    The issue with Newcastle is that they’re so physical you can’t even play the kids without risking crippling your entire academy. Honestly we’re lucky only to escape with one injury after playing them. Every single time.

      There needs to be something done about them, I’m ngl. Something about the north and being coddled by media and allowed to be so physical. We’re not even as physical as them and definitely way less dirty and yet we’re constantly lambasted for… existing?

          You mention that and I heard recently MLS is getting lambasted by certain elements of the media for mimicking Haaland’s celebration when his non-coloured counter parts would be lauded for the courage and bravery he displayed.

          Rules for thee but not for me

            I’ve also recently heard the PL is warning players about mocking celebrations? Wtf is the world coming to??? Lol

            Funny how it’s now an issue after an Arsenal player does it.
