Newcastle fans were still as disgruntled as ever with Mike Ashley and Alan Pardew and I honestly felt that performance was even WORSE than the disgrace we witnessed last season.
It was a shambles, and I will be honest and hold up my hand and say the Mackems took us to the cleaners ... but the worrying thing is ... they are NOT that good!
But they kept their shape, moved to support each other, and made the most out of the limited ability they have.
Pardew's boys, on the other hand, looked like a Sunday League side after a night on the drink!
The occasion got to most of them, and they were never at the races.
Can anyone tell me what position Anita was supposed to be playing?
He covered ground but he just got in the way!
Ben Arfa was another running around like a headless chicken, without the ability to thread a killer ball from point A to point B.
Williamson is a giant when he has Colo beside him, but is Taylor really what we need at the club? He seems to me he lives off his reputation of being a Geordie more than on any ability, and when the pair are together they sadly lack someone to lead them.
Yes we all know Cabaye was not there, but that is another story. We all knew he was going to go and Joe Kinnear admitted that in the programme notes.
Talking of which, Pardew's own programme notes had me reaching for the sick bucket.
Did you know that Cabaye was just an "average player" until Alan 'Pele' Pardew taught him everything he knows.
Just another attempt by the manager to convince the supporters what a brilliant coach and tactician he is, when it's just another attempt to patronise his public.
Geordies are not THAT thick. They can see straight through him.
And they were not exactly shy to show their anger.
First, an angry Toon fan ran onto the turf to throw his season ticket at Pardew, then there were pockets of disturbance after the game on St James' Boulevard that resulted in ugly scenes as supporters called for Ashley's head.
Between those two incidents I took it upon myself to venture down to the dugout to tell the former West Ham boss exactly what I thought about him.
He claimed another stat in having the Mackems do the double over us for the first time since the 1960s, and perhaps it was time for him to learn that.
So I was taken away by stewards and put out onto the street.
Not something I'm proud of, but I know Pardew heard every word, and that was one little bit of satisfaction on a day we were dragged into the gutter by the Mackems!
Ashley, Kinnear and Pardew ... you are about to reap the whirlwind!
