it's not like this on shotsweb:)

true, both posters get on famously.

What a crap post .... people who went to the game SAW for themselves a pretty piss poor performance from the team, and to be honest i dont care if it was at home or away the fact remains that ANY fan would expect the team to put up some sort of effort. How people who didnt go can comment on a few mins of tv coverage on motd i dont know.

but I'd say it makes you slightly less likely to have a balanced viewpoint.

LMAO so your going to have a balanced viewpoint having NOT watched the game .... yeah right

I went to the game not really expecting us to get anything from it , perhaps a point at most ... but what i do EXPECT is for the team to give it a damn good go. The fact that Shorey even stated he was embarrased by the teams display surely proves that even they can see it was pitifull

[Forbury Lion]

What a load of f**king bollocks. I'd like the following:

1) Graham Poll to apologise for agreeing with Pardew that he will allow him to subsitute a Charlton player before he sends him off.

2) Stephen Bennett to apologise for his officious behavoiur towards us as well as other teams.

3) Paddy Kenny for cheating us when he pulled down Antony Rougier whilst he was a bury player.

4) The Liverpool ref for not awarding us a pen for the Gerrard handball.

5) A woman to give me a blow job.

1) Graham Poll will say theres nothing to apologise for.
2) Paddy Kenny will say theres nothing to apologise for.
3) Graham Poll will say theres nothing to apologise for.
4) A woman will say nothing cos she's got her mouth full.

Can't speak for the others but I watched all 90+ minutes of Sky Coverage live on a pretty decent web stream.

Exactly. If anything, those of us who watched the WHOLE game live on a screen had MUCH better views.

LMAO.

[Cookie]

Least you can say I was there when we were shit

[M Brook]

I can already here Coppell coming out and saying we don't need a centre mid, we've got Fae, we don't need a centre half we have Cisse, we don't need a winger cause Little's back and we don't need a striker cause Kebe can play there.

Thank gawd I didn't go to the same school as you! I'd be earning half what I am now. If I was lucky enough to still have a job, that is.

Come on guys, make the effort. The English language should not be that much of an problem to those of us born and educated here.

Same here.

Please do not respond on this particular post unless you were there. It's an an insult to the rest of us who did and who are fully entitled to make these critical comments. If you travelled 640 miles and feel that we have no right to be on the same pitch as a "famous" team, then fair enough. However, if you didn't then post on another topic please.

Agreed. Although I am breaking the rules as I didn't travel to the game (excuse was I was at work - however I wouldn't have went anyway). I've been to loads of away games, although the thought of travelling up to Newcastle/Boro/Sunderland for a 90 minute match still fills me with fear. It's a hell of a long way.

Alot of you have taken my original post out of context. Of course i dont expect an apology for every poor performance or bad decision, the reason i posted was because coppell said on the official site on friday that he wanted to thank every fan going to newcastle and how the players appreciated it and it was just ironic that they showed that appreciation by turning in one of their worse performances this season.
My point was i dont want thanking for travelling round the country to watch my team but it would be nice to see better performances/results than we have achieved this season on the road,its not as if we have won our fair share away from home is it? Is it asking too much to want them to have won more than one away game by April? The fact that it was the longest journey of the season didnt help and you should also bear in mind the time i posted it,i had'nt been home long and maybe i should of left it till i'd slept on it before i commented.

I presume the performance must've been deliberately rubbish !!

[Franchise FC]

I don't go to anywhere near as many away games as I used to, but that's an issue of other priorities.

However, I do remember suffering humiliating defeats in places like Chesterfield, Rochdale et al, and the reason I put up with those and kept going was the fact that we knew that eventually we would get the reward of some unbelievable results.

We do not support a Big 4 team (of course, they have a divine right to win every game), so should be expecting more defeats than wins at this level. The Geordies I spent the afternoon with were honest enough to say that if we'd played them three weeks ago, our performancxe would have been easily good enough to win !! Imagine the indignation of supporters who have 'divine right syndrome'

[Scarface]

This sort of pathetic away performance has happened too many times now this season. The team is not good enough away from home and unless major changes are made, we're in for much the same next season (assuming we stay up). Unless Coppell has learnt his lessons, then it's time for a change and bring in a manager with fresh ideas and not the same loyalty to the current crop of players who simply aren't doing it this year.

[readingbedding]

Repeat after me...

New Manager...New players...this means better football...
New Manager...New players...this means better football...
New Manager...New players...this means better football...
New Manager...New players...this means better football...
New Manager...New players...this means better football...

Thinking about it, the 4-0 defeat at Middlesbrough way back in 1997/8 season was probably worst than this. I actually went to that game, via Manchester. 4 hours to Manchester from Reading, stayed overnight with a few beers, then Saturday, 4 hours to Middlesbrough. Got whalloped, unfortunate cos we were doing ok, only 1-0 down and could have had a chance to level it up when they hit us with further 3 goals. 4 hours back to Manchester for some beers. Sunday, 4 hours back to Reading. Total traveling time 16 hours, just to see Reading lose 4-0.

Great contribution to the discussion.

Tends to work that way, yes, but this is going off topic.

[Focher]

seeing as Newcastle's nightlife was so good, im not going to demand an apology, the game was a mere excuse to go out and get on it.

Having said that if we don't beat Fulham by at least 8 goals i will demand a complete refund on my season ticket, as to be quite frank being 6 points clear of relegation in what is always the hardest season for a premier league 'newbie' is a total f'ing disgrace.
