The away supporters were in good heart and voice, generally well behaved, stoical in terms of accepting the result/poor display and, as ever, the Newcastle pubs were well worth visiting. I loo...

Somewhat of a homer, indecisive and let several tough tackles by N/c go including one from behind which led to the 2nd goal. Not one of the PL's better referees.
