Here are the video highlights from NBC Sports of our 5-1 beating of Aston Villa this afternoon in our first league game of the season.
An (another) incredible performance from Eddie Howe’s side and we could be even better than last season, but of course, we have a lot more games to play this season with the Champions League – and we mustn’t get carried away.
Well, not too much, anyway.
🙂
But the result and performance in our first game of the season could hardly have been better.
We wonder what Sandro Tonali will be thinking tonight – he put in a world-class performance today, scored after 6 minutes, and it just how good our recruitment team is – led by Sporting Director Dan Ashworth.
Newcastle are in a good place right now – amnd it’s likelyto get better too – hope so.
Here are the highlights (you can put it on full screen by clicking at the bottom right corner after you hit the link) that will have the City Center of Newcastle buzzing all next week.
🙂
Here is Eddie Howe’s interview with NBC Sports after the game.

Comment #81I hope no-one has parted with cash to watch this boxing event tonight, it’s been extremely poor.

Comment #82Dont worry about who sits on the bench and how Eddie will rotate and keep everyone happy…he will make sure everyone plays enough games to qualify for their Premiership champions medal!
Still struggling for words and superlatives…

Comment #86Regan,
Anyone worth a light would have been battering that cut, but Washington is awful. Chisora should have retired though, the amount of wars he’s had there has to be some permanent damage up top, and any more heavy blows to the head could kill him.

Comment #92Regan,
Aye, blood stoppage is a possibility like, but Chisora has had the better of the last couple of rounds.
Then Washington takes that round as I’m typing 😀

Comment #95I’m still a bit stunned.
By my reckoning, Isak could have had 5, Wilson could have had 2, Miggy should have had 1,
Add in the Barnes & Tonali goals makes it 10 – 1, and they couldn’t complain. 😀
According to stats, we had 17 shots – 13 x on target, that is so much better than last season, what a difference this is going to make.
I might have to rethink my guess that we’ll come 2nd. 😉
Simon, glad you liked the Curry, was there on Thursday (again).

Comment #96Washington’s problem is he doesn’t block any of Chisoras haymakers which he throws at will and then goes entire rounds without throwing a punch. Mental for a pro boxer to throw so few punches for rounds at a time.
It’s close fight for me, but a terrible one. Not as bad as the Hrgovic one mind, that was truly awful. Hrgovic will get battered by any of the top 4-5.

Comment #97It makes a huge difference being able to bring on “game changers” as subs.
We ran them ragged for 70 minutes, then brought on Wilson, Murphy, Longstaff and Barnes, bloody hell. 😀 😀

Exactly.
It’s just something about the way that ducks fly that I like, especially mallards.
I imagine the broiler ducks bred for consumption don’t fly.
Chicken is delicious.

Comment #107Really looking forward to next week.
Can’t say I’ve felt like that ahead of City away for a good few years. 😉
I thought 3-0 today, but 5-1 just feels so much better. 😀

Comment #115Good evening guys – just a quick summary of your predictions.
A total of 73 of you made a prediction – a bit down on previous years but still a good effort.
Running a few stats we have an average league position of 4th with an average of 74 points. In the cups we average out to reaching the semi-finals of both the League and FA cups and in the Champions League the Quarter Finals.
For Player of the Season the favourite is Joelinton selected by 28.8% followed by Isak & Barnes both selected by 21.9% of you.
Finally there are only 3 contenders for Top Goal Scorer – Isak selected by a massive 75.3% then Wilson with 17.8% and Barnes with 6.8% with an average of 21 goals!
In previous years I have found the averages to be not that far from the actual results so it wouldn’t be a bad season but it would be nice to win something 🙂

Comment #120I didn’t think I would ever go to St. James again.
But I got there today first time since before Xmas,
OMG.
I WANT TO DANCE WITH TONALI
MY MAN OF THE MATCH. MAGNIFICENT MEAN AND MOODY.
what a player.
First half Villa played well. But we again were brilliant second half, still smashing it right to the final whistle. Izaks second goal so amazing,
Had to leave a little early as I was still getting dizzy, but this lovely bloke took my arm and helped me down the stairs ha ha, felt like 100 years old.
I txt my son to say I want my ST back.
What a game what an atmosphere. I was in dream land.
Bodes well for the rest of the season.
Did I say how absolutely brilliant my TOONALI was.
