Bloody hell!

You'll be needing some silverware shortly then, yeah? If it's any consolation, Manchester Utd will have a bigger fall than any of the other leading clubs when the big crash happens.

6-0?

Sounds like Neville Southall is playing rush goalie this week.

Gah.
Yet another 1-0 defeat away from home in the Premiership.

When will Wenger learn that all an opposition manager needs to do against his team of boys is stick it up 'em?

Get in. We actually looked half decent tonight!

Oh, and looking at the England squad, it's obvious that Scott Parker hasn't got a hope in hell of even getting tried out in an England friendly, let alone making it into the World Cup squad. Good old Sven and his favourites.

. First defeat of 2006 (well, in the league anyway)

Dumb BBC sports reader just now:

"Match of the Day follows this program, so if you don't want to know the results, look away now. (brief pause). Harry Redknapp suffered defeat....."

So looking away from the screen stops you from hearing your voice, does it?

edit: Looking at the match on MotD just now, Everton were certainly on top for the first hour or so. Shame Newcastle have men on the posts at corners, or we'd have been at least 2-0 up in the first half.

The BBC newsreader actually said to turn down the volume AND look away, he did warn you

Apologies to him then. I didn't hear that bit

(I already knew the scores though, so didn't affect me). How are you supposed to know when to switch it back on anyway?

Did you really think that? Yeah, we cleared two off the line (good tactical play, that), but I wouldn't say you had the better of us at any point in the match, from what I saw. I thought it was a good performance from Newcastle, and I haven't been able to say that much this season.

I can only go by what I saw, but they showed around 8 chances created by Everton to just 1 from Newcastle in the first half.

After match comments were positive as well, with Lee Dixon saying that Everton had a good first half. Shame we didn't get Fowler in January. Everton fan, and someone that can finish is just what we need.

Have to agree with Geenius, I think Everton were unlucky to lose the game although with just Beattie up front, Everton will struggle to score lots of goals.

And I have to add after watching the game; Boumsong is a player who should fill every defender in the country with hope of one day playing in the Premiership. If he can play, then anybody can.

Match of the Day hate us, though. I watched the game live and we had more possession, more shots and more corners. Other than the two set-pieces that we cleared off the line, Everton really didn't offer that much. Even with our dodgy defence, I never felt that we were going to concede. And if we can score two goals when we're playing with effectively no strikers, we must have been on top!
