Newcastle United 2-1 Brentford (02/04/25)

[Ronaldo]

Great 3 points. Unbothered about the performance which had good and bad points. They’re a good team Brentford, to be fair.

 

[Thomson Mouse]

Of course he meant it, you don't hit a ball like that for a cross. Very much like Beardsley used to do, smack it to the front post as the keeper isn't expecting it

I'm absolutely over the moon with it. At this stage 3 points is like gold!

True, 3 points is 3 points, but fuck me we don't half make it hard for ourselves

Their movement at times was top notch.

Max Cady cunt that he is

Worth remembering Brentford had won 5 in a row away from home in the league. Really massive win that.

Nine games left. I don't give a flying fuck how we win them as long as we win.

Yep. Horrible to play against. 

When they get a chance. They’re really crisp and direct with their passing. A threat in behind. Yet they’re also a long ball set piece, long throw and corner loving team. So it feels a bit pick your poison at times. 
 

Let’s be honest. We should have been 2 or 3 up before Pope had his moment of madness for the pen. They weren’t exactly threatening before that.

Really important win. Vital we got over line there. Beat Leicester and in a real nice position. Howay Spurs tomo 

[Cf]

Jesus Christ that goal. 

 

Has to be intentional right? What else was that if not a shot?

[Stottie]

Ha ha Papiss Cisse goal from Sandro. Any win against a team who've won five straight away is a good win. Rejoice!!

I keep going back and forth on whether he meant it, the reverse angle is the one for me, the technique he strikes it with looks too controlled for it to be a wild cross. 

[Boey_Jarton]

Brentford are a functional team with decent individuals but their manager is a bellend and their free kicks into the box and long throw-ins make for a grim watch.

This. 

Absolutely no one in the 6 yard box. 

Keeper off his line

The fact he barely reacts when it goes in doesn't help either. It's Tonali. He's void of emotion.

[Big Geordie]

Hard fought win against a very good team, IMO. Was always going to be a difficult night, so job done.

 

What a goal from Tonali, mind!

[toon25]

Penalty aside, they didn't look much like scoring. We could have made it easier for ourselves by putting away those chances, but hey ho. 3 points is 3 points. Well happy.

[LionOfGosforth]

Performance was so-so, and a bit scrappy, a draw was probably a fair result overall, but that is such an important win, Brentford are no mugs, and it keeps the momentum.

 

That Tonali goal was proper odd, was really confused for a second after it went in as was everyone sat around me. If he meant it, it's unreal.

long throw-ins

honestly think we need a rule to ban it.  Hate them.  Slows the game down.  99% of the time they come to nothing.  Nearest man to the throw in needs to take it.  Saves us waiting for a left back to take a throw in on the right.
