Shola Activity
Shelvey really needs to fuck off. I've never seen a player so visibly not try.
In the second half, Newcastle players actually stopped passing to him. Noticed they all seemed to be blanking him after the match as well.
TM has completed his independent inquiry into the situation, and has found that all refereeing decisions that benefited Huddersfield were indeed correct. Where as all refereeing decisions that adversely affected Huddersfield were not correct.
It's not exactly a rare occurrence.
Also if Man Utd pay £80m (or whatever) for Kane - he'll be absolutely box office regardless of if he's won anything or played well for England.
He'll be the new Gazza or Rooney and be the a...
The FA billions of dollars every season to keep Huddersfield down.
Calling players snakes is even more boring than calling players frauds.
Don't know imagine a lot will do with endorsements and such that will be inaccessible if they don't play in the CL or for a big club.
Like I imagine Alexis Sanchez probably has a much larger profile than if he for example went to PSG straight f...
In fairness the likes of Ozil and Sanchez will only come if they can get CL football....
So y'know, if Simeone/Benitez/Tuchel lands lets say Rakitic and Morata next year rather than their Europa League equivalents. And snarky people talk about how n...
Kante made Huth and Morgan a good centre half pairing - and made Drinkwater look much better.
He's incredible.
We didn't vote for Brexit, so Eurotrash can talk in KG.
I'm not happy with the results, lose tomorrow and we'll be right back in the mire. Our wage budget is probably bigger than Reading, Leeds and Huddersfield combined.
The performances have usually been dreadful, the tactics awful, and the players...
We've been shite. Bar the odd 20 minutes here and there.
Or Benitez is making excuses to cover his own bad decisions?
Though Ritchie was the fucking worst of them
Feel like in the summer Villa will sign Chris Martin for £8m, Rhodes to Derby for £9m and McCormack to Forrest for £6m. None of the clubs will be improved any.
Huddersfield, Brighton and Leeds the three outstanding Championship teams se...
F365 always bang on about about how nearly promoted sides - always focus on attack too much - and don't look to spend big money on defenders - When clean sheets tend to be the best way to stay up.
Championship sides seem to be really bad at this; S...
Rafa had no choice to put out the reserves!!!! Unlike the previous clowns / yes men who put out disgraceful teams against joke clubs like Watford who also finished above Newcastle

Knocked out by Mike Phelan's Hull and Oxford - I'm glad the Chronicle keep telling me how football man Benitez has brought back cup runs to Newcastle!
Reserves in the cup. Brilliant.
The local media praising Benitez for this, ffs.
Love Big Daz - really enjoyed his performance - as a focal point I think those around him really benefit from him. Perez was actually good today - I think he might just have no idea what to do when he's with Gayle. Hayden was much improved - didn...
Were his tactics not exactly the same as they've always been? - 4-4-1-1? Obviously didn't see the game. I'm absolutely ecstatic we actually put in a cross with a big lad who headed it in. Very little of that this season.
Disgusting that a...
“I have done my research on the teams relegated in the last few years.
“In 2011/12 nobody that got relegated came straight back up. In 2012/13 nobody came straight back up automatically out of the three relegated.
“One (QPR) came up in t...
WE'RE NOT PLAYING 4-4-1-1!!!!!!!
Big Mike giving us an additional £33m.
It's the tactics though. The players aren't supposed to go forward
Also seriously worried about the 'ambition' around the club - people genuinely upset about only finishing 10th now seemed to be resigned to being unable to compete wit...
This was all relevant when we were winning games - We were just lucky to eke them games out with no one really paying attention.
The Shelvey thing is an easy excuse - no other team has a 'creative' midfielder and goals still happen. We need pre...
Why not consider Bradley?
And are the 'Americans' even doing anything differently to what Jenkins has been doing for years?
They sold Gomis / Ayew / Williams in the summer seems to be the big problem? - but they've been doing that for yea...
Very concerned we're shit - like 90% of the time I've seen Newcastle this season...... like yeah maybe better than Brentford but like we'd get beat 9-0 off Burnley or Boro
Isaac Hayden would be up there with the Des Hamilton's of the...
Are you finally willing to admit he's good?
All Championship clubs and the FA live to hinder the Rafalution. As they are haters.
Seemed inevitable - though leaves Palace in a much better place than where he found them
Allardyce (or whoever) should keep Palace up with ease - especially a defensive minded coach as Dann and Tomkins have looked like jokes whenever I've seen them...
From the Newcastle Evening Chronicle
This 100%
Bring Andros home.
That was by far the best Newcastle have played all season. - Birmingham were ropey at the back - but no worse than a lot of the 'better' sides of this division.
Thought the fans were cunty though - Sarcastic cheering like it's Steve Kean e...
Excellent performance today - best of the season by a mile - a change of tactics and on the front foot
Isaac Hayden looked like a proper footballer today, Diame with one of the most amazing first half's, Shelvey showing his genuine class, and Gayle...
Referee dropped this weekened too.
Poe, have you been to many away games this season?
Pogba at RCM? Only in Bizzaro World imo.
It'll be OK once Pogba gets moved to LCM.
The Man Utd team is too weird.
Like Blind, Rojo, Darmian etc, are all weird and seem to never play in there actual positions. No actual wingers, aside from really limited Lingard? A lot of slow players.
Man Utd's squad looks like what you'd e...
Dummett's was never a pen, Lansbury backs into him, to initiate contact. Plus the Bendtner goal was miles offside. - like a good five yards.
And also a lot of terrible decisions, like booking Gouffran and Yedlin for a minor tackle and refusing to bo...
Fucking hell, I haven't moaned about refs this season, and Wolves, Blackburn, Huddersfield and Fulham have deserved wins over us.
But that was a joke. Lansbury and Lichaj need lengthy bans.
I'll reserve praise for Benitez for when he merits it.
If we're sitting in the top ten and playing nice football, then fair enough.
I'm definitely being harsh on Benitez - because I can't stand the 'aura' around him - it's not his fault tbf. He's basically the club's ridicolous ego incarnate. It's led to everything becoming so overhyped and over...
Selz is an easy scapegoat. He was bad, but Newcastle as a side looked fundamentally not good enough,
Besides I'm sure we'll see loads of criticism of Selz, but none of the cunt who played him. (He made Newcastle a football club again. He made...
Newcastle are shite.
As soon as I saw the team sheet, I knew we were in trouble.
Shelvey has talent but is hopeless if Colback isn't playing, Hayden doesn't know how to play centre midfield, Atsu can deliver a moment, but is otherwise fairly shite, and Ritchie is o...
Nah the absolute opposite. Blackburn thoroughly outplayed Newcastle and deserved the win.
Without Colback and Gouffran we're woefully short of class.
Can he compete with the tactics of having more money than everyone else combined?
Feel this should be be a much bigger story than it is;

Police basically not investigating crimes - as they could ignore them instead. Really awful.
