G'Day. G'Day Goodbye! ( A match thread)

Would you be saying that if Woltemade had taken the chance he teed up for him?

Chants of getting sacked in the morning again. Led to arguments with those who disagree (with chatting it at least) and some scuffles.

Good to see all the positives of last few years drained away in what, 3 weeks,

I'm pleased the stats show what I saw, never had a threatening shot on goal, our shots are pass backs.

Are our players good enough to play out from back round/through a press? I've seen no real evidence of it so far.

We've spent a lot of money but have we actually improved the squad? I'm unsure, but it's hard to tell with so many factors on play. But am leaning towards massive fuck up in transfer window.

This is me. Apart from Jesus, who was actually good value, and Jair Cunha who is a good prospect we might as well have stuck with Jota, Ramon and Toffs.

Assume they wanted him sacked tonight rather than in the morning? Or was it a ‘I’m a more loyal fan’ type disagreement?

Loyal fan, don't sing stuff like that. Think they likely still want him gone.

Though the guy next to me was remonstrating with guy behind and saying we've played well today why do you want him gone. I had to say to him I think it's a stretch to say we played well.

I said beforehand anything less than 4 conceded would be a good result so I guess on that scale we did play well.

Looks like we needed a bigger bus.

Postecoglou told Fray afterwards that he 'thought we controlled the first half'. Not sure if he was at a different game this afternoon.

A bit of sick just came up to the back of my throat.
Don’t even fucking joke about things like that

You can’t take that sort of nonsense seriously. All managers say shit like that.

I mean, he's correct. So long as he equates "control" to "still in the game at half time".

I thought the Swansea game was a fairly even match. Today was what you'd expect Swansea to achieve on a visit to Newcastle. This is our level with Ange in charge.

I keep looking at the line-up and thinking that's what late-stage Steve Cooper would have picked, when I had pretty much given up (sadly) on him.

Perhaps, but when you're in the position that Postecoglou is - and the evidence is obviously to the contrary - I'd argue you're better finding another clichéd response to lean on.

The trivial interview thing that I do think is dumb is that in 30 years of management no-one has pointed out to him that looking at your feet all the way through interviews makes you look shifty and evasive.
