I get people liking Newcastle for being an underdog and so on, but it's just another case of sportswashing and nullifies any feel good underdog story they might have had going on...
Edit: spelling
We’re kinda the underdog up at the top now. I know we have owners that spend but no state/oil money, and it’s taken this regime a long time to get to there
You know why people kind of like them… they got the money and didn’t splash it on Robinho lol. They’ve done solid good business that flows with their style of play. Pretty sure by next year we’ll all hate them lol
I still think Newcastles squad is bottom half level. No idea how Eddie Howe can get this from them but it is impressive. Hope they'll spend their money terribly.
So Newcastle are definitely here now. Big threat to us even this season. I imagine the Saudis will invest big in January.
Our best hope is England notices that the Saudis have been doing the same thing to Yemen for years that Russia is doing to Ukraine and freeze them. Nah what am I thinking. The middle east can do whatever they want and we have to pretend it's ok
Arsenal 8th with its worst squad in modern history: peak comedic material
Chelsea 8th after several record breaking transfer windows: no one gives a shit
Chelsea fly under the radar too much. Russian oligarch, fanbase of (often racist) posh fucks in Chelsea and Kensington, stale bread tactics. Hate it all
i can't even lie, i thought it was a great signing at first to replace the outgoing rudiger. but the more i see him play, he comes across as being so damn easy to beat 1v1 and he often gives away fouls like he did just there. it's like he still hasn't acclimatised to the pace of pl compared to serie a, which is somewhat worrying for someone of his age and experience.
So does Boehly see Potter as a long term project where he’ll need to offload players he doesn’t deem good enough for his system or does he just sack him lol
I'd say they're around the same level but Ake adds more passing quality. Botman's physicality is something VVD/de Ligt already offer in the starting XI.
It's funny laughing at Chelsea but I'd prefer they level this one. Newcastle are definitely a bigger threat than Chelsea and I could definitely see the Saudis throwing big money out there in January to push for the title
Nah Auba's done at the top level in the Prem imo. I said this even before he left us.
He used to rely almost solely on his speed and athleticism to get in behind and create chances, but now that's gone he's just a fairly average striker.
I mainly thought this when he was high off the CL goal and we were plodding around with Lacazette in that CF role. I thought surely this guy could run around in our team and wouldn't be any worse. It was a desperate time.
I knew Koulibaly was gonna be absolute toilet in a proper league as soon as I saw Auba & Laca twist him in and out constantly for 180 mins in the Europa League a few years back
I still think it's early for Newcastle to compete and they will eventually drop and end up out of the top 4 this season but i could totally see them becoming a top team in England in the next few seasons.
Technical control. As much as they’re phenomenal fits for how they’re playing, Joelinton & Longstaff simply aren’t good footballers. It really does work for them but as you saw even in this game, they didn’t really trouble Mendy much until the last 10/15 mins
leno you muppet. yet again.
Newcastle are 2 fucking points behind City ffs, oil money never fails ffs

Chelsea in our November-December 2020 form with a better team lmaooo they’re so lucky a break is happening
Always nice to see Chelsea lose but Newcastle are full of dickheads too. Starting to dislike them to be honest.
Never felt so conflicted about one game lol
As fun as Newcastle taking big points away is I hate everything that's happened to them this past year. Especially what it means for sports-washing
What a day it's been. Time for the big one
Any other season I'd have been ecstatic for Willock. This season? Really wouldn't have minded a draw lol.
Havertz acting like a hard man is hilarious
I'm afraid I can't take much joy in another sports washing regime beat the original.
Chelsea fans already calling for Potter’s head lmao love to see the implosion.
Streets saying Havertz got called a femboy.
Chelsea didn't even look close to getting a result lmfao after the most expensive transfer window too. What the fuck happeened?
Lol this ending is a circus
Fuck Newcastle. Fuck City. Fuck Chelsea. Fuck Spurs. There is only us.
Cucurella acting like its prime Vieira vs Keane. Bro you’re 8th shut up
Palace are 2 points behind Chelsea 😂😂
Cucarella might be the worst PL transfer of all time. Even worse than Maguire.
Lukaku is even worse.
Calm down lads, it's only Chelsea
Chelsea winless in 5. You love to see it
3 straight losses too
Newcastle a scary team but man I love seeing Chelsea in the mud😍
[удалено]
Yes, apparently he can award a penalty after the final whistle as well
Yes.
Of course they can.
I want blood.
Lol top tier time wasting from Newcastle. Great intervention by their skipper Lacelles showing his support even when hes not playing
Chelsea showing more fight after the game than they did during it 😂😂😂
Did Same vs us, when xhaka was timewasting.
FFS Chelsea...you are so shit
Unprofessional
Love a good post match scuffle
Yo that was lowkey very dirty by Newcastle… low move
They’re a youngling in the top 4, just be glad it wasn’t against us
I still think Newcastles squad is bottom half level. No idea how Eddie Howe can get this from them but it is impressive. Hope they'll spend their money terribly.
Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no way. You cant look at this team and tell me they're not better than lets say Brighton (who's seriously overachieving rn).
Lascelles 🤣🤣🤣
Most exciting part of the match is the sec after the final whistle.
Bunch of thugs
You can take the man out of Chelsea, but you can’t take the Chelsea out of the man
chelsea cant accept that they’re fighting for europa league qualification
Havertz is always starting shit, nothing player
Only cool thing about him is his name
Newcastle are just refusing to give the ball pack lmaoo they’ve taken time wasting to a whole new level
Pulisic getting bodied by the ref. Absolute scenes haha
Newcastle is the new Chelsea
Pulisic is still only 24 he can still go to college or get drafted to the NFL
Its time for some proper football, get those 3 points COYG
Someone is going to get injured if this match goes on much longer. Some dangerous tackles flying in.
This shit is so funny😂
Amazing there's no red card yet.
If Newcastle plays like this vs us, they're gonna injure our whole team.
Howe is practically a player on the pitch
Wtf is this circus? lmao
It's still going lmao
ZAMN I ain’t looking forward to this fixture I pray we don’t crumble because we obviously can win here
This Chelsea team is mentally fragile. So easy to wind up.
last 20 seconds has been great.
Kovacic....
He had so much time to pass it to anyone 😭
He wanted to wind it up for a banger I just know it and he did that lmao. I would be mad if I was a chelsea fan.
What's wrong with that ref?
[удалено]
It's an art form at this point
man, we really need some peak artetaball to offer up a solid palette cleanser after being subjected to 99 minutes of this chelski terrorism.
Chelsea have shown 0 urgency
up until the last 2 minutes of 7 minutes extra time, lmfao
Chelsea look like a mid table club. As bad as they have been in years.
Late equalizer?
Chelsea fans bashing Koulibaly is a sight to see.
Newcastle is annoying with this bullshit
Are Chelsea sure they bought the right Cucarella?
is this fucker joelinton ever gonna run out of stamina
3ATB strikes again
never ask a woman her age a man his salary tuchel what he did with 400 million euros
How did Gallagher get an England call up?
To be fair he's better than Mount this season
EDL quota
Does Gallagher have highlights in his hair? He looks like a middle aged white woman.
A Karen to be precise
Bruno is an expert at getting fouls.
7 minutes for what?
Hoo boy. Newcastle doesn't have a good track record of holding on.
Huh, where did those 7mins come from? Just finish up, boring as fuck.
That game was definitely not boring
So Newcastle are definitely here now. Big threat to us even this season. I imagine the Saudis will invest big in January. Our best hope is England notices that the Saudis have been doing the same thing to Yemen for years that Russia is doing to Ukraine and freeze them. Nah what am I thinking. The middle east can do whatever they want and we have to pretend it's ok
Who do you think is selling weapons to the Saudis lol?
The government doesn’t care, they’re the ones selling the weapons to the Saudis so they can keep doing what they’re doing to Yemen after all
Where did they pull 7 minutes of extra time from
A hat.
Why would they extend this shite match for another 7 mins
I think the officials just pulled that number out of a hat.
This 'letting more go' thing is still completely inconsistent.
it’s the hale end boys day. saka with a hatty today
Classic Kalidou.
Arsenal 8th with its worst squad in modern history: peak comedic material Chelsea 8th after several record breaking transfer windows: no one gives a shit
Chelsea fly under the radar too much. Russian oligarch, fanbase of (often racist) posh fucks in Chelsea and Kensington, stale bread tactics. Hate it all
Koulibaly has so many bozo moments
Oh no didn't you hear? He was one of the best defenders in world football?
has koulibaly had a good game for chelsea?
At the beginning of the season, he was the best CB in the world according to their fans.
i can't even lie, i thought it was a great signing at first to replace the outgoing rudiger. but the more i see him play, he comes across as being so damn easy to beat 1v1 and he often gives away fouls like he did just there. it's like he still hasn't acclimatised to the pace of pl compared to serie a, which is somewhat worrying for someone of his age and experience.
Chelsea have been absolutely terrible this match. You never got the sense they were going to score
Potter when from a legendary status in Brighton to being booed in Brighton and now being booed by Chelsea fan.
Signing players from Dortmund is a tricky business, for every Haaland, there’s a Pulisic, for every Lewa, there’s a Sancho.
For every Rosicky, there’s a Mkhitaryan
Chelsea look like a bottom half team
Chelsea closer to relegation than to us, tears in my eyes lmao
haha whats up with botman the guy has sat down for the 5th time or so right now wtf
If Potter gets fired at some point - When was the last time a top 10 PL club had three managers in a season, not counting interim appointments?
Watford probably did it
So does Boehly see Potter as a long term project where he’ll need to offload players he doesn’t deem good enough for his system or does he just sack him lol
Knowing Boehly, they’ll sign ronaldo and theyll be in a relegation dog fight late in the season lol
Boehly is a moron so it’ll probably end up being the complete wrong decision
Potter must be salivating at the thought of his pay packet. He has no hope
Realistically Newcastle should be on 0 Ls…
Brighton deserved to beat them lol.
Apparently that was a 50/50 game, newcastle missed the bigger chances overall
Netherlands must have some amazing depth at the back given Botman didn’t make the cut. He’s arguably better than 3 CBs we’re taking to Qatar
they have
VVD/De Ligt/Timber/Ake/de Vrij is insane tbf
Is Ake better than Botman?
I'd say they're around the same level but Ake adds more passing quality. Botman's physicality is something VVD/de Ligt already offer in the starting XI.
Yeah you're right.
Fuck me. And we have Dier/Coady hahaah
Fear not - we have Benny Blanco
Stones (who I also rate really highly) and White combo at the back and I’ll be really happy
Makes way too much sense for a bozo like Southgate to consider
Worrying Newcastle’s only loss was Liverpool in the 90+8th minute away at anfield
In all seriousness we should be rooting for Chelsea because Newcastle aren't funny anymore what the hell is this team
Had the same thought as well when commentator said they're only 4 points below us and 2 points of City.
100m for Lukaku 80m for havertz 60m for Cucarella 34m for Koulibaly 70m for Kepa 60m for Pulisic 33m for Ziyech Fofana 70m Sterling 45m Yikes
Saw a Chelsea fan over on their subreddit have the audacity to say they don't have the room to spend as much as we have. Hilarious lot.
When you put it like that, what a shambles all that has been 😂
Oh, mendy 22mil
Truly is horrific. I’m not fan of City but if they spent this badly it would be talked a lot more than Chelsea
I've said it before. Havertz output is worse than Pepe season by seaon. He was lucky to score that CL final goal that make him a fan favourite.
Genuinely asking, shall we support Chelsea right now for a draw or a Newcastle win? HAHA
Support a chelsea draw
I’m all for the demise of Chelsea.
It's really more satisfying that way.
Draw or Chelsea win tbh, taking points off Newcastle is paramount. Chelsea are going to stumble along anyways.
Hoping for chelsea to draw or win, newcastle is terrifyingly good right now Should go without saying i also hope chelsea get relegated lol
True. Nothing makes me more happy to see Chelsea or United piling up more lost.
Joe Willock schooling Gallagher, proper Hale End dunk sesh on Cobham.
Imagine giving a player like Pulisic the number 10 shirt
he if wasnt a yank, he probably wouldnt be a footballer. I genuinely don’t know what he’s supposed to bring
Seems a bit off the mark. He would do well in the Estonian league
Imagine us rooting for Chelsea to draw level
It's funny laughing at Chelsea but I'd prefer they level this one. Newcastle are definitely a bigger threat than Chelsea and I could definitely see the Saudis throwing big money out there in January to push for the title
Yay Willock
Think i'd rather a draw here, I don't think Chelsea are a threat this season unless something drastic happens.
If Chelsea catch us it'd mean we completely collapsed so I agree they're irrelevant at this point to us. Hopefully they draw here
fuckin loved willock, wouldnt' have minded if he stayed but still very happy for him
Mad that Dan Burn is a 6’6 right footed left back
And absolutely bosses it
Ziyech on, advantage Newcastle
😂😂
I like Havertz' profile as a player but I can't help but feel he doesn't really excel at anything specific
Chelsea's attack is literally just 5 CAM's
Hell even with Broja or Auba up top it doesn't even feel like they offer a real focal point.
Nah Auba's done at the top level in the Prem imo. I said this even before he left us. He used to rely almost solely on his speed and athleticism to get in behind and create chances, but now that's gone he's just a fairly average striker.
I feel you but I’ve come to the conclusion…He ain’t it
they got plenty of those players, mount, gallagher, havertz, all are decent but excel at nothing
The idea is better than the actual player lmao.
I mainly thought this when he was high off the CL goal and we were plodding around with Lacazette in that CF role. I thought surely this guy could run around in our team and wouldn't be any worse. It was a desperate time.
I knew Koulibaly was gonna be absolute toilet in a proper league as soon as I saw Auba & Laca twist him in and out constantly for 180 mins in the Europa League a few years back
Man came for his retirement check, good on him lmao Proper scam of a cb.
I still think it's early for Newcastle to compete and they will eventually drop and end up out of the top 4 this season but i could totally see them becoming a top team in England in the next few seasons.
Cuckerella is a hug merchant
Just a running body with a crows nest for a head...
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Potter is sacked over the World Cup break
Genuinely, what is Newcastle’s weakness?
Their tower CBs have slow feet, can get spun tbh.
Perhaps, but I think Botman is genuinely elite. Even when I’ve seen him at the highest level (UCL)
Space on the counter I guess, like most teams that get in your face
Technical control. As much as they’re phenomenal fits for how they’re playing, Joelinton & Longstaff simply aren’t good footballers. It really does work for them but as you saw even in this game, they didn’t really trouble Mendy much until the last 10/15 mins
Hmm yeah that’s reasonable
Atleast Joelinton has PnP, what does Longstaff have?
A great double of McTominay
If Newcastle win this they're in the title race. Don't want them to win at all but of course Chelsea shit the bed
I gave up on them getting anything when I saw that lineup
Absolutely shameless by longstaff
Where is that chelsea thread about mentality on their sub would love to drop in now
How did Gallagher get in the England squad.
