Journalist does Newcastle United hatchet job – Answering point by embarrassing pointYou don’t normally need to wait long for a journalist trying to do a hatchet job on Newcastle United.
Not long after, Mike Ashley bought the club, quickly becoming despised by just about everyone, which engendered sympathy and empathy: at some point, fans of every team have hated their owners. The Ashley era became a cause celebre, a 15-year slog to get the noble club of Milburn and Macdonald and Shearer away from the clutches of the Sports Direct magnate and his giant mugs.Their results, their manager, some of their players and sometimes the way they play are all easy to respect, admire even.
Actually, I recall it was the exact opposite, if you saw anything from any national journalist, especially if based in London / The South, it was invariably to laugh at and ridicule the Newcastle fans. ‘With Newcastle, they have made it a virtue. Games against Chelsea in November and Arsenal in January featured a wide array of pulling, pushing, nudging, kicks and more assorted irritations, designed to disrupt their more established opponents. Understandable in the circumstances? Perhaps, but it felt odd to watch a team with more money than God play like a League Two side visiting one of the big boys on FA Cup third-round weekend.
‘…what is interesting over the last season has been how unlikeable Newcastle have become on the pitch, too. Journalist matey declares ‘They would describe all of this as ‘game management’… well, seen as he has failed to bother to give any evidence whatsoever to back up his hatchet job on Newcastle United, I have ‘described’ below how I see it.From the way the journalists go on, you would think match after match every manager this season has been moaning about the outrageous ‘time-wasting’ from NUFC.
Amazingly, we have Sam Allardyce to thank for the best possible putdown when a journalist tried to get him on the anti-Newcastle ‘time-wasting’ bandwagon. Fat Sam absolutely slapped him down, saying that Klopp, Arteta and ten Hag were exactly the same, willing on any occasion to do what was necessary to manage a game out.
