A convict relying on an umpire's call - and not getting it - will never not be fucking hilarious.

Just remembered bruno making a tackle in the corner first half and going fucking mental

 

Fucking class

 

 

 

 

He's our best player, different level. Joelinton's efforts help him to be that though.

I thought the ref in general was poor. Was a classic top team bias like it used to feel playing against man utd for years under fergie.

 

City players were just flopping to the floor, Walker in the corner Vs Joelinton for perfect example of this. 

 

You could definitely feel that general bias towards them today from the official. Disappointing.

I didnt actually notice at the time... but why did we not have a pen? :lol: absolute shambles. 

Because Stones was wearing a correct shirt at the time. Apparently elbowing someone in the head is absolutely fine if you're wearing one of the correct shirts :thup:

Obviously because they asked the ref how he saw it, he must have said Stones clattered into Schar, leading with his arm, and got nowhere near the ball, but he didn't think it was a foul. Very high bar and that.

I’m eternally baffled by Haaland. I don’t understand how somebody who is 6ft5 and built like he is can also have that kind of pace and acceleration. It’s unnatural - like somebody has made a player's attributes on a video game.

Wasn't the fastest man in the world ever pretty tall?

Been working today so haven’t had time to watch the full match, but the chunks I saw: what a performance. Big Joe turning in to a Brazilian Roy Keane will never not make me smile. Him just screaming “how?!” after his yellow was perfect.

Yes, weirdly enough I looked into this after I saw his goal against West Ham. Haaland and Bolt (when he got the record) are both the exact same weight and height. 

 

6ft 5in and 94kg. From what I could learn in 5 minutes online research.

From what I recall Allan's was more studs and a lot more excessive whilst Tripper was more of a trip

 

Though I'm probably being a little bit biased

Both cynical as fuck tbh. Both deliberate attempts to stop attacks there and then. 

 

Difference is Trippier came in from the side and the ball could have been seen as just a trip/tackle. Allan's was directly from behind with the ball about 6 yards away and it was absolutely a hack/kick down with 0 chance of winning the ball rather than a bad/late lunge from the side. 

 

Don't like either tackle tbh but Fernandinho and Fabinho have been doing this cynical shit for years now. "taking one for the team" is now seen as a smart and good thing so fuck it. It's a yellow, move on.

He’s pretty terrifying to be up against. He’s going to score an unreal amount of goals in the next couple seasons.

Haaland’s still a little raw. It’s scary to think what he’s going to be. City look a different team now though. Not as scary as before but they can change that with one or two transfers. 
 

Last year in all competitions, Sterling and Jesus had 49 direct goal involvements. 30 goals and 19 assists combined. To put that on young Haaland’s back is a bit much at this age.

Since a 0-4 defeat at the hands of City in December 2021, Newcastle have lost just one of their 12 home games in the Premier League (won 8, drawn 3).

 

Fortress 

In games against the top six,  its P4 W1 D2 L1. In both draws,  we were winning in the second half.
