Newcastle post match thread

Calling it before the Crystal Palace pre-match thread, on the first page at least two people will mention the words "banana skin" in their post.
 
Thought we were sloppy and wasteful today. Nearly the architects of our own downfall at times but in truth we were still worthy winners and 15 points clear.

Mind the gap.
 
Heard Newcastle airport is closed by the weather, anyone know how the team are getting home? (and don't say flying anyway.)
 
Palace glad all over said:
Zaha does have a bit of quality though ;) - he can make teams pay.

You can live in hope!- And I agree he might just create something - but he will need to take the one chance he gets. Some would say that Kane also has the quality to make us pay - but a fortnight ago he hardly got a sniff. The point is if you don't have the ball - you cant score.
 
What a weird game. Newcastle’s tactics were the most negative I think I’ve ever seen. Not only the 10 men behind the ball throughout the whole game, but unlike the other teams that’ve done that this season, they weren’t even interested in trying to grab something on the break for the first 80 minutes. So poor with just no clue how to string 3 passes together. How we only scored 1 is beyond me. And yet, we played into their hands in the last 10 minutes and nearly slipped up.
 
Ultra professional.

Encapsulated by Otamendi’s headed clearance.

They are truly valuing a clean sheet, even when, in all reality, it wouldn’t really matter if we conceded.

That’s hardwired, programmed, professionalism and that will reap rewards in the biggest games where it really does matter.

This group can win any competition they put their mind to.

Saw Inter do it under Maureen at the Nou Camp in 2010, but they were protecting a 3-1 lead at least.
