Why is that? Newcastle is one of the biggest matches of the season and although you aren't doing that well you get plenty of goals in matches- is it the prices?

Perhaps I could point to the feel good factor of how it is with the owners, that and the Friday night televised situation. But I would have though more towards 25,000, certainly not full, but 21,000 very dissapointed.

Superb win against a good Villa side. Garry Monk is doing a brilliant job.

Good win Zippy, two Albion old boys scored!!

Pretty disappointed as thought we might have come away with a draw and be just outside the top six. Tough place to go to. McCormack wasn't even on the bench.

Delia will be getting the old Hitachi Clit stimulater out tonight I assume. Not as if she can have children. The best she can do is delude herself she owns a rank average cunt of a football club.

Has Neil bought himself another three or four days with today's emphatic win, carc?

We're now stuck with the bugger at least untill The New Year. It's all going to end in tears, but I was rather hoping it would end in tears sooner rather than later because in march, when we are 10th, it'll be too fucking late. Oh well, at least we have Ed Balls.

Ed Balls!?!? Fucking hell, could this get any fucking worse?!?

Fuuuuck.

What does Zambo the ref reckon to the penalty decisions and the sending offs in the Forest v Newcastle match?

Missed them mate, celebrating last night, and drowning my sorrows at the same time after losing 0-3 to Barnsley. I'll see if i can get them on catch up

edit. Just saw the incidents.

1, I thought Shelvey was caught from behind before he retaliated. The ref appeared to miss everything, so assume he was clued up over his headset. I would have yellow carded both players, red was very harsh imo. So I don't think it should have been a pen (Forest foul first)

2. Keeper moved forward before kick was taken but great save

3. Dummett should not have been sent off (yellow). There has been an amendment to the law this season about depriving opponents of goal scoring opportunity (DOGSO), but the wording is crap and it has caused much confusion with refs. What they are trying to get to is that if you deliberately stop an opponent by pulling, pushing, holding tripping, it's a pen and red (as well as deliberate handball of course), but if it's a clumsy mistimed challenge pen and yellow. I thought Dummett's challenge was more clumsy.

4. Definite pen though, but again keeper was off his line

5. Newcastle goal was correctly disallowed due to player holding as he went in to head it

Have I missed owt?

Satisfactory response Zam. First was dodgy the second was probably a penalty. Noticed on another thread on the baby arrival in the family. Congratulations mate.

Cheers ccreds, the refereeing at both Premier and EFL level is getting worse as we saw over the weekend.

We are 3 goals behind Newcastle in the goalscoring stakes.

Shelvey and Dummet get red cards rescinded no bans??!!

Justice done

Alex Neil. Go now. For your own sake. Delia will not sack you and if you stay you'll only tarnish your own legacy. And as you leave, give Ed Balls a kick in the fucking nuts. Cheers and good luck mate.

It's falling apart for Norwich. Hope it continues on Tuesday night so we can move ever closer to the top six. Is Robbie Brady all that carc?

Our thrashing at Newcastle after losing 0-3 to Barnsley may just bring some down to earth. The true signs have been there all season. We have been lucky and we just may have used it up. We were slaughtered at Brentford and came away with all the points, but that sort luck can never last.

Ipswich, Brighton and Derby coming up and we could be in the bottom half come Christmas passing Villa on the way.

It's always tough for managers who've been relegated in the next season. You have to be near-faultless and eight defeats before Christmas certainly isn't that.

Brady's temperament is suspect. He is a talented player but he's a bit too precious for my taste, a big girls blouse basically. We've got too many like that, we need some roll yer sleeves up types, know what I mean? Our best player, Klose, has downed-tools and will go in the next window too which doesn't help. Alex has also given up. No one has the fucking balls to sack him though. It's a bit like breaking up with the girl you once loved and in the end you have to engineer a situation where you fuck her best friend and get her to walk in on the act, then she has no choice but to dump you.

The own goal changed the game.

Steve Mac seems to be doing a fine job at Derby. Into the play off places now.

I'm absolutely stunned that the new owners have sacked Gary Rowett at Blues. After beating Ipswich last night we lie 7th in the table. He's done a great job on a very restricted budget. Zola has been linked. I can only think this is not purely a football mattef.

You will get a icon/name type of manager.

Well it's not football reasons as he's done a very good job in two years. You were in a terrible way when he took over, just about survived the year before then 23rd after an 8-0 defeat.

Some are saying the Zola deal is done. The owners haven't bothered to check his managerial record. Not happy.
