Wanted both to lose so fair enough.
Toon 11 pts from 19 games, in the same toast rack as Norwich...

They’re signing this fella for £68.5m next week, £200k a week wages.
Man Utd were awful. Newcastle really should have won that, but end up with just a single point and their best player crocked for critical games coming up.
Oh dear. What a shame. Never mind.
Saudi W@nkers
It never gets boring watching Man United being shit and I’d like to see Newcastle go down so that went pretty well.
Newcastle - commentators’ favourites. Is this the Smug Eddie factor or fear of the Saudis ?

The general quality of play on show tonight was appalling, the standard of defending was woeful. Newcastle should have won that but at the same time Cavani could have had a hat-trick.
Losing Wilson and ASM to what looked like muscle injuries is significantly bad news. 11 points at the halfway stage is full on relegation form I don’t care how many billions you’ve got. Love it if they went down.
On another subject whatever Utd are paying Ronaldo is too much, he’s done I reckon.
Howe preparing the ground to do a “Manure/Spuds/Everton” … I feel a special request to the EPL coming. No fixtures …. until they’ve gone on a huge 1st January spending spree.
BBC:
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said his side are "dangerously close" to not being able to field a team for their Premier League game at Everton on 30 December.
Before the 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Monday, Howe said his squad was "stretched" and had a "mixture of injuries and Covid-19 cases".
In fairness it was really bad luck to have your two best strikers go off injured. We’d be right in the mire if that happened to us
Forwards Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin both then suffered injures during the game at St James' Park.
Howe fears Wilson could be facing "months" on the sidelines.
Newcastle are 19th in the table, two points behind 17th-placed Watford.
"Callum's injury looks severe, weeks maybe months," Howe told BBC Radio 5 Live. "I feared for him when he went down with nobody around him. A pull, not a knock."
The Newcastle boss could only name eight substitutes against Manchester United, including two goalkeepers and two teenagers who had not started a Premier League match.
"The lads gave everything but we are thin on the ground in terms of bodies," he told Sky Sports.
"These are difficult moments for us. I believe it's 13 plus a goalkeeper [to have enough players for a game]. We're going to be dangerously close to that number."
If a few more don’t go down with covid I fear Newcastle may have a few accidental training ground injuries in the next couple of days
In fairness it’s very unlucky to have your two best strikers go off injured in one half. We’d be right in the mire if that happened to us
Just the 13 goals in 18 appearances. I wish our striker's were as done as him.
The irony is that Everton didn't want to play Burnley on Boxing Day, so after their first appeal for postponement was refused, two or more of their players developed "injuries" on Christmas Eve. Now that Newcastle have lost St Maximin and Wilson, what's the betting that Everton's "injuries" clear up?If a few more don’t go down with covid I fear Newcastle may have a few accidental training ground injuries in the next couple of days
