A comfortable game, another clean sheet, and we never really had to leave second gear. Real shame that Joelinton pulled up. Gordon is a nightmare for defenders, the way he gets to the ball with his pace and makes them commit to the foul 3 pens from that now. Shame he misses West Ham. We need to show more composure on the ball, a lot of our players seem too rushed on it and end up turning it over. Bruno looks far more like his old self recently which is a big boost.

Spot on, I’ll add that it’s very hard to have moral superiority when as part of the points they make they refer to Saudi Arabians as “camel humpers” and other racist phrases. I find they now just have meshed all of their half brained research into a go to set of phrases, such as “beheading people”, “throwing people off buildings”, the 9/11 stuff, and similar where it may have at one point been based on something but they’re that lazy about making they’re point they are now just feigning anger at the notion of general things that happened rather than be specific, which itself comes across as troubling. They’re taking legitimate concerns and boiling them down to point score.

I’m honestly curious what difference they think it would make if Howe constantly brought it up? Maybe when they’re meeting Al Rummayyan to go over budget or whatever else Howe can include a few slides to first acknowledge and go over the bad things the country where Al Rummayyan is from does, then they can switch gears back to football matters? It seems they’d be happy if Howe was to equate the chopping down of a tree to mass executions? They’d have no qualms that it was maybe, even just slightly, belittling the execution/murder issue? You know in a similar way that they’re using horrific events to try and point score over a local football rival.

If they’re the only ones watching the coverage should be non-stop Newcastle seeing as it’s all the fuckers care about.

He’s too concerned with making sure he’s seen to be concerned about Saudi Arabian ownership to add anything remotely interesting. Not saying he shouldn’t ever bring it up, or highlight/discuss it, but even when the others are discussing football he’s still negative as you say. Not that I’ve ever particularly had much time for him tbh.

Interesting especially given we had statistically the hardest start to the league by a decent margin.

Apparently if he had scored it was a handball, but if he assists it has to be an intentional handball. The one thing for the handball for me is their fans keep saying it kept the ball in play, but from what I remember it was actually a hinderance to him as he’d kept it in but it hit his hand and started going back out before he took his next touch.
-
The pen decisions I can accept some level of debate, although for me they’re both pens, but what I find fucking mental is the Sheffield United fans are pretty much all adamant the horrendous tackle on Longstaff wasn’t a foul . Yells of “proper tackle that” “nuffun wrong with that lad, if tha’ a foul t’game is gone”, mental for me, it was a fucking horrible challenge where the player absolutely intended to “leave one on him” they can fuck right off.

Agreed, if he could be more clinical with his shooting he’d bring a lot of goals to the table as some of his runs and positioning yield really good chances.
-
I know they’re whinging about saying it was a handball by Gordon for the first (not by the rules but never mind) but what’s the issue with the other two? Also no mention of the two pens and two red cards the ref should have given? I need to see it again but I’m fairly sure Hamer needlessly elbowed Longstaff at one point too which was borderline and went ignored.

Generic small time football blather thread FOREVER
Howay replied to Sonatine's topic in Newcastle Forum
Chelsea v Villa looked a fucking brutal game on paper, and ended up being so who the fuck was hoping to watch that like? I know this will shock them but many people (me included) have fucking no real desire to watch Liverpool more than watch any other side, stupid arrogant cunts. -
I’d also argue 8-0 is a more impressive result than 9-1 in all same difference in goals but we kept a clean sheet.

Does that Jack Ford remember that game eh?
