Bloke on the front row in the light blue shirt thinks he's in West Side Story FFS.

One thing that's always baffled me about the derbies, do Northumbria Police know there is a metro station right next to the ground? Shall we take them 100 yards, bang them on a metro and let them fuck off or march them through the middle of the city centre. Seems a strange option.

 

Pardew would definitely take route 1 to the metro, should ask his advice.

 

Metros from there don't go to sunderland though, not without an hour round trip first anyway.

Favorite has to be the tall dopey kid with the grey hoodie, grinning from ear to ear. Oblivious.

Eurgh, we actually lost to this shower. So frustrating. One of the strangest matches I've ever been to.

I fear for the future of being a football fan when brain-dead chav cunts like that are trying to drag us back to the 80's

The only thing Mike runs away from is justice and armored horses.

Embarrassed by the performance today, but even more embarrassed by the chavs/thugs after the game...

Honestly what the holy fuck is wrong with those people???

[dinotheprehistoricgeordie]

We just got humiliated by a club who were looking to comfortably be relegated

 

Alan Pardew can go fuck himself with his shit excuse of a game plan. Deserved nothing from that shower of shite.

Fair enough. It goes to central though doesn't it? Surely could arrange something.

 

Nah, goes through Monument then straight out to the coast.

I’ve always said it’s important whenever things don’t go your way to get perspective.

 

After the events of this afternoon though, that is proving more difficult than ever. In the interest of balance, I’m going to have a go.

 

The defeat to the mackems came quickly on the back of a hard-fought and valiant attempt to get to the Europa league semi-finals. This was a calculated gamble and the impact it may have had on some players, versus sunderland’s week of rest, would have surely been worth it if a trip to Amsterdam was still in the offing.

 

Secondly, Cisse’s now mandatory disallowed goal seems to have been wrongly flagged offside by the incompetent wazzick cheating from the safety of the linesman’s shirt. 1-1 at this point would surely have seen the game take a different direction.

 

Having said that, I would urge you to totally disregard the above.

 

United have lost a derby, at home, by a heavy margin. In the process of this we have been sucked back into the relegation shake up, failed to score against the mackems for the first time in premier league history and lost by more than one goal for the first time in 23 years.

 

This was all achieved by a failure to compete across the park, some abysmal defending and a shocking lack of recognition for the fact that the game was being played sunderland’s way and this needed to be prevented by getting the ball on the deck.

 

As I’ve said above, there’s nothing worse than knee-jerk reactions and I hope people can at least acknowledge that we all need to pull for the team to get the results needed to stay up from the remaining games. However, I recently heard something that concerns me for the future beyond that.

 

I have it from a first hand account, that a local journalist recently asked Alan Pardew about the record of failing to score from a corner for an unacceptable tally of PL matches. Pardew’s response of “Yeah, thanks for reminding me mate!” does not instil me with confidence that our manager has a desire to work on the shortcomings. In fact, this suggests an approach of “don’t mention that; it’s not working so we don’t talk about it. Where’s the easy questions? Come on, praise me for buying Sissoko!”

 

I would hope that Alan Pardew is given a chance to improve on this side and return to the successes of last season. I would hope more so though, that in his mind he acknowledges the recent failures, instead of resting on the laurels of 2011-12 and hiding behind the now expired excuse of Europa League exhaustion.

 

Losing horribly to sunderland at home is as black a mark as a manager gets round here, and this should act as an incentive for all involved in this aberration to commit to repaying some of this debt. Addressing the fact that we surrender possession and position from our own set plays should be high up that list from a coaching perspective.

 

From the point of view of ourselves, the fans, I would hope that humility can be exercised. The mackems are clearly reinvigorated under Di Canio and showed a desire that was sadly lacking from a stand-offish Newcastle side. The decent thing is to give them their due and embark on another undefeated decade against them.

 

There will, as always, be another time.

Finally summoned the guts to post here tonight.

 

I’m still not convinced today actually happened because even my worst nightmares didn’t go this far. As fans, the derby means a lot to us and we assume the players feel the same. Ours don’t, they made that clear today and I’ll find it VERY hard to forgive most of them.

 

One of the worst performances I’ve ever seen – it was a pathetic attempt at one - and I think only Debuchy & Ben Arfa escape this game with any credit. I never want to see Jonas Gutierrez play for us again, the first two goals were directly his fault, he’s embarrassing. Yes, our players were tired, but they didn’t give a monkeys today. It’s fine having these technical French players but we need Bartons and Nolans for days like this – people that have passion, desire and heart. I just feel really silly for calling these heroes on Thursday.

 

As for the match, 3-0 was harsh but we deserved to lose. Our attacks are so predictable, we’re easy to suss out. There’s no movement and it’s all so routine. We were repeatedly caught on the counter attack and made Paolo Di Canio look like a genius. I’d love to think this was the match that finally turned the masses against Pardew but I’ll not hold my breath. Howard Webb and his team were awful, absolutely awful. Not saying we deserved a draw, but if they gave that goal it’s a totally different game.

 

Where do we go from here? I have no idea where the 2 or 3 points we need will come from. Play anything like today and we’re gonners. Pardew must go in the summer, Jonas/Tiote/Shola need to be replaced with boreholes and the new manager needs to buy some battlers that don’t hide. Today was an eye-opener for sure, our players and manager let everyone down.

 

The behaviour from both sets of fans has been disgraceful too. Giving us all a bad name. I’m absolutely furious and crushed tonight.

 

tl;dr

That was from an NUFCTV press conference a few months ago. Proper ITK.

We had battlers, Barton and Nolan. 

 

 

Swappe dout for Pardews new dymanic style of play.

Brilliant.

[KDT]

Don't really understand how Ben Arfa comes out with credit for his performance, only good thing was that he didn't get injured.

[QBG]

A black day for the club, a completely spineless performance on the pitch and completely embarrassing scenes off it.

 

In terms of the actual game we never got going and were second to every ball. Our passing and link-up play was nothing short of abysmal and the complete lack of ideas in front of goal was completely startling. There can be no excuses made for such a gutless display, we may have been tired but the lack of motivation on show for one of the biggest and most important games of the season was utterly baffling. Pardew has to take 100% of the blame, the decision to play Gutierrrez at LB was a disaster and the decision to bring Cabaye off instead of Tiote was mystifying.

 

Despite the debacle we will probably just about stay up, but that is far from good enough with this crop of players. If you include Taylor there were 9 full internationals in the starting line-up for us today and yet they played like complete and utter strangers, that is not acceptable and Pardew's inability to guide such a squad to at least the top half - even in spite of the Europa League fixtures - should spell the end of his reign at the club.

 

Of course it won't do and that is what is most worrying about the current situation at the club, under Pardew we will continue to stagnate and although we clearly have the ability to lure decent talent from France/Holland, it is difficult to see these players staying at the club for longer than a few seasons at the most.

 

It's time for the hierarchy to define what the club's actual on the field ambition is, yes we're a profitable business but if all we're going to be is a feeder club for others then what exactly is the point? We haven't come close to winning anything since the FA Cup/Uefa Cup run under Souness, and that doesn't look like changing any time soon.

 

Still, perhaps more worrying than such a disappointing and disillusioning performance is the actions of the minority which have dragged the name of this club through the gutter on what was already an awful day. The scariest thing, as people have pointed out is the age of the lunatics that took part in those utterly disgraceful scenes, none of them are old enough to remember the old days, and although I didn't experience what went on in the 80s, I, like most of us, were brought up correctly and have always known how to behave at a game.

 

These cretins don't seem to possess the same moral compass, and believe it is somehow acceptable to bring shame to their city and the region because a team of 11 men - deservedly - lost a football match. Yet it is us, the ones who stayed throughout the entirety of that shower that will be tarred with the same brush as this lot and that is the great shame of the whole day.

 

The club now need to sit down and do two things, firstly ban these absolute c***s from attending a game at our magnificent stadium for as long as possible, and secondly seriously consider where they want this club to go, if they actually want to back up the largely excellent work they have done and establishing this club as a secure, financially viable institution with actual footballing success, then it is most certainly time that Pardew was shown the door. Sadly that won't happen anytime in the near future.

[Guest dover]

27 arrests according to sky hopefully that's the first team, pardew and the back room staff for a criminal display, robbing 50,000 fans of their football team. Swapping ameobi for gouffron was amazing as was cabaye off for Ben Arfa, replacing our captain at a goal down in the local derby was a master class is submission. Well done Alan for ending the season on a low fortunately villa have a bad run in otherwise we would be heading for the championship again. I expect 4th bottom.

[Dave]

Good post QBG.

[Ketsbaia]

On a side note, I'm spending Friday at the training ground near Pardew, the players and staff. I'll have to hold my resentment in, imagine that
