Shocked at the manner of Barca's defeat. Had a feeling Bayern would do them but not in this manner. They looked a disjointed side, in both the legs. They've had problems before with physical, powerful sides but they've never looked this disjointed before.

Definitely something wrong then. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11678/8684308/Premier-League-Newcastle-deny-reports-of-dressing-room-rift

Pards has talked a few times now about players thinking the season was 'over' some games back. What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Even if we had gotten mathematically safe, does it mean the players are allowed to play in the embarrassing manner of the last few games? Its just bloody ridiculous! He says it as some sort of a defence, as if its not really our fault we thought it was all over. Now we know it was wrong and we'll do something about it. I know it probably didnt happen exactly like that but its all still very unsatisfactory. Makes you think all the talk about the foreigners making us soft may be true. Gary Neville going on about it on Sky apparently.

I think the ghosts of last time are still haunting many of us, Im certainly one of them. Wigan's games against WBA and Swansea are winnable, two opponents who dont have much to play for.

Cant blame them given current form. Just hope the players can finally bother to get off their arses on Saturday.

Very very solid and works his socks off.

Would take that too. I can see Wigan getting a result at WBA.

Looking at the quality of the goals in this match and the fact Wigan are also playing some decent stuff at the moment we're the ones who deserve it unfortunately.Disgusting.

If you're going to sit back and invite pressure soon enough the opposition will peg you there I know what you mean, there just cant be any denying though that absolute rubbish and negative tactics have cost us this season. Negativity that was not always needed under the circumstances. Negativity that we've attributed to our injury problems and the fact we're making do under the situation this season. Just cant be any more excuses now though.

Imploding is something we seem to specialize in. How many times have we crumbled like that in recent years, concede goals that not even the shittiest teams concede? With all the change of personnel and management we've seen over the last decade or so you'd think at least someone would cut that out. Must be something in the water.

I wish, might have done us some good to have a 'team' out yesterday. The way we sat back and tried to hang on from the off in the second half at WBA is what got to people.

He will never go for that, coward that he is. The experience thing worried me too, fully expecting Williamson and Shola to feature for the remainder of the season now.

Hard to explain it isnt it. I mean okay we can suck at defending at times, and with the likes of Taylor you can always expect a big screw up or two every now and then. But yesterday was just incredible. Couldnt believe what was going on and it kept on happening till the very end. Shocking stuff

Yup and we tried to correct that in the second half

Thought it couldnt get any worse than some of the crap we had to witness under Roeder and Fat Sam. But the boys really outdid themselves yesterday. It was the absolute worst performance Ive ever seen from us, in every possible aspect of the game. I think if one actually intended and planned to play that badly he would be hard pressed to do it better than we did yesterday. Ultimate fuckery is what it was.

And has been absolutely abysmal since then. Mind so have the likes of Tiote, Cabaye and just about everyone else

Well thats one way to let it all out

Knowing our luck they just might fancy playing without pressure and knock a couple past us.

It seems clear he has lost the dressing room. My worry is, even if we somehow survive, what can we look forward to next season with him in charge? The players just dont seem to want to play under him. Cant say I really blame them, must be painful trying to play the way he gets us to play. Still pretty pissed at the lack of backbone shown by the players last evening though. Show some spirit and fight for the club and the fans at least even if you dont like the manager. Gutless bastards.

Was just thinking the same thing, must be server problems or something due all the people coming down to whinge after such a game

And nearly 7. Saved by Elliot and the bar Double figues anyone?

Aamzing how many times this kind of thing has happened to us over the last few years yet we still havent beem able to do SHIT about it. Still hurts each time.

I hope he has the self respect to resign after this. Might be our only hope of staying up.

We're going down ;(

Cant wait for his interview.
