Interesting to read through these BBC Sport ‘neutrals’ comments, following on from Newcastle United drawing winning 1-0 against Chelsea.
A brilliant team performance from United.
Especially with so many players missing, including all of the first choice midfield trio not starting.
Anthony Gordon with the winning goal, to cap a non-stop individual performance up front, as well as doing a shift helping the defence.
The BBC Sport readers comments from neutrals, some from Chelsea fans, plus one or two Newcastle United supporters also contributing:
‘I don’t like Cheating Chelsea so well done Newcastle.’
‘Thank you Newcastle from a Villa fan.’
‘Thank you Newcastle from every fan!’
‘Can we just discuss that disgraceful dive from Cole palmer and the fact that Ramsey was sent off against Man U for NOT appealing after his similar incident.’
‘I still can’t believe Ramsey got sent off, a total joke decision – and I’m a Man Utd fan.’
‘Palmer stands on wolts foot, goes down writhing around. Ramsey got sent off last week for less. Joke. Then the rugby tackle in box by james yet no penalty. Absolute joke is var. Justice prevailed at end of the day.’
‘Yeah. Thiaw wrestled to the floor in the box. I promise if that had been Chelsea, the ref would have been advised to have a look!’
‘At least a dozen times this season Newcastle have had absolutely ridiculous decisions against them. I know they say it all evens out but it’s been insane.’
‘In the other game at SJP Chalobah got away with an assault in the box too.’
‘After watching how VAR gave chelsea an undeserved win against Wrexham its amazing it didnt happen again today’
‘As far as the refs go, Chelsea are untouchable’
‘Can we just discuss that disgraceful dive from Cole Palmer.’
‘Let’s also look at Gordon’s dive.’
‘The one where the defender actually kicked him before getting the ball?’
‘Let’s look at the full time result.’
‘Yea but imagine having to live in Newcastle.’
‘Only if you’re lucky. Fresh air, wonderful scenery, polite people and sensible prices. Yeah, just imagine that!’
‘The one when Fofana kicked him before getting to the ball? That one?!’
‘Tierney even joined Chelsea’s team huddle.’
‘Newcastle were clever and played well.’
‘Excellent defensive performance from Newcastle. Gordon, especially, worked his socks off.’
‘As a Chelsea fan, it burns the eye watching rosenior’s Chelsea play’
‘Well played Newcastle and seriously bad manners by CHelsea hogging the halfway line with your huddle – karma baby.’
‘That huddle should be stopped by the PL’
‘It’s the most cringeworthy thing in football since Richard Keys.’
‘They need to huddle for warmth…they don’t run enough to keep warm.’
‘Newcastle have been performing well in the last month or so, some good results which is well handy at this time of the season.
Chelsea- you wouldn’t known where to start.
Brentford their neighbours are just as good arguably and they haven’t spent a 1/5h of what Chelsea have spent.
For me, that says it all.’
‘(Liverpool fan) Thank you Newcastle for this away win. Best of luck to you against Barcelona.’
