This video will be well worth watching and it is the behind-the-scenes video (video match cam) taken by nufcTV for our first Premier League game of the season – at home to a good-looking Aston Villa.
Both sides did very well last season with Newcastle finishing in 4th place on 71 points and Villa finishing in 7th place on 61 points.
But it turned out to be a no-contest with Newcastle blowing away the Villains in the second half, after leading 2-1 at the break.
Newcastle went into a higher gear after half time and we looked absolutely awesome and added three unanswered goals for the 5-1 win.
Did I say we were awesome?
Loading ...PS – I am just finding out that the We Are Newcastle United prime video from Amazon has not been released in the US with no set date for release yet.
What?

In an unbalenced 4-3-3 ( so the case you spoke of with Burn and Tripp ), it’s the midfield wich provide the cover.
But at the some point, wether it’s the wingers, the 3 men defense or the midfield, one of the lines got to committ a player to cover the wings.
With a true 3 – 5 – 2, it’s the defense.

Comment #2243EGB,
Pretty sure, he got her pregnant and promised he’d change – I also think her parents had a heavy hand in it because money trumps their daughter’s safety and wellbeing.

Comment #2244Niafron the reason I suggested change was so Wilson and isak can be up top together if we are losing. Either that or 4312 or 442

I’m fairly certain she is pregnant by him now & that’s when she has retracted her statements!
If that’s true she’s a foolish lass!

Comment #2247And closer you do it from you own goal, more dangerous it is.
It’s why true 3 men defense is complicated ( at least if you want to have your wingers a little bit high, in wich it differ from a 5 men defense )…
Sure, 3 – 5 – 2 got other advantages, like having a strong midfield and two lads up front.

Comment #2248When Greenwood career is over in his 30s or so he could go back to abusing her again. I too think HER family pressured her into dropping charges and possible greenwood family paid the girls parents off to pressurise her

Comment #2249I’d love to understand the legal position here.
If he’s committed a physical assault on someone, and it’s on film, then surely the PCS can prosecute him for committing an offence?
Why do the charges from his victim being dropped exonerate him?
Something doesn’t make sense here. If it’s “your word against mine” scenario then I understand the complainant has to press charges, but if there’s evidence a crime occurred, then how is he let off?
Like I touched on yesterday, the police and law& order in this country has turned into a national joke, when it used to be a symbol of national pride. You’re more likely to get arrested for calling someone a name, than for beating the sh.. out of them. How’s that law & order??
Absolutely bonkers!

Comment #2250Scott,
Aye I thought that was the case – but I also think it was her Dad who was saying he didn’t believe her, Mason is such a lovely lad etc, so I am betting they’ve been leaning on her to get back with him too. Basically came across as they cared about the potential upside of being related to a millionaire footballer more than the safety of their own kid.
I have no doubt he’ll still be attacking her, people like him never learn.

Comment #2251Niafron, please do not take this as a criticism as your English is better than most Geordies.
You have been using the word wich quite often recently as in “I went for a Broon wich wasn’t very nice”.
Which is the correct word. 🙂 Keep on posting.

Sorry, didn’t read your last post before my answer above.
About this, we perfectly agree, two strikers up front ( with still a 3 men midfield ) is the main advantage of a 3 men defense.

Comment #2256Bob,
The videos and recordings were all over social media for a while. The girlfriend was the one who leaked them I believe. He didn’t just batter her, he committed SA against her too based on the recordings – he’s a monster.
No idea why CPS didn’t prosecute – perhaps because some of the evidence were only audio recordings so he always has the “that’s not me on that tape” defence.

Just for the record Mason Greenwood would not be scratting about for anything if Manure decide to cancel him . He is still contracted to them and it would cost them £7m to pay him off.

Sorry, never learned english in school ( i did german and russian…), so i make many mistakes when it come to grammar or spelling…
So 0k, could you explain me the difference?
I just made a quick search, i found “qui” for wich and “lequel” for which in french… the problem being there’s no real difference between them two in french, so i’m a bit confuse…

Comment #2262Betty,
He’d be scratting about a pub floor for the contents of his pockets and his teeth, because he’d not have the protection afforded to him by Man Utd, and some people hold very strong feelings towards the perpetrators of DA / DV.
At least his £7m would be able to sort out the Turkey teeth to repair the damage 😀

Comment #2267WTf are Man U doing? If they cant sack him because of the dropped charges, just terminate his contract.
And I ,er, have a feeling he wont pass the Eddie character test , so we wont be seeing him in B+W 🙂

Comment #2269Bob,
It does no favours to the victims (male or female) when such a high profile case doesn’t seem to go anywhere or lead to justice – especially when the perpetrator gets to continue in his very, very privileged, high profile, very well paid job.
It harms people speaking out, because what they see is the guilty party completely getting away with it.

Comment #2272Betty – I know. If the world was fair, he’d have his assets and cash stripped away and have to earn the right to live in a civilised society the hard way. People who behave like that disgust me and to think there may be fans cheering his name if he gets back on the pitch and scores is abhorrent.

Comment #2273For the CPS to prosecute, the victim has to be prepared to formally testify which may include standing up in court and giving evidence. To me, it seems that she’s had a lot of pressure put on her and doesn’t want to be dragged through the process where her private life (including in the past) may have been brought up by the defence and pasted all over the papers. Very difficult for her and perhaps an understandable decision, even if true justice won’t prevail.
It’s a shame because he deserves the full whack of the law.

Comment #2274I’m pretty sure that Man Utd could terminate his contract without paying him a penny though. His contract must have a clause about bringing the employer into disrepute and this surely qualifies. Should be grounds for instant dismissal as it would be for any other employee.
