I couldn't really hear in the bar like, but the camera went to our fans at one point and it looked absolutely brilliant up there.

Perch gets a higher rating than the goalscorer!? :lol:

 

Rightly so. Perch was immense. I don't see why scoring should automatically give you a high overall match rating.

Krul should only get a 5 (not his fault though, he can't be expected to have a good game if he's given nothing to do)

Classical class!

 

Surely if someone did have every bone in their body broken they would die? I'm no doctor like, but I'm guessing evening if it didn't kill you, death would be a better option?

 

Yep, Same as having to watch Sunderland on a regular basis I guess.

What was the Obrien song all about? Was it just the normal Liam, Andy etc etc? Just gathering my thoughts from yesterday, went to be at 8pm and slept through til 10am!

 

It was just the song but we did it constantly for ages, proper bouncing and banging on metal at the back. Stopped a few times, but just got going again after complaining at ref or whatever. Was proper knackering, it was so fast.

I didn't realise Taylor was winding up their fans although it is not a surprise.

The chants aimed at Steven Taylor by Sunderland fans – which depressingly increased in volume despite its sickening message – were really shocking.

 

After the events at Hillsborough, supporters behaviour was under scrutiny at the Stadium of Light but some people seem to relish in that.

 

Taylor didn't do himself many favours here. He may have been talking like a fan in the build-up, and it was possible to offer some restraint in covering the sometimes crude message that he doesn't like Sunderland very much. But he still did it. And he did say he wasn’t bothered what fans sang at him.

 

His warm-up was deliberately provocative and unnecessarily so.

 

The pre-match stretches and kickabouts should be used as vital preparation, not a means of territory marking and Taylor and Newcastle could have handled that better.

 

He didn't need to stand so close to the away fans, the mock orchestrating was silly in the extreme, and as for the laying down of his tracksuit top on the ground. Well, you'd imagine his manager has had words.

 

It probably wouldn't have stopped the vile chants, which returned when he replaced Fabricio Coloccini, but at least he could say he was completely innocent.

 

Pardew reflected that with his rock steady captain at the helm, Sunderland probably wouldn't have scored their equaliser. It came from sort of pot luck cross which had typified Sunderland all game, and which Coloccini had been attracted to like a moth to light. Taylor wasn’t blamed but he was his replacement.

 

So when Newcastle won a corner in injury-time, Taylor sprinted forward. He was bouncing round the penalty area as Yohan Cabaye placed the ball on the turf and you just knew he wanted to score. His adrenalin was already pumped in anticipation. You could see him imagining where the French magician would float his cross, seeking the space to bludgeon the ball past Simon Mignolet.

 

That's the Steven Taylor I like personally, the willing, over-eager and passionate if occasionally misguided footballer who wants his team, his Newcastle, to win. And even better if he plays his part in it.

 

I just dread to think what would have happened if he had scored.
