Newcastle were on top at one point in this game. They could have gone a few goals up after the first goal. Aguero has literally shown them how to be clinical infront of goal second half. Kevin De Bruyne with a decent finish too.

Newcastles goal wasn't bad by the way. City got sucked out wide leaving Mitrovic alone infront of goal. Newcastle made it happen even if City are to blame for leaving Mitrovic alone in the box.

Rumours abound that Sunderland will be looking for a new manager tonight.

Swap deal?

The scalp was coming I said above, It appears Newcastle can do it going forward but have literally nothing to stop it coming the other way. Kevin Keegan tactics being applied and failing

The thing is King Kevin nearly won them the title but sadly they are a long way from those glory days.

Don't remind me, that season was an exact copy of the Liverpool campaign push the other year. One big team, one former big team. both destined to never win the Premier League, the other also destined to never see a cup again.

Then again, you're talking about a Newcastle team that just happened to constantly have the best strikers in the Premier League, most of which then went on to be the Best strikers the league's ever seen. I think it got to 2000 and we saw the first changes in the game and Newcastle didn't mimic it, they just went down hill.

You look back and think, Shearer and Cole in the same team? Ferdinand? Ginola, how on earth haven't you picked up a trophy along the way there. Two cup finals and a 2nd place finish.

Not wishing to be rude in any way, I for one would love to see Newcastle up towards the top as I have a close relative who is a big Toon fan, but how do you define a 'big' team, Newcastle are certainly a big team in terms of their brilliant, long suffering supporters but I can't think of any other reason to call them a big team, unless you are going back to the very early 1900's. ?

The ref in this match is an idiot.

All he is missing is a blue and white scarf.

denphone · 03-10-2015, 18:11

Oh dear it seems the scummer's and the skate's ain't happy today.

That was a dive. Falcao clearly going down before any contact was made! Ref made the right call, yellow card all day.

Well there are many managers under pressure in the Premiership and the special one is no different.

Still hard to fathom how last seasons Chelsea have gone so far backwards ?
