Yea, we looked so bad most of the game, QPR were terrible though, we had a few good spells. We need cabaye back, hes so big for us. Ray wilkins was so fkin tilting in the 1st half.
I must have been watching a different match.
QPR clearly the better team for most of the 90 minutes.
If Jay Bothroyd hadn't been so crap, we would have won comfortably.
:D:D:D
Clearly watching a different game, or perhaps the fact away fans are located 2 miles north of the pitch is the reason why.
Your midfield is the worst in the premiership, absolutely terrible, although Barton/Taarabt may be better.
Wright Phillips playing on the left was baffling, hes one of the most one footed players who have played in the premiership, his ability is to get to the byline and get balls in the box not cut in and deliver.
Mackie on the right was anon and looked like he belonged in the championship.
Derry is never a premiership footballer either.
Defence is really bad, I think on todays game only Luke Young would get in our team and even then hes probs on a par with Simpson.
Kenny looked super suspect and although you had alot of efforts on goals they were mainly long, speculative shots that went down Krul's throat.
Gabbidon and Ferdinand are both championship defenders and if we had Ba/Cabaye stayed fit it could have been a cricket score.
I was actually really disappointed with Helguson who I thought was quite a good player.
Once you brought on your major goal threat Tommy Smith it was basically game over.
[ ] nice strip too
How did you find the stadium? First visit there?
Was in the Plantinum Club, been in the away bit before, couldn't see fuck all, so decided to mingle with the Geordies.
Love St James's Park, great theatre for football.
Newcastle fans are usually the best. I remember beating you 5 or 6-0 at Loftus Road probably before you were born.
After each goal, the Geordies sang louder. Totally outsung the supporters of a team who were winning 6-0! Incred
However, today I was slightly surprised how muted they were. You are having a season wayyyyyyyyyyyy above expectations and should be having a ball. But no, quick to criticise and moan, totally unGeordie like.
Total rubbish about Ferdinand you wrote. He played really well today, best defender on the pitch. Young was good too. And Kenny has been our player of the season so far. I don't think he had a shot to save. so why you thought he was dodgy I don't know. No chance with the goal. Hopefully this will be the last we see of Gabbidon and Hill in the hoops.
I thought Buzsaky had a pretty good game, but I might be biased because I really like him. Derry is indeed a Championship footballer and he won't be on the pitch much now. Warnock loved him and my guess is Derry will move on loan to wherever Mr Wanker pitches up next (maybe Millwall?). SWP has been a massive disappointment. He was great when he first signed, but has been increasingly poor as the losing run as continued. He was actually a little bit better today. Mackie is not a Prem player for sure. But he is a trier, no cause is lost for him. Perfect team player.
Bothroyd was hopeless. He missed two giltedged chances which a Premiership goalscorer should have obbled up. The second one was exactly the same as the one Best scored. Bothroyd never looked like hitting the net. Helguson looked off the pace today, but has held up the line well in recent weeks.
We need a centre back partner for Anton (I'd prefer Alex to Samba, but either will do), a left back maybe - I like Traore going forward but he's woeful at defending, a creative midfielder to take the place of Faurlin, a left sided midfielder (Pienaar please) and a goalscorer (Johnson will do, but prefer someone better- Hooper would be perfect).
I thought Newcastle were poor on the whole.
The one shining exception was Ben Arfur who was tremendous, making QPR player shit themselves every time he had the ball.
Santone was pretty good too.
The front two were appauling apart from Bests finsih, which was the only bit of quality either of them provided all afternoon. Jonas was Jonas. Did alot of work, but end product was tez. Guthrie was terrible. It felt like more than half his passes found QPR players.
Bottom line is, if QPR had a goalscorer, instead of a tart, in the number 10 shirt, you would have lost 3 or 4-1.
