One thing to be saidā€¦ I couldnā€™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 donā€™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 isnā€™t even a debate to be had.

If thereā€™s no contact, or the touch is not sufficient for the player to go down, itā€™s cheating pure and simple.

Itā€™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.

Thatā€™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 upā€¦

Heā€™s having a very decent season.

No thank you.

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

Canā€™t say Iā€™ve been overly impressed with Semenyou in this game. He had a classic Nunez moment earlier.

Heā€™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 didnā€™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
