Suarez really does go down for anything, doesn't he?

Barely touched him. Suarez looked to be on his way down already. That was nothing for me. May as well switch this one off now though as it's sure to be a complete trouncing from this point forward.

How long will we manage to play at this high level of intensity?

Pick that out! Fuck me, what a hit.

Doesn't sound far off. I think we'll roll over for them as usual. Renewed calls for Pardew's head followed by a narrow win against the Mackems which will alleviate the pressure again and continue the cycle.

Yeah, on reflection old Monkey's Heed's got Bellers beat for the ringer of an orangutan.

The front pages of notably racist, anti-immigrant and right-pandering rags such as the Mail, no doubt. How quickly they can clamber back up onto their high horses. I've never seen a human being who looked more like a monkey than Craig Bellamy, by the way. His simian face and too-long arms make him look like a chimp.

He had no physical presence. A coat hanger could've bullied Pompey's strikers more effectively that day. At least when it fell over it might've got in their way. It was a dogshit performance from the entire side, mind, and most of all from the fat, useless wally in the stands. The funny thing is the worst manager we've had in the entire period of Fat Mike's ownership (bar Kinnear) was the one given the most backing. What Keegan could've done with the money that Allardyce blew on Smith, Rozenhal, Geremi....

Any kid with a laptop is better than Kinnear. This Tan clown is really taking the piss. Even worse than our situation imo.

I see only one post that even brings up the question of being Scottish, which is Noelie's. Then a discussion of Scottish nationalism/separatism followed, some of which may have offended you, but guess what - that's the internet. The "bile and abuse" are for your arrogance in stating that you have a "rightful place" in the SPL. You have nothing. Your former club has ceased to exist. Why that happened is a convoluted and disgraceful affair but it boils down to epic mismanagement of your club, which we as Newcastle fans can surely relate to. That said, you claim to have "won" the case which is inaccurate, you claim "unfair victimisation" (do us a favour), and you claim a status that you are simply no longer entitled to. Take your victim complex someplace else. I know I have sympathy for the fans of a mismanaged club, but not for fans who cannot face reality - through no fault of your fanbase, Rangers violated many laws and have been brought to account for that. Time to man up and deal with it.

Here we go again. The patented NUFC collapse is on.

Papiss who more like. Cisse looks like a complete donkey comparatively.

Or not.

Doubt it. We've scored so we'll think the game's won at halftime and come out unprepared for a Cardiff onslaught in the second half.

I agree. We can't give the impression, whether to opponents or to our own players, that we're a one-man team. If our only plan is get it to HBA and see what he can do, we're in deep trouble. We also don't want to send the message that you can play poorly in a previous match (and v. Hull as well) and always keep your place. Of course I think Ben Arfa is our best and most creative player and I'd love him to play every minute of every game, but we've a squad of players, not a star and 10 supporting characters. I hope he takes being dropped as a challenge rather than as an insult and rises to it.

How do I put this... Go and boil your heads, you scummy sectarian sacks of shite.

Would've left Anita on but otherwise Pardew's changes were good. We obviously have the players - they just seem to come out so rarely. Most of the time they look like anonymous ghosts who have never played together instead of full internationals. Too bad it takes being 3-0 down with one of the worst performances in recent years to get the team playing any sort of football.

This should be the last game Santon plays for us at LB. I don't mind his attacking game but defensively he is an abomination. You can see the clear contrast between him and Debuchy - Debuchy is a defender struggling for form whose innate quality has showed today. Santon is not a defender.

Cisse should come on soon, our strikers are looking isolated.

Pick that out!

Santon completely at sea for that chance. Nowhere near his man.

Time for another half of our players going through the motions.

Was that meant to be an assist by Krul?

Just underlines how far up the table we could've been with a win over Hull. Jol will probably go. I don't understand how he's been so short-sighted, since I know he's a good manager. Signing a bunch of pensioners is generally a cover plan to allow youth players to get strong enough to take their places, but that obviously hasn't happened at Fulham and he's about to pay the price, I think.

Well that's us out then, job done for Pardew and co.
