There must have been 2ooo Newcastle fans in east London on Saturday the 25th July to watch in horror as we were beaten 6-1 by a 3rd flight English league club. The one goal we got from the game came from the spot and the decision to give us a penalty was a dubious one indeed.
Obafemi Martins milked the challenge in the box and went over like lemming.
Newcastle started with a decent looking line up with maybe question marks only hanging over the two goalies who both played one half of the game and contributed to a good drubbing especially in the 2nd half. The defence though should have helped out our young goalies though but instead at times just stood flat footed and waited for the goals to come rolling in. The over head kick was as much a kick in the teeth as the chants from the home section of "we want six" and they got it. They did not look good and we had lots of possession but we had no Idea of how to play football. Only a couple of individuals actually did ok namely duff and taylor and that's just not good enough even if you don't want to play for Newcastle.
Calls for "Ashley out" and "if you hate Ashley stand up" rang around the ground throughout the match then at the final whistle the majority that stayed to the bitter end booed the team off the pitch and rightly so. What has happened to this onetime great club?
We need a couple of Geordie's back in charge thats what I prescribe its that simple, and Ashley and co should be chained to the tyne bridge till we get back our place in the top of footballs elite.
What another sad sad day for Newcastle fans but one more just around the corner.
