Two heavily flawed sides making a lot of mistakes.

We make almost all of our mistakes on the ball rather than off it.

At least nobody's going to call Newcastle United Set Piece FC.

This lot are just not ready.

In fairness, no league has six really good sides in it.

Thought our ref had a decent game last night, kept things flowing which helped us and just the one deserved yellow for their guy. Unlike the d*ckhead we had in the first leg. He'd probably have booked the lino for colliding with one of the German subs.

Just harsh to tar the whole Premier League with that brush, as some will no doubt want to.

Narrowly avoided the drop last term, so they're probably doing about as well as Sevilla, Hoffenheim, Lecce or Le Havre might do :-\
