Crystal Palace 1-1 Newcastle

&c

Newcastle snatched disappointment from the jaws of unexpected victory in the 94th minute of a godawful game of football at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

In the words of one observer, if Newcastle had bothered turning up they would have been beaten.

Instead, a whole game of football passed against a team firmly towards the bottom of the pile without Newcastle mustering a single shot on target - and only one attempt at all.

That is a disgraceful state of affairs, and a solution must be found immediately.

The fact that we had nine corners feeds into the utter disbelief of a single shot in the vague direction of goal.

Only Liverpool at home next.

Normally I'd say that it's the kind of fixture that would suit us - they aren't going to let us have the ball - but 0 shots on target is not normal.

Have a bloody pop lads.
