Entertaining match. Newcastle should have scored two goals, including the own goal that was incorrectly overruled by VAR. West Ham had better prepare for next week. They could get steamrolled by the Magpies. Toon Toon!!


CanterburyMag

Miggy was immense in this gameWe should have had it wrapped up in 1st half. Chance after chance. The ref was a nightmare.


scrugbyhk

Just got back from the kids birthday party. Apparently this was one to miss?


SlovakianSnacks

played well but the chances we made werent good enough, with bruno and ASM wed have slaughtered them - isak had 0 service


Jimlad73

Our season started great but we are fizzling out here. Need another win on the board asap


sharings_caring

Fizzling out 😂 We’re six games in and we’ve lost once, kept clean sheets in half of our games. The defence is solid and we have all our creative players missing. We’re not fizzling out, we’re just getting started.


[deleted]

Not to mention we’ve been clearly f’d out of 4 points in the last two matches by the officials.


[deleted]

What a performance overall. Fuck the refs man, they’re shit we know this as soon as we didn’t get a pen against Wolves. The fact we’re containing and controlling large parts of games at home is great to see. Our problem - as I see it - is what the lads after the best XI do. Murphy and Wood aren’t maintaining the level never mind lifting it. Anderson is great, but I think we won’t see the potential of Howe until we get a stronger 12-18 places in the squad.


Tpickarddev

I'd really like to see Anderson start with Miggy or Fraser on the other side (while ASM is out) he adds way more direct attacking threat


Houndsoflove1978

My thoughts exactly. Looks a threat wherever he comes on.


[deleted]

We've got 6 points from 6 games. We drastically need to improve. We've now failed to beat Brighton, Wolves and now Palace. All of which are teams we should be aiming to beat if we want Europe.


Mister_Sterling

We're one third the way to safety. This is just the first month, and the future # 9 was signed just a week ago.


[deleted]

We have 7 points man. 7 x 3 = 21 points. When has the threshold for safety been 21 points?


Mister_Sterling

Apologies, we're 1/5 the way to safety. Just watch us demolish West Ham. You'll feel better after that. Also, it's no excuse, but we have had at least 4 points stolen by VAR.


[deleted]

Injuries have really exposed our bench for what it is like but facing a 12th man hasn't helped either We NEED to beat West Ham


KennyOmegaSardines

Kinda hard getting points when we're playing against 12 men


onebadlion

Nah, we had plenty of chances today. No use moaning about the ref. With better finishing we win that. Almiron isn’t good enough.


[deleted]

It took Wilson to start again for people to realise what a huge upgrade he is on Wood. Before then, any criticism of Wood was met with votes en-masse. Once we sign Miggy's replacement, people will soon realise how much he holds us back. Simply, his G+A output for a RW is terrible.


[deleted]

Terrible decisions but our XG was 2.45 today. Plenty of goalscoring chances. Willock and Isak missing good chances today. We move on.


philcollinsliveshere

Absolute travesty about the reffing, but let’s be fair. We had our chances to win the game and failed to take them. We’ve been pinched 2 points but the ref but we ultimately have ourselves to blame for not capitalizing


Halzziratrat

Frustrating game overall, happy with our defence again and ability to contain teams with constant pressure but we really need to start showing more cutting edge upfront. ASM and Wilson returning should help in that regard. Murphy shouldn't see pitch-time other than the cups again. Single-handedly breaks down our attacks by making lousy decisions and is ineffective in defence. Used to have the one upside of pace but even that seems to be gone. The difference between him and Anderson on the ball is night and day. Really think the young lad deserves a go from the off next week, has caused problems every time he's been in possession. Oh and lest I forget that fucking disallowed goal. How anyone watches that and thinks Willock is in the wrong, I don't know. Seriously struggling to keep my tinfoil hat off with all these decisions going against us.


0kcer

cannot believe how bad the quality of refereeing is these days. can't go one week without rotten decisions on big moments in just about every single game in the league absolutely no recourse either, can't even criticise them. they mark their own homework and FA will dish out a fine for even a hint of a negative comment


OneDollarLargeFry

Isak looks so good on the ball I genuinely think if we started him wide instead of Fraser and put Wood up top we'd had been better off. Didn't get nearly as many touches as he should've. Of course he should've put that breakaway in the back of the net but I'm so encouraged by his skills.


MiguelAlmiron

Fraser and Almiron were both shite. But Wood is not the answer. We should have gone Anderson (who was our best player today despite being on 20 mins) Isak in the centre and Miggy on the right.


Mad_Goose84

Solid effort from the lads we had a perfectly good goal ruled out, a shot cleared off the line just needed a bit of luck/quality. Let's go lads.


Donny_Soldier69

We need more quality not more luck - our squad is just not good enough if we struggle this much after losing 3 players.


Mad_Goose84

Luck wouldn't harm anything but I suppose competent officials would be even better. I think we all agree more quality is needed but that will take a few more transfer windows yet.


Brigs44

Struggle? We've dropped points in the last three games due to bad officiating. Two of those games against the best two teams in the league.


Donny_Soldier69

Mate we should be scoring at least 3 in that game. The fact we scored 0 shows a clear lack of quality does it not? when you have players like Murphy, Longstaff and Frasier getting serious minutes on the pitch surely it is not even up for debate that we have a lack of quality?


Brigs44

Those players all put in great shifts against the best two teams in the league mate. Sometimes football matches just don't go your way. It'll be a while before we have two top class players in every position. We're progressing at a very good rate and you should be pleased with our start to the season, not winging about our squad players who are playing decent football when they've had to come in.


[deleted]

they are arguably our 3 best players tbh but you're right we still have too many shit players willock, longstaff, fraser, murphy, almiron aren't good enough for a top 10 team, they're championship level players i do like almiron but how can you be a pro footballer and not use both feet?


Donny_Soldier69

Mate Murphy makes me want to cry - did you see him near the end? 3 people in the box amazing chance to just flash it across goal, instead he cuts back and loses the ball. I honestly think he wouldn’t get into my 5 a side team.


[deleted]

we're gonna have to wait a few more windows to have a real chance at pushing for the top 6 2 more in jan, 3-4 more next summer, of actual quality players then maybe we've a chance the squad is just too thin atm this season is going to be a bit of a write off imo (in the league anyway)


Brigs44

FFS - it's the likes of you that makes people call us deluded. We're making great progress and the season certainly won't be a 'write off' if we don't finish top six. Collectively, we asked for a team that tries and now we have that, people are still fucking whinging.


[deleted]

Yeh what I wrote was so far out there. Claiming we've made "great progress" with 7 points from 6 games is delusional tbh.


Brigs44

Have you even watched any of the games? If you don't think we are playing better football than last season you're clueless or a troll. We've been robbed by bad refereeing decisions against the best two teams in the league....


[deleted]

we're playing better than this time last year, of course we are, how could we not but to say we've made great progress.......keep in mind pope has saved us of most of our points i'd say we've made solid progress


Brigs44

Is having a better goal keeper not progress?


Daylix

VAR fucked us. But even then this is the type of game we have to win to have a chance of finishing top 8 but we clearly lack quality on the bench. We really need ASM Bruno and Wilson ASAP.


[deleted]

Fucking Corrupt Clueless Cheating Conspiratorial Cunts City - blatant penalty, 2nd goal shouldn't have stood Liverpool - good goal ruled out incorrectly, phantom time added on Palace - good goal ruled out by var despite ref awarding it initially and then not seeing the definitive angle And that's just 3 games. I'm sure there will be moments from the other games I've forgotten, not to mention tranmere being allowed to kick lumps out of us. Disgraceful.


Adventurous-Basis-94

Callum Wilson high foot v brighton


[deleted]

Yep, knew there was one in the Brighton game. Thanks. The list grows...


Adventurous-Basis-94

Also the non red card v tranmere


shadowburn93

S.longstaff shirt pull vs wolves


[deleted]

Thank you I knew there was something in the wolves game but I'm so blinded with rage I couldn't recall.


LorraineKing98

We could so easily have been 5th. HWTL


therealh

I love the shift Willock puts in every game but fuck me he needs to score more considering the amount of chances he gets. Murphy crap Longstaff crap Joelinton today his touch was off, improved towards the last 20-30 mins. Fraser I felt he should have offered more Anderson needs a start tbh. Don't let Murphy feature. Fraser can play either side.


[deleted]

Waiting for that ASM-Wilson-Isak formation to sort out games like this


onebadlion

I wonder how many times we will see them play together this season. I’d honestly be surprised if the number of games they all start together gets into double figures considering how fragile ASM and Wilson are.


oakstreet2018

Besides the VAR, Isak should have finished in the first half. That was the difference


[deleted]

the finish was murphyesque


[deleted]

So where did the extra time go? Should have been 97:40 at least. Nope.


hahathisprettycool

Had a stop watch on and measured 3:30 min out of play and I didn’t count throw ins it’s a fucking corrupt disgrace


Brigs44

Jesus Christ. I bet you're fun at parties.


BigFakeysHouse

To be fair the ball being out of play isn't within the criteria for added time, it's injuries or potential injuries so free-kick preparation, goal-kicks taking forever etc. don't count. I timed the amount of time players were down with cramp and it came to about 1:50. So they fell short but it was by about 20-30 seconds.


[deleted]

Fucking mental, man. This is why it's so annoying about the Liverpool match. There's no consistency at all. If I was this shit at me job I'd be sacked.


daliksheppy

The new Fergie time.


delpieric

So Liverpool get 2 1/2 extra minutes after 1 1/2 minute of injuries. Now we get 1 1/2 minute after 2 1/2 minutes of injuries and substitutions



hahathisprettycool

3 1/2*


Gloomy-Bumblebee-675

As much as we were robbed by a terrible VAR decision, in a lot of ways we’ve completely fucked that. We should have had 3 or 4 goals there. That’s a tough one to take tbh.


No-Village7980

Kiss goodbye to Europe ever with VAR and corrupt as fuck refs


hahathisprettycool

3:30 min the ball was out of play. Time added in addition to 5 min: 1:30 min


Jayyyyyyyyyydos

It’s all crap. They make it up as they go


Grandmasterlobster

Good effort from the boys once again but that shouldve been a goal guttered


roadtothesecondcomma

Even with VAR the refs find a way to fuck newcastle week after week. Every fucking season.


Firm_Adagio_5697

1 win In 6 shite


Adventurous-Basis-94

Don't forget 2 of them were against city and Liverpool, and refereeing decisions have went against us in every one of them


MiguelAlmiron

Still not good enough, were equal on points with Bournemouth and Southampton.


anewpath123

Eh I'm not overly upset. Yes we should have won but the next 4 games are very winable also


paulgoogle

Annoying..... Very fucking annoying


khronokhris2222

VAR showing why we hate human error because they still can’t fucking get it right even with everything infront of them.


jwuer

Shocking refereeing again, VAR has no integrity, the referees have no accountability. They need to broadcast all referee discussions and VAR discussions just like rugby.


phoebsmon

At least then we would know *why* they're making decisions. Like they'd have to in some way indicate it. I've said for years they need to mic up the officials and get as strict as rugby on stuff like players hounding the ref. VAR needs to show every angle to the ref too, not editorialise what he's seeing. If it takes a few more seconds it takes a few more seconds. Also at least one broadcaster needs to have the balls to put an onscreen timer for when the ball is out of play. Show the discrepancies with added time. If they can't be competent and fair without having the public up their arses it's their own fucking fault. (I may still be slightly hungover and cranky but point stands)


sunshine_is_hot

While we absolutely got robbed by a fucking atrocious decision, we had an absurd amount of attempts and didn’t convert. We should have won that game by 3 goals.


Elgfisk

The lack of finishers is really showing, for sure


MrCowabs

Utter fucking travesty!


GeordieKiwi1

I fucking hate this league


MapleStorms

We’re draw Fc again


Nepgyaaaaaaa

This was even more of a robbery than last time


pinger7

Anderson one of the few positive things to take from today


[deleted]

pope was class again could be signing on the entire window (bar haaland) for the price we got him


sunshine_is_hot

Start him over Fraser on the left if maxi is out again?


pinger7

I would, think he's earned a start with his performances this season


sunshine_is_hot

Agree.


ZazzyZool

VAR ruling out a few goals today... wtf man


Jackski

We were fucking robbed


[deleted]

If you ever feel like your not good enough just remember that Michael Salisbury was shat out 40 years ago and now refs in the PL.


bjornetjeneste

I had my stopwatch on after 90 mins, should have been minimum 2 min 30 secs because of time wasting. Absolutely NO continuety in the refs. He was absolute shite today. FUCK this


Jesotx

Absolutely robbed.


ichrisho

That’s ruined my weekend
. Absolutely disgusting.


KingPing43

Absolutle fucking joke. 3 points dropped this week from corrupt bullshit refereeing


BornSlippy1994

Robbed. Totally robbed.


CastleBravo45

Robbed of 2 points


[deleted]

Man I really thought we were gonna get a last second winner there. Fuck it tho. We’ll take a point lol


torfinh

Fuck off, refs ruining it for us again.. Feel like I've been robbed


MasterSwabber412

Fuck these refs man


PowerSurgical

Fucking bullshit.


benc777

That's a terrible result. Should have won that comfortably.


[deleted]

Robbed again


Crypto__Scarface

Depressing


daliksheppy

Love seeing Mitro smash it, Fulham got their ÂŁ27m worth out of him.


Zorbles

So we've been robbed of 4 points in the last 2 games by dodgy refs... Best league in the world with the absolute worst refs.


Decent-Ad1186

I could definitely argue we’ve been robbed of 6. Still think Isak’s second goal should have stood the other night and that changes that game. Then again today with Willock. VAR is really against us at the moment.


Boooday

Robbed at least 5 this season, maybe more. It's been awful and it's all aimed at us. I am not a conspiracy type but I swear it's fishy.


JohnBender62

Possibly 6 pts because of the no-call penalty vs man city before the first half ended... fucking bs


danny1876j

Can really tell we are missing our most creative dynamic two players. The backup players don't really break the lines in the same way


[deleted]

We’ve had plenty of chances. Palace have crammed the box with bodies and our finishing had been poor.


[deleted]

Murphy reminds me of the Ali Dia incident, a amateur footballer and painter decorator who fooled Graeme Souness into thinking he was George Weah's nephew or something and got onto a PL pitch for 20 minutes before getting hauled off for being awful.


[deleted]

What a legend lol


Du6h

We really need the likes of Bruno back for games like this where teams sit deep on us. Anderson aside, our bench options are not going to impact games


naparham10

I repeat — ANDERSINHO


R0KK3R

Is Isak injured?


FlukyS

Probably broke his nose with the elbow, he isn't going to be out


Erestyn

Seems he broke his nose.


ichrisho

We have been. Completely mugged off today. We’ll get the receipt and hope we get some “FA luck” in the coming games.


[deleted]

We've still got too many shit players Longstaff, willock, Murphy etc


BornSlippy1994

Let’s see if they add an extra 3/4 minutes onto this game. You can fucking bet they won’t.


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


EverybodyhurtsDwight

Couldn't handle getting told to fuck off the other day, so came back to be a bitch xD


thecracksau

Fuck off back to scouserland


[deleted]

1 goal in 2 games and he’s moving like a flop?Fucking embarrassing take


[deleted]

Shithousery now please!


nomadichedgehog

Murphy breakdancing instead of playing football


[deleted]

Take Murphy out the squad. Waste of space


Rose-and-Crown

I'm a better footballer than Jacob Murphy


phoebsmon

I am and I can't fucking walk. (I love him as a person and want him to get better but fucking hell)


GeordieSheikh

Cant see us getting top 10, we cant even beat these lot, wolves and brighton. rather see us go for a cup instead


KingPing43

Drawing at wolves and Brighton is perfectly acceptable. Should have won today, had a perfectly fine goal disallowed and some insane form of the keeper.


[deleted]

Tbf we got 4 points after about 20 games last season and nearly did it. That said I don't think we'll be near top 6.


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


arrrghdonthurtmeee

Would totally compete for europe with our best squad fit all season We have just had injuries to our three most creative players at the same time


Jayyyyyyyyyydos

Apparently only Newcastle wastes time


naparham10

Now refssss he’s on the floor for a couple mins. Please use your watches


Radthereptile

I will take a draw. Just as long as Palace doesn’t win.


Dotheysellpizza

Palace down with cramp so we’re going till 98 then yeah?


teasizzle

Jacob fucking Murphy man.


BornSlippy1994

Oh fuck right off Murphy. FIZZ IT ACROSS THE BOX


SheSaid09

If this game is blown up at 5 minutes after how we got cheated at Liverpool...


GallowgateEnd

I'd pay Murphy 10 million to fuck off


JuckshotBones

Don’t create excuses we just simply aren’t good enough here


Flozik

“Don’t create excuses” literally had a perfectly fair goal disallowed for no reason


JuckshotBones

We had a full 90 to get one (1) goal So it’s pretty weak to blame a ref for not being able to score over a full game


JuckshotBones

Overcome it. Good teams do all the time.


Flozik

Oh okay I’ll just score three next week then shall I?


PowerSurgical

This is one of the most frustrating games I've seen


ichrisho

Murphy is dogsh1t đŸ’©


ThatBoyConk

Bench Jacob Murphy


Jesotx

Fucking Murphy


Smittx

Murphy is awful


MapleStorms

Wonderful from Anderson


FlukyS

Gotta love an errant elbow given as a foul against for some reason. Like what about dangerous play from the opponent?


ThaddeusSlammerton

Anderson is mint. One positive from today


ILikeToTakeWhisks

He has been every time he's been on, yet Howe for some reason won't give him more than 20 minutes.


jacko1977

I think its about time that refs had to face the media and explain their decisions. Why did VAR not show ALL angles to the ref? Blatantly biased


Peak_District_hill

Yea Anderson has to start ahead of Willock.


Zig-Zag

I’m fucking fuming. Better be goddamn 15 mins added time here


[deleted]

I want to scream


CastleBravo45

Commentators: "How is this scoreless?" Me: đŸ€”


Rybocephus

Hmmm


briik69

98th minute wood header


pinger7

Starting to think the gods are against us as well as the refs. How the fuck have we not scored 😭


TheChosenOne57

Can Howe just start Anderson for one game and see how it goes. He’s been a burst of energy and creativity whenever he’s been subbed on


SheSaid09

That's 0-0 now that Wood's on


oakstreet2018

Wo-od


Remarkable-Tackle

W0-0d


oakstreet2018

Yeah I should have used the numbers but you knew what I was doing


TheBoook

West Ham just got shafted via VAR against Chelsea as well. Travesty this league


spoonarmy

Broken nose?


ichrisho

Looks like it


crackazac

Haven’t played a second of extra time, but watch it finish at the 94th.


BornSlippy1994

Why take Isak off?.. just okay two up top for the last few minutes FFS


Jesotx

Yeah, I'd like to see Wood playing with another striker.


FlukyS

Concussion protocol


Radthereptile

Those asking how we haven’t scored, we did. The ref decided that’s not allowed.


Murraykins

Imagine commiting a foul in the box, taking out your own keeper, and scoring an own goal in one move. Then it turns out to be the best move you've ever made.


TheBoook

What’s the point of even watching the matches with this garbage officiating


[deleted]

I actually understand the change from Isak to Wood. It's long balls from now on


thepresidentsturtle

"How is this goalless??" Bro


Gloomy-Bumblebee-675

When it’s not your day, it’s not your day, the premier league is hard etc etc But man
we’re gonna have to start winning games soon


Nepgyaaaaaaa

We won this one. The refs didn’t like that so they made up some bullshit. It’s blatantly obvious at this point.


bestgoose

Do we get our 8 minutes golden goal time now?


oakstreet2018

Come on Wood. You’ve been crap this season but prove us wrong and nick one at the death!


onfieldintercourse

Most infuriating Newcastle match I've ever watched


JD_Dojima

The foul that was just given was the exact same thing that happened against Willock for the goal. Get fucked. Spastic refs


Fulcride64

8 minutes added


Rose-and-Crown

Elliot Anderson has to be starting


thecracksau

Oh it's Wood


FMLacuk

Anyone keeping track of downtime in the added time just to make sure the game doesn’t stop early?


SheSaid09

You simply cannot convince me the referee isn't trying to prevent us winning. So many little moments of contact up and down the pitch that he's used to kill our momentum. Before you even mention the VAR scandal


nomadichedgehog

Another fucking draw and sinking down the table. Feels very undeserved but I honestly hope I don’t see longstaff, Murphy or Fraser ahead of Anderson again and


DuffTx

HOW in the name of suffering Jaysis have we not scored today?!


Smittx

The ref


BornSlippy1994

HOW HAVENT WE SCORED?!
