*** Weekend Football Spoilers 11/12th etc ***

Well by the sounds of things we didn't deserve to win it but it's still disapointing.
I said a couple of weeks ago that I doubted we would win this but I hoped the players didn't use it as an excuse not to perform.
From the comentary that I heard it seemed like we were doing well before the first goal and then we fell to pieces.

Hope we can do something a bit more inspiring against Liverpool.

rooney finished the game off before 12mins.. that was it really. after that our confidence and spirit had been wiped out.

they took control from then on and really put us in our place again.

no newcastle players played well, perhaps given did well.. he always does.

our defence was shcoking again, that needs cleaning out in the summer... big time. no cutting edge

shearer too old, ameobi.. low standard player.

midfield should have played better.
 
Oh dear :o

Let off lightly here today.

We had a good first 10 minutes or so and had a bit of a go in the second half but we werent really in it.

As ever with Newcastle the self distruct button is never far from hand and todays presser was young Ramage , shame for him really as hes done well for us of late , his confidence was shot after that.

Disapointed but not dishearted.

That Rooney lad looked ok , if he keeps that kind of performance up he may have a chance of making the England squad for the world cup.
 
I can't wait to see the stats for this match. United must have had around 75% (at least) possession. It'll also be interesting to see how many shots were on and off target. For me, the amount of chances we didn't get on target was the disappointing bit.

Great performance though. I've never seen a match so one sided in my life.

I can't see the Liverpool v Arsenal match being as good though. Unfortunately, Liverpool are bound to strangle Arsenal and take any fluid football from the match.
 
man utd shots will be touching 30

ours was about 5

says it all

im not too bothered, i didnt really expect any points today... i just hope we dont play that bad against liverpool...

see how glen pulls the team together, under souness this bad run would now last the rest of the season :p

see how glen gets the team to respond
 
Good game (for a Man Utd fan anyway), Newcastle improved as soon as Bowyer was brought on but the team didn't play well enough to score. Rooney was on fire today, fantastic goals and he deserved a hat trick. O'Shea I thought played well, getting back and clearing balls out of the box and his passing was a lot sharper and instant.:)

I want to thank Ferguson again for not starting RVN, Saha had an absolute stormer of a game, he should have scored 10. :rolleyes: RVN now looks a bit rusty, to be expected really, when you drop an 'in form' striker to the bench for no solid reason. I can possibly understand the reason why Ferguson played Saha in the Carling Cup final because he had played a bigger role in their success than Van Nistelrooy (if that was indeed the main reason), fair enough. But who has contributed more to our Premiership campaign this season and is the Premiership's top goalscorer? Surely by Fergusons own reasoning, RVN should be starting every Premiership game.

I'll say it again fellas, I think RVN is on his way out. And it's no coincidence that he's the only player in the first team to whole heartedly agree publicly with everything Keane said after Keane was shown the door. Ferguson's relationship with him has been going downhill since he flogged Beckham off to Madrid, yet another example of what happens when Ferguson falls out with one of his players. RVN shortly after Beckhams departure said that we missed him and was promptly dropped by Ferguson the following game.

Dropping one of our most important players (and most prolific goalscorer ever in our history) is the first sign of an imminent departure. It happened to Cole, Beckham, Yorke. And bringing him on to replace Ronaldo was madness, taking a midfielder out of the game to accomodate a threesome up front. Saha should have been taken off instead. As soon as RVN came on, Newcastle's possession went up a little because of our 3 man midfield. I'm sick to death of Ferguson, I really am. He got rid of Beckham because he thought he was bigger than the club, but there's only been one man all along who thinks he is bigger than the club and that's Ferguson.

Rumours of bust ups, shouting matches and arguments in training all point to a very strained relationship between Ferguson and RVN. Being relegated to the bench won't help a lot either. There's only one outcome in situations like this. And it involves the fans saying goodbye to yet another player who gave Utd his all.

******* Ferguson :rolleyes:

For the first 25 mins we probably played the worst we have all season , amazing we are only 1 down , just about getting into the game now

what on earth were the Arsenal fans booing Warnock for after the incident with Toure , was Toure's fault and he really should have had at least a yellow card

Never a yellow, got the ball, 50-50 tackle.

Glad to see us playing with some confidence again, half time came around just at the right time.

flew in both feet off the ground with studs showing

need to see it again but don't think he got the ball either
 
Kolo. :(

Hope he's alright, hobbled off just before half-time after a quality tackle netted him a kick in the leg. Otherwise though, I can't complain. We've been the better side mostly (although 'Pool have had more possession in the last 5 or 10 mins), and everyone is playing really well. Henry is getting back and scored a damn good goal, Hleb is passing forwards (!), 8th Choice Left-Back™ looks like he's never played anywhere but LB all his life, and Fabregas had been, well, Fabregas. :)

Couple of chances we should have done better with though, Ade hoofed a sitter over the bar, and Eboueoueoueoue should have done better in a 1-on-1 with Reina. Hopefully we'll get another soon, as 1-0 is never a comfortable scoreline.

I can see what all the Liverpool fans have been complaining about this season now, and it must be painful at times following them. They get possession a fair bit but just do absolutely nothing with it (bit like us at times then ;)). Lots of passing, but not a single decent shot from within the area. Gerrard and Alonso have looked far more likely to score than Crouch or Luis "I'm a bit rubbish, me" Garcia.
 
Liverpool have been awful (passing, finishish, 1st touch) yet they should be level with the crouch sitter, for that miss he should be deducted a weeks wage, his expertise is HEADING.

Arsenal to win, arsenal seem to be playing like they always do, great attacking yet always wanting to score and 25 yard volley into the top corner or pass it into the goal.
