Jesus, didn't realize it was that bad! I'm just still swooning over Cabs' free kicks.

To call tonight a 'must-win-game' is kinda stating the bleedin obvious, however i think from a table point of view it wouldnt be the end of the world to loose tonight(plenty games left) but from a confidence point of view...it will undo all the good work/mood from the last weeks transfers and a mentality of 'even with the new guys we couldnt beat the likes of villa' will set in which will hurt the team/fans/atmosphore at games severly

Not sure if what im trying to say makes sence

Can't say I agree. 3 points tonight is vital as I really don't see us picking up any against Chelsea or Spurs.

It would leave us needing another 20 points from 14 games and Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool still to play.

We need a result tonight.

Dissapointed mbiwa isnt in there

Moneymaker

Good lad Papiss.

Sissoko looking class.

Duff

Great ball from Sissoko!

Moneymaker

Jaysus. Some strike from Insomia. Unlucky.

bazual

curious why Marv is not on the bench, is he injured?

Duff

Moneymaker

Nursing a semi here.

Injured

GT_TDI_150

Keep banging em in!!

Confindence boooooooster!

Moneymaker

Just don't let them back in the game before halftime and give a silly goal away.

bazual

Is Perch actually playing? I really have not seen him much. Anita would do much more there.

bazual

That was a welcome to England 50/50 there for Sissoko

Moneymaker

I think he's doing well. Getting some tackles in and giving it simple, which is his job in that role.

Debuchy been excellent this first half.

BetterCallSaul

To think Marv, Anita, Ben Arfa, Tiote and Mbiwa are not on the pitch.

We finally have a decent looking squad lads!

Hold your horses, we are playing Villa who are also putrid recently and its HT!

Early goal and the nerves kick in again!

TaosHum

Wow, I had forgotten Newcastle could play that well!!!

Although there has been some excellent individual performances, the overall team play, I've been hugely impressed with the patience and control in possession. Long balls have been cut dramatically and we looked very composed.

Hopefully now, the team can push on and finish a reeling Villa off. Can't afford to get defensive and let them back in like we did against Reading.

Maybe just haven't been noticing him. The whole back 4 have been solid really. Impressed with Taylor and always thought the Taylor Colo partnership was a good one. Will be interesting to see if Mbiwa gets a game while those 2 are fit.

Gouffran has put in a good team shift, covering that left wing he has tracked back and put some good balls in and looks a handy player. Sissoko even with all the praise from the commentary team has been good at getting stuck in everywhere. Both look like bargains.

I thought we were better against Reading in the first half just had no quality like the Sissoko ball and a half fit Cabaye playing.

Stupid alright but contact was more or less non existent.

bazual

Jonas is a good character, wont get a second yellow, he is too clever.

BetterCallSaul

This is frantic. Need to calm it down.

bazual

3 villa players offside there

Moneymaker

Jaysus we've gone to pieces, what on earth did Pardew say to them at half time?

at least there is better options on the bench this week. Cabaye looking leggy.

bazual

I know he stood on his foot but Debuchy doesn't half make a meal of it.

M5

strange sub... more height?

BetterCallSaul

Seriously can't watch this any more, me nerves are gone.

bazual

Gotta be an injury, strange decision. Surprised its not Anita.

bazual

Here comes the long ball.

JOnas having a mare.....

Id predicted a finish like this.....we just cant close a game out worst possible start to the second half.
