Newcastle Utd (H) Post Match Thread

As a Toon fan I " probably " speak for a lot of Toon fans. All we want is to get to a position where can play you and be competitive. Our games are uncompetitive and we have no chance of winning. IF we can buy quality - four or five quality players - over the next couple of transfer windows then maybe we can give you a game. Not going to mention your spending power because it's been done to death and frankly boring none the less, at least our owners can enable us to compete. Your football is fantastic to watch, and for many of us watching it's not jealousy, I for one think your great to watch, but even for you guys there is only 5 or 6 teams who can give you a game, we hope to be one of them
Enjoy the ride. There'll be heaps of negativity and disappointment along the way, but make the most of the journey.
 
Oh dear indeed! Not very bright are they?
Most objective, rational City fans (maybe a little begrudgingly at times it has to be said) do accept that Liverpool in the 70s/80s and United in the 90s had some very good sides.
It really is more a case of fans of the Redshirts not accepting that at times over the last decade or so we have been every bit as good of those sides!
This person has probably never been anywhere near Anfield. The comment about the Sky hype machine( or the Liverpool/United 'love in' Channel as it really is) surely has to be an ironic comment!?
Finishing with 90 plus points regularly mean we have been far better than all these sides, and I include the invincibles in that.
 
They can.

There was a game in Germany where both teams had gone to their dressing rooms for half time and VAR decided there should be a penalty and they were brought out again for the penalty to be taken before going back in for half time.
I think people are missing the obvious dig.
Didn't VAR award the rags a penalty at Brighton (?) after the players had left the pitch for full time? Early last season I think and it gained them another two points.
The fucking rags getting another favour, not some obscure game in Germany.

The players were still on the pitch.

There was a blatant handball 5 seconds before the final whistle was blown.

Are you suggesting VAR cant be consulted in the last minute of stoppage time?
 
Awesome win looked like a comfortable 3-0 win but stepped it up last 5 to score a couple more. Goal difference wise not enough if last game we are 4/5+ goal better of ain’t enough needs to be 8+ so goal difference won’t come into it.
Not sure I've understood you correctly, but if we win our last 3 then goal difference won't matter at all.

No. I thought I'd read the players were off the pitch and were called back, in which case they shouldn't have been allowed to leave if VAR was having a look.

I get that, but the system is a joke. The final whistle is either the final whistle or it isn't.

Incidentally I remember a CL game where we "won" a last second penalty but it wasn't given because the ref blew for full time. Ref said afterwards he would have given it "but there was no time", but It was determined afterwards by those who know the rules better than I do that because the penalty incident occurred before the whistle had blown, it should have been given. If I'm not mistaken that would have given us a draw which would have been enough to progress. Can't remember the exact match or circumstances though.
 
I liken Zinchenko to a pop up toaster.
I have had my toaster for about 10 years and it has never ever let me down.
Bread goes in, toast comes out every fucking time, thats Zinchenko for you, as reliable as my toaster.
Do you keep it in a cupboard?

The final whistle was blown as time had run out. The referee didn’t know at that stage that he’d missed a handball. I don’t really see the issue with it.

I don’t remember the penalty not being given in the CL. If what you suggest is true, then the referee has made a mistake.
 
That would be great but I do not think it is true!
Not correct. If they lose on Tuesday they would still be 3 points behind with 2 more to play. We still have 3 to play but could lose all 3, in which case if they won their last 2 (or even one of them and rack up the goal difference), they win the title.
 
Absolutely phenomenal performance after the heartbreak of Madrid. The players has that look about them that they wouldn't let this slip, and went about it professionally & did what was needed with the bonus of a couple of late goals to boost our goal difference.

The last goal from Sterling was a cracker. Can see Jack's confidence growing the longer the season goes. Think he'll be immense for us next season.

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

Keep pushing lads, the finish line is right there.
