Newcastle 3 - Aston Villa 1

At least we had shots on target tonight but............ I gotta go, really fed up.

I need a big hug

Hey, they had 4 shots and scored 3 goals. From the stats it looks like we dominated but the new players need time to gel. I know it's wins that count but would you rather we played dreadfully and won? If so, what kind of future does that point to. Playing well and having that many shots on target will eventually pay dividends. I just hope we don't have to wait too long.

very unlucky tonight, once again failed to take our chances but gave ourselves a mountain to climb within the first 10 mins. plus points CAREW awesome, our goal threat went once he went off. good debut goal for Young will do his confidence a world of good. Hope for better luck against the hammers on saturday.

We were playing a very poor team defensively tonight,most teams create chances against NUFC,we concede goals ourselves far too easily and i`m concerned with only having 29 points.

me 2 ASPINALL

can someone please explain the disallowed carow goal!

We can't expect miracles overnight. Carews goal was good. Even Alan Shearer said so. Can't explain why it wasn't given. Things will take time. Just hang in there everyone. VOTN is right.

I'd like a new goal keeper in the summer - we need points - at least 11 me thinks

9 shots on target and 54% of the ball, have Villa had so many shots on target in any other game this season?

Gutted. We outplayed them for 80 minutes and have come away empty handed! On the plus side Carew and Young we absolutely fantastic!

Well, I was mega peed off after the game, but on reflection i think we actually performed well. We need to be winning these games though

Equatorialvilla - I must admit I'm a McCann fan. In my opinion we always miss him when he's out. However, he's only human and therefore will make mistakes, but don't you think the central cover at the back was lacking? or do you put Milner's goal (which the Geordies are still raving about incidently) down to Gav? I also think, if we had another midfielder as robust as Gav, MON would rest his occasionally either during or between "big" games.

How on earth did we loose this game 3-1? I saw the game and watched highlights on MOTD and Skys Football First and I still cannot get mny head round it. The Stats above say it all. For 80 mins we had them against the ropes. Carew's goal should have stood or we should have received a penalty for a foul on Carew. Carew cetainly did NOT commit a foul. If you watch it again I believe it shouldn't have been a corner in the first place. The ball hit the cross bar and wasn't head over by the defender as the refs decision suggested. I think the ref knew he'd made a mistake and decided to rectify his error by blowing for a foul - he blew his whistle before Carew made contact with the ball. Anyway... Despite the result I was really impressed by the 2 new boys. A right "Little n Large" duo. Their link up play, considering they'd had 3 days to train together was superb. Deemz is 100% spot on when he said our goal threat diminished dramatically when he Carew was subbed. Considering it was Carews first first team game since early December I thought he did brilliantly - What about that shot he had when the ball dropped over his left shoulder?!?!?!? Bring on the Hammers. 4-0 The Villa.

Is this where I come to gloat then? :-) Having said that, we were rather lucky to beat you last night... I think you should do well the rest of the season.
