Armchair Pundit

Was just thinking this, are we trying to hard to walk it into the net? Maybe ping in a few more long range shots, Onana being dodgy's got to be worth it.

Come on lads, get us a goal!

Jeez, it feels like I'm being impatient but wow, we could hammer this lot if we get it together in the last third

We get a goal against these wanks and the floodgates will open

Man, wish this was on Sky, I've not got TNT

The gulf in class and composure between idiots like Arteta/Klopp and our awesome Eddie really is truly astounding, wouldn't swap Eddie for the world: “We have asked for clarity, but the moment has gone, the decision has gone for us, but obviously, you're trying to help the game reach better decisions." "Let the referee make a more independent decision based on the screen and the image that he's seeing." Howe admits he would welcome an apology from UEFA. He added "I don't think it's meaningless. If there is an acknowledgement that there was a mistake, that this was why the mistake happened, I think that's a good thing for the game. "We all make mistakes. I don't think we can look at football as if we're robots. I make mistakes. The players make mistakes. Referees make mistakes. It's part of the game. If I make a mistake to a player or any situation, I'll always apologise and hold my hand up to that mistake. I think that's important." https://www.newcastleworld.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/uefa-respond-as-newcastle-united-lodge-complaint-over-psg-controversy-4430131

I wonder how many refs shirk the difficult calls on an initial basis, relying on VAR to stop play and call them over. It clearly wasn't a pen, but without a doubt the pressure from the home stadium and PSG players got to the ref.

And overrated

I'm not going to blame VAR for that, the ref shouldn't be giving it after the review. Still, it is what it is, games over now and 4pts from PSG in the Champs League isn't to be sniffed at. The deciding match for us, at home against Milan, makes that next game really exciting for us, just hope our injuries improve... or at the very least, don't get worse!

Yeeeehaaaaaaa! We've rattled em!

We wouldn't sell Murph would we? https://www.footballfancast.com/newcastle-news-may-lose-ultimate-professional-in-january-transfer-injury-crisis/

I take it going out of the Champions League no longer drops us into the Europa League? ... It won't matter though, Mbappe's running scared, we got this tonight

Loved old Terry Vegetables, Euro 96 has to be one of my all time favourites tournaments for a classic England team. RIP

Exactly, we said at the time that if watched in real time you can see quite clearly that it's not a foul and is in fact Gabriel fucking up. The most annoying thing for me since it happened is the amount of Arsenal fans making the claim of foul but only making that judgement based on stills, which look a complete different story.

Bit harsh having a crack at any of our lads really imo. I think the injuries are finally catching up with us, we're on our arse, so to expect much in terms of equal ability or following the usual strict tactics isn't really fair. It's not been great in terms of attack for that first half, but get a decent counter and we could nick it.

Has the Ange said how much of a disgrace it was and how ashamed he is yet?

Every posibility

Shit, I think my memory's going, I don't even remember that happening!!! Must be going senile in my old age.

Love a pun Yeah, I just checked, didn't realise Targett was injured as well, when did that happen?!

What have I missed? Don't tell me someone else has got injured...

We've got plenty of options at LB, be it Tripps, Targett, Hall or Dummett, it's no big issue imo. We're struggling more in other areas.

I guess the "Saudi's paying them off" accusation is always going to be the first port of call for any lazy supporters of other teams, it's nearly as pathetic as the actual tears these Arsenal wanks are spilling over a game that they had one shot on goal in and could easily have lost a player to a red card in the first half. I think what's annoyed me more though, as the weekend's gone on, is knowing that the ball being out and the offside were both inconclusive, they've all decided that the supposed foul by Joelinton is stonewall when all they've concentrated on is stills of the incident - yeah, from the stills he's got both hands on the back of Gabriel, but watch it in real time and it's clear that Gabriel drops a bollock in trying to head the ball, leaning too far forward, at best it's 50/50. Typical that the narrative gets twisted to suit the dickheads who don't like the truth.

Thought this for ages. I get that some managers want to cultivate a 'them against the world' mentality amongst their players and fans, but these two take it to the next level and it just looks pathetic from the outside. A decent manager accepts they can't do anything further about a loss, congratulates the other team on the win and works at making sure their team doesn't get into that position again in the future. Instead, Arteta and Klopp just make themselves look like whiny, entitled children, sore losers and divine-righters. For me, these arguments always come back to 'you make your own luck', if you're good enough, you win convincingly, if you're not good enough you have to accept the fine margins can go either way - and yes, I know that's easy to say when you're on the winning side, but it's true. All Arteta's done is make it obvious how mentally weak he is and how much he relies on help from the officials to win things.

Yeah, but he thinks his team have a god given right to 3pts every match

Pure gold - hope someone makes a meme of Arteta.
