Bodega went completely silent for his post match interview

I love Rafa, me

Good luck to everyone that's playing. Might get involved the next one yous do.

Before the 6-0 in the cup there was a Preston fan in the Bodega singing "we're gonna win the cup".

FYP

That Fulham penalty

Shame it's associated with the S*n but still funny

3-0. Cole Gayle or Joselu hattrick in the first 30 minutes.

Wisdom from Merson ahead of this game. Let's have a closer look at this. He's obviously either not watched us this season once, trying to perpetuate the myth about Newcastle fans that "wa luv and wa damand attakin futbal lyk". Or both. We coped just fine vs Spurs before the red card, and that's how we'll approach this. Also funny how he said before we played Brighton that the amount of points we have right now is what we should've had given our start in terms of fixtures, despite the fact he's predicted us so far to draw 2 games and lose all the rest. Relentless cokehead mong.

The Liverpool fans group Spirit of Shankly made a good statement on this. http://www.spiritofshankly.com/news/christmas-eve-football

The top 6 are cunts.

Good. Absolute state of the Brighton fans defending it.

2 off Man Utd 4 off Liverpool 6 off Spurs 1 off Man City

What a fucking finish from Bale. (Having to watch in SD again )

Fingers crossed it's something to do with a takeover. Not holding my breath though.

Here is the Times article. Would've fully believed it if it was Caulkin, but he's currently on holiday: https://twitter.com/CaulkinTheTimes/status/912602980691709952 Here's the article: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/newcastle-want-new-deal-for-rafa-benitez-hg9vglqds

Keith Bishop PR masterclass, then.

Don't think "shoved" is the right word tbh. He hasn't played many minutes and he's getting some under his belt tonight. Would like to see him involved on Sunday in some capacity tbh, likes a goal vs Liverpool.

They were the pits as well, we were actually somehow even worse than the scorelines suggest. We do pick up the odd good result in this fixture though. Seem to remember that Given was actually MOTM for that 1-5 match as well... then he put a transfer request in afterwards. I was at that game and he was furious, proper Peter Kay hoofed it after one of the goals iirc. Could honestly have been 12 or 13-1, lots of clear chances squandered by them. Think he got booked for that n all, IIRC. My dad seems to remember the 0-3 under Allardyce more clearly than the 1-5. Guess they were similar sorts of performances, mind. Can't remember much of them myself, but do remember in the 0-3 where the camera cut to a side shot of Allardyce with fans beside the dugout giving him dogs abuse.

Don't even know what I'm looking at here, apart from a load of moaning pricks - who the f*** is Westy? This is Westy. Kill it with fire before it breeds.

Did Rafa really want this lad? Seems odd that we spent £12m on him but hardly ever play him.

They were the pits as well, we were actually somehow even worse than the scorelines suggest. We do pick up the odd good result in this fixture though. The 0-6 was genuinely one of the worst footballing performances I've seen at any level. So, so bad. That attempt at an offside trap, man. And aye, think we can nick a point. We tend to do alright against them at SJP, it's at Anfield where we struggle. Anyhow, Rafa will sort it. Heard the GF have a massive display planned, be looking forward to that. My dad is planning on ringing in sick to work so he can go to this, hopefully he isn't hoping he was at work at 6:15pm on Sunday.

Liverpool's last 2 wins here? 0-6 and 1-5.
