He liked to “put it about” against City. Is he like that every game Homer.He was a handful at times.

Can have the odd day when he doesn't look interest. A beast at this level but he needs to step up next season if we go up. I think he must have had a falling out with Parker last year as he didn't look interested or up for it. He only played 27 games and 14 were as sub

Super Frank Lampard ? ??

We’re sounds like Frank. Scrappy fight of a game and Newcastle deserved it.

The better team on the night deservedly won.

Back to football. Tonight, 1 car, 2 Toon fans, 1 Everton fan. Much tension.

Would it be wrong to make my wife and son walk 12 miles at 9.45pm if they are in a happy and bouyant mood?

Drive carefully mate ??

That’s the sort of scrappy games you’re going to have - Newcastle were up for it , your boys just seemed second to everything and lacking any spirit or fight

Have to say what a shocking performance from Delle Ali - embarrassing

The hostile every time he touches the ball. What else do you expect? Not like he is going to be beaten up is it

Altho the irony of so many people wanting him to be "done" on the pitch whilst being against violence ...

Hostility from his home fans? ??.

I dont want him done on the pitch. I expect him not to be playing, his employers should have made him accountable for his actions. But hey, I guess it was more important that he picked up his appearance fee and win bonus ?

St.Maximin an 11/10 performance tonight. All Everton could do was to kick him (when they got close enough to him that is)

Looks like Frank has lots of work to do....pretty spineless performance from Everton...didn't look like they were up for the fight.

Did seem weak and struggled to threaten after going behind.

They played harder than we did. Pretty much what I feared last week, good changes being made in Newcastle and they’re up for the fight.

We could do without more injuries.

But how does not playing him actually punish him? He gets to sit at home and be paid ...real punishment that

Like we agreed last week, Lampard wasn’t going to work miracles overnight, we never expected to win every game and as he said we have 18 games to go.

Newcastle fully deserved the win and they’ll take points off other teams.

I thought Lascelles was MoM for them, outstanding on the night.

He was poor. Van De Beek gave me some hope but Lascelle, Trippier and Saint Maximin ripped us apart.

We need more time, not sure we’ll get it.

Cats lives matter ?

United ............................ oh dear.
They really are a difficult watch and the sooner this season is over, the better.
The make me want to support Derby County!

 

[Liverbirdie]

Rubbish? No, it’s not. This should be prosecuted by the RSPCA, not the police.

But, hey, I was only a cop for nearly 30 years. What do I know?

Isnt there an similar analogy of referees knowing the rules, but not the game?

I really have lost interest in this season. Some occasional bright individual moments, but another two points tossed away by not pressing home periods of superiority.

A very turgid and predictable watch, certainly second half.

 

[Jimaroid]

Yep. There were some positives to take. I liked what Van De Beek was trying to do in his small showing and Gordon just keeps getting better. I do think Frank can turn us around, I’ve not felt this confident in a manager for a long time.

 

[Billysboots]

Not in this case, no.

The refereeing mistakes we spend days arguing about on here often aren’t clear cut. What Colch is dismissing as “absolute rubbish” happens to be very simple. And he’s wrong.

It's a good job Harry Maguire didn't get stuck in the Suez canal or they'd still be trying to get him out. Shocking display and the only defender who can get done twice by two different players for the same goal.
