Newcastle Utd (H) Post Match Thread

[Vic]

Shame about Dias going down, but with three games left we have the cattle and three more to go now.

Are moo sure?

 

[coolcity]

You know if Richards was in Spittys shoes he would be gracious but that scouse rat is on the verge of a breakdown .......... how can Pep be classed as a failure with his trophy haul ??? Let’s see how many Klopp racks up in the same time ........ he thinks the CL is the be all and end all the mans nothing but a vile bitter rat and like I said before what was he even doing there today ??? Did he play for Newcastle ??? No he’s there to pander to a bunch of glory hunting rats

Well if he's basing it on CL wins, including the European Cup then Shankly, Dalgleish, Houllier, Evans etc. were all failures then.

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

Not sure I've understood you correctly, but if we win our last 3 then goal difference won't matter at all.

Having a better GD is the one thing they had to cling on to. Now thats been taken from them too.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Having just watched MOTD2 that final goal showed Jack Grealish being so unselfish I felt. He could have attempted that shot but just passed it on to Raz, what a guy.
Loved it.

 

[blue_Heaven]

Great win today got the added bonus of loads of goals feel today was the day we got the title

Liverpool dropping points is big all the next games a very winnable we beat them before wolves game im expecting more goals from city to add more to the goal difference

west ham game the same they should not bother us if we play at out best then aston villa big win again

the title is ours guys!

 

[youngbob]

Ederson 6/10 - can't think of anything he really had to do, which is a good sign

Cancelo 6/10 - still think he's dodgy on the right side but didn't do anything egregious today
Dias 6/10 - kept the ball alive for the 2nd goal, we're gonna miss him
Laporte 7/10 - took his goal well and kept Newcastle's forwards relatively quiet
Zinchenko 8/10 - used the ball well and looked dangerous when he came forward

Rodri 8/10 - easy to take him for granted these days
De Bruyne 9/10 - best player on the pitch today
Gundogan 7/10 - looked sharp early on, was happy to fade into the background later on

Sterling 9/10 - took his goals well and kept pushing Targett throughout
Jesus 6/10 - had better games very recently, was back to being a bit unlucky today
Grealish 8/10 - used the ball well and looked really dangerous in the last 20 mins

It’s amazing that the team with the world’s best keeper, centre half and front three have scored less and conceded more than us.

Harsh on Ederson. Saved a one on one.
Cancelo will always be a defensive liability, but makes up for that with goal contributions.
Gundogan deserves more than a 7 too, imho.
Grealish was poor for 70 mins and then ripped Trippier apart when he came on

 

[coolcity]

Why the f*** is Carragher even in the studio for this game? I have had to turn the sound off. An absolute moron of the highest order.

Carragher, Keane, Neville, Souness, doesn't matter which channel, whenever we're on there's always representations from scousers and rags.

 

[coolcity]

I think he did play into the ninety third minute which allowed our fifth. Liverpool's game in hand after next week will be Southampton and Ralph has previous for letting eights and nines in.

Just as well we won't need GD then.

 

[coolcity]

Liked it when In typical self-deprecating style, we stole their song and sang it back at them.
"Champions Leage and we fcked it up"

I'd have preferred "67 years and you've won fuck all...."

 

[SWP's back]

Nobody cares about beating City. They aren't a name, they aren't anything. One day people will realise they've killed the league from a competitive standpoint.
..............
Even Guardiolas celebrations seem forced
..............
The league is a Jurgen Klopp away from being the French league.
..............
It's hilarious watching Pep's transparent attempt to convince people that he has the same emotional conviction as Klopp. Bald fraud.
..............
Don't think anyone is allowed to say anything negative about these. The US stream with le saux was nauseating
..............
The most disgusting aspect of it all is how much the league and the media are complicit in the cheating and corruption.
...............

Ahahahahahahahaha.

It hurts them so very much.

 

[GrumpyLegacyFan]

Ok....just back home.

Well done you lovely Blue boys...just what the doctor ordered after events in Madrid. Lovely to see Jack starting to show his class, Rodri was fantastic and Zinchenko is just getting stronger and stronger.

So, I know its impossible to compare being in Madrid, a I was on Wednesday, and being at the top of the East Stand (block 303, row BB) - but fuck me... I was frankly appalled.

My ST is at the front of the CB Level3 - but wanted to take a mate today and could only get a pair of seats at the top of the East Stand. I will never do that again. We were surrounded by the biggest bunch of fucking tourists I have ever seen. We had three loud Newcastle fans behind us - who I confronted twice - it almost kicked off (and I am not a dickhead disposed to violence) - and at half time told a steward who frankly didn't give a flying fuck. My angry stares and 5-0 kept them in check for the second half.

But I was far more angry with the utterly pathetic 'City' fans around me - utter silence - some muted clapping for the goals and then fucking off - on-masse - at 79 mins. It was frankly embarrassing. Who the fuck are these people? I know there are loads of kids at the top of the East Stand - and I support getting them in early to become Blues - but my mate saw a whole row wearing a mix of Arsenal and West Ham shirts (???). I seriously felt like a stranger at my own football stadium. I just don't understand these people. Some were in colours, but didn't join a single song, didn't 'stand up for the Champions', clap a substitution or seem to be impressed by any of the 5 goals.

At one point - and I'm not proud about this - I stood up and shouted at the 4-5 rows in front to fuck off home and watch it on TV. I know not everyone gets involved like I do, and travels home and away. I know the argument (which I don't agree with - that they pay for the ticket and they have a right to just watch, in silence, the 70 mins of the game they appear to stay for and get the fuck home. But honestly - it's no wonder we have a problem at home with these people. Avoid the traffic and watch it on Telly. Hopefully it's only an issue with these seats right at the top - which I will never take again.

I'd love to hear from any other Blues who have seats here. I knew it wasn't going to be loud, but honestly, I was ashamed that the only noise came from the three drunk Geordies. What's shocking is that loads of kids will leave that game thinking a match day experience is loading up on tat at the Club Shop, getting to your seat 10 mins late, then heading in to get an overpriced pie 10 mins before half time, to get back to your seat after the second half has started to consume your food in silence before heading to the car park at 79 mins. Tragic.

Looked like a hammy

thats what Pep said in his presser

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Ahahahahahahahaha.

It hurts them so very much.

I sort of enjoy their hurt, long May (month end) it continue.

Username checks out.

One can nit pick and definitely bemoan that, as per, we didn't put the game to bed as early as we should have but all in all that was a well orchestrated win: got to 3-0 and then managed the game carefully until it was well and truly won and then went for the juggular and bagged another couple of goals.

Just got to manage their way through three more games without our three best defenders.

 

[Dave El Magico]

Great performance from the team today and it proves that they have the mental strength to overcome a big setback. I was amazed and indeed commented on the number of blues who put negative comments on the pre match thread such as ”have a bad feeling about this game“ and “think we might lose this one”. Well the players out there today proved you so wrong. Thought there was a good atmosphere and it sets us up nicely for the last 3 games.

 

[coolcity]

Ahahahahahahahaha.

It hurts them so very much.

This weekend will have hit them on so many levels, especially as their expectation was probably raised because of what happened to us on Wednesday and the media hype predicting our impending collapse.

- First they dropped points and knew they were lucky to get a draw.
- Then they go 3 points behind us with just 3 to play.
- Then they not only lose their GD advantage, but end up FOUR goals behind.
- But on top of all this they know that far from bottling it, we were the exact opposite and don't look like dropping a point, and to make matters worse they now need us to drop 3 points AND make up the GD.

Now they not only look like losing the title but the quad as well, so this weekend will be hurting them as much as Wednesday night hurt us - maybe even more, because they could end up with nothing but the Carabou while we win our 4th title in 5 years.

They're hurting this much because they somehow convinced themselves that despite us leading the league for the last 6 months straight, they were the favourites in the title race and got carried away with their quadruple talk.

You could see it in the media before the game. Carragher said "City are back in it now" after the Spurs game. Back in it? We never lost the lead. MOTD yesterday said "Liverpool slip up first"...so what were the first 34 games? That Premier League tweet last weekend "One step closer!" when actually City had gotten 1 step closer and Liverpool had lost a weekend to get ahead.
