Newcastle United v Crystal Palace

[MidsMagpie]

Thiaw player of the season so far sublime player.

[toonviking]

Joelinton has been good. Hes defensive work is ***** for us.

[Zippity]

Oh, blimey...you've got to feel for Willock-that was some miss.

[toonviking]

How is possible to miss from there Willock!?

Shocking 🤣

[MidsMagpie]

Only defence he has only just come on.

[toonviking]

Good hold up play from Woltemade since he came on.

[Curian]

Nice to get another win Hopefully slowly turning it around.

[Zippity]

Yep. Wins build confidence.

Poor game overall but we definitely deserved the win and 2 nil was about right.

[toonviking]

It wasnt beautiful, but a fair win.

[Jammy89]

Good result.

Winning builds confidence and momentum.

Bench looked strong as well which is good for us going forward.

The eFans and Firestick warriors are quiet on social media tonight.

Not that folk can't have an opinion but some of the over the top anti-Eddie takes have been absolutely ridiculous.

Wor Flags had it right with their 'United' display.

Completely agree mate.

NUFC always start fast, scoring 2 goals in the first 10 against Burnley..

The lads have scored at least 5 goals in the first 15 mins of matches this season whilst being sh!t. Joint top this season with Leeds & City.

Premier League Goals in the First 15 Minutes

Leeds United - 5
Newcastle United - 5
Manchester City - 5
Manchester United - 4
Liverpool - 2

The same dude has been hyping Ireola or Glazner to take over. He's one of those banging on about Fabregas at Como too. He's also mentioned Xavi Alonso and Xavi.

Ireola and Glazner are proving that they struggle when their first team is injured or they have extra fixtures. People need to look over the fence at see the grass ain't greener.

Fabregas, could well become a great manager but he's 5 mins into his journey and won nothing. Eddie Howe has managed over 700 games across all 4 divisions of English football and raised up through all of them, conquering every challenge along the way.

Xavi Alonso is a Real Madrid, when they sack him, which they will, he'll go to a Bayern, Liverpool or Juventus. Possibly a Chelsea or PSG. He has no connection to NUFC and without doubt he'd have zero interest should he be offered the opportunity.

Xavi? Hilarious. Barcelona Legend training the lads at Benton on a freezing January afternoon. Give ya heed a wobble!

The real world is just a distraction to these citizens of Lalaland.

The better side through out Viking, absolutely not a classic but a definitely well deserved win. Palace were restricted to just 1 shot on target.

For all they huffed and puffed. Got into some good positions and had 26 touches in the home team box, it was pretty comfortable.

They had a couple of chance, That Ginger who bleaches his head white had a couple of chances. Ghosted in to the box for his 2nd miss wide of the post really well. That was a squeaky bum moment but it was the only real minute where the defence was a dangerously disjointed.

The lads picked up 2 points on the teams around them.



The Filth, Spuds, Bin Dips, Puddle Drinkers & Chelsea all dropped points drawing today.

The team need to just keep clawing and dragging themselves forward, picking up the points and hunting down the gap to 4th. Quietly going about their business, under the radar.

Up the Premier League we go!
