Cardiffs shots weren't that threatening though. Harper saved most with ease.

Nah, Cardiff were brilliant. That's why the won, by a clear margin.

You obviously haven't watched us much this season.

Cardiff were amazing, they played total football for 90 minutes. Brazil, eat your hearts out.

I noticed a flag today 'NORTH SOMERSET BLUEBIRDS'.... don't tell me they have split from the South Somerset mob
The rumours are true? I'd heard rumours, but nothing confirmed.

This was our first big test of the season and we flunked it. Although Newcastle will probably be one of the best sides we play all season so we shouldn't feel too hard done by. But whatever the stats say, we weren't great, we showed potential all over the pitch yet nowt came of any of it.
And it's a shame we don't have a central midfield to speak of. One of them would come in really useful over 46 games.

No, we put in the worst shift of the season so far and deserved to be punished for it. I dont think anyone is arguing that.
I dont think Newcastle can be too cocky about the result though, they played boring workman like football. Did the job, but was not exciting to watch. Shutting up shop with just a one goal advantage is a dangerous tactic.

Its alot safer than having no men behind the ball like usual. Forgive me if im wrong, but doesn't everyone criticise us attacking too much? Now when were defending well, everyone crticises that to, can't win really.
As a nufc fan its a pleasure to see them defending well for once.

Well... until about a week ago i had never given NUFC a second thought, so i have never criticised in the past.
I hope they do well this season

badlands was watching Cardiff playing the beautiful game.
I think the tactics were spot on, tbf. Playing away against a strong team. We've played much better at home this season.

I think he meant he would rather watch a beautiful game than what we had to put up with yesterday.
i know points make prizes, but I can see where he is coming from.

Did the Newcastle fans sing much?
I was expecting them to be noisy, but only heard a few chants after they scored.

The fact that you made nothing out of your possession is your team's fault for not being creative enough. Crystal Palace tried the same defensive approach that we did against us and we still beat them 2-0. We have one fit striker at the moment so don't have much choice but to keep the midfield packed, as it were.

Cardiff got a small taste v us of what its like facing a prem team i think, we may have a small squad but the quality is there still. They need these kind of tests if they're going to compete in the prem someday.

Have said it before, just got attached to them when i was younger, was too late to stop supporting them now(when i was younger i didn't think about there 'having to be a connection'). Apologies if that came off patronising, i was just saying its a good test to have.

Funnier than he thinks he is.
For me NUFC were a boring very cynical team, thye were more street wise than city and played the ref like a trombone. Alan Smith should have been sent off far earlier imho, as he played all the game on or over the line. Bothroyd was crap but the few chances he did have Smithy was climbing all over him, Chopra also felt his weight on more than one occasion. Not a great performance from city, but atleast we tried to play football. If the game NUFC played is what success is about then fuck it. I remember watching Neath play rugby in the early 80s and thinking that if 9man rugby was what won you games, and it did, then I'd rather not be there to see it!

Well I have had 24 hours to mull over whay I saw yesterday (and to sober up)
Refused As Fuck is harsh on us, we weren't shit, and yes the Mags won by a clear margin (not sure when a team last won by an unclear margin, mind, maybe when they drew?)
Newcastle were just cleverer than us. From my seat (over the halfway line in the Ninian stand, ie slap bang under the cameras) the Toon just sat deep in midfield and strangled us there, Nolan and Smith (dontcha just love that twat) deeper, Guthrie (who btw was lucky he got took off to save a dismissal) and Ranger ahead of them. They collectively were just more streetwise than us, playing the ref, making fouls, going down, using up time, just more savvy than us. I say all this not really as a criticism cos all day I have had had a growing respect for what their (for them) bare-bones squad achieved. We didn't hav the nouse, guile or craft to overcome it so we got done. It was really intresting to be there and see it and I hope we learn fast from it. We need Ledley and Rae or Macca to step up big time of we are going to do anything and Bothroyd to stay on his feet and Chops to re-find his ever-fragile confidence.
Also Quinn had a shocker why was Matthews dropped he has been brilliant
I have to say Barton made me laugh when he went off, clapping all 4 City stands first, cheeky fucker, fair play mind
Fair play too to the Toon fans, I usually think that Toon Army schtick is a load of sentimentalised bollocks but they were loud, passionate friendly and by the time the train got back to Paddington at 2030 they were proper steaming!
So an interesting day that I hope we get something from, starting at the world's most fucking dull club ever, on Weds. See you there boys

Jones doesn't trust youth. Never has. For a big big game he is always going to choose experience over youth unless given no other option. Even if that experience is slower than snail carrying a piano.
badlands was watching Cardiff playing the beautiful game.
I never said that.
On the Newcastle thread I posted what I thought of the game.
Yep. Trouble ıs, we keep faılıng these tests.

A very small taste compared to when we faced Liverpool, Arsenal and dare i say it even Spurs.
Or beating Leeds and Middlesborough in the FA Cup.
Or facing Portsmouth in the FA Cup final.
Its not like Cardiff don't rub up against premiership clubs all the time.

I wasn't taking cup competitions into consideration with that post.
And lost.
Mıddlesborough were the dregs of the Prem. We dıd do well agaınst Leeds, but they were at the begınnıng of a very long slıde.
And losıng.
I don't lıke to say ıt, but Trıppy has a poınt. I don't thınk we'd fare too well ın the Prem at the moment. I'd stıll lıke to get there though, ıf only for a season.
