Oh what a night
7 December Twenty-Twenty-Three
Stuck three past those miserable Geordies
Starboy crying, what a night

Rele-what-now?

Excellent performance, and a deserved and convincing win. Shay Given saying he didn’t think it was a 3-0. I mean, it was though wasn’t it? We’ve been threatening to do that for a while - pressing high, forcing mistakes and making chances. Difference being, tonight we took them, and it was so sweet that it was against that mob. A lot of these supposedly bigger sides rely on their opponents buying the media narrative. So glad to see us go toe to toe with them tonight, and expose the weaknesses in their squad.

Thought McNeill was particularly excellent, but fair play to Gana as well - seemed to be everywhere, breaking up play. And that Beto goal was identical to many on his YouTube reel - pace and strength, and a smart finish. You could see what it meant to him, and I hope it spurs him on.

Has the feeling of a pivotal and season defining win. Let’s hope so - do the same against Chelsea, and we’ll know. COYB, UTFT.

Gerrin Blues!

Fully deserved and sent those horse-punching scruffs home with their arses firmly slapped.

Do Chelsea on Sunday now.

Bonus that Branthwaite and Doucoure avoided yellows and suspensions for Chelsea.

Thank you LL xxx

Brilliant result. Beto getting his goal was the icing on the cake.

The build up for his goal was awesome

I almost smiled when the full time whistle was blown, luckily all those years of walking into gale force winds has conditioned my facial muscles and I thankfully managed to restrain myself.

I know I've said it before but genuinely I don't think we were especially brilliant tonight. And I mean that in a good way. We've got a consistency of performance that bare minimum has us in games, if not enough to win. We kept our focus and capitalised when their legs started to go.

Helping hand with the 1st/2nd but we were well worth the win, just glad we got our rewards after yet more missed chances.

Plus, without our starting central midfield. Dyche deserves a lot of credit.

I went for Ashley Young. Thought he did an excellent job tonight. Don't use him as a defender again suits me but he has much to offer as a squad player.

I actually said at the match that he had a solid performance, as he has done whenever else he’s been pushed forward for us. He’s not a defender.

 

[Strumpet]

Yeah but, Newcastle were tired though Yeah? Oh hang on, haven't Everton played with largely the same 11 all season? Yeah? Oh perhaps them Georgie bells should get a grip!

That is absolute magic lol
