That was also a clear penalty but I knew when he didn't award us the first one it was going to be one of those nights.

ability attributes close continues earning germany gives goals kevin led main passion plane player regular score seat team top week
Kevin has led the team with passion and professionalism. Each week he gives you everything and he has the ability to be a top player for years to come. One of his main attributes is his ability to score goals on a regular basis. If he continues to progress, he'll go close to earning a seat on the plane to Germany in June.
favorite fingers given heard hope keeping looking officially though
He will be looking to clinch that position, but who knows? I haven't given up hope that it is going to me. It just does not look as though I am the favorite at the moment. I am still keeping my fingers crossed. I have not heard anything officially but we should know by the end of the week.

Within the space of one minute tonight we could have been 1-0 down,

There are a number of players that interest us and it would be foolish to name our targets.
chance chances difficult fancy goal major nick result storm weather win
We had a chance to win it at the end and 1-0 would have been a major result for us. As it is, it is going to be very difficult for us. If we can nick a goal I would fancy our chances but we will have to weather the storm for 15 to 20 minutes, as they did tonight.

littles managers fellows
What I expect is a little more respect from a fellow manager.
game gifted sides
We gifted the game to Newcastle, really, with not much between the two sides in the first half. They capitalized on what we should have done better with.
extremely finishing game good heavy last minutes paid price weekend
Where our finishing was very, very good last weekend it let us down tonight. We really should have put the game away in the first 90 minutes and we haven't done that and have paid a heavy price for it. We are extremely disappointed.
