The Official Newcastle United Thread

Well I’ve just about sobered up.

What a bloody brilliant performance and win that was.

Slimani looked a decent sort from his cameo I thought, Jonjo could pass a ball through a needle if he wanted to and that goal from Richie was superb.

Hard to call a fault with that performance in any way.

Poor game tonight, seeing the same lack of quality that cost us earlier in the season.

Everton have been no better really but, they did take their chance.

Quite amazed Everton look like finishing in the top half of the Premier League - seen them a few times live on Sky and they've been pretty mediocre on each occasion (including tonight). Thought Newcastle deserved a point but you're right, a poor game!

[ellroy]

Bloody awful game and Everton were lucky with the bounce of the ball for their goal.

Some of the players, on both sides, with thoughts of the beach it would appear.

Only watched the second half, looked like we were unlucky with the goal and a couple of decisions.

They’d better play better than that on Saturday when I’ve forked out extra for a squishy seat! Poor game, gave the ball away too many times. Slimani didn’t impress.

Bloody awful.

[TX1]

Seems to me some of the guys playing are just there to make the numbers up.
Since we got into safety zone they have just stopped trying.

[DoctorX]

disappointing.

[ellroy]

Mid table, end of season, usual approach that frankly we would’ve given our eye teeth for a year or two ago...

Still st mind.

[ellroy]

Have absolutely zero expectation of any kind of result tonight. More’s the pity as I just don’t like Spurs, and truly despise Deli Ali.

Me too. Jonjo not keen either

Nothing to play for, they have. Could be embarrassing.

Chelsea at home for the final game. Chelsea haven't faired too well here in recent years.

[FN2TypeR]

Can't believe that you lads didn't grab a bit of something from that TBH!

[DoctorX]

Oh well. At least Huddersfield stayed up, which I m glad about. Their manager is a good bloke.

[ellroy]

Should have had a point I’d say, but there you go.

At least there was a shift put in, unlike a couple of the last games since securing safety.

Sad to see the end of Kennedy’s loan, he’s been great. Fingers crossed we can get him permanently, but all depends on the fat cockney. So not exactly hopeful.

[skahigh]

What a great way to end a generally quite enjoyable season. Who would have thought this squad would finish tenth at the start of the season? Brilliant!

My highlight is probably all the fans staying 100% behind Rafa and the players even when we had that awful run of nine games, didn't it pay dividends!

What about the rest of you?

Time for Mike Ashley to step up and show Rafa some ambition now!

Not changed then.

Outplayed them. Good. Hateful set of fans.

Nice to see Rafa put one over this lot, bet that was sweet.
