The beast unleashed!
The win takes us 10 points clear of Everton in 7th and 11 points clear of Liverpool in 8th. But in my opinion we should stop looking down, because we’re joint on points with Chelsea and only 2 points behind Tottenham in fourth, but they do have a game in hand which is played today, vs Swansea.
The first real chance of the game for Liverpool was when ex-Newcastle player Andy Carroll out jumped Mike Williamson and ran past James Perch before rounding the goalkeeper Tim Krul and throwing himself to the floor. If he’d stayed on his feet he’d have had a tap in, but instead he tried to con the referee and get a penalty, unsuccessfully.
Liverpool possibly could have had a real penalty when the ball seemed to strike Danny Simpson’s arm from a Liverpool corner. The ball bounced off Williamson and Simpson had his hand on the post, and the ball bounced up off his arm. He didn’t move his arm towards the ball, neither could he really move his arm which may be why he got away with it.
Just after that Newcastle made them pay when Hatem Ben Arfa picked up the ball on the right hand side, dribbled past Jay Spearing then produced an inch perfect left footed cross onto the head of Papiss Cisse who found the far corner of Pepe Reina’s net, leaving the Spanish goalkeeper stranded – as usual.
Andy Carroll was relishing the battle and later on in the half he headed the ball just over Tim Krul’s crossbar when there was a mix up between Simpson and Williamson sliding in to block a cross.
Papiss Cisse could have made it two at the end of the first half when he glanced a Danny Guthrie cross past the far post, a header which was possibly easier to score than his first chance.
The second half began very much the same, Liverpool had some early possession and moved the ball a little bit quicker, but couldn’t create anything of note.
Not long after the restart Mike Williamson connected to a Yohan Cabaye free kick and his header hit the base of the post and just evaded the onrushing James Perch. Williamson looked dangerous in the air throughout the whole game, which was impressive.
Jonjo Shelvey had a rare effort for Liverpool when he shot from long range, but it was easily dealt with by Tim Krul who didn’t have a massive amount to do due to the great efforts of the 10 men in front of him.
Not long after Newcastle went up the other end and Demba Ba slid the ball across the box towards the onrushing Ben Arfa who may have got a slight touch, but could not gather the ball completely, thankfully Cisse was on hand behind him to round Pepe Reina and pass the ball into the corner of the net with the coolest of finishes.
A mix up between Tim Krul and James Perch nearly gifted Liverpool a way back into the game when they collided and the ball fell to Luis Suarez who went by Krul only to be denied by the sliding Perch when the goal seemed gaping.
Both teams made changes and Shola Ameobi came on for the goalscorer Papiss Cisse and Dan Gosling replaced the injured Danny Guthrie. Liverpool made all three of their changes in four minutes taking off both Craig Bellamy and Andy Carroll, the latter supposedly swore at his manager when he left the pitch, just before throwing down his shirt and storming down the tunnel. Look what you’re missing Andy.
The game petered out and it just looked like it was going to end 2-0 with no more major incidents, but then Pepe Reina decided he’d completely kill the game for Liverpool. Reina reacted to James Perch when he left his foot in after a cross, he stormed towards him and pushed his head into Perch’s face. It was clear that there was contact, how much contact I’m not sure, but James Perch reacted and went to the floor holding his face. Some people are criticising him for it, but if he’d have stayed on his feet and the ref had missed it, I’d have been livid with him.
As Liverpool had used all of their subs they had to put Jose Enrique in goal for the final 10 minutes, unfortunately Newcastle were not really able to test him, but the game finished 2-0 after a lot of keep ball from the home side taunting the once famous away team.
Everyone played their part today and it was a great game so I was unable to choose a man of the match, but there were about 5 real stand out players. Danny Simpson, James Perch and Mike Williamson were outstanding; all three of them kept Liverpool quiet and put in some crunching tackles on the scumbag Luis Suarez in the process.
The goal scorer Papiss Cisse had another great game, and his movement allowed him to grab another two goals to make it 7 in his first 7 in the Premier League, and excellent start. Luis Suarez has 7 Premier League goals in 25 games this season, and Andy Carroll has 3 in 28, both of these players cost over 3 times what we paid for Cisse.
The returning Cheik Tiote was outstanding and he really broke the game up well and allowed Danny Guthrie and Yohan Cabaye to go and play football with our menacing front three. I would certainly try and get Guthrie to sign a new deal and have them 3 as our permanent central midfield combination.
Liverpool were really poor today, none of our former players came back to haunt us and the media lovechild Steven Gerrard was awful, his passing was actually embarrassing at times. Luis Suarez did nothing and was kept quiet by our defence, which is a real credit to them. The stand ins managed to keep a clean sheet, something which nobody expected.
Andy Carroll looked lost, I started to feel sorry for him in the end. I wasn’t going to abuse him, until he dived like a scumbag when he could have scored. He dived against the “team he supports”, just disgraceful really. His reaction made me smile though, it just shows to our current crop who are being sought after, the grass isn’t always greener. I wouldn’t have that Enrique back either, he’s nothing on Tim Krul.
The game has really shown how far we’ve come, and the fact we are 2 points off the Champions League places as I write this (before the Spurs game), shows what a great job Pardew and the players are doing and long may in continue.
E I E I E I O, Up the Premier League we go, when we get to Europe…..
My final words, COME ON SWANSEA!

If this is a legit account then could Pieters interest in NUFC fortunes mean he might be arriving in summer?
https://twitter.com/#!/JohnnyBrookes14/status/186463087073832960/photo/1 didnt touch him right
You should have waited till you got home before posting this blog mate. It was clear there was contact between Reina and Perch? It was clear there wasn’t and Perch dived getting another player sent off. I imagine Liverpool may win an appeal although possibly intent is enough. Either way Perch should be punished for diving but the rules don’t allow it.
fickin brilliant today!! embarrasin for carroll and enrique hahahahaha!! clowns!! next up swansea! a win there then i will defintley be thinkin champions league football!! hell of a win today!! cisse 7 in 7 games!!! what a striker
Is there any club fan base as paranoid as Liverpool’s?
ANDY you blind c unt look at the pic @5 and fck off
feck off andy you prick!! liverpool are a joke !! any carroll will be in the olympics this year for diving
To ANDY: PLS TAKE A GOOD LOOK>>>>

@Andy
umadbro
See Ole Soderberg has been sold, wonder if we’ve got another decent youth prospect, or just sticking with Alnwick or whatever…
Perch and Carroll both cheated, Perch was MOM for me until then, but it had no influence on the result, unlike Carroll who instead of scoring an open goal chose instead to attempt to con the ref into a pen and a red card, areshole!
Unfortunately these 2 incidents have overshadowed the real talking point for me and that is, how poor are Liverpool and is Dalglish becoming madder by the day?
I am also looking at the league table and it looks incredible, hats off to the team and staff, fantastic.
Temper temper ladies. Better get the bus out for the trip round the toon, what with being in the top 6. We are absolute shite and we’ve still won a trophy this year, something you can only dream of. Just listened to 2 Newcastle fans on Talksport BTW both of them said there was no contact and Perch made a meal of it. Perhaps you all need to get your stories straight first
@9. Well said
Andy- congrats on the Cup but you lot, including your owners, said CL was the goal this season. It must sting a bit knowing your hero Kenny wasted such a generous transfer kitty
Oh, Andy. So sad. And Evra was the one who pulled his hand away.
Perch flopped like, well, like a perch. But Reina was an idiot and deserved red.
Did Carroll dive, by the way?
FSOTC. Any Liverpool fan who complains about diving is surely taking the piss with Carroll tripped by a blade of grass and Suarez taking the practice to a new art form this season
Paranoid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aIhh9nFYv4
hypocritical: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GKXAKQY-0Y
Gmac
thats erik pieters real account mate, id be suprised if he isnt a toon player next year.
how biased are sky btw?
More of Gerrard’s fine work.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abk9JSDBra4&feature=related
Seeing that twitter accounst has instantly made me love Pieters. Would be nice to have another dutch player next year. Is his contract up at the end of the season or has he one year left?
The ref today was spot on. I’m genuinely not saying that because im a bias toon fan, I really though he got it right, the Carroll dive, the yellow for Tiote, the other yellows, the headbutt from Reina (right infront of the referee, come on liverpool fans
)
Can I give a neutral view?
Sorry boys but those pictures are unclear. Perch has made a meal of that and there was no contact. Reina would have been sent off anyway though because of the intent and it’s made no difference to the result. Carroll has clearly dived but the handball is a penalty and you got lucky there. If that was at the other end you’d have been screaming for a pen.
Take all that out and the right side won but decisions swing games and the handball was key like it or not.
Newkie. Alnwick more highly rated anyway and younger. Probably pick up another young keeper in the summer to fill a role
Gmac. Mark Douglas posted a similar tweet by pieters when we were playing Sunderland. Can’t remember the exact username though
If I went up and slapped someone right in front of a police officer I would expect to get in trouble.
FSOTC- these kids are legends:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiVrE4gGTwg
I agree, Mikey.
I don’t think there was any contacts either. Hold ur face, sure, if u want to make the point but don’t collapse in a heap. He played great today though.
Try this one on for size lads…….Carroll deliberately falls over because he NEW he had an open goal!! Maybe the Geordie pull is too strong for him.
2 of your own fans on here say Perch dived. It made no diff to the result, best team won. But Perch made a meal of that there was no contact although Reina would be sent off for intent anyway as I said originally. Carroll dived but it was a penalty for the handball and if that is given and Simpson sent off it’s a different game.
Take the mick out of our cup as much as you like, you’d have loved to win it and you are right, champs league was important and Dalglish will get the sack at the end of the year I’m sure even if they win both cups, but, if we all say only champs league is worth having we may as well not have the cups at all.
Swansea scored get in
Excellent–Swansea level!
Come on Swansea 1-1!!!
Come on Swansea
On the Rayner sending off. It is a sending off for THROWING a head but, you don’t have to make contact. Same as a dangerous tackle that does not connect.
If Spurs win today , Liverpool are closer to the bottom 3 than they are too the the top 4. King Kenny doing a stand up job. A move upstairs in the summer? Hahaha
Yeah we got lucky with the Simpson handball and these decision do have an impact on the game. But we were the better team on deserved the 3 points.
For the Perch/Reina thing. Perch did make a meal of it but Reina had to go.
Always wanted sigurdsson when we were in the championship
Andy, your beloved Livershite have spent a hideous amount of money, that’s the only reason you won that mickey mouse cup. Birmingham won it last year so it’s hardly a prestigious honour.
Just as I post Swansea score
Andy- of course we’d have loved to win a cup,. Just making the point that it doesn’t make a successful season for you lot based on the goals set by your club preseason.
I agree Perch made a meal of it which I don’t like to see, but saying there was no contact simply isn’t true. To me the Simpson thing was 50/50
Plenty of douchebags to go around in football, Andy–yours and ours and everyone else’s.
I don’t like to see Perchy or anyone go down like that. I don’t know if Reina made contact or not. Even if he had, Perch could have taken it, it’s true. But he played it for advantage, as anyone of your boys would have. Sadly, that’s the state of the game.
Andy….who’s taking the mick out of your cup?
Andy we hope you beat Everton so that we can get Europa… though at the min they look like they’ll trounce you.

Great game, just got home from watching in a Irish bar he in cologne. I hear lots of comments about the “handball” but what about Enrique pulling on our players shirt in the box. We had a penalty awarded against us vs scum for exactly that. Clear penalty too. All the Liverpoo fans seemed to have missed that one. AC should have jumped up after his dive and shouted “April fool” lol…
Great result. Toon toon black and white army!
Batty
Cologne…exactly
Great day today, thought the back 4 in particular were excellent and the atmosphere around the ground was one of the best we have managed at SJP this season. Wales on friday lets make it 4 wins on the trot
chant of the day has to go to ‘jose enrique, were in the top 6!’ HOWAY THE LADS!
Well although perch made a meal of it ,the bindippers were making a meal of everything right from the kickoff . An eye for an eye as they say ,the better team won and Carroll will probably need therapy to get over today ,it was brilliant to see him storming straight down the tunnel as soon as he was subbed .He could not even bring himself to sit in the stadium that offered the b@st@rd so much not so long ago . As for Perch the lad should be offered a new contract tomorrow ,he was brilliant today and needs to be kept . What ever happens in the run in too the end of the season our lads have stood up and made themselves heros this season ,we have a team too be proud of and the best is their is still more too come .
Cologne-Toon @46 Spot on mate . Me and another blogger Jill said about that .He had a good handfull of Benny’s shirt it was identical to Willo v Scum.
Well done lads great game even better 3 points!!!!!
Andy – Answer me the simplest of questions when the season started would u have classed winning the cup as a good season n finish mid table? I THINK NOT.
To me i don’t think that it was a pen as he didn’t move his arm to the ball the ball came to him.
Me just thinks someone is very bitter as u have spent so much money and your still below us HA HA HA HA
WELL PLAYED LADS
HWTL
Been on a liverpool blog ,my god they are laying into Kenny and the players bigtime. Really not happy with Carroll going down the tunnel and with Stevie g telling KD to go away when he came on the pitch at the end,even though he probs saved KD being sent to stands. But what i can’t believe is their total arogance even now they think it should be them up top not us or spuds.I quote one of many comments “Getting beat by Newcastle theyr’e crap ffs” .Mind you there were a few that were honest enough to say they a midtable outfit at present .Their blogs have gone into meltdown after the game and they all want KD sacked and Carroll sold
The irony of Liverpool sulking about Perch incident, considering they have had their share bit of benefits coming from Suarez’s antics. Leave alone Carroll’s terrible dive and falling over from the slightest contact towards him, considering his size and body build it’s hilarious. Karma gets bites back, this time in form of Perch.
Looks like someone’s been moonlighting as moi on the other site…
Yeah the thing that annoys me is that Carroll dived and the chances were he thought he would get a pen and the chances were that Krul would have got sent of. But Doglesh says he didn’t dive so what was he doing
Leeza- no, but, if you said to me 4th and nothing or 10th and a cup its a difficult call. It was great to win a trophy at Wembley and it will be better if it’s 2. Ultimately we have to get back in top 4 because of how things are but, as I say if that becomes more important than a cup then we may as well bin the cups entirely, increase the prem to 24 clubs and leave it at that.
Witters@ 54 it wouldn’t be the 1st time funny things have went on there
Andy do you not think Big players join clubs for Euro footie and not the cup ? im sure Jose said that was why he moved he wanted Euro footie
Apparently there was footage of Carrol in tears and throwing his shirt away in the tunnel. If anyone has a link i’d love too see that.
What a game man! Carroll could have scored if he didn’t decide to take a dive, really dont know what went through his mind – we got the last laugh anyways. Liverpool were awful; they dont seem to have a system that the players understand, why start Carroll with no natural wingers? Daglish is clueless. Carroll needs a system to be built around him, he needs players who can cross.
Perch did what he had to do, he made sure he got Reina sent off, never want to see players doing what Perch did but it happens, he was immense today. Carroll is just as bad for trying to win a pen.
I’m loving this 433 formation like, it is perfect for players like Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Cisse – it doesnt do any favours for Ba though, but still overall it suits this team.
Haha, now I have some bragging rights in my largely liverpool supporting school (though still behind rangers(lol), celtic and manu)
Ben Arfa is brilliant and was an absolute bargain a quarter of what liverpool payed for downing and Hatem is also probably better than their beloved suarez without being a rascist too 
Willo deserved the MOTM award. He was immense and very nearly got on the scoresheet. Perch was so nearly as good – and then made me ashamed of him with that pointless trip and Bartonesque overacting to get Pepe sent off. For what, exactly? To show that we can cheat as much as them? For the yellow card? (anyone who says the ref didn’t punish him wasn’t watching)
We were lucky for that penalty, but overall, anyone who says the bindippers deserved anything out of that match is barking. Much like their manager.
So pleased for Willo, though. Yet another player proving his doubters wrong just when we really need him to.
Happy as a pig in Dorset-deep shit.
AndrewNUFC
totally agree 433 is the way to go, beat swansea on friday and euro/CL is the aim.
If Cisse keeps this form up, he is going to be my player of the year. dont think i have ever said that about a January signing
Robbie – I once said there was no chance of signing a decent striker for reasonable money in January.
DOH!!
Areet Peeps.
Wot a great afternoon that was. Bricking myself all the way thru, yet totally loving it too.
Carroll made a mug of himself when it must have been easier to score.
Pappiss was mega, the whole team was mega.
Perch played a blinder n all. Cant really fault any of the lads.
HBA is getting great at tracking back and working for the team.
Another clean sheet 3 more points, and a canny atmosphere. Wot more could yous ask for. Well done to all the Lads.
Happy days are here again.
Has there been any comment from Pardew yet
He must be over the moon right now.
Liverpool are in meltdown, wtf was dog leash doing on pitch during the reina incident – surely he should get a retrospective ban
Turned into quite an easy win, very comfortable once we had taken the lead – our 2 million CB pairing easily handled their 60+ million strike pairing
lets face facts judas carroll dived when it was easier to score he thought tk would have been sent off simpson on the line saved a goal (ball to arm and not arm to ball) nufc wanted it more than the scousers perch was outstanding the team superb we had a threat going forward but team work was our winning card no one can question our right to be in the top six four or five quality signings in the summer and keep our best players then the top four is a distinct possibility
I didn’t think for a moment that we’d keep a clean sheet. In the end, Krul hardly had a proper save to make. The team was immense all round.
And when you look at our next 4 fixtures you can’t help but think, “it’s only 5 points…”
Ok, getting carried away now. But I have already told the missus that I may need to go abroad for a match or two next season.
‘Feed the Scooooousers! Let them know it’s Cisse time!’
What a brilliant chant that was today!
I’ve never laughed at a football match as much as today’s in all my life.
Great performance, great atmosphere, great time ahead
I have really enjoyed April (Liver)Fools day
Man oh man I missed the game due to work, but what a freakin result !!!! Howay the lads !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate the bindippers and all that Dalglish stands for…public enemy number one… and as for that wazzock Enrique, take a good look at the table now ya muppet…
Holy shit. Perch motm contender 3rd game running, especially at CB, would have been the stuff of April fools till a few weeks ago.
Bloody well done lads. JOSE ENRIQUE, WE’RE IN THE TOP 6
7 more points for our best season since Sir Bobby was here
Not sure if anyone has said yet…Liverpool are closer to the relegation zone than the champions league
my comment @61 made myself wonder
(profound I know 
) whether Ben Arfa is actually the better player to Suarez 
. Opinions on this please? 
Andy, Ben arfa is definitely a superior player to Suarez. At least on current form, HBA has created or scored 5 goals in the last 2 games! Now that his head is on straight and he’s past the injury, Ben Arfa could go extremely far. I’m not saying he is as good as Messi, but he is definitely a player that reminds me of him…
Dogleash must have a worse record than Roy Hodgson
Andymag @75 Yes and he,s better looking
Andy @ 75 well I know who I would rather have
Jonas didn’t quite convince at LB today too much though. The need for a pure LB in the summer is obvious as well, so it’s good to see those tweets from Pieters!
Anyone think Santon will actually be able to take the rb slot away from Simpson next year?
How many yellows has Tiote picked up now? is it 8 or 9?
A bit worrying so close to the end of the season.
@Andrew, what tweets? Is Simmo out of contract next season? I think the terms we agree to with his contract will depend on Santon earning the rb role.
Our defence today against Liverpool’s “stellar” strike force. Huge credit to the players and just as much to Pardew, incredible.
BB im not sure but I know it isn’t as bad as last season
Andrew I don’t think Simmo is as bad as a lot make him out to be, don’t get me wrong he is no world better.
As for Saton would he not be better trying to make LB his position as I think he prefers LB over RB, but he needs to keep working at it, because Jonas is getting picked ahead of him at the min and he isn’t a defender
Andrew meant to add I don’t think that twitter account is real
Great result today and performance was good too. There really is no better time to hit form than now and with us having won three on the bounce, with games agains Swansea(a), Bolton and Stoke (h) to come we really could be in a position of going on a six game winning streak. Although I’d take winning 5 out of our last 6 after the Stoke game.
Achieve that and and who knows what can be achieved!
BD – still too many yellows tho.
Far more than any other NUFC player. I’ll bet he has committed more fouls than any other too.
Look I’m not criticising him so much as just pointing out he could be close to a suspension soon.
He did great again today and I think his yellow was soft.
BB, according to my count, he’s at 8 now. Better than last year, and I don’t feel as terrified by it with Perch able to come in and do a good job there.
Big Dave, I agree that Simpson is actually a pretty good player. However, we have all seen the potential in Santon to really develop into a world class fullback, he just needs to balance out his positioning more than anything else.
The question for the Swansea game already is do we stick with the same formation and lineup?
BB I hear ye mate
but the only player I can see making way would be Guthrie, I like Guthrie and he hasn’t done owt to deserve to be dropped but I would rather have Jonas tbh.
Andrew funny enough for the swansea game the only one I would think of changing is Jonas
And yeah I would stick with the same formation
Big Dave@82
was watching ‘Premier League Preview’ on sky sports on Friday and according to them, Danny Simpson has moved into the top 5 defenders in the league this season, don’t know how its rated/ranked but I was very suprised, and it suggests that he may not be as bad as many (me included) thought he was.
Regarding Ben Arfa comments
I agree with what everyone is saying and I guess the general consensus is that he’s the better player (you won’t find a pundit that’ll admit it though), might try and right an article regarding it compairing the two, will maybe start tomorrow, as on holiday.
Jobey, great write up as usual fella.
I knew if I slagged Willo to pieces before the match to all Liverpool fans, it would ultimately get back to Kenny and the dressing room so they would underestimated him. This victory is pretty much down to me
Perch for most improved player of the season? Been saying it weeks. Absolutely outstanding. Once again.
I remember some people on here laughing when players were signing in the summer and saying how impressed they were with Pardew and his determination to push us for europe this season.
tbh it didn’t deem plausible then.
We have come a long way tho and I feel AP is due a lot of credit too, aswell as the Lads.
I like to see the gaffer suited and booted on the touchline. shows his class. Unlike that miserable tramp dog leash in his scruffy tracksuit.
Think we might see RTaylor back at LB for swansea with Jonas back on the left wing, covering for him.
But who would get dropped
Its a tough call for sure.
Shit, think that Pieters account is real.
https://twitter.com/#!/TimKrul/following
Tim Krul is following so I reckon it must be. Looks very promising, his heart is already here
Moreno yeah mate you are due a lot of credit
BB I know Santon isn’t the finished article but imo he is better than Raylor
BB
defo guthrie, despite playing ok today felt he was one of the weak links, was unimpressed with pard’s decision to bring gosling on, he’s rubbish, sell him in the summer, this should be the time when vuckic gets a chance, we called him back from his loan so we could play him but since being called back he hasnt seen any pitch time.
to add to my point why vuckic should’ve come on, we could have used his randomly optimistic long shots to trouble enrique in goal
Oh I just remembered Lawro’s predictions.
keep calling it wrong bonny lad.
BB
what did he predict
1-1 I think andy?
Dave I think I’d prefer see raylor there for the end of the season just because santons confidence can’t be too high. Only worry is that fullbacks can get exposed in this system on quick breaks or other teams switching the play quickly as the three central midfielders need time to shift without a left wing to cover. And Danton has more pace
Is Lawro on MOTD2 tonight? I might watch it if he is
Personally would love Jonas is midfield. The handing of the captaincy speaks volumes to me. Experienced and respected player. In the middle with Cabs and Tiote and his defensive ability too…and he cant cross anyway.
Guthrie has been brilliant but those three are established international players which you need in big games
Doing research for the article, can’t find any website that’s up to date with goals and assists.
Dubtoon
lol what a pillock
Jon R
I second that
Just watched it again on MOTD because I doubted myself after you guys comments. Perch wasn’t touched at all, total con job. Compare that to Cabaye who tried to break Spearings leg at Anfield. 3 matches for Reina fuck all for Cabaye.. Seriously!!
Andy. I don’t think anyone can really argue there was enough contact for him to go down like he did. Just emotions and people trying to wind you up I’d say. There’s inconsistencies everywhere in refereeing. I don’t remember this cabaye challenge but he’s not a nasty player
Andy – Fuck off.
Andy are you seriously having a go at another team for play-acting when you have Suarez Prince Of Cheats in your side?
If Reina keeps his head (as he should do for someone of his experience) then he doesn’t get sent off. Simple as that.
Carroll set the tone for cheating pretty early on in the match, and 9 times out of ten the ref would have fallen for it. If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out.
@Andy
Not that I agree with the system:
A tackle is subjective.
There are rules that are there that refs perhaps follow too strictly:
You push your head into someone elses: red card.
Probably shouldn’t always be the case, but neither should slaps, safe tackles but with studs showing etc
Reina knows the rules, completely to blame, for once fair play to Kenny as he knows that.
http://watchhighlightsonline.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/video-cabaye-tackle-on-spearing.html
Dubtoon. Have a look then mate.
Evilfranky. Whys that bellend? Because I don’t agree with you?
Irrelevant whether he was touched or not, it was a red card regardless.
Not like a scouser to play the victim
“Always the victim, it’s never your fault!”
Andy – do you call Suarez a cheat with all his diving antics ?
Probably not. Its ok when its going your way, but you dont like it when it comes back to you.
Do you think we should have had a penalty when Jose Enrique pulled Ben Arfa to the ground with a handful of his shirt after 9 mins ?
Its quite simple, if Pap Reina didn’t react to Perch’s trip, then Perch would have been booked. End of.
Perch’s reaction was over the top, but PR brought the red card on himself with his attempted head butt. Would it have been more acceptable to you if he had made contact.
What goes around comes around, you reap what you sow. The table doesn’t lie either.
Why dont you just admit King Kenny isn’t up to the job.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Rock on.
Why is my namesake from scouseland back? We won, liverpool were outplayed get over it.
Beardleys Boots- Nope, the table doesn’t lie, nor does your total lack of any trophies in about 50 years. You are better than us this season and we still have a trophy and you don’t.
Surely dog leash and Clarke should be banned for going on the pitch during the game – gerrard basically told them to fuck off outta there, king Jenny’s created pretty much the same shambles he did when at the toon
Think Jason Roberts called it when he said there a mid table team tonight on motd2 although 2012 results have them 19th !
Andy – if you’re happy with your carling cup then why you on here moaning eh eh eh eh eh
Just while your on Andy, I would love to know how you feel about your great club fully backing suarez racially abusing Evra.
despite it being blatant and repetative.
Were you not ashamed by their stance to support him.
How would you have felt if it was the other way round
Dont you think Dogleash was pathetic by saying he should never have been banned.
Dont you agree that Dogleash is dragging your club into the gutter.
Andy, that Cabaye “challenge” on spearing earlier in the season was completely incidental, the guy was always just trying to stay on his feet rather than injure anyone.
And I really can’t believe that you’re still whinin about Perch when u probably worship Suarez and Reina just made a terrible decision anyways. Accept the stupidity of your squad and get on with it
Yes I would love NUFC to finally win a trophy in my lifetime, and it may yet come sooner than later. But I’m not the one on another clubs blog bleating about the injustices of football. boo hoo
Woohooo, never heard the “haven’t won owt” for years
We also havn’t spent well over £100m over the last year, we’ve also exceeded ours and everyone elses expectations this season.
Obviously you think “King Kenny” has for you too, well enjoy it then, instead of coming on here and trying to portray yourselves as victims again
” But I’m not the one on another clubs blog bleating about the injustices of football. boo hoo ” ……you banned from them all now then BB?
Andy, you obviously think you’re doing well and King Kenny is the guy for you, so just enjoy it and go back to your own team’s blog.
Thatll teach me for trying to be sympathetic to trolls :-/

(repeat to fade)
Kind of annoying how we have to support these pricks against Everton when Everton fans and Everton as a football club are actually a decent bunch.
…on a serious note, where the fuck was Gerrard anyway? Bellamy seemed to have been bundled into the back of an invisible Transit van around the 13 minute mark also.
Man, so good to watch us passing the fucking ball along the floor again. So much confidence in that side, and we ain’t got Stevie Wonder, Captain Curl and Marveaux in it.
Richie
Newkie…I kna, bit of a sickener like but needs must.
You have to love Lpool supporters:
They want their owners gone….check
They want Hodgson sacked….check
They want Daglish hired….check
They want massive investment….check.
Now what do they want?
aye Newkie. I’ll be supporting them for obvious reasons, but to be honest I can never really understand why there seems to be so much hatred towards Liverpool from NUFC fans.
I’ve got blue and red mates, and every time I’ve met Liverpool fans in the past they’ve always been very courteous and like the banter. I think scousers are similar to Geordies to be honest, apart from them being berra at borglarry.
a fkin hate Liverpool at the moment like, but a think that’s got more te dee wi Dalglish, Bellamy, Carroll and Enrique.
Rodz…I think Gerrard maybe thought he he was playing for England, hence he didn’t really try and was a disgrace to the shirt….that’s my theory anyway
Rodz….it’s not just us, if you go on other fans boards they are now the most hated club in the land…..even on RTG loads of the mackems hate them more than us…..how very dare they
See Guthrie saying about how he could be the reason we’ve been winning again…seems like he’s keen to keep playing and stay then? Probably should sort a new contract for him….but do we keep playing him? I can’t see how he can stay on unless we leave Jonas at left back, which could be risky on today’s showing. Then again he was decent in the game before and perchy has to stay in the middle so he can’t be on the left…Raylor would be too slow and Santon maybe too exposed?
Start with Jonas at full back next week and bring on santon for guthrie if things get tough?
rodz I never really hated LPool. But they were taking the piss when they “stole” Enrique and Carroll from us so I’m enjoying our fates at the moment for that very reason
Rodz for me it’s partly digs and partly that many seem to think they have a god given right to be at the top without earning it. That said I’ve found most pool fans I’ve met to be among the more knowledgeable
To be fair I’ve known a few scousers over the years, and generally they’re great lads, but many clubs fans have had a simmering dislike of them over the last few years and the Suarez thing this season was the straw that broke the camels back imo.
One of the worst Liverpool performances I have seen in 40 years at SJP…………….
*dogs
MDS, yeah mate I hear ya, the player-pinching thing is a proper riler
…it all points to desperation from the owners with Liverpool. A fantastic club with massive history. If they hang in there a little longer they may well turn full circle, but they need to bite the fucking bullet and sack Dalglish. He should never have been there in the first place. Just keep him for a little longer though, cos I enjoy watching his sad puppy face in post-match interviews
Richie, yeah mate I can understand that, the Suarez (apple letterbox) situation certainly helped that one on.
About fucking time some other massive club got on the receiving end for a change.
Get In.
…always looks like he’s handcuffed and totally helpless, while someone’s shitting on his very shoes.
WOO-HOOOO
…Dalglish in interviews that is
…aye Dubs, Liverpool supporters are proper fans though. Personally can’t blame them. I don’t think they think they have any more of a “god-given right” to be in the top 4, than I think NUFC should be in the top 4.
Liverpool fans expect the best, and also have history on their side to support their beliefs.
NUFC fans expect the best, cos there’s no fucking excuse for not being top.
Enrique got such a hiding off Ben Arfa. We mustn’t forget it was Benny’s move and cross that set up the first goal.
Shitting in shoes
what are you up to 
seeing his hissy fits cracks me up at times by he moans more than wenger ffs
Rodz-Aye I know what you mean mate, I have a couple of pool mates and they aint so bad, bit of arrogance in their veins but nothing out of the ordinary, usually Manure fans do my head in as I know more of them as glory hunters I guess.
Most of the time i can have a laugh with the ones I know about Carroll and the like, but as soon as it comes to them being on the tv or on the internet they;re just right bellends. Also in pubs they’re the biggest c*nts around. I live in South Wales and there’s loads down here, when I was watching the 3-1 Klanfield match and cheered at us scoring the whole lot of them gave me daggers, when they scored they all went mental at me. Guess I brought it on myself, but christ I like seing them lose
mathamatically we could still top the league at the end of the season, and 5under1and could still get relegated.
lol
Beardsley
the stuff of dreams.
Still, we don’t want the mackems to be relegated, i’d quite like the consistency of 4/6 points a season off them if you ask me
Dubs, King Kenny has a naturally moany face, I think he suffers from the same illness as Bryan Robson. Think it’s called sadlostpuppiitis or sumik.
He lives to moan, I reckon a smille would probably cause massive trauma to his cheekbones, and force his eyballs to squirt out of his head; most likely afflicting post traumatic stress on each nostril, which would undoubtedly lead to growing a moustache.
At least he hasn’t got that low yet.
BE STRONG KENNY!
Newkie, haha, yeah not in the right part of the world there mate, woolybacks abundo. There’s fk all else in them there hills.
OH MY GAAD
THEY KILLED KENNY!
al try not to me little fkin Skrillexer
…and stay off the dubstep anyway, it does nee one nee good.
…if ye want dub, try Lee Scratch Perry, or even Asian Dub Foundation.
Porsnli divnt dee too much dub like, although JUNGLE IS MASSIVE
…much rather listen to God Ween Satan, by Ween. Go, pop-pickers, be cool.
I’m off now, but probably aren’t isn’t it innit bro

Squelch the weasel
Really enjoyed that game. Perchino was MotM for me, and Williamson done good as well. As did … everybody. Though I was very concerned early doors when Bellamy outdid Jonas on a few occasions.
Yeah, Perch went down easy, but footballers are such delicate creatures that they all seem to fall over if anybody so much as breathes too close to them. Still Reina was an idiot for his reaction – signs of Liverpool frustration.
Looked like a hand ball on the line by Simpson, but also looked like Jose had a handfull of Ben Arfa earlier on (remember Williamson v 5under1and?).
And plaudits for Pardew. He deserves some hugs and kisses too.
Don’t laugh, I love you.
Oh oh, Rod is on. Must be time to go to work.
Think Everton and Tottenham have shown the way to play against Swansea-pressure pressure pressure, plus with some hard working. Think Jonas is going to be a must, wherever he plays….and everyone is going to need to put themselves about. Not too concerned from the team-they all work well, hopefully Willo, Tiote and Perch can cope with the trickery and read the game….
Dear Aunt Toonsy,
I’ve recently developed a ring of unsightly blemishes about my person.
My close friends insist it’s not them, no matter how many times I tell them to fuck off.
Would appreciate any help, thanks.
(well need a kiss emoticon here Toons
well I dont think swansea, bolton, stoke or wigan are going to be easy games like.
But we really need to screw the bobbin and try and get as many poimts as possible before the final 3. One of which is a massive 6 pointer against chelski.
can see a couple of draws in there (bolton/stoke) and a couple that could go either way (swansea/wigan).
The Lads mustn’t get too carried away with recent sucesses. But there must be a good atmosphere in the dressing room atm and confidence is sky high.
How do yous think we will do ?
Hey brisket, nee hands off cocks and on yer socks yet, enough time for ye te hit Billy Mill Roondaboot yit.
BB, I’m well confident mate.
It’s displayed itself today. The confidence within not only the men on the pitch, but the crowd also. We’re fkin rollin’ now man

Reet, Toonsy and myself made a competition up the other day, basically it meant someone won stuff. To ensure you’re in with a BIG CHANCE OF WINNING tell everyone you know, that you think you’re developing scales, on a biological level (that’ll learn them
)
Next person to post a comment gets called something inappropriate by myself anyway….
OK then, it’s just me
fucking archbishop of Cunty Berry
sellotaping custard to the inside of tractor tyre would be inappropriate also, just in case anyone was considering giving it a go.
divnt botha, waste of custard
YOU’RE ALL IDOITS!
given the fact this blog is worldwide, thus viewable by everyone in the world, coupled with the FACT that nobody entered my competition, obviously means I am the Lord.
I think it’s approaching the right time of year for all you peasants to get all fucking emotional and start eating chocolate, and make it shaped like an egg so you can play the fucking re-birth card and get all metaphorical just because you’re a fat *unt, or something.
…and none of the rabbits I’ve met have ever layed an egg either.
utter bollocks.
fucking Jesus Murdoch
My goodness, people will see only what they want to. How Liverpool fan Andy can claim that there was no contact from Reina on Perch AFTER seeing Batty’s post @4? Unbelievable. Was there enough force to knock Perch to the ground? No. Was there contact? 100% yes, LOOK AT THE PICTURE THAT SHOWS THEIR HEADS ARE TOUCHING!!!!
More importantly, great showing by the lads today. Cisse and Ba’s finishing this season have taken a solid midtable team into the top 6.
One worry- Gutierrez at LB nearly cost us the match, he was burned by Bellamy time and time again. Would I have Enrique back? Um, yes, I would.
No games are going to be easy, but we’re playing extremely well right now and can actually get better!
Great time of the season to be shifting into that top gear
Anybody catch motd tonight? I’m really curious to hear some of the crap that likely got spatted
AndrewT-Well, Carroll and Liverpool played very well, “apart from the final ball” was the consensus. Liverpool should have had a penalty, and Simmo off-says lawro- who also whined about Perch but did admit Reina deserved the red(undefendable really)
Basically said Liverpool defended poorly for both goals ( not entirely fair, we cut them apart really) and the second was offside, which I might agree with but hey these things happen. At the end though they all agreed we deserved the win, not too surprised that they favoured liverpool but what can ya say?
…as far as the Reina incident goes, my take on it was Perch knew exactly what he was doing. He’s a crafty cnt. Proper cheeky trip up. If he played for any other team I’d dislike him severely. Reina must’e eaten too much garlic in his pre match omelette to put perch down like that.
In all fairness, we got the run of the ref today, the Carroll cheating cunt yellow dive affair (sounds like a mod band), The Simpson bicep goal line clearance (sounds like a 90s indie band) and something else. and stuff, innit, was something like that, and stuff.
@172 yeah, me too
Figures, newkie. I was actually shocked when Carroll was taken off as he seemed to be their only goal threat!
oh how I chortled upon hearing the team news
(I taped this from inside Kenny Daglish’s brain) ….”I know, let’s play 433, I saw NUFC do that a bit ago and it worked, and I’ve got 3 of their ex players, so that means it evens itself out, yes
)
…I know, actually I reckon we should double bluff them by playing our most potent strike force in an attacking forward 3. They’re all good enough to score, who needs wingers, Newcastle don’t.
K. Dalglish, Milk moniter, aged 8.
..put simply, who the fk was ever gona supply Carroll in a side devoid of wingers. That’s easy for me to type.
GO ON KENNY, BYPASS THE BUMFLUFF, GROW A TASH!!
WOOO-
HOOOOOOOOOOOO
BBC News just reported that “Reina apparently headbutted defender Jamie Perch” Not sure how, but it makes Perchy seem even more of a comical figure
Yeah somehow Carroll was probably their best player, considering he fed off complete scraps. Just goes to show how the team around you can make a player-like when Carroll was with us. Also shows that the whole liverpool squad needs to be replaced
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Rodz mate you need to hit the mackem forums…or maybe the scousers and leave them some love for the morning
…Newkie, they’ll have to work out how to use my Deciduous Pancake Contracter (TM) first
Did you know? Newcastle have won 60% of Premier League games with Williamson playing this season, compared to 38% without him.
Very interesting stats for the Willo haters…
Rodz, you mental dawg
I knew all that Newks, got a hint of it at post 171.
salreet though.
…howman, gorenny pringles or owt?
…am famished
Only just saw what you did there, hah
Nah mate, bacon and egg sarnies are the rage today/this morning/whatever
I reckon, if our first 11 were breakfast items, they’d probably follow apattern as such:
Krul: Smoked salmon
Simpson: Black pudding
Colo: toffee apple
Steven Taylor: doner kebab
Santon: Morrisons Chicken Fettuccini
Gutierez – southern fried chicken wings, with chili sauce
Guthrie – anything poured over his head, unexpectedly
Tiote – 1 loaf of bread, 1 jar of marmite, a cat
Cabaye – just chips
Ben Arfa – Muesli, no raisens
Cisse – pigeon milk, semi skimmed
..aye Cabaye’s a man after mi own heart like.
(swoooon_)
lol myself out loud, on the floor, or LOLOFOL or something, loudly.
Goodbye for a few days anyway you bunch of bastards and twats.
Until next time…..
I know this is not really relevant to this post and the spectacular game last night (HWTL!) but I randomly chanced upon this 7 month old scouse article which I found really amusing in light of the state of things today.

Classy
Jokes from Kenny
– “Even if he had got past the goalie, I think he would still have fallen over. We don’t have a problem with that. We might have a problem with the yellow card because I don’t think it was intentional, him looking for a penalty kick”
Is he for real!!
@Toonsy #186
Perhaps he was struggling with the removal of his ‘keeper gloves! Ha!
Danger Dom – You do realise that that kop blog you posted was a liverpool fan taking the piss out of the others who are using the net spend logic and not someone defending it? You did get that didn’t you? Clearly not!!
