It gives me no pleasure to highlight what I said in my post when I saw the starting line up. At the end of the day we all want to win. Experimenting with a load of people playing out of their normal positions is ok if you dont care about the result. Of course the players compounded that by giving that impression too. After other London teams Newcastle is the team that most of us hate losing to. For those who want experimentation for the rest of the season that's fine but shut the f up when it doesn't work. Just be thankful that 39 points is probably more than Bolton will get.

No no, I agree--I've put in around twenty years myself and I can feel positive despite getting stuffed at the Lane. I remember the 80's

I've not seen any of the game or heard any reports but I'm going to take the tottenham hotspurs approach to it and not bother about it.
roll on next year.

Absolutely mate, I've posted very few comments as I saw today as useful exercise in principle. But I think we can all agree that there's a level of expectation you have of your players playing in ANY formation, though. I'd have taken a loss if it gave Ramos some much needed research, but to lose 4-1 to anyone is pretty unforgiveable, let alone a team as mediocre as Newcastle. It isn't as black and white as "You said you wanted to experiment, so you can't moan if we lost" I'm afraid. Although I've still tried my best not to :wink:

Have to say the Newcastle fans yesterday were excellent.

probably because they are more deluded than spurs fans.
I wouldn't be surprised if they now think they'll win the prem next season. :roll:

Not being funny or nothing, but that was disgraceful - from professional players to experienced coaches and a tactical manager - ALL of them got it wrong today.
I watched every painful minute of it. The first half was not so bad - and it could have been worse. The silly thing is, we probably would have won it if they hadn't equalised when they did - those goals are always fatal. But I've not seen a home half so bad in, say, the last 3 or 4 years.
We've got a pschological thing about Newcastle - and if I'm honest, I would rather we experimented against Boro and Bolton rather than a team who've now taken 6 points off us 2 seasons in a row. :-|
He got it wrong yesterday, Ramos. And that's a shame, because I think he's pretty much got it right in every game thus far - including subs.

Yeah I was there mate, with TSH and jimbo. We stayed until the final whistle too - forcing ourselves to watch it knowing that it was the lowest we could be.
Very sadistic yet cathartic in many ways.

I've never seen the Lane empty so quickly in my life.
Even the 4-0 against United was that bad. Shocking. I saw two blokes leave as their 3rd went in. I mean what's the fupping point of that? It's a Sunday, I left pretty much straight after the game and got back into Ilford in 40 minutes, so it's not traffic reasons. Booo to people.

I was watching it at my local and Super Sports 1 lost transmission for 10 minutes at 3-1 down. Was the best part of the match. Unfortunately it came back on and we conceeded another

I stayed until the final whistle too. I took my gf to her first Spurs match yesterday, typical I had to choose that match to try and get her into Spurs...
But as for traffic problems, the tube was a nightmare yesterday! Victoria Line was shut from Islington to Brixton, although they had a small service from Seven Sisters to Finsbury Park, and then you had to get the Picadilly line or whatever from Finsbury Park. The tube is always pretty packed after matches but yesterday it was especially bad.

Really really really really winding me up seeing all of Keegan's comments. Look at his frickin face, tosser looks like he's won the lottery. That's the worst thing that's come out of all of this, it's given the Geordies belief. Grrr
