On way back from the game. We played well today. Jimmy Mac and Punch were superb. Thought Cabaye hado his best game for some time to. I thought we closed them down quickly and worked hard as a team.

Thoroughly deserved the equaliser and I felt we should of continued the momentum instead of sitting back and playing for the draw.

How long is it going to take Pardew to realise that Kelly is not a left back. Naturally he got raped by Sterling today but I actually feel for the guy a bit because he is not a left back. He looks so uncomfortable. I know Fryers is pretty crap to but at least he's naturally left footed and he can't do much worse than Kelly is doing at the moment.

The warning was there for the second goal. They rolled it along the floor on their previous corner and it didn't come off. We weren't switched on and were defensively naive yet again. We are not gonna win games or get points if we carry on defending like this.

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

I have more faith in the owners doing what is right for the clubs future. No way will they let the situation continue if we don't start to pick up points, no matter about transitions etc. How do I know this ? Well the past tells you this. It would be very hard for us to drop and return as the squad would disintegrate unlike Newcastle.

..and what about Burnley?

Thought we did well today. Lots of people seem to forget that our resources are very limited and are much too quick now to jump on the backs of the players. When I play if someone makes an mistake the first thing you normally hear is a teammate shouting "fix it" and not dwelling on the mistake.
We all no Kelly isn't a left back, he was hangout to dry after receiving a hospital pass for the first goal.
Wickham was a good sub and right in the city players faces.
Zabaletta going down seemed to spark the crowed and players into life.

The team looks low on confidence and desperately need a win.

..just like Mr sandpaper at Burnley.

nah too sensible, must be pardews fault

They're justified, and they're ancient
And they drive an ice cream van
