Huh?

What was that?!

I can't remember us ever being in the situation of being so far second best but having the lead. I've seen it plenty of times against us but when was the last time we were battered but scored from our only chance?

I'm liking the fact that we look at least half way defensively competent for a change and that most of our goal kicks are going long. I'd very much like us to have more of the ball and to look better with it in the second half.

But overall I'm just a bit flummoxed by that first half. The least Brighton performance I've seen in a number of years.

Jocko McBitterCunt thinks it’s an assault and 10 year prison sentence whenever one of their players go down. Bloody hate commentators that can’t hold their bias.

I’ll shut up about it now but f***ing hell :lolol:
I think he'll actually cheer if Newcastle manage a goal. It's really irritating.
 


















It’s just a bit of a culture shock how our playing style has evolved so quickly - yet here we are currently two points behind Man City in the table 😮

Terrible first half.. or was it? We probably don't deserve to be leading... or do we?

Newcastle dominated most of the half, at least until the goal. We were sitting back, absorbing pressure, almost inviting them to attack to get them on the break, which we did on the first attempt.

We clearly adapted to the flavour of the game. Although it nearly backfired as they should have scored.

Verbruggen having a very good game - it's so nice having a keeper that can make quality saves.

Ferguson, sadly, has been ineffectual and anonymous. Would like to see him subbed for an impactful player, but I suspect he'll be on for a little longer.

Rutter has skillz. Great assist. He does some sexy flair actions on the ball which is fun to see.

Baleba looking good, again. Welbeck having the season of his life - I just KNEW he'd score.

The goal has put a spring in our step and Newcastle have their tails between their legs. Let's hope we can capitalise on that in the 2nd half.
I concur with this. Ferguson just standing around watching the game go past him. Has done NOTHING. Like playing with 10 men.
