The 250 soon became 260, as we wasted chance after chance after chance.
Can anyone believe how a Premiership club can take so many corner kicks and not score?
I'd put Fenham Under-10's on St James' Park pitch against a Premiership team, and the laws of averages would say they would score at least ONCE from 260 corners.
The last time we scored from a corner was Demba Ba's goal against Wolves in 2011.
So WHY do we watch Newcastle play the same ball in - to the same players - with NO strategy, no system ... no idea!
Alan Pardew: “The chances were almost zero (of United scoring from a set-play).
“I said before the game we should be doing things shorter and quicker.
I thought we were slow in doing that in the first-half.
“We took some quick free-kicks. That is really how you expect to score against Stoke.
“If you’re the goalie, and you have 6ft plus players protecting you, you’d come out and collect them."
