Newcastle 1 - 1 Benfica - 11/04/13 (2 - 4 on agg) - post-match reaction from p60


Recommended Posts

Enjoyed tonight. Strangely satisfied with losing - felt we went for it and just couldn't do it. Good luck Benfica, hope they win it. One of the biggest away crowds from Europe I've seen here, put some PL ones to shame. :thup:  (Also, I like the flares)

 

And europe's great man, can't be arsed with the shit the Europa gets. It's flawed, but I love being in it, it's really something special from the PL.

Having just read the last 10 pages or so, I must say I'm surprised by the reaction to our performance. I thought we tried hard for all the 2nd half, we just couldn't get past them for a while. Ben Arfa & Marveaux changed the game. Was really happy when we went for 2 up front, made us MUCH more threatening. I just think we're so predictable and fruitless when its Cisse on his own.

Enjoyed the European ride with NUFC.  I thought the spontaneous applause after Benfica goal tonight was a moment of true class.

 

This is true, had a lump in my throat.

 

:thup:

 

Absolutely great moment.

FAO Benfica fans:

 

Who is the old man with dyed long black hair and a dyed long beard who is one of your supporters? He was sitting near me and was treated like a celebrity with photos being taken with him constantly

Barbas. He owns a restaurant very famous among the club and players, and supports the team everywhere we go.

I agree, the whole stadium stood up and starting singing.....while the players slowly walked back to the halfway line with there heads dropped, you could tell they were totally gutted.....Hopefully it picked them up for the weekend!

Think it was just appreciation for the effort as much as anything, a nice little slice of defiance in the face of yet another disappointment.

 

Sounds corny but I hope some of the players had a look around during those few seconds and appreciated where they're playing their football.

That moment and the second half I was absolutely proud to be a Newcastle fan, atmosphere was spot, couldn't ask for me where I was. Pro us & at last no mackem songs, superb. Constant noise for the last 20 mins which got louder when they scored.

 

It's total glorious failure but it has to be done.

Absolutely unreal atmosphere at times tonight. The Gallowgate was bouncing. I was shaking at times it was that intense. With a full strength team out I think we beat these over two legs. Fair play to them though. Props to Williamson for a solid performance too.

Atmosphere in the stadium was electric at times tonight, I'm just gutted we didn't get the all important goal. Cisse was so unlucky, I've nearly lost my voice

 

So tired now and still annoyed but I can't wait for the mackems game

I applauded them but we were too shit for too long abd the game plan was so fucking negative. Basically, win late because we're scared of them scoring. We should have battered them earlier and scared the shit out of them. Annoyed more than proud. Underdog bullshit.

Thanks for the respect in both games!

 

I hope that we can play again when you return to the CL. I already say that but I'll repeat. Newcastle is my UK team and I hope that you can back quickly to the good old days.
