Stoke are absolute cunts regardless of our shit performance.
BR.
Go on Stoke! Hughesy always did have a good record with us against United. Although can't really compare that United and this one.

Altidore shouldn't be playing in the Premier League. Absolute joke of a striker.

Always loved Stoke.

Started properly agitating at about 10 minutes because Santon had a shite shot. Sunderland fans got right behind their team. Applauding effort and good ideas and encouraging the team. Newcastle fans were right on the backs. And complaining whenever anything is less than perfect. Absolute prats who are holding the side back.
Sam
We didn't have any luck but at the same time we deserved nothing from the game. I can't see us getting 4th anymore, cannot wait for this season to over and get rid of the deadwood in our team and bring in new faces.
One final thing: Cleverley is awful.

Moyes: "I thought we had bad luck today. It was our own fault that we didn't take our chances. But it was a good performance."
VP.
Number 1
I saw a stat saying that at one point in the second half we had played 194 long passes and none of them had come off. When you're not even good at playing le hoofball, that is a huge tactical problem and hardly one to get the fans motivated, not least when allied to a pathetic display. The Sunderland fans had plenty of effort and good ideas to applaud. We on the other hand had nothing resembling either of those two qualities to cheer until 2-0, and by that point, it never looked enough to rectify the situation.
Negative atmosphere is never going to help but if we're going to be shit and hand teams easy victories, then what is the fucking point.

The fans create the negative atmosphere, which gives teams easy points. It completely drains the players of confidence, while the crowds impatience channels through to the players. If a player misses a chance, they won't want to shoot again. Crowd insist Newcastle need to play everything as direct as possible. Keeping possession and trying to control the game shows a lack of passion. And the crowd got on the players backs at 0-0 after about 10 minutes.

Stoke are fucking vile.
We are shit.
Moyes is out of his depth.
The end.
Number 1
But it doesn't really matter about incorrectly captioned Tweets or fans behaving like twats. We played like shit and got what we deserved, and that's the end of the discussion.
Incidentally, talking of Santon, why is he taking set-pieces?

That is, just, distressing.

Think yourself lucky.
We had RVP, Mata and Rooney on the pitch today. Easily 3 of the best corner takers in the club, if not the league. So who took them? Ashley Young of course.
Number 1
That's just stupid. How on earth does that work?
And I thought we were in a tailspin. Fucking hell.

We won't get top four this season, but I'm very optimistic for next season. Moyes needs to get rid of the shit, bring in new faces with proper support in the summer window this time.
The major problem at the moment however is his inept tactics, I wish he'd just ditch 4-4-2. The way we're playing is poor, unimaginative.
Slashman X
They fucking showed him doing a short corner as an example of his impact.
I'm not saying he's been shit, far from it I'm sure he's been very influential, but why focus so much on it? For example, Jones had a brilliant first half, throwing himself into every tackle, why couldn't they show that?
K3V0
Modern football has advanced far beyond just playing with two wingers and pumping balls into the box. Moyes has to scrap this idea that we have to play a certain way because we've played a certain way in the past. We need a big overhaul in the summer and we need to change our approach and the formation. Play Mata in behind RVP and Rooney and sign the midfielders that can allow that to be done. We're to predictable and with any decent defensive performance we struggle.
Sam
Because he's our new signing, he's bound to be the main focus of attention, with the fans and the media.
I didn't see the short corner analysis, that is pretty pathetic them calling that 'impact'.
I guess it's always the case with a big new signing for anybody, they'll be the focus. Especially with us this season when we're struggling post Fergie, the attention is on Moyes and the changes he makes.
And for the fans, we're relying on him for hope in this dire season.

We're appalling without Cabaye. No creativity at all.
Midtable obscurity and no cup runs seems to be the order of the day for the near future until Ashley leaves.

Stoke beat Manchester United for the first time in 30 years. Cue Mata compilation.
