BlackandWhite

I can only imagine the meltdown on there if it were to go through. They’ll need a lifetime supply of Kleenex each for all the salty tears.

Michael Owen will always stick out for me. The fact he was injured so much, and he deliberately gave fuck all effort in our most desperate hours. All because he was afraid of an injury costing him his next move. The fucker was on 100k a week and didn’t even try for us in the relegation fight our of pure selfishness. Joelinton is shite, but at least he puts some effort in. There’s no malice to his shiteness.

Steve Harper Forever a poor man’s Shay Given. I still remember the dead look of regret in his face when he signed for Sunderland.

You see those kind of ‘tactical fouls’ regularly. Maybe not as extreme as pulling them by the collar. By the letter of the law, the referee has done the right thing. Whether you agree with the LOTG or not, and think that it should be considered serious foul play is up to you. Jorginho’s tackle is much more of a red card. Under today’s standards many referees would consider it serious foul play. He was a lucky boy, and I do believe the fact he rolled around afterwards had a say. It maybe made the referee think it wasn’t as bad because both players seemingly got hurt at first. Then VAR comes into the debate and whether it’s a clear and obvious error, etc. I am gutted for all you natural Geordies on here. A decisive penalty shoot out in a match like that is never something I want to have a stake in; it is the most heartbreaking way to lose. The fact that is adds to the long list of nearly moments even more gutting. However, there is much hope for the future. I believe we should start getting us to England going far in competitions from now on, possibly even winning one eventually. The youth teams have done well recently and we’re starting to see the first signs of it transitioning to the senior team. I hope by now the feelings have reconciled and you feel more hope than devastation.

Brilliant. That’s what happens when you’re proper determined and refuse to give up despite set back after set back. So many lost finals, but they’re all history now. No more “He never won anything for his country” nonsense. Great to see.

Tomorrow night is the night. I bet it feels like Christmas Eve as kid for a lot of you. Personally, I believe the stars have alligned for England. Some things are meant to be. England winning their first euros 1966 world cup style at Wembley is just meant to be. Enjoy it, lads. Milk it, let it all sink in. Do spare a thought for unlucky cunts like me who live in a nation that ain't got a hope of glory and support Newcastle, too. Unless the takeover happens we’ll never get a night like tomorrow. England 2-1 Italy.

I personally don’t get the non-English cheering England to lose. I am non-Englsih, but couldn’t care what way Sunday goes. If England do win, I can at least be happy for my fellow Newcastle fans who are English. The biggest excuse is hear is ‘oh the English are arrogant, and we’ll never hear the end of them winning it’. Even if it’s true that the English Media won’t stop gloating; you can choose to avoid English Media. I really don’t get it. It seems a bit sad.

I haven’t a clue what level/grading system they use in England, but where I am it’d be equal to being able to do maybe just below National League North/South. So I am currently at the upper tier of the amateur game, lower tier of semi-pro. As we all know, though, the laws of the game are the same at every level. Different referees have even got different opinions/interpretations, too. Another ref might come along and disagree with me. There is a case to give a penalty, but the way the players gone down and the amount of contact leaves me unconvinced.

Looking at it as a neutral and as a ref myself; I believe it is 100% a soft penalty. Sterling was 100% looking for it, and he was already on his way down before any slight contact. However, you really can’t begrude England the win. It was 100% deserved. Denmark didn’t have the gas in the tank to give them a game for more than 60 minutes. Sunday is going to be an interesting day. If nothing else, I would be happy for all you natural geordies.

We already are hated by southerners. Only not as loudly in the last 10+ years thanks to Ashley fucking the club up.

mCgEady wAs sETTing thEm aLl uP on a PlaTe fOr Him anYwaY, MARRa.

He is not leaving until we win something. I guess the case against the EPL will have to do for the qualification of that :D.

Well, Messi was an obvious exaggeration by me, but having missed 15 games he still finished as the league’ top assit provider last year. If he stays fit and isn’t frozen out of the team again; he could be the difference between either making the play offs or not. Maybe more depending on what or players they do end up signing. I was hoping he wouldn’t sign.

Signing McGeady on for another year is huge for them. He may be 36 next year, but that league is still so bad, that he plays like Messi in it.

Well, we are all different individuals with different creteria of what’s boring or not, so I am not going to argue. I am happy for you and the English supporters of Nufc on here, though. As a Newcastle fans, this concept of supporting a team that might actually win something is a pipe dream. Well, now with this England team, there’s a real chance of you tasting glory. And it will feel every bit as good as Newcastle winning a cup. Regardless of opinions, it is an exciting time for english fans right now.

As a neutral, it was boring to watch in my opinion. I get why you won’t see it that way. It’s amazing how having any kind of stake in a game makes it 100x more interesting by default.

I mean questions seriously need asking if the final is not reached from here. Could not have realisticly asked for a easier road post-last 16. They are actually going tp win it. Southgate is going to be knighted after. Que the it’s coming home memes.

If I understand correctly, all Derby have to do is appeal the decision, and it will drag on for at least a few more months. Therefore, it is likely to be this coming season when they are deducted. So no Derby games for them in any sense yet.

Well, at least there will be no Southgate wankfest in the media for the next few days. I got tired of that last week.

England will up the anti in the second half, though. Scotts deserve credit for having a go, but I think the second half is where the gulf in quality will begin to show more.

Reminds me of when Muamba collapsed on the pitch during a Spurs v Bolton FA Cup match. Thankfully, he was okay after, and it’s looking good for this to be too,

Morecambe will be playing the mackems next year. It has to to be the worst referee performance I’ve seen in a playoff final, though. Newport had a clear penalty denied first half, and the pen Morecambe got is soft at best. More like the player threw himself to the ground, though. Bobby Madley should never been allowed back in the professional game.

More stupid ideas inspired by greed. UEFA are not much better than the ‘Super’ Clubs who tried to take their money.

Sheffield Wednesday are 100% a bigger club than these mugs. They’ll be the biggest club down there next year. It may also never dawn on them that they are now an established league one club.

Bahahahahaha. Four years in tier three! My oh my. That’s a whole new level of shit.
