Newcastle fan in peace (or pieces)

[jkkne]

Hi guys.

I come in peace. Just wanted to talk about todays' game. Met a lot of cracking Reading fans today including a few who had an 'interesting' journey up, most of you seemed to be staying and having a few pints tonight (don't wear a coat!)

I thought in the first half we played really well and had the luck of the green when it came to refereeing decisions. If we'd have had a striker upfront in form, instead of Cisse and that lumbering donkey Shola Ameobi then it probably would have been game over at half time.

But credit, you came out and took control of the second half and by bringing two strikers on you never looked like playing for a draw, unlike us, who sat back and fcuked it all up in embarassing fashion. You didn't lump the ball forward and played good football

I thought Kebe was excellent and although your team isn't filled with quality it's a good unit that works together and doesn't seem to give up and plays for the manager. Your fans were great, you showed more fight in the last 45 than we have for pretty much all of this season.

Good luck for whatever happens the rest of the season, friendliest fans we've had this season and a good turnout considering the weather and the journey in th? away end.

and one last thing....

Do you want Pards back>

[Norfolk Royal]

Ha, thanks for the kind words. Enjoy the next eight years of Pardew!

[The Royal]

Thanks for the decent post. Nice change from some of the Premiership grunts.

Cheers.

Yeh, send him back in pieces!

[Royalclapper]

Yes it's quite baffling how Cisse can't seem to find the net this time. Cabaye is a class act mind you, wish we could afford him!
Not sure if it's all Pardew's fault though, think you needed to strengthen a little more in the summer to repeat last season's achievements. Looks like you're in for the relegation battle now mind unless a top striker is signed.

[Mr.T10]

Good overview of the game.

Ref was shit, as expected.

We actually starting to pass the ball instead of relying on hope football, which is showing in our results. Just need to keep going and just effect our own game.

Have fun with Pardew!

[PieEater]

Sorry, I'm still seething about the Ba handball that gifted you a point and robbed us of 2.

oxf*rd off Geordie git.

[Ian Royal]

Cheers. I thought you played some pretty nice stuff first half and were cutting through our midfield well. Agree you lack a quality, in form, finisher upfront right now. Marveaux and Cabaye coming off killed you, although at 1-0 we were always in the game anyway.

We're playing better quality and smarter football, but we still have some way to go yet. The only way I want to see Newcastle go down is if it's the only way we can stay up, so good luck.

I'd take Pardew back, but not over McDermott.

[SPARTA]

Quite like Newcastle as a club. You can keep Pardew though. Hopefully we'll both be OK this season. I'd love to see QPR, Wigan and Saints go down.

[If you still hate Futcher]

Fair play to jkkne, could've come on and moaned how lucky we were and how they should've been out of sight in the first half but instead gave a very fair assessment of the game.

I wish you well, as long as it doesn't mean we end up 18th and you 17th.

[brighton_royal]

Good first post. Cheers.

Good to hear the Scorpians didn't make it up today.

We only hate Pardew because he was good and left us for fukking West Ham.

ummm...*cough*Le Fondre's first?*cough*

[Platypuss]

Off the chest.

[Albert Spangler]

Off the chest.

Nah

[Royal Ginger]

Off the chest.

...then onto the hand and into the goal.

[SCIAG]

Ba's was deliberate, Le Fondre's wasn't. His goal a few weeks ago was though, and was rightfully disallowed. He's no better than Ba.

I quite like Newcastle, but not as much as I like Wigan or Villa (or Reading), so, with regret, I hope they go down and bounce straight back.

grazed his arm. Never handball in a million years. It takes repeat slow-mo replays to see if it even vaguely touches his arm. There's no way on earth an official is ever giving that. Ba's was clear, completely changing the flight of the ball, although I disagree with SCIAG that it was definitely deliberate. But he certainly gained an advantage from it, and we were disadvantaged. We all know refs pay little attention to deliberate these days. THe thing is, Ba's was easily spottable by an official and could easily have been given.

Not that it matters a damn. It happened. We move on.
