Newcastle United (A) - Post-Match Thread

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Who was that welsh twit who was comms on a game we played in and he called eddie emerson all of the way through ? it became a joke but died off

Was it Hartson?

Edit: didn’t see the post above!

I’m still gobsmacked at the linesman trying to flag the third as offside.

just seen on sky football show quote " VAR decided he was on side " first time hearing this he's either on off or sky hoped for something different

Someone told me earlier today that yesterday was the dippers first sending off in over 2 years, is that true? Explains why Milner wasn’t sent off 3 times in the game thus season

Apparently so. I don't remember the same outrage from the pundits when Milner didn't see red, do you? Funnily enough Klopp didn't have any issue with the ref that day either.

We’ll be matching that with penalties awarded soon

Singing "is this the Etihad?" when people started to leave early is objectively fucking funny.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

The fact the Newcastle player initiated the contact with Ederson,because he knew the ball had long gone,along with any goal scoring opportunity,matters not?

Don’t think so. I do know I’d have been gutted had it been at the other end though.

 

[M12Blue]

Enjoyed that. First game I've been to in 2 years, so it's good to be back!

Thought Rodri, Cancelo and Ruben were great, some others not at their best, but quite easily good enough beat Newcastle. In the first half, I thought their midfield kept us away from the "last third" quite well, but when they changed formation, it played into our hands for the second half.

As for the "penalty", I think we'd have moaned about not getting it, but really, I can't understand why nobody is actually asking why it wasn't a foul *on* Ederson. The ball was long gone, Ederson was on the floor and the Newcastle player basically ran into him feet first. It's as much a foul on Eddie as it is a penalty.

Agree not a penalty, Fraser also looking to get Cancelo booked, after he initiated contact with an elbow to cancelo chest, then ending up in the hoarding.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Top day out....


Oh the weather outside is frightful,
And the blues are so delightful
City is the place to go,
Cancelo, Cancelo, Cancelo

Hope it catches on

Superfluous Liverpool in there?

Misprint. Meant Newcastle, should have written Newcastle, thinking about the Liverpool game!

Already has, about 90% of the stand were singing it(and the stairs)

Something that bugged me through the match:

Why do Newcastle have the number 4 on their shirt?

Haha ..... Thought the same! Great minds think alike. And so do ours.

'I'm dreaming of a Blue Christmas,
Just like the ones we used to know,
With the blue flag flying,
And scousers crying,
To see City win the league.
(And the Cup).'

 

[Chi-town blues]

So one of the player on bench yesterday must’ve been the one who went for a little tension release after leeds game? Reading between pep’s line.

 

[its grim up north]

Noticed that last night. Was it because of covid restrictions? If not then that was a piss poor turnout for a top game. And yes it won’t get a mention.

Somebody said there was a tube strike. But 42 500 managed to find a way to gthe ground. The scoundrel in me thinks the other 25,000 went all Spursy, used it as an excuse and said fuck it it's a bit chilly.

We are the best in excuses for our attendance so let’s give them the benefit of the doubt.

Could you imagine going to a game in the capital without the tube service.
I wouldn't know where to start.
