It's decent, but only JJ seems to understand that bad performances don't happen in a vacuum and that a big part of our game is forcing teams to play badly or play at a ridiculously high level of speed and precision (see the Brighton 3-1) to get through us.

The bald lad omits several vital points.

 

He keeps referencing the Brighton game. A game where Brighton was at home and full of confidence. SJP was rocking, the players were amped, committed and aggressive. 2x that of PSG. 

 

Tactics aside we were prepared for a massive night and the PSG lads didn't. That's a large part of why they got blown out of the water. We won so many of our duels. When that happens, you win.

 

If we turn up. Any team coming to SJP is going to need to be mentally sharp to beat us.

I have watched the highlights on full blast that many times I think I've fucked the speaker on my phone!

The roar from the fans after each goal was next level shit. Especially miggys goal and when Burns goal was confirmed. I honestly didn't think as a support that we still had that in us!

Any match cam/club highlights can’t be released until 10pm tonight. There is a 48 hour blackout on them from uefa after the game.

 

Looks like the dick slapping is on hold then :pilko:

Won't likely get around to watching this for full context but what you're mentioning has fast become one of the most tired clichés about the team for me. How many times do our opponents have to 'not be at the races' before people realise there's clearly a correlation and it's not just luck?

That bald guy sends me to sleep, don’t think I’ve ever managed to finish one of his videos. I’ll wait for the Adam Cleery 442 one which will be a bit more engaging and a from someone who actually watches us :lol:

 

Cleery seems to have improved a bit since his True Faith days but he still comes across as smug and self satisfied and is fairly irritating. He's like a North Eastern version of Simon from the inbetweeners.

Thought this was just a Mackem trope but apparently not.

I'll be honest, I've had nowhere near enough content from this game yet.

 

Really wanted a radio Newcastle overlaid highlights package to finish me off, guess a match cam will do it like.

They should turn the music up more, I can still hear the atmosphere

Was trawling the comments on l'equipe last night and saw

"Bizarre, ils n'ont pas chante leur chant traditionnel a la fin du match" / Weird, they didnt sing their traditional song at the end of the match.

 

Don't know what they mean re the song but I do know what the mean re the DJ

I don't like the music afterwards, wouldn't mind so much if they waited 5 minutes and allowed some natural post-game atmos first. 

 

Southampton at home in the cup semi was the worst, the ref had barely raised the whistle to his lips and we had Doris fucking Day blaring out with the volume turned up to 11, proper shite.

I can see how people could think that, didn’t realise he was on TF. 
 

I just find his explanations of things are easier to understand and just a bit more engaging than the deadpan dullness of Tifo irl. I like that that actually have clips rather than dots and still images, makes concepts a lot easier to follow.

Liverpool fan taking it well.

 

"If you’ve just landed back in the country from Mars, Newcastle haven’t won fuck all. They haven’t won the Champions League, or even the UEFA Intertoto Cup. They’ve won a football match. A group match. They’re not through to anything but the TV darlings are deserving everything.
And they waved their plastic flags and they had a nice little Hello Hello  and they took their shirts off and they won a match. And they reckon their atmosphere is the best and the superlatives haven’t stopped and they did a lap of honour.
If you didn’t see the noisy PSG fans who kept shouting for their team throughout, they were stuck up in the Gods because Riyad United don’t like competition. They don’t like a level playing field and in fact they haven’t got one.
They’re at the same point we were probably in 1965 .The Racket that was produced by the Kop during the the Inter match can’t even be compared to their manufactured boistrous plastic flag waving last night.
 True they showed passion and that was to be expected but they’re like teenagers on a first date. Like the Bluenoses in their famous European night against Bayern Munic back in 1985.
 And if they’re teenagers on a first date, then we’ve been married to the competition for nearly 60 years. It’s hard for our lot to get aroused in the group stages, but beejeesus, nobody needs to teach us about passion on  the big nights. There’s no place like Anfield.
When this lot have got a few European scalps to their name and have played some important semi-finals and finals , and there’s no doubt they will with all the money they’ve got, we’ll see  what St James’s Park is like for the group stage games.
Bless them. They’re excited.  But remember, the daft gets have only won a group stage match. How can we be jealous of this lot"


Christ, what a prontonising cunt.

Having just watched the highlights again for the 12th time, Almirons finish is top class. Had a lot to do and made it look easy.


The easy play would’ve been to first-time it off his right foot. So of course he runs around it to smack it back across goal with his left, with perfect placement. Guy’s a lunatic and I love him for it.

Don’t think I’ll ever get over Uncle Ray losing his shit for Schar’s goal. 
 

That goal, too. My word. Trailing away from him, fully stretched to connect for a perfect curler into the top corner. Slamming the book shut on a stellar performance from the lads.

Hey Jude grates on me quite a bit because every other team in the country sings it

 

We've sang "Geordies" to that for at least 25 years like.

And Man City fans have sang it for just as long.

 

And it feels like every team is playing it now. Noticed Brentford did it the other week too
