Manchester City 3-1 Newcastle match highlights

Match highlights of the 3-1 defeat at Manchester City for you now.

It's the end of our unbeaten run now, which is a shame as there was a club record to be had. However the lads did us proud and went to Manchester City and caused problems for the Champions elect. I guess now we have to start another unbeaten run!

Personally I think it's important not to get too downhearted by a defeat that was always likely to happen. The gulf in class between us and them is clear to see, but I guess that is what spending nigh on £500 million on players gets you.

We gave it a go and created more chances at the Etihad than any other team I've watched this season. I'm still annoyed about losing, but that is just the way I am and I dare say every football fan is the same.

We're off to Old Trafford next and what I can say is that if we play with the same intent and purpose we could get something. We'll need luck of course, but it could happen. Most importantly I've seen enough from this game, and in fact this season, to know that a push for 7th place should be on the cards.

Howay the lads!
