i went into the Strawberry at about 10 to 3 to try and see you lot.It was like the black hole of Calcutta in there.Anyhow if any of you lot ever feel like calling Peter Reid then think again>His post match comments were so fair and so pro-Newcastle .If you cannot appriecate his honesty then you are not human.

I thought Peyter got it right. Sunlun were sh!te and thoroughly deserved a thrashing. Sadly, this match came a week too early. If we'd had a striker who knew where the goal was, you lot would be staring relegation in the face right now.

Top marks to you Soops - saddly, if you didn't hit the Straabeery before 2:00 you had little chance of any air - it was nice and cool by the back door ;-)

Anyway - what did you think of the game. Good entertainment, eh??

I think your relegation claim may be a bit too early.And no i did not think the match was up to much.No tackles and very little passion and football on show.Liked it when Hutch kissed the badge though.That was right in front of me as i was in seat L1 in the Sovereign Suite.The very last seat in the Milburn before you hit the Gallowgate.I must say though,world class chips in the food bit.Fresh,tasty and VERY more-ish.

Sorry we missed yer at the Strawb - genuinely. I've never seen it quite so packed in there - very unpleasant.

As you say Peyter was refreshingly honest in his assessment of the game - we should have won it comfortably, but didn't. Although we take the p*ss out of him, he's actually a top blerk imo.

As I said earlier on Conan's thread, I was disappointed with your lot - they don't appear to have moved forward from last season, and I was surprised how much control we had in m/f.

Anyway honours even until next time eh?

I cannot help but think that we are being judged too early and far too harshly.We did NOT play well today but we did not lose.Surely that is not worthy of complaint.Also i think that you should be asking why you did not win.The lower leagues are full of 'unlucky'teams y'know.I know you keep thinking about injuries and thay are indeed a fact but you should not look at tomorrow if you are going to neglect today!Worry about yourselves as i saw nothing today to suggest that you are on the up!On the level maybe ,but upwards,nope.

I think you're being little hard on us sk - I'm not saying we were unlucky, but we were on top for most of the game, if never totally dominant, and missed several excellent chances. Without making excuses either, but three of our better players weren't playing - although AS played the last 15 minutes - and two of our better players went off injured in the 1st half.

I think we have improved slightly from last season, and have much more balance with Robert on the left.

I do agree with you that it far too early to be making judgements on either side, but I felt fairly comfortable with our performance, whereas Peyter for one was obviously uncomfortable with yours.

BTW why on earth was Arca not playing? I was well pleased to see that donkey Kilbane playing instead of him.

Good for you SK, must admit, as good as your word. Shame you didn't meet up with the lads and lasses, I think you would have enjoyed their company, and they yours.
