Larry - b*llocks. We played very well in the first half and caused them a few problems. Cole was excellent up front. I haven't seen a replay but I'd say the free kick that lead to their goal was debatable (much like their goal in the first leg). Second half we got caught on the counter and our heads dropped.
They are a very good side - make no mistake about that. They'd be more than a match for most of the sides in the Premiership.
We had some good performances - Spector, Collins, Cole. Tevez was hugely disappointed. Cole would have been a certain starter on Sunday and it looked like Spector finished the match with an injury.

Support, encouragement and faith in people is far more likely to get results and then when things do turn around there's a fair chance it'll be paid back in loyalty.
What a load of New Labour "Everybody gets a prize" bull****
I am uncertain whether you have been listening to Alan Postives Pardew or you are just a huge fan of The Office but that is just a waste of bandwidth mate. IMHO of course.

Thanks for your feedback.
Why don't you pick someone in your life and constantly criticise their perfomance despite their best efforts. Then come back and give me the results.
I only got back from Italy at 6am and have just got up (went straight to bed).
I'll do a bigger report on the day and the match later on but I've got to say how fantastic we (the fans) were last night. Great day except for the result.

:shock: We were absolutely deathly quiet in the second half.

First-half I thought we was fantastic. Second-half was much worse however I think that was down to being 3-0 down and knowing the game was over. I did kind of mean the day as a whole as well.
I stopped reading this thread last night due to the attitude of some fans on this site.
I fully respect this is a forum for free speech, and there is nothing wrong with fans questioning player performances and attitude, nor Pardews tactics and formtions. No one can be expected to support the club blindly, nor should they not be able to express their dissapointment.
But some of the hysteria and fickleness at the moment is making me sick.
Last year this manager and group of players stayed up in style and took us to a magnificent cup final. I bet all you moaners were loving everything then. How great was is that Pardew took us to a final, but still put out a strong team to give us the added pleasure of denying the Spuds champions league football.
Now within 6 games the toys have been thrown out the pram by some supporters. It may be a cliche but some of you are reminding me about everything I hate about Spurs fans. Gimme success, change players, and do it now. No faith, no patience.
When the third goal went in people are ****ing all and sundry, and posting Pardew out. I just find it embarrassing how short termist and fickle you are. How can you expect to be taken seriously when we are not even in October yet? It's laughable.
Yesterday we played a team at the top of Seria A and the game swung on three top saves by their keeper. We hit the woodwork and lost more goals chasing the game. It's hardly a disgrace. We had one of the toughest draws in the competiton for fcuks sake. Critise yes, but please be realistic.
Yes we are shaky at the moment but slagging players and a manager you previously trusted is surley a bit premature. Christ if this club changed managers every time we went on a losing slump we would be passing the 1000 manager mark by now.
