What a load of balls.

Lifelong bitter Manc Daniel Harris. If he's doing the commentary you might as well avoid it because he can't bring himself to be professionally impartial.

[Brian Blessed]

They are also usually older than twelve...

Is he styling his haircut off one of their players? I don’t know their player names, but I swear I saw his haircut on this weirdo.

[Fiasco]

Eddie Howe is a gobshite, but that Tindall is something else. He's got the most punchable face I've ever seen and his self-importance is off the fucking charts.

[4pool]

Hope Brighton put them to the sword next Saturday.

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw who they had next, it would be another win for football in this depressing war on sportswashing barbaric regimes.

Things could go very poorly if they lose that one, and then get off to a bad start in Europe, support starts to question whether they are actually the quality that they thought, doesn't take lot of for the players to start to question themselves.

[ScouserAtHeart]

There was a video going around a while ago, a compilation of Tindall shaking managers' hands before Beheaddie and always seeming to know exactly where the cameras are

Tbf his text commentary jizzed when Darwin got his second. I think for a split moment, he forgot it was Liverpool and just enjoyed a moment of exquisite football   

[emitime]

carragher and neville kept saying they were favourites today and on the up.

Must have been the agreed talking point today. Owen was saying the same on the American feed. Something about if you look at this year then Newcastle are really a force and Liverpool are fading...

Points this year:

Liverpool 46
Newcastle 40

Not to mention, didnt we win all 3 matches since Saudis took over?

[Rosario]

‘Only’ 7 saves as well. Some of the keeper from the shit sides make that many most games I reckon.

That’s a crazy stat, about time he put a shift in.

[Statto Red]

Yey, won 2-1 at home last season Mo with a 98th minute winner, that after all the timewasting they were doing from when they went 1-0 up, the away match, we were 2-0 up in 20 minutes then they had their keeper sent off.

Carvalho with the winner

It's 5/5 since the takeover.

Also beat them 1-0 away in 20/21 when Keita scored and Newcastle barely touched the ball, and 3-1 in the home fixture. Both were after the takeover and the away game was late in the season when they had turned their form around.

[Bucko - Dubai]

If you want an idea of their fans, this is the thread title on one of their main forums

Eddie’s One Man Dugout Wonderboys vs. Fag Ash Lil’s Wall Pushing Disappointments

Strange how people revel in the deaths of people from over 30 years ago, will never understand it

[Fitzy.]

Just to clarify, when did Tindall actually do the shushing thing?

[12C]

Probable when Joelinton was running around kicking people after being warned by the ref.
Also did Joelinton really wave an imaginary card at the ref when VVD was sent off ?

Daniel Harris, he is full of bullshit, Man U supporter who has been rpedicting Liverpool's demise for eyars, i can't stand him.

[Carras Left Foot]

Eddie Howe gives me Jake Humphrey vibes. Absolute bellend.

[Ray K]

I bet Jason Tindall follows Andrew Tate on Twitter.  And not the fewl of a manchesteh united fan.

[Gods_Left_Boot]

When Virgil was sent off, I think.

guardian football coverage is absolutely painful to read.

it always comes off like they're bitter some northerners have forced them to take their slip on loafers off, turn off the rugger union and write about 'footie' (something they only talk about in person with labourers, after exhausting mentioning the weather)

[Stubbins]

I hate Eddie Howe and his Third Reich officer's face.

I hear you, but I see the cherubic Howe in a Hitler youth uniform. Perhaps singing 'Tomorrow Belongs To Me' in a Berlin biergarten.

And keeping the Teutonic theme going, his mate Tindall is a ringer for a German porn star from the 70s & 80s. Or so I'm reliably told.

I remember Jake Humphries, in the middle of a game, suddenly getting all excited by the cricket, only to resume with his bored look as soon as the conversation returned to football. That's what the Guardian coverage feels like, 'professionals' doing a job, pretending neutrality but actually favouring whatever bias has entered their head this week. They never feel invested in the game, but don't feel impartial either, so it all comes off as sneering disinterest with a slightly preachy tone.

Things can go really bad for them if Brighton beat them next weekend. Only 3 points from possible 12, the international break giving their fans 2 weeks to panic, and difficult September when they have Brentford (h) and Sheffield Utd (a), with a Champions League game and a League Cup game also ...

Agreed. Plus Bottman went off injured after screaming from the pain (I don't know what happened, seemed a coming together with Gomez off camera) - if he's out for a significant spell, they could struggle to keep things tight at the back in their usual conservative manner

[TepidT2O]

They might struggle this season… they’ve added numbers to cope with the champions league, but their back line isn’t going to cope with mobile forwards in Europe…

They seem to be waiting on the results of his scan, before deciding if they should go after another central defender in the coming days. So, it can't be good ...

Hope they are bottom of the group as could not bear the thought of meeting them in later rounds of Europe if they dropped down, just because of this false pathetic rivalry that yet again a club has conjured up.

if they do, i hope they let howe decide, so he can pick up some random english choice, rather than go for someone sensible. if he's out a while they could go into european games with a lanky left back at centre back and their new chelsea left back going straight in despite no pre season. or lascelles

[Terry de Niro]

It was the same with Chelsea after the Russian bankrolled them and Abu Dhabi FC after they were sportswashed.

[arfy05]

There has got to be a mentality question for these as well. Bottled the League Cup vs an awful utd team, forms been patchy for end of last season and start of this. Also I don’t think Howe is the type of manager to re-create a team once its been worked out, newcastle are very vulnerable on balls in behind and running at there own goal. Can only see that exposed even more in Europe

They can always loan a central defender from Chelsea ...

[sheepfest]

Yep true. 

Should have added fake twats as well when they are at Anfield with the usual clap trap during the game and a pretense before.  At least the mancs and others are honest about it.

To be fair, they were narrow favourites with the bookies going into the game, so I don't really mind this comment so much. I had much more of an issue with the same manc bellend crying after the game yesterday that they're still better than us. After losing a game at home with a lead and playing against ten men.

There's a pretty weird and distasteful desperation amongst the English media to big Newcastle up, even after they've absolutely shat the bed and made fools of themselves.
