  1. Disappointing like. So frustrating. Thought we were better tonight in parts than the home leg. That Joelinton chance was a sitter, you have to, have to take chances like that at this level. The second goal was absolutely criminal at any level too. Thought aside from the PSG game, we've not looked good in any of our CL games. I think we're struggling with the slower tempo of CL football. Its more technical and less frantic than the PL. I think some players havent adapted yet and it hasnt suited them. Joelinton, Willock and Longstaff have been brilliant in the frantic pace of the PL, but have looked technically off it in the CL. Tonali may have been better suited in these games, certainly looked better against Milan and PSG than he has in the PL. I think we really miss Isak too, he's a focal point and holds the ball up well. Wilson in both legs barely layed a glove on their centre halves, Isak would have caused more problems. Anyway, the most important thing is that Howe and the lads learn from this. I think qualifying is gone now, but Europa league isnt out of sight.
  2. Just fuckin head the ball into the net man
  3. Livramento at right wing doesn't work like. Clearly looks like a right back who isn't sure how to play there
  4. Doctor Zaius

    Dan Burn

    Beyond a joke now these injuries, but at least we have Hall and Tripper who can play there
  5. Looking forward to this. Dont think there's a great deal of pressure on us as the CL is a bit of a free hit this year. The only things I worry about here is a lack of prep time. We'll have been focusing on Arsenal so much that we'll barely have had a chance to prepare for Dortmund. Had this been a week away or even Wednesday night I'd fancy us more. Think we'll draw. A draw leaves them in a decent enough position but they'll still be well aware that they need to beat either PSG at home or go to Milan and win to go through or rely on us to not win either of our last two games.
  6. England U16 and U17 manager for about 5 years. Will have already worked with some of the current squad, and won the U17 World Cup with a few of them I think. Think he'd be perfect for it if he fancied it
  7. Cooper has done some job at Forest. Next England manager after Southgate hopefully.
  8. Having watched it back several times I reckon: Havertz tackle is a red. Bruno's is a yellow, the ball didn't go out of play, it's probably a foul, it might be offside but I don't fully understand why. On the balance of probability, I don't think it should have stood. Either way though, every single one of those points is debatable. None of them properly clear cut and it's never going to be 100%. You're relying on people's interpretation of the events and that's always going to differ. What needs to be in question is why Artetas his team managed one shot on target and not a single clear cut chance. We know this though and he knows this but it's clearly better for him to deflect and have a fit about the referee.
  9. What a fucking team we are. I don't think I'll ever see a Newcastle team I adore more. The effort, the commitment, the buying into Newcastle United and what we are from this group of players is unreal. Absolutely every one of them fights for the badge, the club and the fans. They're probably not the most talented squad we've ever had, nor will they be going forward but fuck me could you ask anything more? Brilliant result l and thoroughly deserved. Arsenal barely had a clear cut chance.
  10. When did we sign him? July? If he hasnt been betting over here, it sounds like he's been made aware of the investigation and still signed for us. If he has been betting over here then he might well face further punishment from the FA. This is terrible news
  11. Taking the club captain and best player of a PL team and then loaning him to another PL team within 6 months is different to moving players between a multi club model like. Watford and Udinese aren't right, but there's it's nowhere near the scale of us taking Neves.
  12. I hope we dont sign Neves like. Thats far too on the nose like and its really difficult to defend it as not blatant cheating. Its nothing like Udinese/Granada/Watford or Man City and NYFC
  13. Steve McClaren still on their bench? No wonder they're fucking shite if hes got anything to do with proceedings. Useless, dithery cunt that he is.
  14. Think we've got a better chance against Liverpool over two legs than a final.
  15. Joke that like. There's no chance I can get to an away now, because nobody passes on their ticket. I can understand the complaints of those stuck on 0/1/5 points who couldnt get tickets, but this sort of shit is fucking shite. Waste of a ticket, stick the prick in the home end.
  16. Magnificent result like. We had so much energy compared to them. Really happy for the lads that havent played much. Livramento was so, so good like. They were pathetic to a man. That Hannibal was laughably poor but the likes of Mount, Maguire and Martial were wank. Antony wont be there when that bald gimp gets peddled, he's crap. The fact that Diego Dalot, who must be one of the worst defensive full backs in the league has played over 100 times for them is an indictment of the state of that club. Long may it continue.
