Burnley were very poor last night. And Newcastle although scoring 2 were not much better. The crowd knew it too, St James's Park was like a primary school playground in the school holidays.

Quite right. A while back our play in the final third was woeful. We seem to have sorted that but now can't finish the chances from 2 yards out or the keeper pulls off a series of world class saves.

Why did I read that with the Captain Pugwash theme tune in my head.

Nothing wrong with taking positives. But what twists my balls is when managers say we created plenty of chances and on another day would have put a couple away. Not good enough, if you create good chances you must put some of them away.

And Burnley tonight. Newcastle were not much better either for the home team.

I think I like Andone, he may be the man, but not proven yet as a 15 plus striker.

We have been quite unlucky recently and goalkeepers have played out of their skin, but luck had nothing to do with it tonight, we missed too many good chances, you have to take them.

If we don't win on Saturday, even I will be very worried and moaning.

As I said earlier, we should be putting away at least 2 of the missed chances. If you have a poor spell and miss chances you usually pay the price, like we have tonight, again. We need a consistent goal grabbing striker who converts most of his chances, if you want to at least be a mid table...

It's all really odd, we are playing well but behind, if we were winning we would almost certainly be defending and giving the ball away.

Although 2 up the Newcastle v Burnley game is awful. Benitez is jumping around in the technical area like a baby after every decision that goes against Newcastle. For the form both are in, they are both really poor.

Yet again played well except first 20 minutes but had plenty of chances to be winning this match. You have to put away those chances.

Newcastle 2 up

Don't go to bed just yet, anything could happen and you will miss it.
