Fan collapsed next to us this afternoon, Trippier didn’t want to take the corner & was telling the ref, as were the stewards and St John’s but ref just shook his head and waved play on 🤷‍♂️ fair play to Lascelles who stayed and made sure treatment was sorted while game continued

I watched Roy Hodgson’s pre match press conference about Newcastle, and I have just watched his post match conference including his tribute to Bobby Charlton and his comments on Tonali. The guy is a class act when you compare him to certain other premier league managers 👏👏👏👏

I’ve watched Newcastle for nearly 60 years, the biggest compliment I can pay this side is even if they had 30 mins injury time tonight Chelsea were never going to score. Every player to a man works their balls off for the team and won’t be bullied. The Geordie Dogs of War! #NUFC

Never underestimate the graft and positioning of this lad off the ball. A lot of it might not get seen by some fans and it doesn’t get highlighted enough, but he does a huge amount of covering and filling in positions for players all over the pitch as we attack.
