Joelinton Magic! Newcastle United 1 Southampton 0 | TF Reacts

Si and Charlotte give their instant reaction to Newcastle 1-0 victory this afternoon against Southampton at St James' Park. What a crazy way to start the season and what a performance it was by Joelinton.

Massive props to Krafth coming in and doing a job when called upon. Top quality squad player.

[Lewzz-td]

The way we responded, dug in, and organised ourselves in the 2nd half was so encouraging. Fighting spirit 🏴🏳🏴🏳🏴🏳

3 points...Si's positives actually landing today😅 and seeing Charlotte happy not a bad day 😂

Thought it was a wonderful blue collar effort from a squad that clearly cares, with a touch of class for the goal (not just Big Joe’s first touch and finish, but the precise assist from Isak as well). Barnes could’ve helped the heart health of the entire Toon Army if his first touch from Isak’s pass had been better, but we got there in the end. Joelinton was immense, but only a whole-of-squad effort was going to get us the 3 points today, along with the great support of the fans. Well done to Murphy for showing a terrific team ethic when sacrificed after Schar’s red, and great to see Kelly and Krafth come on to do a difficult job for us when required. Onwards and upwards from here … hopefully with a new signing or two, starting with Guehi in the next few days 🤞

After 'that' red, I said it's a big test of EH. Looking back to how Klipperdy managed pool with 10 against us, showed his experience.
EH did it differently, but we still got 3 points.
Game another lesson for the boss. Onwards!

One game in and I'm on beta-blockers - this team will be the end of me. My son sent me a pic of his heart rate at full-time: 159 bpm. On the up-side last season we would have lost that, no doubt

[JB-ngze]

Keep making notes Charlotte, you never know when Mad Dog and Eddie Howe may need it!😄 So glad that football's back and so are these match reactions!

[paulschlader]

Missed these, so much!

Big Joe was such a miss for us. My god was he unstoppable. Glad to see these boys grind out 3pts. Pope also when called on was class.

Dare I say feeling confident.

[ztyneisnigh]

Ref, proper pissed us off but the crowed responded and the lads defended beautifully. I thank big Joe for sending us home with a win.

[abaable]

If Fabi knew the outcome I think he would probably give a proper smack to this hippy Diaz

[gaiustesla]

Its ludicrous to ignore reality when the bloke has no sportsmanship. Deliberately shoulder barges schar from behind when the play has stopped...yellow card? then clearly everyone knows he's exaggerating and trying to get the man sent off...another yellow card....how can this be ignored??? when this is the reason why schar was getting riled up?

Its abit daft to ignore the cheater and say the person who's being cheated is in the head clashes get looked as nothing, yet a touch of heads because its aggressive is worth changing the entire game for???? Heading the ball hurts more than schars sexy bonce caressing you....

You cannot suspend your logic that much just to cowtow to the ridiculous state of play. If the ref actually did his job, this shit wouldnt happen, people wouldnt be getting flared up, they know they're being cheated.

We were a cut above them, some great defending and joelinton is back to his beast. Had to work their bollocks off for those points.

[audreyhall]

Ref was abysmal Gordon was kicked all game.
Schar is stupid to retaliate.
Diaz was a disgrace.

[devilfish]

Schar should have given him a Byker Kiss for real and it would have been a justified sending off. Hoo ever he is still class and were still "Fuckin Class"

[geoffdunn]

We desperately need pace at centre half to allow us going 1 to 1 so we can press like we used to do, signings required right now, Southampton are relegation fodder and they bossed it today 🤔

[Martayz]

The “red card” ruined the game. Good to see the lads graft for each other to pull a win out of the bag.

[chrisburton]

Red was a joke, nowhere near a butt he just leaned in slightly

[stevehill]

Charlotte is absolutely a joy to watch after a NUFC victory! I always look forward to her “fucking class” line! 😂 HWTL

[Lualuaable]

The ref needs the sack. Pawson is the worst ref in the league, continuously has changers when reffing United games. Diaz needs a ban as well, disgraceful diving and conduct.

[kwanman]

Even without the sending off we were outplayed by Southampton. Our lack of control was worrying especially at home.

[wouldbfarmer]

Why doesn't VAR ask the referee to come back and review the head-butts?
