Darth Crooks Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Just watched this after avoiding the result. What a team. Arsenal were very good but this is the best team ethic I've seen in a long time. Ayoze is a ledge. Shelvey has to be going on that plane and mo diame is 2/3 of the way to cementing his place in divine pantheon. No wonder Rafa is trending on twitter. Manager of the season for sure.

ujpest doza Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 My favourite thing about this match is that I thought ages ago that we'd beat them for the following reasons, but in the end the big reasons didn't really come into it at all, we were just better: (Reasons why I thought we'd beat Arsenal) • Having a shit away record this season. • Being bottlers historically. • Losing or drawing against relegation candidates historically. • Losing or drawing against relegation candidates this season - five times, that's right - WBA, Swansea, Southampton, West Ham, Bournemouth. •Them having nothing to play for in the league, being preoccupied with the Europa (their only chance of CL football). •Us playing well against them at the Emirates and it being close, us upping our game against bigger teams at home. •Our game being better suited against teams who actually try against us. •If push comes to shove and we need to win that match, I'd be more confident than I was about us beating Man United, and more confident than in a push comes to shove game at home to Huddersfield. In reality: •That was miles better than I've seen Arsenal play away this season. • Arsenal still have something to play for as Burnley are right behind them, meaning they need to ensure Europa league football for next season if they don't win it this season. • We didn't need to win the game in the way that we might have if we were in say Huddersfield's position yesterday. We won without Arsenal being poor and without the fire of relegation up our arses. We didn't need Arsenal to be shit- they were good, and we didn't need adversity- the desire and application was still there. I'm really impressed by that more than anything. I thought Arsenal were pretty good and it took us a while to get into the game as in the 1st half they seemed to want it a bit more than we did. Once we woke up and equalized we played very well and the introduction of Slimani made a big difference as it gave us a presence up front and pace and power. I thought Gayle was poor today and looked to be just going through the motions at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBingo Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I just feel happy for Ameritoon. Chuffed for Ameritoon, too. I just feel happy for Ameritoon. Was it first ever game and trip to SJP? Bet he's absolutely buzzing like mad. Chuffed for Ameritoon, too. I’m jealous, what an experience for him. Cheers all, that was simply incredible. Was just hoping to see one goal really, got two and the winner right in front of me. The atmosphere was amazing, Strawberry beforehand was great, walking around the stadium was surreal. Wish I could redo it all over again, perfect first match. Ayoze's form, too, what a guy Really glad you enjoyed it fella, please come back asap. Class afternoon, was confident of a win all week and didn't feel nervous at any point in the game. Fantastic performances from Diame, Shelvey, Perez and Lascelles but massive contributions from everyone on the pitch. What can you say about Rafa that hasn't already been said.......? This is my son's first season with a season ticket and he's absolutely loving it, haven't felt this proud to be a Newcastle fan in a long long time. Yes, I'm pissed.

Dr Venkman Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Thoroughly enjoyed watching that, hoping for the 3 points but not absolutely shitting myself if we let it slip. Great, hard fought win. Aye same, sort of expected them to equalise so wasn't too panicky. A draw would have still been a good result. We could and should have made it 3-1 anyway. Was on for £110 if it ended 3-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My attended games at SJP are... Lost 2-1 to Fulham. Lost 1-0 to Sheffield Utd Lost 2-0 to Blackburn Drew 2-2 with Wigan (who equalized in injury time through Titus Bramble, despite being down to ten men) Been tough watching, I have to say.

Fatwax Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Which managers were these under, Shak? Souness/Roeder? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 First three Roeder and then Kinnear. Got to see Bullard’s leg get mangled and was in the paper protesting against Shepherd after the Sheffield Utd game, those were high points. Actually Martins scoring against Wigan was class, was a rocket and I thought it had won us the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
