AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Proud of the lads and Hughton after this one, we wuz robbed basically. I was watching it in the pub and I hadn't even got a drink and sat down by the time our best player was being stretchered off. Then as I got to my seat they were being gifted a goal by the ref. Follow that up with a great equaliser and being robbed of a certain penalty at the end, just makes you wonder WTF was going on. That amount of bad luck is enough for a month, never mind one game. Just hope we can pull together and beat Wigan by a good couple of goals. We still badly need to drop Nolan, he was a passenger yet again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I was impressed with Hughton's interview after the match. The transcripts don't read very well, but watching it you can see he was boiling inside - here's hoping he can channel that into a siege, us against the world mentality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Thought dot com have a pretty accurate view of things, the midfield was solid (despite the desperation from certain sections on here to insist otherwise) and we gave a pretty good account of ourselves. You do wonder how much longer we'll continue to experience shocking refereeing decisions though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The high defensive line seemed a bit mental, but I suppose in the end it didn't actually lead to that many chances. Pleased with the performance, but obviously the whole thing is marred by the injury and the penalty decisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeezed the game in the middle of the park and showed their midfield up as lacking creativity and the ability to play quick one touch football.

Pleased with the performance, but obviously the whole thing is marred by the injury and the penalty decisions. Considering the quality of the opposition midfield and forwards apart from a wrongly given penalty and an excellent individual goal I can't remember them threatening us. Great credit to our defence and midfield for that. Like you, I was proud of our manager and team on the day but at the same time really sick and depressed about the way it panned out. One thing I'd like to see from Hughton is a little bit less "fair play nice guy" and a touch more of the Ferguson pugnacity, where any referee or opposition thug would know they'd be getting both barrels from him as they leave the pitch. That said CH was about as angry as we've ever seen him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said CH was about as angry as we've ever seen him. Yeah, my strongest feeling after the game was pride, despite the sadness of Ben Arfa's injury. Manager and players showed a lot of heart. I don't know about having a go at the opposition as they leave the pitch though. That sounds more Souness than Ferguson. Keeping your composure sets the right example, and losing it can show the opposition you're rattled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 OK i've had time to calm down, my view. Personally i don't think it was a horror challenge but it certainly wasn't a good challenge. No matter how many times i look at it, it wasn't a sending off, even though i think De Jong is a dirty bastard. The ref was atrocious, got two penalty or "pelanty" (if your Chris Waddle) decisions completely wrong. However, according the the commentators it's ok because he is one of the "top refs" in this country. Says all you need to know about the standard of refs. My ratings; Krul- 7 Hardly had a thing to do all game. Perch- 5.5 Looks our weakest link by far, not that he had a terrible game though. Colo- 7.5 Was excellent until he went off, fills me with confidence for the rest of the season. Williamson- 6.5 Was never really troubled and dealt with Adebayor's physique when he came on. Enrique- 7 Looks a much better player when Jonas is with him. Routledge- 5 Off the pace somewhat, seems a confidence player who's lacking confidence. Tiote- 8 MOM Was everywhere, surely one of the best midfielders i've seen at the club in a long time. Barton- 6 Was steady but never really influenced the game much. Jonas -7.5 Had a great game, tore Boateng a new one. Nolan -5 Piss poor as usual. Ameobi- 6 held the ball up well but never had any opportunities to hurt City. Sub- Campbell- 7 Looked solid as a rock, encouraging with Taylor still to return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 i'd also like to know why williamson was booked for the pen. if it was a deliberate foul it had to be red. if it was the last in persistent foul it's a yellow but thats not what happened here, was it mistimed but reckless, no. surely if thats worthy of a yellow the ref then has to book for every foul.

Dave Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2010/10/04/chris-hughton-i-was-right-to-axe-andy-carroll-72703-27396956/? Hughton told the Chronicle: “What I have to do is pick the players that are going to win us a game for Newcastle United. “Andy, in the last couple of games, has been a bit below par. “He had a little bit of a virus too, which brought him down a touch, and what we have in Shola is a player on the back of a very good performance against Chelsea, and a very good week’s training. “He just got the edge over Andy.” Either Hughton literally repeated word for word what he told the BBC after the game or Ryder is going for the old 'Alan Oliver' approach.

johnnypd Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 with ben arfa's injury and the way the game panned out i probably haven't felt as bad after a result since the partizan game, villa excepted. just a crushing, crushing blow when things were looking so bright. gullit was right, we're cursed.

He only went to the bench like (players do it all the time), just happens the benches are nowhere near the pitch at Eastlands. Let people celebrate their goals man.
