Newcastle v Man Utd

[WhiteStripe]

This is the best opening 10 mins to a match I have seen in the epl for a long time. Total domination by Newcastle in terms of pressure. End to end. Could be an epic.

some poor play from both teams that have made it open in the first 10mins.

will probably end 0-0 now.... want a ManU win though

 

[WhiteStripe]

As a neutral, poor play makes for exciting football. I would say that Newcastle have started very well though. They are pressing United from the off and United are not being allowed to settle.

What a chance there for Rooney.

 

[chrissivad]

ManU coming back into it though, and Rooney had to hit the target there

not most of the time though.

NewCastile bench is v.v.weak, they really miss Nolan and Arfa. This season they have been a team rather than a squad but impressive for that, I think they need an early goal and try and control centre of the pitch,

 

[Viva la Tottenham]

nailed on peno there

 

[Marty]

Not nailed on at all, proper damned if you do/damned if you don't situation there. I think the way Lovenkrands threw himself to the ground put the ref off, even though there was undoubtedly contact.

 

[Viva la Tottenham]

course it was nailed on, he was tripped up in the box

Anderson didn't touch the ball and kicked his ankle

doesn't get much clearer than that

 

[nailsy]

Owen to score then.

 

[Marty]

The way Lovenkrands threw himself down made it look like he deliberately tripped over Anderson's outstretched leg. I think it probably was a penalty, but Lovenkrands, as silly as it sounds, made it look like it wasn't.

 

[hughy]

Offfft. Thought he pointed to the spot.

 

[yawa]

Hernandez - 10/10 for artistic impression.

Cheating cock.

 

[Marty]

Offfft. Thought he pointed to the spot.

Yea, I thought so too for a second.

No penalty for me, but a yellow for diving was a bit harsh.

 

[hughy]

Ugghhh. Arsenal are going to be right up for it tomorrow. :-(

 

[nailsy]

I thought that looked like a foul, but that was the most stupid fall ever.

 

[yawa]

Ugghhh. Arsenal are going to be right up for it tomorrow. :-(

Anyone who thought they wouldnt be up for a Derby because of the result at the weekend is quite frankly clueless.

This changes nothing.

 

[stormfly]

Good result for us, Arsenal always bottle it when the pressure is on them (famous last words).

 

[mpickard2087]

Draw was a pretty fair result IMO.

Nothing has changed from our point of view, we need three points tomorrow night.
