But I can support the team in the stadium and question the tactics, manager or whatever I want in conversation face to face or online. It is possible to do both those things.

You don't think today's result was on Jose. I agree with you. This does not make us better fans than those who think he could have done something differently.

I don't think everyone who disagrees with me as having a bias agenda. This attitude makes us not respect other people or their views. I don't want to be like that.

Listen to the point and judge if it is valid. Sometimes it isn't. Other times it is and you just disagree or see things differently.

It really doesn't matter.

I thought it was a good performance given the schedule we have

I agree. Disappointed not to finish the game off but a lot of improvement in our play and reasons to be positive.

Except for the rules, they are sucking the enjoyment out of the game.

We was robbed. Maybe Jose will realise that with this set of players we need to kill teams off before they get that kind of luck.

People talking about how our levels dropped and we sat back in the 2nd half clearly are not realising that we were still in complete control of the match and Newcastle couldn't get anywhere near our goal or pin us back, everything we did was with a purpose - the game management was spot on especially in relation to our up and coming schedule.

1. I never complained about the first half, I actually think it’s the best half we’ve played under Jose

2. The game isn’t over, you can’t think about the upcoming games when this important game isn’t over. We looked lethargic, I heard the coaching staff scream keep the ball 100 times instead of trying to score another and kill the game. The squad we have is far to good to play like that, even the players that came on. And we was arrogant thinking Newcastle won’t score so we can just keep playing like this
I just dont know what u are on about. To complain about tactics after a match we dominated from start to finish is bizarre. Lethargic, i disagree we were full of energy for the first time in a long time. We were pressing constantly and always pushing for a second.

We were just comically unlucky, with the posts we hit, losing son at ht and the baffling handball rule.

I wonder if someone got to Jose and told him not to talk about the penalty. What happened must have made his blood boil.

Can't see how Jose is being blamed for today by some (one). Kane had more shots than the entire NUFC team, their keeper played a blinder, and that was probably the most threatening we've looked under Jose. Done by a keeper having a worldie and incompetent refs/laws.

But for their goalkeeper playing a blinder and the authorities yet again conspiring to screw us, we’d be praising mourinho right now for having us play attractive, low block breaking, creative attacking football today.

Weird how things can be interpreted differently. He said that now he knows the difference between the really big clubs and the likes of us and I felt that was a comment about our inability to sign the options he needs, like the striker (which would mean he could rest Kane/Sonny)

It was in direct response to Son's injury question by bringing up the fixture list - seemed to me like he thinks we got a raw deal and other clubs would be getting help.

Authorities in this country have had it in for us ever since were embarrassed them in 94 to have our points deduction reduced and place in the FA cup reinstated. If only we’d win it that year to really make them look like the pen pushing losers they are. Not convinced we’ve been dealt with impartially since in any respect, including by the men in black on the pitch.

Ignore him mate, he’s done what that other fella did when Woolwich won the FACup...he’s lost it for a moment, and made himself look like a willy.
Although at least that other bloke realised and admitted it, rather than doubling down on the nonsense.

I honestly think this may be the best thing to happen to us. The first really good performance and then robbed of points in the end. I think this will light a fire under the team and management and develop this siege mentality that will bring the team closer. Interesting to see Jose say how happy he is here and how he hopes to be here for a long time as well.

I really hope he's now telling the players to kick the ball at the opponents arms when in their box, it's time to be for us to be intelligent ****s.

His BBC interview was very revealing as well. He said he has managed 3 prem teams now but Spurs are not respected. Reading between the lines I take it he means we never get the decisions. He actually seemed very confused by it all. And I thought we were just being paranoid about always being ripped off ;)

Let's not forget that the free kick leading to the laughable hand ball was a ridiculous decision too. Joelinton miss-placed his pass and then made a beeline for Hojbjerg some metres away. Standard of refereeing and the rules should be the focus of outrage
