Believe it or not, the term "Omerta" makes an appearance today.
Match Reviews
CaughtOffside - Video Highlights
Louise Taylor, The Guardian - Ms. Taylor's eloquent musings are much more pleasant to read following a win, but this is still required material.
MirrorFootball - "...a cursory glance at the team-sheet would have illustrated the gulf between a club which is now being run on a strict budget and the richest in world football...[Newcastle's] game plan was torn up inside five disastrous minutes when they twice pushed the self-destruct button to hand the advantage to the visitors."
Matt Micheletti, EPLTalk - "But any notion that Alan Pardew was lacking any sufficient tactical know-how was put to bed by the end of the first half...Newcastle’s dominance was not to come to fruition though."
Ed Harrison, nufcblog.com - "Today Newcastle were not good enough – it’s as simple as that - at least not in those first 4 vital minutes - – and whatever happened to our wonderful home form of last season?"
Doocey, Tyne Time - "When Fabricio Coloccini put the ball into his own net in the last ten minutes of the game, my heart sank and I nearly dropped my turkey sandwich."
Toonsy, nufcblog.org - "3-1, but it isn’t all doom and gloom, for a change."
Steve Brenner, The Sun - Reading this piece, you would get the impression that Carlos Tevez had the greatest performance in the history of the Premiership.
