Not sure what to make of this article.

I'm sure there's a compliment in it somewhere…

Good article that seemed to be starting out in the traditionally wrong-eyed insulting fashion, but finished off being refreshingly complimentary

 

but what impressed at St James' Park was the din created once the first goal went in. There were still three more to score, not counting the one that was wrongly disallowed, yet from the moment the fightback began the home crowd kept up a perfect storm of noise. Arsène Wenger admitted his players had panicked, and the extraordinary atmosphere must have been one of the reasons why. Arsenal could not break out of their own half, the decibel level kept rising, and at some point in the second half everyone in the stadium knew that Newcastle would get back on terms. Including all the players. Even so, Cheik Tioté's screamer of an equaliser produced one of the most joyous moments of this or any other Premier League season. It is difficult to jump for joy in a modern, all-seat stadium, but the Newcastle crowd managed it easily. There were people leaping into each other's arms, holding on to neighbours and chair backs for support and bouncing off the ground. It was quite something, a privilege to be present.

 

Fantastic stuff

The article actually reads like the game it describes.

The first half is a battering for all things NUFC from some southern twats, then just when you least expect it, it turns on it's head and you end up with a daft grin on ;)

He's right about Beat Surrender as well. And that Michael Henderson is a stuck up arsewipe who deserves a good kicking.

Only one of the greatest results ever.

 

I can't really blame them.

 

It was a draw. It's hardly comparable with Howay 5-0 and the Barca CL results. And for 50% of the DVD we were absolutely fucking garbage.

 

Anyone paying for that want's their heads read - seriously.

Biggest turn around in Premier League history. I can see why they've released it.

 

;)

Lovenkrands and Leon Best up front. A 40 year old Sol Campbell, Shane Ferguson and Nile Ranger on the bench. It’s a mystery how we didn’t take all three points.

I forgot this was when it was called sportsdirect.com @ at St James’ Park, just saw the branding of that on the advert hoarding, :lol: what a load of tripe that is, further reminder in one of our most exciting games in recent times of how much of a cunt Ashley is.
