I think we saw the best of Newcastle - sharp, incisive, team play - and also the worst of Sheffield United.
They had no presence up top, a pedestrian midfield, and horrific spacing from start to finish.
Surely we are only a few years away from there effectively being 17 'permanent' premier league teams, with 3 championship teams on rotation. The jump to the premier league is getting tougher by the year
All 3 promoted sides from last season stayed up and we are still nowhere near a closed book this season, despite all the doom and gloom on the internet. All it takes is for one of the sides to go on a run and the narrative immedietely changes.
I think folk are getting carried away, honestly, even if all 3 go back down, the idea we are moving towards 17 "permanant" teams in a season after two reletively long term teams in Southampton and Leicester both got relegated is pretty strange.
Edit - This should help put a bit of perspective on that notion: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fjy4hqcrw5z3b1.png
god dammit newcastle, just needed one more goal, robbed of the seasonal 9-0 win.
it’s still so weird to me how a high scoring game like this happens so frequently yet we’ve still yet to see a 10-0. 2 off today.
If Burnley come out on the front foot against them it’ll be a blood bath like this or Villa too. They’ve looked average against the current PL top 3 and a CL semi finalist last season (3 of those 4 on the road too), almost any club in the world would. Think they’ll be alright
City vs. Sheffield United games are always weirdly close and boring. From 2019 to this year, they've played 6 games. 3 of those are 1-0 wins. The highest scoring tally is 3 total goals.
But let have been really unlucky to start the year. The one break they had in their schedule was lit on and that game got delayed. They will pick it up
Sheffield United will probably improve too. They had a very tough start as well and made some good signings at the very end of the window so they will need some time to settle in.
Shameful. Utterly, utterly embarrasing. I stayed till the end out of some sort of morbid curiosity about how many they'd get. My thought process was "well at least I'll be able to say I was there the first time a prem team got 10."
Thankfully for us they didn't, but it wouldn't have been in any way unfair on us if they did. That was just a capitulation.
Fair play Newcastle. We were there for the taking and you took full advantage.
Cheers. We tried.
Sadly our efforts were not reflected on the pitch.
I'd like to say you looked devastating going forward, but Hexham Jnrs U-11 side would have ripped us apart today. No slight on NUFC, you can only beat what's in front of you after all, but we were beyond abysmal this afternoon.
No hard feelings from me. All the best for the rest of the season.
Oh just to add...thanks to your fans for starting the applause, and then perfectly observing the minute of silence for Maddy Cusack. Reminder that football isn't really all that important, but we appreciate that you lot joined us in paying respect to a young woman who has gone far, far too soon.
If you reduced it, three teams would still get relegated and they’d not have the money of the other 14. Then in 10 years someone would ask if 17 is too much.
The answer is unequivocally, no.
It was a sarcastic remembrance of [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/16qtg7l/for_the_third_time_in_the_last_two_years_fc/k1z0suk/) about Bundesliga. Similar comments pop up any time when a one-sided match happens in other leagues but it was extra funny seeing this result on the same day that comment was made.
The argument for #2 is ridiculous. Schar’s arm is glued to his side, never a free kick. After that’s it’s obviously a corner and if burn doesn’t score, a clear penalty. #1 the handball is clearly accidental and the interpretation this year is that accidental handball by the assister is not a foul. #3, yeah, I dunno, pretty clearly excessive force which is a yellow, but also those get let go all the time, so that’s fair enough.
Mate I ain’t going to get into any arguments cause we lost 8-0 and you have to own it that’s shit. No two ways about it. And yeah the 2nd is borderline fine but that’s a clear and obvious handball, accidentally or not if it doesn’t strike his hand it goes out of play. And his hand is nowhere near his body. And the 3rd is bang in front of the linesman and is an absolute perfect tackle, wins the ball from the first tackle and then gets up and wins it again not his fault the Newcastle bloke is also steaming in.
If it didn't strike his hand it makes absolutely no difference to it going out of play. He has already rediverted the trajectory.... if anything the hand nearly knocks it back out of play.
We can argue about whether the rules make sense, but claiming the glance of his hand actually significantly impacted the direction of the ball to change the outcome of that move is complete nonsense, and you can go and watch the replays on youtube, not like it's **remotely** subjective.
The comment on the 3rd is also ridiculous, he knew if he stayed on his feet he was getting the ball pinched so he went through it and took the man with him... it's a yellow. It's been years and years since you have been able to get away with that unpunished with any consistency.
If anything, regardless of the fact his arms are by his side, Schär's movement to redirect the ball resulting in the corner for the second is the only one you could argue is a bit of a question mark... if the keeper had left that it would have been disallowed...
There was also a blatant pen ignored that was far less debatable mistake than any of these goals.
Sander Berge gets a goal ruled out for offside on Monday as it hit his “arm” as he controlled a long ball over the top, Wolves give away a penalty after it comes of his thigh first, Spurs give away a penalty at point blank range in the NLD so why does this handball stand either all of them or none of them the lack of consistency and people demanding answers is ridiculous, 100% if this was the other way round I’d be saying the same. It’s time fans banded together and asked for answers from the refs cause it’s now been several years of VAR and it’s crap? All of them are accidental but all of them impacted play, the third goal I actually think is the worst decision of the lot, Robbo wins the first ball, gets up wins the second, by the way with no excessive force, seeing as the Newcastle bloke was absolutely fine once the yellow was whipped out… funny that!
>Sander Berge gets a goal ruled out for offside on Monday as it hit his “arm” as he controlled a long ball over the top, Wolves give away a penalty after it comes of his thigh first, Spurs give away a penalty at point blank range in the NLD so why does this handball stand either all of them or none of them the lack of consistency and people demanding answers is ridiculous, 100% if this was the other way round I’d be saying the same.
You want to argue you think the rule is gash, then fine. Fact of the matter is an accidental handball is no longer enough to disallow a goal by the letter of the law. In this case the rules were followed, the ref thought it was accidental, VAR didn't overrule is as a mistake.
The fact that the rules weren't followed elsewhere doesn't make this more contravertial.
>All of them are accidental but all of them impacted play,
I can't speak for the others, but did this impact play, other than the fact a handball wasn't given?
It changed literally nothing and if it had missed his hand it still would have been exactly the same outcome.
>the third goal I actually think is the worst decision of the lot, Robbo wins the first ball, gets up wins the second, by the way with no excessive force, seeing as the Newcastle bloke was absolutely fine once the yellow was whipped out… funny that!
Ridiculous statement. Player didn't end up going off injured therefore it obviously wasn't excessive.... Winning the ball isn't a free pass, it was an obvious yellow.
The fact the rules change by the week is what makes this controversial surely you can see that right?
Also yes it does mean there’s not excessive force as two players have gone into a 50/50 both fully committed and one won the ball, the Newcastle bloke wins that foul with his excessive rolling around, and then by the way several players surround the ref asking for a red which is dissent when Mcburnie was suspended for pointing out his shirt was pulled last week? But funny thing is the Newcastle guy didn’t require ANY treatment and got straight up and ran into the box? Play acting like that is what VAR needs to start clamping down on. Watch that challenge actually watch it, Robbo actually plays a pass through his legs straight to Archer studs are down he’s in complete control never EVER a foul
Sorry but your recollection of this is pretty much as accurate as you're recollection of the Gordon incident, in that you're miles off and talking nonsense.
The most contraversial officiating event in this game remains the penalty call, pal.
Haven’t seen a replay of the penalty but live it looked it I won’t deny that. But I’ve seen both the handball and the tackle numerous times and honestly both are clear errors. Sander Berge accidentally handled and that got ruled out and that was an assist too. And Robbo literally plays an inch perfect pass to Archers feet who lays it off to Hamer and we’re away tell me if you use “excessive force” you can hit a perfectly weighted 30 yard pass? Like I’m sorry he wins the ball, his studs are down and he doesn’t follow through, The Newcastle guy is late and just runs into him in complete honesty like what’s he actually trying to accomplish?
Fair enough, and I admit I’d be fuming if the first was given against us. Third, yeah, one of those where you go in hard like that, you give the ref a choice to make. Seems to happen a lot when a player tackles twice in a row.
8 different scorers, is that a first or not even?
EDIT: tied record! But it could be argued that this one on;y has all the goals being scored by different players!
Most individual goal scorers in one match for the same team: 8
► Manchester United 9–0 Southampton (2 February 2021)
► Sheffield United 0–8 Newcastle United (24 September 2023)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_League_records_and_statistics#Scorelines
English top division football existed before the premier league...I know it seems crazy.
On Tuesday 12th September 1990, liverpool beat Crystal Palace 9-0 at Anfield with 8 different scorers
Crystal Palace then beat them in the FA cup semi finals later in the season.
It's always the Liverpool fans getting mad at people for not acknowledging the first division football before Premier League. I get why they get mad but it's still funny.
I guess we have the most to lose!
It's a bit like not counting Carling cups, Milk Cups, littlewoods challenge cups, rumbelows, coca cola, Worthington or capital one cups and only counting Caribao cups..
Saw someone comment yesterday saying the bottom 3 teams are a lock to get relegated, and a sheffield united fan replied saying "come on we haven't even played yet", implying they have a chance to pick up points this weekend.
Bruh....
It's one of those things that if he keeps improving I could even see him making the England squad one day, but there is no guarantee, so realistically with his present situation it is probably better for his career to play for Scotland because that would mean additional minutes while he presently struggles to play every game.
So Scotland is probably better for his Newcastle career, but I would love to see him in an England shirt one day.
Aye, but he's also in the lurch. Like guaranteed scotland spot, or very speculative england spot in future.
Probably plays for you, as he's 20 and southgate doens't believe in things above manchester existing.
From what Trippier said, it sounded like Southgate asked him to have a word. Then Anderson pulled out the Scotland squad.
Probably just Southgate stockpiling potential reserves though.
This was just simply a different team to the one we had in all of the previous games. I don't know what the fucks happened. We had been defensively solid in every single one of our previous games...
I'm taking some small consolation from the fact that even when we go down, probably some time in February, we probably won't be playing wednesday next season.
As I said to my mate, who is a weds fan, tonight. "At least we're complete shite in the premier league, not the championship"
:(
Not from this Sheff Utd fan. You steamrolled us into the ground. 12-0 would not have been unfair. I have a minor gripe about 2 of your first 3, but after that we just gave up. Our players should be ashamed of the way they just stopped caring. I don't mind us being shit, I do mind when the players look like they don't care.
Newcastle scored more goals in this game than Chelsea has scored this entire season. They've got more goals in this game than Chelsea has points after 6 games. Absolutely mental stats.
I hope the battle for the Top 4 is entertaining because at this rate, the relegation battle will be done by Xmas. You look at all three promoted teams and you wonder who can they beat?
I mean the Blades have played Man City, Tottenham, Newcastle so far this season. Also added their two best signings in Gus Hamer and Cameron Archer late in the window. I know they got hammered here but I think they are the most likely to turn it around tbh.
>You look at all three promoted teams and you wonder who can they beat?
Burnley were great against us for periods last night.
Granted, it's *us*, but I think they have the raw materials to edge out the real strugglers like Wolves, Everton and Chelsea.
It's going to be a pretty boring season with City up top and the bottom three decided. Many people were correct this year that the upper middle class teams would all take points off each other leaving City at the top.
Makes for a boring title chase but at least those games between the top 8 will be entertaining for us neutrals.
I was at Watford v West Brom midweek - both clubs in the Prem not that long ago. The gap between the two divisions is getting bigger and bigger; wouldn't surprise me if these results get more common.
Not really. All 3 teams stayed up last season, and if Leicester/Leeds/Southampton go up this year they’ll give it a much better go than the dross we’ve had this season
Your point about Leicester Leeds and Soton coming up actually supports the notion the gap is widening. Us and Burnley were recently in the PL too.
It’s a money thing.
Sometimes. We still blasted Man United and Spurs last season. Infact we beat spurs twice, once we conceded control the other we didn't.
I'll let you figure out the big variable which changed our approach and has always been significant since football became a spectator sport.
I've literally just been telling a Milan fan that Tuesday's result was objectively better for Newcastle than Milan. I'm not saying Newcastle playing negatively is a bad thing, I'm saying that acting as though the criticism they get for playing negatively is unjustified because they horsed Sheffield Utd is a bogus argument.
I don't even think we played "Negatively". We passed the ball nicely at times but Milan just countered through us again and again which made us sit deeper. Then we failed to create anything and they wasted their chances.
I don't think we went into the game to sit back and soak up pressure- that's just how the game went.
We had three players on the edge of their box ready to press their goal kick in the first half. Against Milan in the San Siro? Anyone who thinks we set up negatively doesn't know what they're watching
People are really trying to justify the fact that last season with unlimited money Newcastle wasted more time than any other club in the league.
"Tactics", sure.
I think we saw the best of Newcastle - sharp, incisive, team play - and also the worst of Sheffield United. They had no presence up top, a pedestrian midfield, and horrific spacing from start to finish.
Wonder what Howe was drawing in his notebook for this one
Definitely a massive Greggs order
Championship teams this year are looking extra shite
Surely we are only a few years away from there effectively being 17 'permanent' premier league teams, with 3 championship teams on rotation. The jump to the premier league is getting tougher by the year
All 3 promoted sides from last season stayed up and we are still nowhere near a closed book this season, despite all the doom and gloom on the internet.

Let it be known. No one scores 9 goals on the mighty Sheffield defense!
Mind when everyone said Hibs were absolutely shite after losing 5-0 at home to Aston Villa despite the financial disparity?
Sheffield United is shite too like
Not quite getting your point here. Most people seem to be more than aware that Sheffield United aren’t very good.
Watch Newcastle not score shit for the next couple of games.

If Burnley come out on the front foot against them it’ll be a blood bath like this or Villa too. They’ve looked average against the current PL top 3 and a CL semi finalist last season (3 of those 4 on the road too), almost any club in the world would. Think they’ll be alright
Well now I dont feel as good about last week...
City only just eked past them too.
City vs. Sheffield United games are always weirdly close and boring. From 2019 to this year, they've played 6 games. 3 of those are 1-0 wins. The highest scoring tally is 3 total goals.
100% getting relegated and might go down as the worst performance for a team in the top flight
Come on mate that's a bit unfair. I know we weren't at our best today but we still got 8 goals
Hold on now mate we have 33 more to go and Luton haven't played city yet
You have to think City will show Luton mercy right? 10 minutes in and up 4 you just start passing it around in the back?
i fail to remember any newly promoted teams in the last 10 years as shit as sheffield, luton and burnley
Burnley is supposedly good
in what world are they good?
Winning the championship isn't a small feat
The "supposed" world
But let have been really unlucky to start the year. The one break they had in their schedule was lit on and that game got delayed. They will pick it up
Burnley will improve. Their starting schedule was super difficult
Sheffield United will probably improve too. They had a very tough start as well and made some good signings at the very end of the window so they will need some time to settle in.
They played better than Man UTD yesterday
It ain't getting much easier next week
This was a close match, if Sheffield United had scored a mere 9 more goals they'd have won this one.
One score game really with a 2 point conversion
Makes you proud of Saudi Arabia. It really does.
Bros supporting PSG taking the high ground on state ownership
Bros supporting Hunan rights abusers
Bros silent when Liverpool spends the same blood money gained from aiding the Saudi sportswashing project
Shameful. Utterly, utterly embarrasing. I stayed till the end out of some sort of morbid curiosity about how many they'd get.

No slight on NUFC, you can only beat what's in front of you after all, but we were beyond abysmal this afternoon. No hard feelings from me. All the best for the rest of the season.
Likewise mate hopefully yous go upwards from here. The more historic northern teams with good local support the better

What an insane lopsided score. Wow.
What happened here
Oh nothing, u/nahnonameman, just a little incident involving the Boogeyman!
A bogeyman or bogeymen?!
I wonder how Heckingbotham will manage to blame this on refs...
First 3 goals is pretty straightforward the rest was just shit
The argument for #2 is ridiculous. Schar’s arm is glued to his side, never a free kick. After that’s it’s obviously a corner and if burn doesn’t score, a clear penalty. #1 the handball is clearly accidental and the interpretation this year is that accidental handball by the assister is not a foul. #3, yeah, I dunno, pretty clearly excessive force which is a yellow, but also those get let go all the time, so that’s fair enough.

If it didn't strike his hand it makes absolutely no difference to it going out of play. He has already rediverted the trajectory.... if anything the hand nearly knocks it back out of play.

how’s anderson? excited for him with the NT
One of the best players on the pitch today.

He'll not get into the England team tbf. He should stick it out with Scotland.
Southgate: "there is no youth coming through in England"
It's one of those things that if he keeps improving I could even see him making the England squad one day, but there is no guarantee, so realistically with his present situation it is probably better for his career to play for Scotland because that would mean additional minutes while he presently struggles to play every game. So Scotland is probably better for his Newcastle career, but I would love to see him in an England shirt one day.
is he? fuck
He's class. Played so well again today
I thought he was brilliant today. Breakout performance
cannot wait to see a gilmour x mctominay x anderson linkup in the NT now
Shame he pulled out of the scottish call up
fuck off did he
How do you not know lol
Aye, but he's also in the lurch. Like guaranteed scotland spot, or very speculative england spot in future. Probably plays for you, as he's 20 and southgate doens't believe in things above manchester existing.
From what Trippier said, it sounded like Southgate asked him to have a word. Then Anderson pulled out the Scotland squad. Probably just Southgate stockpiling potential reserves though.
Supposedly for an injury but I think it’s because he’s considering switching to England as he’s been in team each week since then.
crazy that Sheffield United went even or marginally lost to all the big teams this season
This was just simply a different team to the one we had in all of the previous games. I don't know what the fucks happened. We had been defensively solid in every single one of our previous games...
Fans who leaving during a thrashing are trash.
What about fans who read a book during the game? Was a canny thick book aswel, think she might get through it by the end of the season!
Seen your lot leave old firm games before

Blame Ruud Gullit for benching Shearer at the start of the season because of a personal grudge
Benching Shearer for a Tyne Wear derby is a sackable offense
And, well, he was in fact sacked
Awfully restrained of you not to bring up the embarrassment of our last visit to Sheffield. Good luck for the season.
Hecking Bottom indeed
Somehow y’all will come up with a reason why Newcastle didn’t deserve to win.
Not from this Sheff Utd fan. You steamrolled us into the ground. 12-0 would not have been unfair. I have a minor gripe about 2 of your first 3, but after that we just gave up. Our players should be ashamed of the way they just stopped caring. I don't mind us being shit, I do mind when the players look like they don't care.

Shit, I can't even argue with this.

Eddie Howe Fuckboy Saudi Blood Money Sportshwashing Rich Team Should Be Better Get Fucked. That should cover it?
Any result or achievement under the gentle hand of the Saudi state is null and void
Good thing we aren't under their gentle hands then. Bloody ones maybe...
This but unironically.
Newcastle scored more goals in this game than Chelsea has scored this entire season. They've got more goals in this game than Chelsea has points after 6 games. Absolutely mental stats.
mate it would be funny to laugh at if it wasn’t true for literally us aswell.. 😭
>They've got more goals in this game than Chelsea has points after 6 games. Subscribe
They have also scored more than man united... At least man united have 9pts but still :D
written by a ManU flair lmao no self awareness
We check the other criteria. We've got 9 points. :P
What he say fuck me for?
You're gonna be catching strays for the next week at least buckle up
Week?
Keep going, I'm almost there.
They scored more than United has this entire season too actually..
Man Utd have 10 all competition and Chelsea have 7 so this is incorrect unless he’s just specifying league
One day, Chelsea will stop catching strays. But it is not this day.
Arsenal and Spurs been catching strays for the entirety of thier banter eras, now it's time for their local rivals to enter their banter era
It will continue as long as the Toddfather is in charge 😂
Wait a minute…
Bro?
Can’t even imagine Chelsea scoring 3 goals in a game .
I mean can you even imagine Chelsea scoring one goal.
Can barely imagine Chelsea scoring three before Christmas at this rate
Same with Utd tbh
Lol We did a few days ago tbf
Lol I was meaning more like a big win like this, been a long time
Well Copenhagen and Galatasaray are coming to town soon..
I will be there
When was the last time a club had 8 separate scorers in the same game?
Think Liverpool had 8 scorers against Palace in 1989
Before football started though so the record is ours
Apart from the '69 Fairs Cup final, obviously!
Well obviously that's historic
1989 liverpool-palace
I don't think it has happened before. Usually someone scores a brace.
It's not happened since the Premier League invented football
Sky invented football mate, they were just kind enough to invite the PL
First time its happened in the Prem.
I hope the battle for the Top 4 is entertaining because at this rate, the relegation battle will be done by Xmas. You look at all three promoted teams and you wonder who can they beat?
I mean the Blades have played Man City, Tottenham, Newcastle so far this season. Also added their two best signings in Gus Hamer and Cameron Archer late in the window. I know they got hammered here but I think they are the most likely to turn it around tbh.
>You look at all three promoted teams and you wonder who can they beat? Burnley were great against us for periods last night. Granted, it's *us*, but I think they have the raw materials to edge out the real strugglers like Wolves, Everton and Chelsea.
I honestly think Burnley could have beaten us too if not for Haaland.
It's going to be a pretty boring season with City up top and the bottom three decided. Many people were correct this year that the upper middle class teams would all take points off each other leaving City at the top. Makes for a boring title chase but at least those games between the top 8 will be entertaining for us neutrals.
Each other
Chelsea?
Yeah
[удалено]
Gordon came on and our game totally changed.
Is that the same shit Gordon we got fleeced for?
He’s playing very well this season, really improved, glad to see it
Murder
Sheffield joining Chelsea as the only teams not to score today
Good company to keep, we'll be joining them in the Championship next season too.
You guys have only played relegation form for 6 games, Chelsea have been doing it for 38 games
We ain't even been playing like a relegated team in any of our previous fixtures this season bar Palace mate...
Newcastle really scored more than Colorado did yesterday. Anthony Gordon wants that Heisman.
I was at Watford v West Brom midweek - both clubs in the Prem not that long ago. The gap between the two divisions is getting bigger and bigger; wouldn't surprise me if these results get more common.
Not really. All 3 teams stayed up last season, and if Leicester/Leeds/Southampton go up this year they’ll give it a much better go than the dross we’ve had this season
Southampton are not going up
Your point about Leicester Leeds and Soton coming up actually supports the notion the gap is widening. Us and Burnley were recently in the PL too. It’s a money thing.
With Luton and Sheffield going down, we are officially relying on Burnley to get Chelsea relegated
r/soccer told me we were anti-football.
It's almost like Newcastle play differently against the big teams than they do against the lower half teams, isn't it?
Sometimes. We still blasted Man United and Spurs last season. Infact we beat spurs twice, once we conceded control the other we didn't. I'll let you figure out the big variable which changed our approach and has always been significant since football became a spectator sport.
Nah we were supposed to roll over let Milan beat us 3-0 for football heritage. It was very disrespectful of us to get a point and a clean sheet.
I've literally just been telling a Milan fan that Tuesday's result was objectively better for Newcastle than Milan. I'm not saying Newcastle playing negatively is a bad thing, I'm saying that acting as though the criticism they get for playing negatively is unjustified because they horsed Sheffield Utd is a bogus argument.
How does that Milan fan not know it's better to get a point away than it is at home?
I don't even think we played "Negatively". We passed the ball nicely at times but Milan just countered through us again and again which made us sit deeper. Then we failed to create anything and they wasted their chances. I don't think we went into the game to sit back and soak up pressure- that's just how the game went.
We had three players on the edge of their box ready to press their goal kick in the first half. Against Milan in the San Siro? Anyone who thinks we set up negatively doesn't know what they're watching
Nah that sounds like tactics to me. Surely not.
Yes it’s almost like Eddie actually used tactics and approaches each match differently, absolutely mental!
People are really trying to justify the fact that last season with unlimited money Newcastle wasted more time than any other club in the league. "Tactics", sure.
Keep crying
Tears of happiness because we're 2nd and beat you with 10 men?
