Newcastle United (A) - Post-Match Thread

[StillBluessinceHydeRoad]

I think we were fortunate that a penalty was not awarded but I don't think the result depended on that decision. City were poor in the first half but didn't allow Newcastle a single shot on target and by half time we were two up. Newcastle have only scored two goals in 3 of their 18 PL and manage 3 only against Brentford. Now they needed two in a half against the meanest defence in the PL. The second half was rather better but City never really had to exert themselves at any time. Newcastle kept trying but were never in the game. A good win on a very good day for City.

Did what we needed to do and maintained our brilliant run while rivals fell back. Amazing how we’ve turned round goal difference in the last two games.

We’re in great shape.

Superfluous Liverpool in there?

Genuine question, I work with a Rag He's a complete moron (obviously)...Him along with many others say "No team should be winning the league with 100 points or winning 7-0, It's getting boring". Does anyone else have to listen to this horse shit?

Well the rags in their pomp were never capable in a 2 horse league of amassing 100pts ever so he is going to talk shite isn’t he.

The “disgraceful decision” was the BBC ever employing this boring git.

Good to hear an impartial opinion isnt it.

 

[2infinity&beyond]

Did you? All I can remember is you slagging off Raheem and KDB, the former relentlessly, tit

Def not KDB. Sterling definately. If he was a half decent striker he would have had 150 goals by now.

Was it a pen?

Wasn't it a pen?

Hang on folks... excuse me for a moment...

Just had a look at all the results in all my various apps and media reports and I can definitely assure you all, without a shadow of a doubt, that it was definitely NOT a pen.

It doesn’t mean it shouldn’t have been though.

Their ‘greatest team ever’ won the league with 78points

Got to say I could not foresee this run 6 games into the Season... Well done to Pep & the squad they seem to have found the desire again to push beyond the pack.

Probably a pen, but doesn't mean it would be scored anyway and we probably would have scored twice after that so its all bollocks......fuck em !

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Not bad not bad

So today was a pen then?

3 players were going for the ball. One came away with the ball cleanly. The other two collied as a result of trying to get the ball. How do we know that if Cancelo had not been there Eddy would not of dived on and smothered the ball. I would be inclined to accept a pen if the ball was loose but no way in the circumstances that occured.

More chance of Newcastle winning the PL than Spurs doing us a favour.

That aged well, Colin!

And now, an apt tune to put us in the festive spirit:

Exactly. We’d have brought Carson on to save it.

Had the misfortune to watch on sly. On the I button the description was something like '2 of the richest clubs in the world go head to head.'

Utterly pathetic even for those bitters.

Oh... please...

Simply saying it wasn’t a penalty means it shouldn’t have been one makes our ref watch thread pretty moot.

 

[The_Maverick]

Fraser had the opportunity to avoid the challenge but chose to change the angle of his run to ensure there was contact

Exactly this.

As the old saying goes he was looking for the contact.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Not our best but came away with an easy win. Happy days.

Especially with everyone else dropping points.

If we win the next 3 on the bounce we may build a decent gap by the middle of Jan.
