Outplayed, but we were way out of site before we even turned up
At least we threatened in the second half!
They only had 14% more possession than us, surely they should only have beaten us by the one goal?
Well I had a feeling we’d get beaten in this match, just didn’t think it’d be by as many goals and that we wouldn’t score any. The annoying thing was that the first two/three goals could’ve been easily prevented. Williamson being beaten to that header by moses was ridiculous, Mike had at least five inches on the lad and neither jumped yet victor got his head on it, Williamson needs to be fired back to 4/5th choice CB in the summer. Simpson shouldn’t have let maloney peel away from him so easily, should have made more of an attempt at blocking his shot and Krul really shouldn’t have been beaten by that. The third goal was ridiculous, how was it that colocinni was the only defender in the box, he’s good (the first block proved that) but even cpt colo cant stop an attack consisting of 4 on 1. Di Santo’s goal was class, all that couldve been done was close him down quicker or not have had Krul so far off his line. All in all we were outplayed, outclassed and out-gunned, we werent in this game, lets hope we can reverse the score line against the russian mafia. HTL
Chelsea 1-0 QPR already
Whey QPR definately won’t be helping us out 3-0
Just need Joey to lose it and go tred on a few toes
im not even thinking about champions league anymore after yesterday! personally we arent ready 4 champions league yet but getting anything else than 6th place would be a big bonus!! europe here we come!! in the summer we need a new defence!!! debuchy and pieters in please
4-0 after 25 mins
make that 4
….go on Chelsea, get all those goals out of your system before Wednesday 
So much for Chelsea being tired and preoccupied with CL final ,they on fire today .I think they are running on adrenalin and excitement ,also seeing us get swatted yesterday will of given them a boost too.
Really wanted QPR to give em a tireing game today too , oh well maybe Joey can crock a couple for us. 
No point hopeing Blackburn gonna help us out ,can’t see it tbh.
Not looking forward to Wednesday now
yup – wednesday will be tough, just gotta hope a few injuries happen playing on a heavy pitch
Thought we looked very heavy legged yesterday in comparison to Wigan. None of our players could run away from their markers. Our pressing and closing down was also very poor. They excelled at this in the first half.
At least Pardew respected the fans by leading the applause at the end. How many times has it been said if the team was as good as the fans.
5th place would be better than 6th in so much as we wouldn’t have to go thru the qualifying rounds, but rather straight into the group stage.
But at the end of the day we’ll take what ever we can.
We’ve come a long way in two yrs, but still got a long way to go to get on the same level as any CL team.
No worries tho, so long as we keep improving.
I think its fair to say that some of wor players dont have the necessary skills and abilities to take us up into that exclusive group. No disrespect to them, everyone has their level, but we need to find some better talent over the summer months.
Really crap weekend ,heavy loss ,chelsea on fire and pissing down with rain
.Even Torres isn’t a dud anymore. 
QPR need to lose the plot this 2nd half.
Could do with a few over exuberant tackles shall we say.
B.B your right top reinforcements needed in the summer ,defence being top priority .We are fine up front but will still need a new top striker to cover ACON and injuries not to mention Europa and cup games.
cisse is shit
No Not wor Cisse
Williamson was facing his own goal for the first goal with his back to the cross or was this because of a push? Anyway he and Simpson together give a weak feeling to our right side. Had Martinez done his homework?
whoa close by Jamie Mac there
They need water skis not football boots on that pitch .
At least we dont hear the FCB song anymore, which despite making me laugh got a bit
GROUCHO said self and same before,always a weakness there imo mate
Barton booked, now he needs to go balistic and drop Mata and Tores
Torres wtf
hat trick
A fuuny thing yesterday was when wigan scored every time they played that music that we sing along to we hate sunderland. So the geordie fans started po go and singing and going mental every time wigan scored. The look of disbelief on the home fan’s faces was very funny
Wonder if QPR would be in this position if they had stuck with Warnock.
cringeworthy, the love in for torres by the commentators
Have to feel sorry for AVB, player power got him the boot.
I fucking hate chewsea. Bunch of kunts
Toby@27 That’s because they are a shitty rugby town and don’t understand what a real football fan is or the funny irony of their little goal scoring ditty .
You only have to see what they are all saying today like Moses better than Benny 
CLUELESS TOTALLY CLUELESS . 
chelskis pitch is shocking
Hitman – getting the excuses in early
we could be on the end of another raping
6
think wilo will be haveing the shits round about now
6.O Oh dear
I have to say and you might laugh, but I haven’t seen anything in Chelsea to be particularly worried about.
I can actually see us beating them, with ease.
The comeback is on!
Ha Ha papa smurf scores
BB…If QPR played like this against any team in the top half(except Liverpool) I’d have expected them to concede at least 4
isnt it funny the ashley bum licker mob only come on when we are winning
expected QPR to be a tad more physical.
They really are tripe and dont deserve to survive the drop.
BB…aye, I thought Joey would have at least showing a bit of fight and aggression if not skill.
you can hardly see the screen for all the commentators spunk all over the place.
Give it a fuckin rest please. ffs
comon Blackbum
The reality is that we were depending heavily on other teams results, regardless of our own for us to secure Champions League football – it was always going to be a big ask.
The fact is that we are playing European football next season. Yesterday just brought us all back down to earth with a mighty bump, but it should take nothing way from what we have achieved this season. We were poor throughout yesterday and Williamson and Simpson had particularly poor games, but defence was always an area that needed improvement in the summer.
My only concern now, is having a run of 6 undefeated games, we finish the season with 4 defeats. Obviously I hope that’s not the case and we win them all, but mostly I’d like us to win the City game with it being our final home game and SBR statue going up would make it a good sign off for the season.
i am not worried by chelsea either if we play like we can we can cause some damage not to mention they will have one eye on the F.A cup we should be looking to get stuck in, looking forward to seeing marvaux back.
Sharpy@47 Spot on.
still one point ahead of chelsea
If we do or don’t make champions league it won’t be because of the last 4 games it will be because of the 38 games of the whole season.
C’mon Blackburn
Spurs up for this
Well, goal difference is completely beyond us with all our rivals now, our only hope of CL is to win every match. Can’t see it, still, it’s been a great season eh
Spuds looking much better than of late worryingly
FECK
You wait if spuds win this all theyr’e fans will be on one giving it Arry ‘s a god
fickle numptys.
Is funny alan pardew and many of other keep emphasising there is no pressure on the team. So when there is a chance of being in UCL,we fail the 1st hurdle by losing big against wigan.
Now not only we out of top 4 atm,we have pressure now to beat chelsea next in order to get back.
Or else we drop to 6th,and stay there.
Angel -But that’s the Newcastle way ,always has been .
@KIMTOON: Weirdly,from genuine no pressure on the team itself,to having unnecessary pressure,they better show some effort against Chelsea,Man City,Everton.
6th would be fine with me.
I just hope we don’t lose all our remaining games and take a couple more hidings in the process… cause that would leave a bitter aftertaste to what has been a fantastic season
blackburn are absolutely shite, glad they’re relegated
6th for us i reckon, still far better than ever imagined
Hopefully we’ll give Chelski a good game.
shame blackburn and qpr are so shite as i would have liked villa to go down, my three for the drop are
qpr
blackburn
wolves
I do believe we can draw with chelsea,or win them.
Draw with Man city since is home game,+with SBR statue unveiling,hopefully the players and the fans can do a part.
Win everton.
And hope Arsenal last two games ended up no wins,same with Spurs last three games.
Yup, you can say what you like about football being football but I would have traded our fixtures for Spurs’ in a heartbeat, even given recent form. Theirs had to change at some point, as did ours.
The way I look at it is if arsenal dra or lose one of their remaing games and we win all of ours we go ahead of them, and I fancy spurs to lose one of their remainig games
Funny actually, if we lose to Chelsea I’ll probably end up hoping they WIN the champions league…so at least spurs won’t get it
@NEWKIE: But i seriously dont think anyone expected us to get beaten so badly early,and is none other than wigan?
I was expected a draw with wigan,or even a minor lost,since they are having a surprising run lately win against top clubs at their home.
But whoa,our manner of defeat.
What i was saying is, Our fixture is actually better than spurs. If u want to exchange with them,given how we just perform against a relegation battle club,i would say NO.
Newkie
) and hammer chelsea, then with the home crowd on our side beat Man city, then with the momentum with us thrash everton 
to be fair its been one game, it might’ve only been a blip. who’s to say we won’t go to london(
@AndyMag: Well,we might just do that.After all,last season result shows that we surprisely do well against clubs above us,and fail against club below us.
Win all 3matches.
Daily mirror reporting we have had a bid of £5m turned down for Douglas and Villa to offer £7m for him. To be honest I kinda hope we don’t get him as I’m really concerned about his temprement and how he’d adapt to the PL often aggressive game.I’ll get me tin hat out as I know a lot of you rate him but I really have missgivings about him.
KIMTOON divent worry mate ill fight your corner with you,i dont rate him one bit
temperament
Ice@73 That’s the spirit
Seriously though ,he really worries me .
KIMTOON ive watched him a few times,good in the air, end of
Ice, Yeah Villa can av him and take him down to fizzy pop next season
I am currently rooting for blackburn madly.
Angel-Yes the manner of our defeat was shocking, but you look at the relegation teams out there and Wigan are by far the best. Would anyone really not choose blackburn at home to Wigan away?
Bolton might be starting to look more dangerous-but then they shipped two goals against the scum who haven’t threatened in weeks, still much worse than Wigan. Villa away? One of the easiest fixtures out there really and they’re getting worse match by match as the fans turn on them….finally Fulham at home? Fulhams away record is one of the worst in the League,t they’ve just shipped 4 against Everton.
And speaking of Everton we have to play them away, as well as Chelsea, and an invigorated City side at home…No I would have swapped fixtures all day….
-Andy I’m not saying we can’t do it, I said yesterday if we play at our best against any of the remaining teams at their best I think we could beat them all bar city. Yes, I think we’re out and out the better team than Chelsea. But will we perform? Perhaps against Chelsea, but I’m not sure we’ll give 100% in all our remaining games and it would be easy to lose any of them. Spurs still only have to pick it up to about 70% for their remaining fixtures, after they’ve been so bad for so long.
Newkie…maybe true but if we had the easier fixtures left then it would mean we’d have played the harder games so we possibly wouldn’t have as many points, we all play the same teams over the season. The run in doesn’t decide whether you play CL, Europa league or finish as an also ran, 38 games decide that
Richie-Yeah I know mate…that’s kind of the point I was making, that Champions League really was very far fetched-people look at it as -same games, same potential for points, but really we were always in a much harder position. I said weeks back we’d need Arsenal to implode and Chelsea to become heavy legged because Spurs would get enough to scrape over the line imo. Well Arsenal have done decently and are now kind of uncatchable, Chelsea have gained massive confidence, Spurs are clicking a bit and we have the toughest of the fixtures.
Unfortunately people bought into the hype, as exciting as it was, and our team bought into the hype, and as a result we got taught a lesson at Wigan
Happy with 6th to be honest. Think we will play better at Chelsea but can’t see us getting any kind of resullt with Torres back in form not to mention Sturridge who caused us a lot of problems at SJP. Having said all that this is Newcastle so anything is possible
Def think we need 2 bring in Pieters in the summer along with a good center half, play santon at right back and put williamson on a free transfer, if tiote goes we should sign diame and try 2 get james mc carthy from wigan
Newkie….aye, whatever happens now it’s been a hell of a ride…..although hard to judge Spurs and Chelski off today because I thought QPR’s and Rovers performances were 2 of the worst I’ve seen this season, Blackburn didn’t even attempt to get a draw from their game never mind a win, absolute disgrace.
Aye Richie, total disgrace from Blackbum. Zero shots on or off target in 93 mins. wtf
According to there soon to be sacked manager, there game plan was to frustrate spuds and then have a go at them. Unfortunately they did neither.
Contemptable football of the highest order. No fans deserve to see that, especially with the exhorbitant tkt prices/travel cost etc.
Bang out of order from a clueless ‘manager/coach’.
And qpr weren’t much better.
BB…aye I’m no lover of Blackburn but the least their fans deserve for supporting a shit club is to see them try and at least try and get something from the game, if you need a win to survive you don’t take off your best striker(unless he was injured) mind that’s not the first time I’ve seen Rovers make no attempt to take owt from a game this season. The players and manager should refund the fans who went down there.
“the least their fans deserve for supporting a shit club is to see them try and at least try and get something from the game,”
Yeah I fecking hate blackburn. They can rot in the CC along with West Spam and Nobby and Fat Sam, hate the bunch o them!
Newkie…it’s a canny away day though, as is Bolton and Wigan so it would be a shame to lose any from that point of view especially to be replaced by Southampton and Reading!
