Newcastle have an ingrained unconscious ‘sabotage’ element to their club and existence which has developed after decades of zero success….
I don’t even rate their manager. Someone who rates Wilson up top is always a numpty in my eyes (that lad robs a living)
 
TBF to Newcastle - they could have won that game yesterday with just 10 players.. they had their chances, Gammereshh (that's how Sean Connery would pronounce it) will be back & he's a key player for them.

Keeper is important - not to have a mare - anyone half decent is all they need... Karius have the mental scars healed..

I think that is a little harsh on Wilson - I think he's like Assombalonga, he can score goals though just needs too many chances, & Lakaku... he's a threat, though not good enough for a team challenging for Titles.. so probably at the right level club ;-)
 
What was Shearer's take on the incident on MotD last night? I don't watch it when he's a panellist, can't stand him.

Shouldn't have been daft then.

Completely baffling decision from him to catch the ball.

Better to be 3-0 down than 2-0 with 10 men.

Yes but no reason to gloat over others misfortune.

It's not misfortune though is it? More like stupidity.

Watched it on MOTD and what on earth was he thinking? You are 2-0 down already, let them score. He may even have missed there were defenders getting back and he was quite wide. How on earth did he think he might get away with that under VAR?

If I were a Gerodie (and I thank the saints that I am not) I would be banging my head off the walls watching that. People still having a down on Steffen for his "decision making" might be well advised to watch a keeper, probably one of the top English keepers do something so catastrophically stupid as to defy any attempt to explain it.

But how can someone be that bitter that this would “make their day”

I can't answer that but it did make me laugh.

I'm sure if that is bitterness or not and frankly I don't care, a laugh is a laugh, no one died, no one was hurt, one very well paid PL player will miss out on his big day at Wembley because he did something so stupid that they could commission a sculpture of it for the amusement of kids in years to come.
