Defensive masterclass in the Newcastle United game.
My word, four goals in the first half hour. Rubbish.

He's been ridiculous on the yellow cards....
But I still think we could beat them at home. I fear we'd lose to Newcastle and I couldn't bear that :-(

Tremendous watch. As a neutral.
For all my complaining, I'd be furious if we were this bad defensively. Well, we were, for years. And I was :-)

Mikel has almost certainly switched it off already, he will have seen enough.

Five first half goals in a big game is shameful. One is almost forced to wonder what exactly everyone is doing in training :-|

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.
So there's that :-\

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 :-\

Don't think we have that kind of money. And we need midfielders.
