"Howe and the Newcastle owners and board deserve a lot of criticism for not investing in the playing staff more than they did last summer knowing full well their squad would be stretched with CL, PL, FA Cup and league cup. Shoddy."

You'd think a loss today could be the end for Howe at Newcastle (or near to it).

Crazy. What’s the point of having the VAR even look at it?

1-0. Can't say it bothers me if the pen was dodgy.

I'm waiting for them to start awarding pens for making faces at the opposition.

Of course toon win is better for us but doesn’t mean it’s not a very very soft penalty.

There's two things here:
i) what's best for use
ii) what's fair for both sides in the match

Really? Based on what? A couple of bad results because their squad has been decimated with injury?

I hate to say it but EH has done a very good job there.
Most of their fans thought they'd have won the World Cup by now thanks to their red oil money but they were in a very tough CL group and the injuries proved too much.

We really need Forest to keep getting beaten. Hopefully someone else like a Palace starts dropping like a stone aswell, the more teams we can potentially catch the better.

Doesn’t want to damage his Tyneside legacy? Mind you he might have done with that second goal!

Spijed might not be a million miles away. They look shocking. Are they even that decimated by injuries? Other than Pope and arguably Barnes, which first team are out? Saudis won’t be standing for this.
