Fair enough. I don't usually mind it but on that day, it was a harsh red to begin with and he put them 2-0 up and made a point of going to the away fans.

I went to quite a few Saints games at St James including a 4-0 defeat for Saints in which Jason Dodd got sent off and when Shearer scored the penalty, his second goal of the game he came and rubbed it in celebrating like crazy and waving to us up at the back of the stand. I still don't like him very much even though he does say some nice things about us. Was totally classless of him to do that.

That's a shame. I lived so close to St James that I could hear the roar a minute or so before teletext flashed up a goal. Sometimes you could even hear the crowd reacting to a contentious decision and I'd have a chuckle to myself thinking of 50,000 red-faced, overweight, barcode-wearing Geordies all getting their knickers in a twist.

Never mind about that. More importantly, does Rupali Curry House still exist in the Bigg Market? I lived in Newcastle for 3 years in the late 90s and we'd get some great curry there!

*cries in Canadian*

No I didn't miss the West Ham game. It was Stephens and Valery in that. Stephens and Bednarek today were a shambles. No knee jerk. I said bad day at the office. No wet knickers, I know who we are as a team, I know what we have. We need to be much better in the next one otherwise an on form Newcastle will take the points.

We need to time it to perfection so that Newcastle and their fans are halfway to Southampton by the time it gets called off...

CB as well. Salisu out and we're a shambles. Our replacements, Bednarek, Stephens, Lyanco, Valery all way too inconsistent.

So his take is a mix of "bad day at the office" and "thought we'd stroll to a win" complacency.

Virtue signaling at its finest. Society rushing to get yellow and blue on their social media to that they can once again relax safe in the knowledge that they are with Ukraine and don't have to do anything else. Here, we have multi-billion dollar corporations donning the yellow and blue to say, "please think that we care, give us more money" meanwhile not donating a single cent to humanitarian aid.

Oh well. I've already forgotten it, on to the next one.

Good old Saints. Just when you start to get used to winning they slap you straight back to reality.

Should be red for Watkins. Horrible challenge on FF.

After beating West Ham with (initially) the reserve team, the squad got cocky thinking they'd have it easy today. RH took all the plaudits for Wednesday but he's got to keep this squad's feet on the ground. They took their eye off the ball here, overcelebrating the cup win.

Everyone. Mainly Bednarek and Stephens. Whole team have been 4 or 5/10 today. Not at the races at all. Coutinho running riot and it really should be 6-0.

If we can get a goal or two and/or shut up shop from here then it's just a wakeup call and we work on it for Newcastle. 6-0 and we'll go into a tailspin.

I wonder if the whole "RH read prematch comments" and his response created a bit of cockiness in the squad. Team our size has no room to get complacent. They expected a stroll today and are gettig a spanking as a result.

We need to shut this down ASAP. 6 or 7 and our morale will be in the gutter for weeks. Shake it off.

Bad day all round. We're horribly off the pace and disjointed. Draw a line under it etc. Edid: cunt ings 4-0

Coutihno only shows up for games vs us. Cunt!

We were always going to have a poor game at some point. Try to salvage this 2nd half but if not, regroup, get it back on track in the next one. We don't want to let this great season end on a bad run.

Big RH teamtalk and reshuffle coming up.

Fuck, should be 4 or 5-0. Typical Coutinho decides to try in this game.

That's OK RH. I didn't want to be Saints manager anyway...

AA drew the defenders away from Broja...
