I feel very dirty celebrating that goal but, hey......get in!

One helluva blow for Newcastle.

Yes! At last.

Maguire was outstanding for England at the Euros. Been off form since though, but then again so have most of the United side.

Not quite sure why I'm bothering to explain, however you compared the two records of Burnley and Newcastle directly.

this topic is about Newcastle v Man United, nothing to do with Burnley

Come on Manure let’s have a winner

Cavani again he's one of the few Utd players who actually play for the shirt these days.

That's better were stayn up! EIOEIEOEIEOE!

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:38 pm

United have been dreadful yet should still very easily have three in the second half.

It was to be fair...

Nearly a second for MU there after another lack of communication between keeper & defender

You are joking aren’t you?

Man Utd have been shocking yet they’ve still had more shots and over 75% possession. Not sure you can describe that as against the run of play

Well he said it didn’t come close….

Johma · Post by **Johma** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:42 pm

Imagine being 4 games better off and still behind having 2 behind us

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:44 pm

ASM pulled up, looks like calf or hamstring injury, with that and Wilson off injured it is good news.

claptrappers_union · Post by **claptrappers_union** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:45 pm

Saint-Maxamin pulled up… hopefully that all keep him out for a few games - he’s been a menace tonight

Gonna need to buy Messi now too

Johma · Post by **Johma** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:45 pm

2 injuries
An unhealthy goal difference
4 games behind
Still bottom

Good night. Just need a united 2nd goal now

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:46 pm

Not that want players to be seriously injured, but Newcastle losing Wilson & ASM for a few games isn’t a bad outcome for us

Happens all the time. People take expectation into account. If you didn't know the league position you wouldn't say Newcastle have been any better

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:47 pm

St. Max off injured... don't wish the guy any harm, but could do with him being out with a niggling injury
for a few games.

Goddy · Post by **Goddy** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:50 pm

Jeeeeeez that was close!!!

taio · Post by **taio** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:50 pm

What a save

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:50 pm

Wow. MU (and us) lucky there

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:51 pm

Thank Christ for De Gea.

Manure are shoite tonight

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:52 pm

United look shattered.

Must be the gruelling schedule they’ve had over the past two weeks.

probably because of the lack of minutes in the legs over the last 2 weeks

Don’t do that.

I thought there was a goal and I was behind on the stream

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:56 pm

Two incredibly poor teams on show tonight, although Newcastle have worked ever so hard and probably deserve to have won.

Thank Christ for Cavani.

Burnley Ace · Post by **Burnley Ace** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:57 pm

94th minute Ronaldinho sprinting 30 yards to close the goalie down.

Winstonswhite · Post by **Winstonswhite** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:58 pm

Good game.

The way I look at it is that this was Newcastle at their absolute motivated best and unable to beat a United who don’t really seem to know what they’re doing at the moment.

Good news for rest of the dogfight, starting on Thursday.

claptrappers_union · Post by **claptrappers_union** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:59 pm

United scabbed a point there

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:59 pm

You would hope that Wood could rediscover some form against this defence.

Fixed that for you.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 10:00 pm

You have to love the refs.
Six mins injury time.
Newcastle player runs away with the ball for a United throw.
Ref then stops the game and United from taking the throw in while he books him.
Then blows the full time whistle dead on 96 mins.

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 10:02 pm

Hopefully, Manure will play as badly on Thursday

Kazoo · Post by **Kazoo** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 10:02 pm

We'll finish above Nuke.

MT03ALG · Post by **MT03ALG** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 10:03 pm

United will call the game off on Thursday because of 'tired players'. New Premier League rule.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 10:04 pm

United absolute light years behind Citeh/ Liverpool/Chelsea.

Grinds my gears too.

Should use basket ball timer clock that stops for bookings, injury etc.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 10:04 pm

Not a bad outcome for us in the end, and we have a crazy 4 games in hand on Newcastle now, of course they only matter if we can pick up a good haul of points from them.

A few injuries for Newcastle tonight as well, and key injuries at that especially ASM and Wilson.

19 points Toon have dropped from winning positions this season, which works out neatly at 1 per game, that's got to be a concern for them going forwards.

Depends who they bring in tho. Could be a blessing for them, especially if it's only a month or so out. Got quite a nice run until March

No chance, it’s Norwich & Watford & us & our saving grace might be Brentford who are slowly dropping & will drop further.
