After going 2:0 up, iirc?Can't remember every watching the final day of the season without a care in the world, except maybe 2009/10 when we lost 5-2 to relegated Burnley
Hoping for more of a Swansea lay down but any port in a storm.1-0 then
Modric and Bale scoredAfter going 2:0 up, iirc?
And we had Ben Alnwick in goalModric and Bale scored
Please stop, i've only just finished the meds.And we had Ben Alnwick in goal
"he's one of our own" means nothing when his inclusion in the X1 practically destroys our rhythm and leaves us open every single time. Of course there's other factors why we lost but i'm of the opinion we have already lose half the battle when he starts due to his deficiencies.
Poch is brilliant but why he decided to drop Benteleb after 1 bad game after his return yet continuously giving Mason chance after chance despite being ridiculously poor is mind blowing.
It's not mind blowing if the reason is Bentaleb is a jumped up stroppy little cunt which I'm getting the strong feeling that he might be."he's one of our own" means nothing when his inclusion in the X1 practically destroys our rhythm and leaves us open every single time.

.....
As for Mason, give him a fucking break, not because he's one of our own, but because last season he proved that he is more than capable of playing very well in the middle of the pitch, ......
Great post. This is a lad that was the heart of our side last season.I specifically said that there's a case for discussing Mason and his place in the side and even the squad. That wasn't my point. Not that I'm surprised that you understood nothing of my post.
Rather my point was that no matter what anyone of us thinks about him right now, making him a scape goat in turning the selection for Newcastle primarily about not selecting Mason, is way out of line. Someone who's, in spite of your off topic arguments, one of our own and has given his all every time, he's taken the pitch, deserves more respect than that.
If you feel a certain way about Mason's performances that's fine and all, but in a season where (to varying degrees) homegrown players with heart and attitude has gotten us where we are, those players deserve imho to be discussed with some respect, even when the opinion happens to be negative.
Leave that simplistic scape goating to the Adebayor's of this world!
I thought I saw every minute of every game last season. Somehow I missed him proving this, perhaps I popped out for a pee.
If we have more than one game to go we would have blown top 4 certainly.
I don't think it's scapegoating though to call things, as you see them.Great post. This is a lad that was the heart of our side last season.
He may well have fallen behind as we've surged forward this season but he deserves more respect than people saying he's shit now and scapegoating him every time he sets foot on the pitch.
He was very very poor yesterday and was all over the place in both ends of the pitch.
