What a day for Newcastle United! Beating Liverpool 2-0 at St James’ Park thanks to a Papiss Cisse double doesn’t even tell half the story.
Deep into the second half when the Magpies were cruising to victory, former Newcastle player Jose Enrique’s words truly came back to haunt him as he spent the last ten minutes in goal!
Just in case you need a reminder as to what Enrique said, this is what Jose stated just before he left Newcastle at the start of the season: “The club [Newcastle] are allowing all the major players in the team to go. The club will never again fight among the top six with this policy.”

Well, revenge is a dish best served cold, but it was Liverpool goalkeeper who got a bit hot under the collar and the let the afternoon’s frustrations get the better of him.
James Perch was a bit silly to trip Reina after the Spanish ‘keeper claimed a corner, but then Reina got up and head butted Perch, who then performed a fall worthy of an Oscar.
Reina was rightfully given his marching orders by referee Martin Atkinson and as Kenny Dalglish had already made three substitutes, Enrique was forced to go in goal.
Cue absolute hilarity within St James’ Park, plenty of chants aimed at Enrique and maybe this picture will be a lesson to the Spaniard that sometimes you should leave a club with your dignity intact, or it might just come back to bite you…

Yes we have won nowt again. How manure fans and bin dippers love to remind us. Still 53,000 turning up. How many would turn up at anfield without seeing a trophy for 40……. Yes 40 years. Spoilt bloody rotten!
i hope perch gets a tug from the retrospective fa panel. you can’t surely be happy that one of your players is a cheat????
Carroll?
Aside from the obvious disappointing season the pool are having is this……american owners……over spent to return to glory…..failed, won’t be able to re-invest for years and years……need a new manager but hard to find one that fits……..Steven Gerrard lost last season and most of this bringing about the sinking feeling that he will retire sooner thatn later……without Steveie G where will liverpool be?
Liverpool fan here. Well done to Newcastle, great performance and you thoroughly deserved the win. Cisse and Ba look quality up front together. I think everyone could see Perch made a meal of it but by letter of the law Reina had to go. We are to you, what Chelsea are to us. We nicked Carroll and Enrique off you whilst Chelsea nicked Torres and Merieles off us. What I would do to see Torres end up in goal against us. With a bit of luck we will bounce back next season but fair play, you deserve to be where you are this season.
Thanks James. I think it’s a shame that a team with such a great history has been reduced to what it currently is. Hopefully you can put this season behind you, maybe get rid of Suarez and even Dalglish and rebuild your reputation
Still laughing at tommy d and his text speak.
delusional nufc fans, enjoy your top 6 finish next year it will be back down to the bottom half of the table. what have nufe ever won again? oh thats right fuck all!
I think you’re confused. “Delusional” is when you say you’re team is the best in the premiership even though they haven’t won the premiership for twenty years. Enjoy your “we scraped past Cardiff on penalties” cup. Your team is a joke. Next near Papisse will get a hat trick against you and Suarez will get suspended for racially abusing him (assuming he doesn’t abandon you for a good team). Unlike you my predictions are based on actual precedents, not wishful thinking from sore losers.
PS: You can fuss all you want but you’ll have to come to terms with the result. Grow up.
That’s why we are proper fans, another trophy this year for the bindippers? 40 year wait for us, now THAT’S support.
no cups no trophys no loyal players a manager who will leave for spurs in summer oh well at least youve got steve cram an the great north run mind you whats great about a load of ponces legging it round the streets it just sounds the riots
If cups and trophies are the only measure of a club then Glasgow Rangers would be the biggest club in Britain by a mile. Boast on about the league cup as much as you want. Your team is still rubbish.
No wins, no team spirit, the poorest league performance in 50 years and a manager who will be moving to Doncaster in the summer. Better start booking your Everton season ticket for next season because only no player with any talent is going to stay at anfield for another season!
Cram supports Sunderland actually, get it right!
Why did the Newcastle fan boo Carroll?Newcastle get £35m for the donkey they should be happy!!
FORTY THREE YEARS without a trophy. At least you’ve got Denise Welch and Tim Healey to keep you amused in your geordie hovels. Now that is bollock bouncingly hilarious.
“Newcastle has 20,000 fans are 30,000 spectators”.
And a city of welfare cheats on the dole
Of course, and Liverpool fans are known for not signing on……….. hahahahahahahahaaaaa!
Liverpool fans in meltdown here, winning a trophy this year still not good enough for the spoilt ‘diehards’ that don’t realise what it’s like to support an ‘real’ underachieving club. Dry your eyes, and like one gracious fan on here just take it on the chin.
As a Toon fan it’s healthy to remember that Enrique was not the only one criticising our transfer policy at the time. His sentiments were echoed by 99% of the fans
