Newcastle United 6-1 Tottenham Hotspur (23/04/2023)

I hope this doesn’t make me sound like a cunt, but I always thought Caulkin was a good writer for people who, frankly, don’t read much. It’s overwrought, try hard stuff that would get laughed out of a publisher’s office if it didn’t come attached to a huge inbuilt audience.

It's a fair point. Also the 'best' of a poor bunch.

The thing that made Caulkin great during the Ashley era is he got it. It was a breath of fresh air compared to most of the nonsense about Ashley and ungrateful / unrealistic Newcastle supporters.

Aye, we were desperate for any crumb of comfort TBH.

I know the whole "Spurs implosion" over "Wow Newcastle" stuff is to be expected given the love ins and hierarchy in English football, and yeah Spurs were second everywhere yesterday,  but not once have I heard or read anywhere how Spurs were given absolutely zero chance to perform. Not only the speed and the sharpness and the intensity of our football, but the attitude of every single player and the atmosphere and the occasion absolutely crushed them. Put another team in there in those 20 mins yesterday and I'm confident they would have been blown away too. Maybe not to that extent. I'd challenge any group of players to cope with that!

That Match Cam was a really quite delightful 20 minutes.

 

5:01 in spot the spurs fan sitting in the second row up. Either that or he just so shocked Murphy scored he can't celebrate...

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but did anyone else see the lass with the massive camera in the Gallowgate. I assume to do with this Amazon documentary.

I thought this was going somewhere else for the first sentence.

Yeah many teams would have lost against us yesterday. Spurs didnt bother with Bruno and Trippier and if you dont do that they will tear many teams apart, and thats what happend because they are so good. We had many quality moments, so it wasnt just Spurs being completely out of it.
