Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [2nd - 12th January 2023]

Cracking result considering our lack of threat going forward. Botman is unreal and supremely underrated outside of Newcastle. Unflappable.
Little bit wasteful with the ball but to be fair I haven't seen us that deep since Steve Bruce.

It's just the pure threat that Saka and Martinelli carry that we had to double up.
 
Another good result for us and we are quietly making our way up the table. If City fluff their game in hand we are only a point behind them. Couple of good results and we could be 2nd.
 
All the top teams do it but it's interesting to see the narrative that we're dirty time wasting cheats solely because we're not bowing down to the 'top 6' anymore.
 
Pope was doing it in the first half. Around 2 minutes on 1 goal kick. Don't have an issue with towards the end of the game.

It was standard for an away keeper taking a goal kick. He's not exactly going to be rushing around is he. Ramsdale did the same against us at home last season. Just think it's massively overblown that's all.

Its been amazing since that defeat to Villa before the break. Just wish next two games weren't City and Arsenal but at least we are in it to win it. Buzzin tbh!
 
As a toon fan, I have to say, we do love a time waste, I recall the Liverpool game earlier in the season where we really took the mickey, so I can understand why we are getting grief for yet more time wasting.

Think that match showed exactly where Newcastle are, a well oiled, well drilled team, that can't really offensively compete against the top of the league without further reinforcements

Fulham and Palace next, its those sort of games we'll need to win in order to keep pace
