Nice one pal . Reassuring to know. Notwithstanding the point we were arguing about having been long forgotten. Nighty night

Ye? You absolutely sure pal?

But were we though?

We only have slow defenders. Vest makes Bedders snd Stephens look like Carl Lewis and Linford Christie and he’s our best defender........LOL(?)

Yeah agree absolutely ref the third goal. It’s looked inevitable all season we are going to get caught out by the playing around at the back bit. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it, generally it’s good - shows we are in charge, confident - but FMOB it’s not always the right approach ffs. His foot goes through that ball and we do not concede. Simple. Even after that Bertrand’s foot goes through it and we don’t concede. So that’s a point thrown down the drain regardless of our hopeless inability to break teams down.

There were large amounts of standing water on the pitch when we conceded our goals (particularly the third). Why was that so difficult for us to cope with Matthew, and with 11 men on the pitch?

Ings shot unlucky (and MASSIVELY annoying) agreed but we were fucking useless apart from that and that isn't fucking good enough against 10 and then 9 men.

It was all so slow and ponderous, just sideways passes in front of a defence given time to organise and relax. Ridiculous against 10 and then 9 men. Newcastle are shit anyway, we gifted them this game, got given it back but were the utterly clueless about how to accept the present.

Hugely embarrassing few days. We go down to 10 men we expect and receive a battering. We go down to 9 men we expect and receive a massive battering. The situations are reversed and all we expect and get is a masterclass in how not to break teams down. Absolutely fuming with this team and Ralph right now, that was fucking awful.

Ok, I’ll rephrase the question - why don’t we move the ball quicker snd get it wide in order to break teams that sit back down?

They look relatively comfortable. Why are we do clueless when teams sit back?

He is fucking incredible. Now we HAVE to ram the man advantage home. Others do it to us now Ralph has got to show we can give it back.

Now THAT was fucking pathetic. No excuses, utter utter shit.

GTFI! This could be some game here, loads of chances so far.

Jesus H feckin Christ.

Fucksakes😖

Armstrong should Stretch more.

Wrong thread

Happy to stand corrected if that's right. It looked properly shit on first viewing and like I say I don't blame him anyway, we as a club should not be in a position that we need to field untried rookies against Man Utd.

The French kid's attempt for the final goal was pathetic. Not blaming him particularly, he shouldn't be near the pitch, but it was.

I do agree re the park the bus thing. No way does that happen twice or even once under - for example - Allardyce or Wilder but we were properly fucked over by the officials today (again) and obviously the early and correctly (though all too gleefully given) red for Jankewitz. Beyond that, starting with 2 complete rookies on the pitch and having another 5 plus 2 goalkeepers (1 rookie) - let that sink in for a minute, we started with TWO GOALKEEPERS ON THE BENCH - ain't gonna help whatsoever. All in all really fucking embarrassing however you try to spin it.

To the tune of?

It's more annoying that that pompous cunt Dean wilfully refuses to see it and almost gleefully awards the penalty and whacks out the red with a theatrical flourish. That CUNT has seriously got an issue with us.

That is fucking unbelievable. I cannot stand that cunt Dean's pompous mug.
