BBC Sport comments from ‘neutrals’ on Newcastle United after 4-1 win over Everton

Interesting to read through these BBC Sport comments, following on from Newcastle United winning 4-1 against Everton.

The comments from neutrals especially telling…

A lot of it different to what Newcastle United fans had come to expect from the BBC Sport ‘neutrals’.

The BBC Sport comments from neutrals in the past had been overwhelmingly a catalogue of abuse aimed at NUFC supporters.

Particularly stuff about the Newcastle United owners and the media-inspired pile-ons that NUFC fans have become used to, when blamed for who now owns their club.

On this occasion the politics almost entirely absent…

The BBC Sport readers comments from neutrals, some Scouse Mackem fans (as well as full-on Mackems…), plus the odd Newcastle supporter also contributing:

‘Newcastle probably still think they are a big club.

Jordan’s rare mistake was pivotal.

If it’s 1 nil at half time Everton go on to win that game … Newcastle very overrated team and club.’

‘It wasn’t one nil at half time though, so your comment is completely irrelevant’

‘If it’s 3-0 at half time Newcastle go on to win, doh’

‘And if my Aunt had balls she would have been my Uncle lol Loser!’

‘If if if. Every team could say that about every game. Completely detached from reality.’

‘Now, now settle down it’s only Newcastle that thrashed Everton and set the early fire alarms off at half time. But again what do you expect from a small club like Everton.’

‘An absolutely shocking performance.

Tim Irogebunham made my blood boil with that performance. Zero intent. Zero awareness. Zero desire. Should have been hauled off after 30 mins.

Dibling should have been given a chance second half.

Game was already dead and buried.

Credit to Newcastle for showing us how to finish chances.’

‘As a Sunderland fan it’s hard to say this but well done Newcastle you were brilliant tonight and Everton were as pathetic as they were brilliant on Monday just don’t play this well on the 14 Dec.’

‘It’s not hard to say. It’s fantastic we have both clubs together in the premiership. Dispite our colours ‘

‘Well played today but I don’t think you will have such an easy game against us at the sol this time. No decorations in the black cats bar or any free beer or any goals handed on a plate. lol.’

‘The only thing is Newcastle have 8 games in December. Including in the only Premier League game on Boxing Day.

The amount of games will take it’s toll eventually – but not much travelling to do to Sunderland!’

‘Roll on the derby for a 6 goal thriller…’

‘Thanks. Good day for North East football, Sunderland did well to turn it round.’

‘As a Newcastle fan, that was a result the club needed.’

‘Not the thumping Everton wanted or expected. From the high of Monday’s win to the low of this evening’s defeat.
Will the real Everton stand up please.’

‘Mass exodus of Everton fans at 60 minutes.

Let’s hear no more from the so called people’s club.’

‘A complete away performance. We were due to give a team a good scudding. So glad it was this lot.’

‘Saint Nick delivers once again for Newcastle.’

‘Who needs a rat?’

‘Why, you got one to sell?’

‘They are more expensive than you would think…’

‘Don’t make too much noise about him, it will alert Liverpool.’

‘Happy birthday Eddie’

‘The best present he could get ! Doesn’t need wrapping either!’

‘No, his team wrapped it up for him lol.’

‘The icing on the cake was of course the pied piper of pennywell’s howler’

‘Seeing Grealish played off the park by Livramento was brilliant. A terrible day for Pickford.

Seeing Everton fans leaving on 58 mins and blue seats everywhere by 75 mins was embarrassing.

Everton fans and club have a losers mentality. Scouse mackems.’

‘Saudi United.’

‘I’ve been watching Everton lose for 20 years. That’s the first one I’ve ever walked out of early. Woeful. Fair play to Newcastle – every player did everything better. One to forget for us.’

‘Dreadful tonight. Dreadful. Fair play to Newcastle: you took your chances. I felt at one point I was watching Liverpool playing in blue. I don’t think I could say anything worse. Maybe Moyes should orchestrate an all-out brawl in the dressing room before every match…’
