One thing to be said… I couldn’t give a toss, long may their results continue to have that kind of effect on me.

Terrific start to the game from Bournemouth, and they deserve that goal 6 mins in away at Newcastle.

Gotta love an early kickoff (when its not us) as form seems to matter less.

Clever or cheating i don’t know, but Bruno goes down rather easy and wins a lot of free kicks. Meanwhile Joelinton loves clattering people and going in arm first and seems to get away with it a lot.

There isn’t even a debate to be had.

If there’s no contact, or the touch is not sufficient for the player to go down, it’s cheating pure and simple.

It’s a sad reflection of modern morals that the likes of MOTD and Sky legitimise such blatant dishonesty by calling it ā€œcleverā€.

He generates the contact. Leans in and ensures theres enough to convince the ref.

That’s even worse.

I think we had better gird our loins when we go to Bournemouth. They are looking the far better team here. Moving the ball a lot quicker and more purposefully than Newcastle.

Kluivert has scored more goals at St.James park than his old man did (whilst playing for Newcastle).

Lovely goal Bournemouth.

I do rate Kluivert. Sign him up…

He’s having a very decent season.

No thank you.

Dont think he has enough. Give me Kerkez or Semenyo over him first.

Can’t say I’ve been overly impressed with Semenyou in this game. He had a classic Nunez moment earlier.

He’s playing hurt

Joelinton showing his usual. Surely needs to be carded.

My brain returns no results when queried with ā€œdid Kluivert ever play for newcastle.ā€

That was pure thuggery. Not dangerous but deserves a red for the complete lack of footballing intent

He 100 percent did. He asked us on a night out (in Newcastle) whilst he played there if we knew where to get some of that Columbian marching powder. Was at the end of his career and clearly didn’t give a fuck about footy :rofl:

Iirc he was out with Woodgate. The players were always out in town back then (early 2000s).

He gives a YC to Adams but never called his foul.
And why the card to Kluivert?
Just a serial poor ref
