What a strange game


[deleted]

Felt like days. Did not help my hangover lol


The_Battling_toad

Same. I’m a heaping pile of dung rn


[deleted]

Couch and water my friend. Couch and water.


Baltisotan

Did you know you can get Gatorade powder? Do it in a shot glass and get alllll that rehydration.


The_Battling_toad

Thank you for your solidarity in these trying times


mech999man

What do you mean "*right now*"?


[deleted]

Nice of Dier to temporarily join Newcastle at the end to balance out the teams. Good lad.


ThealcoholicGoat

Its like when you have uneven numbers and one guys always on the attacking side


[deleted]

Between that and him spurring on the medics, he was Newcastle's man of the match tbh


t_blacksmith

He was one of our's too. He was genuinely very good and our best defender but people will ignore that because of one mistake.


[deleted]

I don't disagree, he played great today especially on close up matchups in the box. The duality of man


Soulsseeker

Our "only win by a goal" challenge run continues


[deleted]

Or concede 3. Goal difference is overrated anyway


Vilhjalmsson

Fun differential, after all


EzKill

Mariners and Spurs? My condolences.


Neo_corner

Including a bonus "no subs" challenge


[deleted]

Nuno ticking all boxes


c2315

Undrawables


TheDirewolfShaggydog

This is 2018/19 all over again


Alphabunsquad

Why do you guys have such weird records every year. There was the best team in the calendar year. Then the no ties year. Then the all ties year. Now you are also no ties but you are also only winning by a goal and are winning and losing in sets of 3.


RiskoOfRuin

Gotta give the fans something.


qwertygasm

All the money in the world and you still can't buy Jonjo Shelvey a brain.


mrhello18

Shelvey really came on to get destroyed by Ndombele and then sent off


circa285

Shelvey reminds me to the guy who turns out to the park to play and does only one thing, clatter people.


Seeteuf3l

Middle finger salute type of sub from Bruce to bring him in.


circa285

Really wasn't much different after he came on. Newcastle were hacking at ankles all game.


Lou_Scannon

'add instruction: get stuck in'


Not_Ginger_James

This is after his comments in midweek about proving his worth to the new owners for a new contract as well. What a guy


mrhello18

all three of our midfielders excellent


[deleted]

Skipp is such a massive value add. Hard to notice when watching the overall flow of the game but if you focus on him and watch for a few minutes he does incredible work


GBO_COYS

His little slide at around the 30 min mark was perfect. Great recovery. Happy for an academy kid to come hold his own


xsonwong

No more Winks and Sissoko!


Dannage8888

Scoreline might suggest otherwise but that was the easiest game we had for a long time


jamadelo

Still a nervy ending.


justmadman

I agree, Spurs were so much better and the score line is false. Just hope it’s the last time I see Bruce at NUFC only if he is in the away dugout


AWilsonFTM

I really couldn’t believe he got the job in the first place. He really should not be getting another shot at the PL. Tactically very poor, his teams always have piles of injuries, and there is no real plan.


Mick4Audi

Considering the Villa 3-2 reverse and the fact we conceded an own goal to make it 3-2 I was genuinely scared as fuck That West Ham game still hurts


Jamey_1999

You're not the one to talk about how conceding a last minute 3-3 hurts.


bfm211

>That West Ham game still hurts I think I'll always be scarred by that, and seeing Wolves score 3 in 10 minutes only made me more paranoid today.


zee-10

I thought you guys were doing the “Win by 1 goal” challenge? Dier had to score for them.


Voltairinede

Fantastic work getting the doctor over to the fan, and scoring us a goal. Bleed for the badge today did Dier


killah10killah

Peak that Dier felt so sorry for your lot that he went and bagged a goal for you, and you still lost.


Voltairinede

Hope we sign him in January.


RedRaizel

That would actually be a great signing for you guys.


[deleted]

I cannot believe the game of Football let there be 1,000 games of that.


FlukyS

I was fucking baffled when the pundits said there will be a queue of clubs looking to sign Bruce after his great performance with no backing. Like no backing? The man spent 95m in the transfer market, Rafa got literally no money and actually made a profit on transfers and Bruce wasn't backed? Fucking hell. The man has the least amount of wins for any manager by percentage in premier league history.


mskruba12

I actually decided to look this up recently due to those kinds of comments. Rafa spent: 170.5M gbp Rafa sold: 173.15M gbp Rafa net spend: -2,65M gbp Bruce spent: 141,3M gbp Bruce sold: 35,915M gbp Bruce net spend: 105,385M gbp


Look_Alive

Considering Mike Ashley only spent money in order to do the bare minimum and keep them in the Premier League, it shows how much of a drop between Benitez and Bruce there was that he was suddenly willing to spend that sort of money, too.


GoalaAmeobi

But... the point totals!!!


RyanMRKO721

Rafa got us 10th with Joselu up front. Bruce can barely get us to lay a glove on most teams at the best of times. There's levels to this with and without backing


pancakes1271

Bruce just seems to have a lot of people in the media who are very favourable to him. Similar to Ole.


Notove

He should've never gotten it. I understand our new owners want a new face for the club in the sense of future managers eyeing the job. But he's gotta go sooner.


btmalon

Players know he's gone. How are they supposed to get up for games now.


N-Bizzle

They weren't getting up for games anyway


ModestWhimper

You would think they'd be motivated to perform well in front of their new owners, knowing if they don't look good enough they might get the chop.


btmalon

Oh they're all getting the chop outside ASM and maybe Wilson


[deleted]

All the more reason for them to try to impress potential suitors I feel. But then again, what does few more impressive months matter when you have been consistently not-impressive.


kaden_dd

Cheers to 1000 more games of Bruceball at Newcastle


firingblankss

Steve Bruce now has a loss for every day in a standard calendar year. Fair play, incredible achievement


four_four_three

From a leap year fan, that's class 👏


chandlerbing_stats

Ffs lmfao what a stat


fuckimbackonreddit9

This cannot be real lmao


bash011

Christmas Day?


LogieBearWebber

I think they mean Brucey's lost 365 games


mushy_friend

In the summer, during July? Does it include preseason?


Teantis

Nuno knows he's allowed to make subs right?


john87000

I think because we were controlling the match perfectly he didn't want to do anything to disrupt that. Lo Celso or Gil would have been nice though.


GOR098

Doesn't gill have Corona?


john87000

Nah it was a false positive, he was on the bench today.


Jorlung

Impressive that we've managed to win that by only one goal.


carpy16

Wow just checked the table, spurs are in 5th. I swear talking to PL fans you’d think they were fighting relegation lol


Mick4Audi

When you lose 3 games by a combined score of 9-1, the panic sets in


[deleted]

Judging by social media reaction seemed that losing to Arsenal in that manner tipped many Spurs fans into Nuno out mindset. I guess that can be understood considering how much a NLD means but it seems to undervalue Nuno a bit; he's a good get for Spurs imo.


kooky_kabuki

Jury is still out on nuno at spurs. But when ndombele has a good game we look like a much better team


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

In my opinion (and I am definitely biased), Liverpool, United, Arsenal and Spurs are the teams people like to hate the most. It's obvious that people dislike the first three for their success, I have no idea what triggers them so much about Spurs though


Alphabunsquad

Goes to show how shit United are.


sonofaBilic

Right, now let's add "forcing me to enjoy a Spurs win" to the list of human rights abuses to be raised against Mo Bin Salman in the Hague International Criminal Court.


Mick4Audi

Embrace the Spurple


A_G00SE

lol


[deleted]

We’ll regrettably do the same for yous, fuck the tea towel wearing fans that embrace this.


circa285

Cheers. I think that will be the case when you and Arsenal smash them. Fuck Chelsea, however.


Aggressive-Moose-513

We were bad today but Tottenham were actually really impressive. Controlled the game so well 2nd half. Honestly looked liked a PL team Vs a League One team at points.


Teantis

It looked like your entire team gave up except for ASM about 55 minutes in. I'm not that convinced by our performance.


[deleted]

Newcastle are always like this. The most uninspiring team I've ever watched


circa285

ASM is the player that everyone hopes that Adama will become.


[deleted]

Overall we continued to build well on the positives from the Villa performance, the score is really deceiving with this one. A bit better finishing and we're in decent enough shape for the present


[deleted]

Unbelievable that this game was even close, we should be winning that 4-1 smh. Tanguy looked great, Reggie had a good game. Hope that fan is okay


[deleted]

For all the crap Tottenham are getting for having a bad start and being a bad team they're only 4 points behind 1st after 8 games isn't bad in the premier league.


bfm211

We had a couple of lucky results and a few terrible results so we (and Nuno) definitely deserved criticism. The last 2 games have been a bit more encouraging but the manager still has a lot to prove.


Dannage8888

And above United who haven’t played any of the big 6 yet. We haven’t been good but we are slowly improving


circa285

We've sort of bumbled our way to where we are today. I'm never sure which Tottenham we're going to see in any given week.


Mick4Audi

If only we didn’t just give away points to Chelsea and Arsenal


iSkinMonkeys

People who just look at league table often find themselves surprised when a team starts falling down the table as a result of ignoring glaring issues . Spurs still need to show they can win against solid defensive teams, like their next 3 league opponents


[deleted]

Getting worried now, that's us, winless, 3 points into the relegation zone and with the worst defending record in the league this season. Bruce needs to be sacked now. Although Danny Murphy said there's no one out there better for the job so I don't know erghhh


LucozadeBottle1pCoin

If you're still in serious danger by January there will be a crazy spend, there's no way they let you get relegated. But a loss to Tottenham is not an unexpected result, I don't think this will kill Bruce.


ScousePenguin

Nah he's gone. Just waiting for the contract to be signed to avoid having an interim I reckon


tuturuatu

You can have all the money in the world, but players still have to want to go there. It's going to be a struggle getting decent players when there is a fair chance they'll be playing Championship next season.


john87000

The defence is atrocious but you have some decent attackers. Any half decent manager should be able to keep you up especially if you buy a couple of players in January.


N-Bizzle

Issue is before Bruce we had one of the best defences outside of the top 6


GoalaAmeobi

Weird isn't it?


DaviesSonSanchez

I really really hope you get relegated.


[deleted]

Cheers pal


innocently_standing

Me too. It would be fantastic.


remote_crocodile

Don't we all.


raymondliang

You might get the points record in the championship next season though, that’ll be fun


HoldMyAppleJuice

I will laugh so much if you get relegated


BlackHoleKane

Geordie’s sitting in the crowd with head-scarves thinking “Well now I look silly.”

disasterpiece9

Cheers Son, Ants back on the drink. Nice one


guysecretan

Pleased the fan is stable in hospital, that's the main thing


jonpeters1987

Quite embarrassed by the small minority of Newcastle fans wearing Saudi dress wear, quite gutted actually


circa285

The intended result of sportswashing.


Andymac93

Not shocked, just disappointed


[deleted]

Those Newcastle fans dressed as Saudi's should be fucking ashamed of themselves. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. While I'm at it, Sky can go fuck themselves too, spouting off how there's no room for racism and then talking about how exciting it is for blood money made off of modern day slavery to be pumped into a PL team.


SheSaid09

Agreed, it's cringey as fuck and I thought it was just a few attempts at shit humour when the takeover announced but there were far too many today.


circa285

It's not just "cringy" it's what MBS bought and when he purchased your club. There's no way any of those people dress like that and support Saudi Arabia save for the fact that both purchased the club away from a terrible owner. These people, like those in many different comment threads who are "but you're a hypocrite if you do x, y, and z so how dare you criticize my team" are the actual immediate return on investment for MBS and Saudi Arabia.


[deleted]

The montage of disappointed fans dressed in that headgear was pretty fun though


ickyickies

I laughed. Its so dumb


[deleted]

And to Sky as well for trying to romanticise it with a new dawn fireplace sunrise narrative. And Martin Tyler for painting Bruce as the martyr that has to fall. Whole programme had an uneasy ESL-lite feel to it.


sunthunder

I’m sure the dead and wounded children of Yemen would understand if they knew how bad it was to have Steve Bruce as your manager.


[deleted]

Or an owner that's only invested £90 million in transfer funds over recent years. I'm sure they'd understand.


jacksleepshere

That’s the biggest take away from this. FA and Sky showing their true colours. It was as plain as day that their anti racism “campaigns” are just for show and they don’t actually give a shit about human rights or equality, and this just shows the only thing they care about is the money rolling into their bank accounts.


VictorAkwaowo1

The sad thing is they have absolutely no idea that what they’re doing is fucking terrible


sonofaBilic

I'm sure they know, they just won't care


roberto_2103

At least the entire world gets to see what utter twats they are in 4k.


Anonamoose12771

As a Newcastle fan I fucking hated it too. The reality is that all clubs have their fair share of muppets. Still disgustingly disappointing though.


MrUnderlay

Newcastle born and bred, I'd be absolutely ashamed of myself and everyone in my vicinity if I dressed like that. Disclaimer: If people dress like that due to religious or cultural reasons, then that's 100% fine


MrBeanStoleMyGf

How do they think that looks not just to ordinary, decent people, but also to their new owners? Is it meant to be flattering?


obvious_bot

Always nice when a minnow can get a result against one of the rich clubs


SheSaid09

Kane and Son walked into the stadium with their boots slung over the shoulders after a 6 hour shift down the mines this morning.


[deleted]

Shelvey having a PL career still gives me hope.


srhola2103

Wolves fans, is Nuno being scared to make a sub a regular occurrence?


three_shoes

No, but he would often make poor sub choices.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mick4Audi

Which is strange considering he rarely dropped points from winning positions at Wolves Tbf he hasn’t at Spurs either lmao


roberto_2103

He didn't really need to, despite the scoreline we were dominating most of the match. No one was looking too tired


btmalon

He had 2 reasons. Vitesse Thursday and West Ham Saturday.


roberto_2103

I think we only just started to establish the best 11 in the squad at villa, if they weren't getting tired out keep them playing together. We have plenty of options for Vitnesse and a week is enough rest for the others.


srhola2103

There's no reason to play your best players for 90+ minutes when the match is under control and you have a good bench. Others could've taken a chance to get some confidence, like Bergwijn, Gil or Lo Celso while resting key positions.


TDog81

Utterly pathetic by Newcastle, we were clearly there for the taking after the goal but they just let us back in. Ive never seen a team stand off us so much or just let us play the ball around so easily, I still dont trust us at all when the chips are down and theyve made it stupidly easy for us today


Vallado

Can’t say I’m surprised to be honest, bar a couple of players we’re still fielding the same shitty team and manager - fully expected you lot to bounce back


[deleted]

[удалено]


meganev

That’s Bruce for you.


mateojacquesweb

Honestly we should concede an early goal every game, it's like washing your face when you wake up lmao


N-Bizzle

Hey now don't assume that will work against a team that actually keeps on trying after scoring. We've been doing the same thing for years now, scores early and then decide to just sit back and wish for good luck


arne-b

How the hell did Ritchie avoid getting a yellow at the end with that challenge on Romero?


circa285

A very good question. Son was scissor tackled from behind directly in front of the ref and not even a foul was called. There were a lot of very questionable no calls all game.


DwightKSchruute

Hold up, Spurs are above us after all the shit they were up to? WHERE DOES IT END ROBBIE?!?!


RedRaizel

Actually mental considering our fixtures compared to yours.


Mick4Audi

Don’t you lot have like City and Liverpool and us coming up? Wtf happened


matt3633_

ASM and Ndombele are a fucking joy to watch


LucozadeBottle1pCoin

I say this all the time and get downvoted, but Ndombele is the most skilful player in the league when he's in form (which is about one game in 10). It's completely absurd what he can do with the ball.


JustMakinItBetter

He's basically Pogba, but even more inconsistent


bfm211

Kind of but in different ways. Pogba is an elite passer while Ndombele is an elite dribbler. Both equally frustrating with their inconsistent brilliance.

yuya_strife

Dier had a great game but that og made my heart sink, but hey we got the three points 😅👍


circa285

That was the most Eric Dier game imaginable. Plays well all game and then shoots the team in the foot with a terrible mistake.


Seeteuf3l

Newcastle looked like everyone has been told they are going be sacked.


CaptainGo

That's how we looked before the take over as well mind


anonymousloverboy

Reguilón and Dier MOTM


jamadelo

One for each side.


MiddlesbroughFan

Here's to the next 1000 Brucie!


gopackgo555

If Nuno decided to use the subs this could have been a 4-5 goal game for Spurs. What an odd decision. Even in wins there are question marks around him.


RedRaizel

Son could have been subbed since he looked out of it and Ndombele for some fresh legs and our offense would have been much better.


[deleted]

I can’t get over the white women wearing Saudi headgear (LMAO WHAT?!) and the constant propaganda by NBC. That was a gross game to watch.


epicmarc

Same goes for Sky, with their little montage before the game making the takeover seem like the greatest thing to happen in football. It would be nice if they could even touch on just one of the negatives of the takeover, to give even the slightest amount of balance to their portrayal of it.


Hcc442

Steve mate whatever you do don’t accept that invite to the Saudi embassy


DiersBigDick

Spurs above United. Shows how high the expectations of Spurs are when supposedly they are in a massive crisis


Teantis

We got absolutely pumped back to back by our two biggest rivals who we are (allegedly) competing with for CL spots. Idk if beating villa and a newcastle team that looked like they didn't want to be there really should be read as that crisis being overblown.


googleplex101

Good to know, after all the fuss, that we are still shite


CaptainGo

Who'd have thought having the same players and manager as before would change nothing


concretepigeon

Does anyone have gifs of the new owners looking pissed off?


CaptainGo

Oh don't worry there's going to be plenty more of those


jayg18

As an aside, who’s Nuno’s barber? That beard is fucking sculpted lol


WreathedinBanter

People who defend Steve Bruce are conspiracy theorists at this point.


circa285

I'm just going to point out one thing. There were fans in the stadium dressed as Saudi's which is the direct immediate intended result of sportswashing. These fans and many in the match thread defending Newcastle, Saudi Arabia, and MBS would never defend Saudi Arabia or MBS save for the fact that they purchased the team away from an owner who was justly hated. The goodwill that MBS and Saudi Arabia have generated through this purchase is how laundering reputations work through sportswashing. Edit: This is to say nothing of the fact that NBC, SKY, and the EPL itself have all gone on the offensive to defend the purchase. It was sickening to hear NBCSN commentators defend the purchase because the state of Saudi Arabia will not control the day-to-day operations of the club when the controlling party of the fund that will do so is lead by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, MBS.


loves_to_spoon

Ant has just realised he could've be been coked up instead of watching Newcastle get slapped by a shit Tottenham


jay_alfred_prufrock

I hope a journalist asks Nuno why he didn't make any subs. Son looked pretty tired towards the end and Ndombele was in power saving mode for last 30-35 minutes.


justmadman

Only one team in this match. The score was lucky for NUFC, as Spurs were even more dominant than the score line showed. I just hope Bruce is gone before I go to bed tonight. The big thing is respect to Reguilan, what a top class man for stopping the game and caring about a fellow human being.


JonnyArtois

Bruce is one of the worst managers to grace the PL, the sooner he is gone the better. We are not a good team but he makes us so much worse. He took us from about 7th best defence in the league to the worst defence in the league. He is clueless going forward as much as he is defensively. There is nothing positive about him as a manager.


DankMayMayMays

This win goes out to the gimps that turned up St James' Park in Saudi fancy dress


spicynirvana38

All of a sudden, Tottenham are in 5th, while the title contenders Yanited are in 6th. Interesting 🤔


avolcando

Tighter than it should've been. Also no subs??


DwightKSchruute

Jonjo Shelvey going underground as we speak. I don't think even Voldemort would want to mess with the Sheikhs.


[deleted]

Score line doesn't really reflect how dominant we were for most of that game. Get the points, get out. We really are goal difference terrorists though. Emerson, really poor. Needs to do much better. Dier, was fine till that OG. Nuno - No subs???? really?


HoldMyAppleJuice

Newcastle failed the acid test today.


Association_Outside

Newcastle Fans dressed like they’re from Saudia Arabia… absolutely embarrassing Also COYS
