We’ve got a reputation to live up to. I got emotional watching them. When you’re in exile on the other side of the world, and you see such fantastic representatives of who you are and where you’re from. Young and old lads alike were there displaying their bad Indian ink daubings and moobs for all the world to see. Thank you for your service, lads.

Geordie_once_removed Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Thank fucked we needed that on so, so many levels. It's embarrassing how much a couple of shit Newcastle performances affect my mood. Very happy that against the draw and the ridiculous decisions we won. I feel another Wembley trip coming on... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 51 minutes ago, Heron said: It actually felt 10× better doing it against the odds today. Away from home against a currently top 3 side, our skipper and a few other key players missing and generally just poor form away from home too and a very inconsistent season. That's before a ball was even kicked. Dominated possession first half without creating a massive amount. 3 or 4 players offside for their goal (including the goalscorer). A blatant Red card that was given a yellow, 2 other fairly soft but potentially valid penalty shouts denied and that's before the more trivial decisions. Villa questioning the Red they did receive is absolutely mental. Talk around Villa having players back?! We were 3 on 1 and past their keeper at that stage - it was a clear goalscoring opportunity and an almost knee high assault to boot. Second half and the most disgraceful refereeing decision I have ever seen - certainly in a Toon match. He literally should be suspended for a game for how poor that call was. Even if he couldn't see the linesman has to correct him. Absolutely shambolic. So not only did Digne get away without a red card he got away with a penalty. That feeling of injustice seemed to spur us on though and as multiple players told officials to "fuck off" (Dan Burn, Jacob Ramsey and Lewis Hall) - and they were just the televised ones - it was fantastic to see Sandro (who everyone has been sceptical about) say it one last time after levelling the game. The fact he ran to Howe and hugged him spoke volumes for me too. As did Trippiers interview when he protected Sandro and told the truth about the refereeing and Howe and what he means to the dressing room. Woltemade scoring was the icing on the cake. Two fairly difficult places to go and two wins, let's do it out in Azerbaijan as well. No doubt Man City will be a bridge too far but hopefully this is a turning point for our confidence and the discussions the players have had internally have been a force for change in their collective confidence. We're coming in to the final third of the season and now is the time to kick on if it is going to be at all this season. You cannot fault their collective effort though. As always...long live the king. I was pretty angry when Murphy accepted that penalty with no argument recently, and I get the feeling Howe was too. There was definitely a change in attitude with us fighting our corner on those disgraceful decisions instead of putting our heads down and accepting them quietly. My bet is that Howe has made this clear to his players that he won't accept a loser mentality. I don't mind us losing if we go down fighting. This was more like it.
