave]

Huth.

 

What a moron.

[Lenny]

I can't stand Andy Gray. Unless it's a top team he's not interested.

 

Not a bad performance, we've been the better team and played some nice stuff (dare I say it... as usual), but we've got more in us.

 

Barton, Enrique, and Colo have been superb, no one has really been poor.... except Routledge, I think this is the worst he's played this season so far. Looks like he's lacking confidence or something, afraid to take on his man.

[Newcastle Fan]

I actually feel bad to see the heros of Wednsday on the bench today..

Think you have the same international Premiership feed as me. It was two men with English sounding names. I've agreed with almost everything they've said. Stark change from Everton.

[Guest firetotheworks]

No changes needed imo, Carroll is quietly diverting the attention, we just need the others to step up, Routledge especially.

[hakka]

Was Barton's challenge really a penalty? looks like they both went in as much as each other!

[James]

Nicky Butt what a cunt

thats what i think but i can see what pulis might be moaning about

I'm biased but it would have been soft as fuck IMO. Nowhere near as blatant as Huth on Carroll.

[Guest Mani]

crossing is not the way to beat stoke, thats meat and drink for their defence,

 

houghton needs to tell wayne to stop crossing everytime, and try and cut in more to dink sum little balls in, same for ben arfa but iv noticed we r not attacking their right side much at all.

 

think we identified their leftback is their weakness but so far we havent taken advantage.  should try their right side more 2nd half.

[Mr Logic]

Currently sitting 5th in the table, looks nice.

Went into his back...a soft penalty but still a penalty in my eyes...stupid of Barton to take the risk!

Think shola would offer more than carrol in this game (tinhat)

What I don't understand is routledge normally does cut in and dink balls in, today he seems to think its a good idea to cross.

I think I agree with you actually.

[David28]

I hope that we'll go for the 2nd and 3rd goal. The goal difference will always be important for us (as it already is, as it makes the difference between beeing 5th or 7th)

 

Would also show how dominant we've been more than only a 1-0 win.

If they were accurate they'd cause some problems, HBA has already shown decent quick high balls in the box unsettles them, just Routledge can't even beat his first man with a cross nevermind get one in the box and having it come in at a dangerous angle and with pace.

Lovenkrands would offer more with the balls BA can play.

[Thespence]

Big Kev gives his all but he just cant keep up with play if Benny or lil Wayne charge down the flanks with the ball AC has to head at goal as there is no one to flick onto.

[Anderson]

If only we'd got 3 points from Blackpool..

It's annoyed me for 2 weeks now.

Also Nicky Butt is possibly the worst pundit I've ever seen.

[La Parka]

I'd bring the danger on if rout doesn't get going by the 55th min.

[Interpolic]

Barton's been excellent.

Starting to get a bit of a man-crush on Tiote.

 

I'd be smitten if I didn't think he could destroy me with a glance.
