That really was a game that we never got into top gear. Jesus far better on the wing than down the middle. Now come on spuds and do us a favour, although if they do, all we will hear about is covid.

You don’t have to be in control of the ball for it to be a penalty. The ball doesn’t even need to be anywhere near the incident

Fair point. But looking at it several times, it looks very, very much as though the Newcastle player had ample time to just jump over Ederson's legs. It's not exactly what I call cleaning someone out. I suspect that it was judged on that. It's a tough call, and I've seen them given. But I don't think it's that outrageous.
Would have won anyway, so this is an angels on the head of a pin argument, in my opinion.

People were ready to hand the title to Chelsea not so long ago and now they're six points behind (and not because of Covid). When will they ever learn?

I need to go to the loo. Haven’t taken a shit because of the game.

Expect ‘True Geordie’ to slide into your DMs any time now

4-0 win playing at 40% max.

Even after all this success year in year out I’m still slightly amazed and find it so so enjoyable that we can go to an away ground and just stroll around in total control of the game for almost the full 90mins.

What a team !

Don't get used to this, it's not normal. From a Barça fan.

This sort of form Cancelo'll be ever present in Portugal's setup just like Carvajal or Azpilicueta for Spain.

Delighted with the 3 points. Although we were 2-0 up in the first half it was incredibly frustrating we were very sloppy given the ball away cheaply and making the wrong decisions. Second half we took more control of the game and let the ball do the work. Newcastle weren't going to keep up that tempo for 90 minutes. Cancelo was magnificent again along with Bernardo Silva.
