Worst excuse of all time

Pochettino wrote: Pochettino insisted he was only seeking the "same treatment" as other clubs.

"We don't want to be judged by the young, handsome players that we have. We don't want to be judged in that sense," he said.

"We want to be judged in the same manner, being judged by the same rigour, in the same way that all other clubs are. We just want it to be fair, basically."

We touched the ball three times in their penalty area

Defensively we did not put in a bad performance, offensively we know we have to improve, but we had some key players missing today and hopefully when we play Fulham one or two will be back.

We seemed to drop down a gear today.

In the end there were too many opportunities for Hull, we have to tighten up, and find the consistency of performance that we are searching for.

Not quite..... there's a pardew excuses thread on a newcastle forum.

Ones that include clubs are spying on us so we are boarding up the training ground, Senegal making us lose, Nigeria being against us and Notting Hill Carnival made us lose.

Striker Papiss Cisse was also absent from the squad after the Senegal Football Association threatened to invoke a Fifa ruling that would see the player suspended if he featured in the game.

The governing body failed to receive the appropriate medical records from Newcastle following his absence from international duty due to injury and Pardew admitted the uncertainty over Cisse's availability affected his preparation for the game.

"We kept being promised that the decision would be overturned and that Senegal were going to let Papiss play," Pardew told reporters in his post-match press conference.

"We kept waiting and waiting and it was about 1.40pm when we finally found out that wouldn't happen.

"So it did affect our preparation and him missing today was a blow to us. We didn't do anything wrong and he should have played its all Senegal FA's fault we lost today".
