What an absolutely imperious performance. Jamaal Lascelles deserves an incredible amount of praise stepping in for Botman. The fact we have so many injuries and can still go and command a match in this way is just pure magic. A match and result we’ll be talking about for years in the NE.
@@dddgtsd that was non-newcastle fans and newcastle fans with foreign sounding names. i think the true fans accept it if we come back down to earth for a season, although with results like this we're still on cloud 9
@@SirAmnesia true, I wasn't referring to our fans in that comment. You do still get some idiots who questioned him getting rid of Maxi which to me made complete sense. But managers shouldn't be completely immune to criticism but just need to see the bigger picture - people say Toon fans have unreal expectations but the way we stuck by Howe after a bad start (results wise) shows there is a really good bond there between players/staff/fans.
I'm a Toon fan, 33 years old, shed tears tonight, just unreal man. Seen us relegated twice, never thought I'd see us back in the CL, to have 2 Geordie lads score and see Lascelles captain us out in the UCL after captaining us out of the Championship is emotional stuff.
I'm 34 and still remember every part of the night beating Barcelona in 97. Just said this is another game I'll remember every part of in another 26 years. What an overall team performance!
I am a Newcastle fan and I feel like nobody outside our fanbase really understands us, because they don't want to take the time to understand what Howe and the owners are about. We've been making jaws hit the floor in the UK for 2 years now and all we're seeing is European fans doing the same - AC Milan dismissed us, PSG didn't even think we were capable of this (or else they wouldn't have played 4-2-4) and if Dortmund don't switch on, then they're getting it too. People keep thinking "Oh, surely the big money signings are coming, Oh, surely this is just Oil money, Oh, if Newcastle want to do anything like CITEH, they have to do it THIS way..." And none of it really applies. It's cognitive dissonance - when you don't understand how something is happening, you search for comforting explanations and stereotypes, like "Hey, let's put the fat belly NUFC man up again! Hey, let's make some Greggs jokes! Hey, remember when you punched horses?" Yes, the crowd was immense but it always is and the crowd alone doesn't score 4 goals against a £1Bn top-class side. That's fitness and skill and tactics, all day and all night. And people keep looking past us and put it down to a "fairytale". Because then it can be filed under F for Fluke. There is nothing flukey about this - we're not in the CL by accident! We got there because our manager is committed to continuous improvement and he's lifted up players who were being wasted and unlocked their potential, whilst he also brought in players who are just as committed to that vision. The club is absolutely united and the sky is the limit. And finally, let me kill the toxic gaslighting suggestion that we're "deluded" and that we think we somehow "deserve" this. No! That's the Liverpool fanbase you're thinking of- the air of entitlement and privilege. That's the Man Utd fanbase you're thinking of - living off past glories. That's the big London clubs you're thinking of - buying, buying, buying and SCREW FFP. And because we wanted a team that TRIES to be what we knew they could be, then "how dare we"(!) We got here by pulling ourselves up, so we're despised by the Cartel, because we've eaten their fourth gravy-train spot. And then we go and do this. Massacre PSG 4-1. Something that they dream about themselves. I have been following this club for 44 years and I have never been more proud of this club and my city and I don't care what anyone tries to tell me about NUFC. HWTL

HWTL&L ❤🖤🤍⚽🍒...
Mate, as a Newcastle fan I’m fucking ECSTATIC!! I’m genuinely crying rn, this is beautiful. I’m so lucky to be able to watch my club succeed like this ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️
Absolutely incredible result, I actually started tearing up watching the highlights thinking about where we've been the last 15 years to where we are now. Dan Burns journey from starting at non-league Darlington to being released from Fulham at 25 to now scoring against Mbappes PSG in the Champions League is why we all love football.
My dad took me to my first match when I was 5. I was there for two relegations and I shed tears when the news broke that they had let Rafa walk. Wednesday night, I watched as my beautiful club shook the very foundations of the UEFA League. Once again I was in tears, but by god for such different reasons. By the final whistle I was an emotional wreck. I have never known anything like this since Frodo’s closing scenes in The Return of The King, realising that history was being carved in front of my very eyes and I’ll tell you what, I’ll be telling my kids, my grand kids and my great grand kids about the night Jamaal Lascelles had Mbappe in his back pocket.
I was at the game, in the Gallowgate end, and its by far one of the best moments of my life when Miggy scored. PSG were naive the way they set up and we punished them as we’ve done to teams for TWO YEARS. One of the great wins at St James Park. Unforgettable
From my first FA cup final defeat against Liverpool to the League Cup defeat against MU, we will always believe in our club. In spite of 5 decades of second place and runners up medals, a change is coming. Maybe not just yet, but soon.
Im honestly speechless. Lascelles was absolutely immense and our midfield just overloaded theirs. Id love to see what PSG did in prep, as they obviously didnt watch a single minute of us playing, it was honestly, too easy. Tonali was unreal and Bruno, wow, his best performance in a while. Ive personally not seen a performance that good from us for a long, long, long time.
To me it was pure arrogance, if felt like they believed their supreme quality would be too much for plucky Newcastle. At the end of the game every Newcastle player was dripping with sweat. Mbappe, Dembele and a few others didn’t have a bead of sweat on them. There’s no excuse for losing 4-1 and not working your arse off. PSG just didn’t seem prepared, I wouldn’t be happy if I was a PSG fan tonight given how little hunger they seemed to show. Very proud of Newcastle though, Dortmund might take us a little more seriously now lol
@exotikfooty Obviously a great performance, but they were so so so poor and so off it, once a couple went in it was curtains. That performance was cut throat. The PSG performance was measured, high press, high intensity from everyone.
Think it shows how much Howe has made sure the players know what it means to the fans. Properly connecting with them and using them to energise themselves. A cb in 90th minute shouldn't be winning a ball that high up the pitch but he's taught them all to just not give a fuck and put the pressure on.
My grandad took me to the champions league games as a kid 20 years ago, sadly he passed away 2 years ago, luckily I got to take my son to the game last night and I wore his toon top he gave me before he passed for good luck! memeories my son will never forget ! Unbelievable night
Great performance by the lads and pleased I was there to witness it. On a personal note James, and not just because you're bigging up Newcastle, I think your videos are excellent. No gimmicks or trying to be funny like the clowns on "The Club" channel. Just an excellent match analysis. I say I was there but you've highlighted several points I didn't pick up. Keep up the good work.
Newcastle fan here. Still reeling from last night, it was one of those moments in your life you know you will never ever forget. “Where were you when toon smashed PSG.” It makes you proud to be a Geordie. I wrote my thought down and realised the team play like the culture of working class geordies. Passion, character and unrelenting work ethic. Newcastle won because every player on the pitch works for every other player on the pitch. PSG lost because everyone of their players play for themselves. Longstaff had no right scoring that goal, he just wasn’t tracked. The nearest player too him had a body language of “someone else’s get him” which sums up their night. Gordon tracked back to get my apple to conced a foul in newcastles box - sums up our night. Great night for the North East and will never forget it.
Nights like these don’t come along too often as a Newcastle fan. Hopefully more to come. I can hardly talk, after shouting and singing through the match. What an atmosphere.
Feeling electric! Will be forever etched into our history. For me, this is Eddie's greatest moment. Reaching a cup final and getting to the CL was hugely impressive, but today he made a memory that will last forever for Newcastle fans (similar to our 3-2 vs Barca). Happy for my granddad who has had a season ticket for many decades and put up with a lot of shit football to now witness this.
I’m so pleased for the players who survived the Ashley era tonight! And Eddie’s starting to reveal the depth of his squad considering all those injuries we have. How well drilled are ALL of Eddie’s players? HWTL
@andyh323 Including Pope, it would be 47 million. But that is still impressive, considering Ben White alone is 50+ million. Also, Lascelles and Schar were there before the saudis and were the two best in the back line.
Newcastle fan here. Was watching it at the local pub. It didn't feel like 27% possession mostly because psg did nothing with it except for their one goal. It felt comfortable the whole time. I'm over the moon right now. Tomorrow morning my head is gonna be struggling
About the VAR comments I can't agree. There was something quite magical about Big Dan Burn standing on his own in front of the crowd when his goal was given. Then he was mobbed by team mates as the crowd erupted. Awesome!
Longstaff should be considered ahead of Henderson and Phillips for England. If that performance does not show that he has the quality to give Bellingham freedom and chip in attacking also. I don’t know what.
The fact that you can not call out one player and say they didn't play well, but the fact that TWO local lads along with Miggy and Schar from our Ashley days made the difference in our first game back in the Champions League at St James Park is Football Romance, I am elated beyond belief.
If i had one word to sum that up... It would be 'passionate' and it's so refreshing! I remember watching Newcastle as a young one & enjoying it and tonight brought back those memories. Well in Newcastle! From a Palace fan
Ridiculous game! Everyone turned up tonight and took it to PSG. So glad I was there to witness it. Got to be the best game I have ever experienced at SJP. My mate sat next to me nearly fainted celebrating that fourth goal! 😂
I was so proud of our players tonight that even by half-time I was very emotional! I can't put into words how happy I am and how proud I am of Eddie Howe and the lads. A historic performance and I am in bloody dreamland! 😊
Newcastle was amazing. Congrats to all the fans. Their press was spectacular and reminded me of prime Liverpool. Every loose touch was gobbled up. Possession was that lopsided? Didn't feel like that at all
Newcastle fan here, I'm on cloud 9. Unbelievable. Nerves were running high before the game. As soon as the first goal went in whoosh, the adrenaline and sheer positivity came through and never stopped. Magic.
Only 27% possession, but, it's what you do with it that counts. Don't forget, 3 of the goalscorers were with Newcastle under Ashley and Steve Bruce too.
Just got back home. And wow, I was confident but never thought we’d score 4. Fabian with a proper UCL goal to fully kill it. I love this squad and staff! HWTL!
I'm just speechless, and I mean that literally as my voice was gone before the match begun. Certainly the best night ever at St James' Park for me. Proud of this team. Proud of this club.
Mate it doesn't feel real, it was absolutely outstanding. I've never felt SJP like that ever and I was there for Newcastle 3 Barcelona 2. This is different, this is the beginnings of something special here.
The list is endless: Lascelles, Dummett, Kraft, Joelinton, Longstaff, Willock, Murphy, Almiron and Schar. All players that have improved massively under Eddie Howe. From Championship certainties to Premier League and Champion's League contenders.
Feeling like, Eddie Howe has turned 5 average players (pre-takeover) into Champions League players. Credit to firstly the players for their dedication but Eddie Howe has brought a game plan, work rate and purpose to this team. Have been waiting 20 years for this. Great night!❤⬛️⬜️
Newcastle fan from Australia. im still running off pure adrenaline at the moment. I was at work watching it on my phone when it kicked off at 5:30 am. Luckily, my manager let me watch the full match because that was an amazing performance, and I'm just so proud of all the players. Let's keep pushing in the prem and champions league. Howay The Lads
Superb Jimmy, love the analysis as always, possession meant nothing in this game, from the start it felt like Newcastle were the better team, thought the two CB's were the pick of the bunch, my old slight concern with Newcastle is their depth in that position, then again Dummet got a clean sheet against a strong Ciity side, so who really cares! Midfield was the key today, bruno brilliant in the first half (although lucky not to be sent off for punching the bloke), Longstaff and Tonali excellent in both, still think Tonali needs calm down when he does so well to win the ball back but in a game like this it was so valuable, the ability to run, at pace, to win the ball back. Love it Jim!
Bruno punched no-one! The guy was flagging so he just tried to help him along with a very gentle push. The guy was just off balance and fell over. Where's the gratitude I ask? 🤣
I've never had the pleasure to witness Newcastle in the champions league as the last time we were in the competition I was just 3 years old but from tonight's game all I have is pride and to have two Geordies score makes it that much better. I only wish I could have been there in person.
I loved this. I'm a Watford fan but Newcastle have always been my second team, my cousin supported them and Alan Shearer made me want to play football! This team is way ahead of schedule. Still full of players that were there under Steve Bruce. The superstars they had; Bruno, Tonali, Isak and Trippier. Gordon was a big signing but he's still a work in progress, Nick Pope is third or fourth choice England keeper who came from relegation Burnley. Jacob Murphy played, Jamal Lascelles played. Almiron was a punchline until Howe came in. PSG have a team of stars, almost every player walks into almost every other big team. I hope this spirit and fight stays and isn't filtered out by mercenaries over the next decade.
Am i pinching myself? Yes. Was this on the cards before kick off? Yes. ? Am i a moist slug? Yes. Are we winning the champions league?... Tonights the night for dreaming boys up the toon ⚫️⚪️
Easily the best ever night at Newcastle during my lifetime. As we always said in the Ashley days we just wanted a team that tries and honestly I don't think you could find a more passionate and hard working team at the moment. Schar goal a testament- what a bloody screamer x
Toon fan here. That was a historic moment for us. No trophy. But we spanked France's best club. A club which happened to contain the worlds best player, apparently. Apart from a sweet cross in the opening 10 mins for a Dembele shot (close), he did F all. Or should I say our defence, and in some cases our Midfield, marked him out of the game. Cracking performance by our lot.
I am absolutely buzzing. As an American fan since right before the Ashley years, it has been a rough ride at times. The atmosphere of St. James and the hard work ethic culture of the club drew me in and I think tonight really encapsulated that feeling. We were missing Botman, Wilson, and Joelinton, all integral members of the squad. Lascelles and Longstaff start and play out of their fucking skulls. Then Schär scores one of his signature THUNDERFUCKS of a goal to cap it all off. I mean, truly a great performance and a game i'm sure I'll never forget. ⚫⚪
He got sacked from 2/3 last jobs and spent Mohammad bonesaw money to build a team, idk if that's world class. If he is world class, big ange must be sir Alex born again since he's a serial winner.
@jaquandrejones spent all that money but 3 of our 4 goal scorers were already at the club pre takeover and burn cost 12 mil or something. Mbappe costs more than all combined
Totally agree with what u said about Newcastle playing in a flat line out of possesion. Felt like it was a risk because of zaire-emery attacking the half-spaces behind the midfield, but fortunately they were really wasteful and sloppy with the ball.
Almiron, Schar, Longstaff all scored tonight, were all expected to be surplus once the takeover.. Up step Eddie Howe. The man is a genius. We (Bournemouth) fans all knew it and finally the world has heard us.. GENIUS.
Amazing stuff. Pressing all the way to the last minute. Have to say PSG looked pretty lazy for the most part. Also both PSG and AC Milan seemed to have much lower quality passing than we are used to in the PL. some great inspired passes (from Milan at least)at times but they lost the ball to us so often it was like Christmas
Newcastle fan here....really great performance. Howe gets the best out of these guys....ok we have spent money but it has been done wisely. But schar, almiron, longstaff, lascelles, joelinton all.players that were bang average...now playing really well each week. Eddie howe has been outstanding 👏
Was sad that I never got to see Newcastle beat Barca in the UCL and wondered if I’d ever see us be competitive again after the pain of sacking Benitez and the Ashley years. I’m loving every minute of it! 🎉
Im a Newcastle fan and I'm absolutely pumped our midfield dominated them!! Credit to PSG they were great but underestimated us and with their 4222 formation they failed to see where we shine is our midfield. They paid the price.
Newcastle fan. When Schar’s goal went in I was literally out of my seat laughing, it couldn’t actually be any better Also how the f* is it 1xg when we scored 3 goals from 5 yards out lol
Probably because Longstaff’s goal shouldn’t be being conceded by a professional keeper so it has a low xG component. Burn’s goal also had a lot of people around him who also could’ve won the ball I guess.
1:30 Slight correction James, we acquired Burn after the takeover but your point is well taken about the supposed level that people thought those 4 scorers were at compared to what they have shown under Howe.
James, this is a fantastic video. Your passion for football really shines through here. As a Newcastle fan I’ve yet to come down from the ceiling following my best night yet in 33 years following NUFC. Thanks for letting me relive it again this morning!
absoultley nothing wrong with celebrating giving a goal kick away like as if we scored, i love it. atmosphere is absolutley bouncing and i like to think we do our bit to help the lads out
At the start of last season I replied to one of your tweets saying we’d finish top 6. You quoted my tweet as an example of a deluded geordie no doubt 😂 We’re massively on the up! Schar MOTM Eden before his goal but they’re just such great game plans Howe is putting together now - you can take your pick if 4 or 5 every game who were outstanding!
This win is a for management a win for Eddie Howe and a win for football. Yes we have spent some money like everyone else but 3 out of 4 goal scorers were pre take over players all classed as ‘not good enough for the prem’ 2 out of 4 of the goal scorers were local lads. Absolutely buzzing!!

What an absolutely imperious performance. Jamaal Lascelles deserves an incredible amount of praise stepping in for Botman. The fact we have so many injuries and can still go and command a match in this way is just pure magic. A match and result we’ll be talking about for years in the NE.
The mentality to have been training like this in the background, and only being revealed now… what an inspiration!

Reaching a cup final and getting to the CL was hugely impressive, but today he made a memory that will last forever for Newcastle fans (similar to our 3-2 vs Barca). Happy for my granddad who has had a season ticket for many decades and put up with a lot of shit football to now witness this.
absolutely unreal, was giggling like a baby by the end
I’m so pleased for the players who survived the Ashley era tonight! And Eddie’s starting to reveal the depth of his squad considering all those injuries we have. How well drilled are ALL of Eddie’s players? HWTL
37 Million pounds spent on the backline used in that game. 2 from Ashely era as well. So impressed with them.
No, no, no. It was 42, thanks to the Saudis, of course. That included Pope. Figures just from Wiki that is 🤣
@andyh323 Including Pope, it would be 47 million. But that is still impressive, considering Ben White alone is 50+ million. Also, Lascelles and Schar were there before the saudis and were the two best in the back line.
Newcastle fan here. Was watching it at the local pub. It didn't feel like 27% possession mostly because psg did nothing with it except for their one goal. It felt comfortable the whole time. I'm over the moon right now. Tomorrow morning my head is gonna be struggling
About the VAR comments I can't agree. There was something quite magical about Big Dan Burn standing on his own in front of the crowd when his goal was given. Then he was mobbed by team mates as the crowd erupted. Awesome!
Longstaff should be considered ahead of Henderson and Phillips for England. If that performance does not show that he has the quality to give Bellingham freedom and chip in attacking also. I don’t know what.
He won't get a look in, cause Henderson and Phillips are locks since they are Gareths favourites.
@@champdude17 don’t disagree with you. But he would do a good job
Henderson shouldn't be anywhere near the squad in the first place🤣
He is the magic sauce- tonali and Bruno have never played so well together.
I was very impressed with both of them tonight. Immense
The fact that you can not call out one player and say they didn't play well, but the fact that TWO local lads along with Miggy and Schar from our Ashley days made the difference in our first game back in the Champions League at St James Park is Football Romance, I am elated beyond belief.
If i had one word to sum that up... It would be 'passionate' and it's so refreshing!
I remember watching Newcastle as a young one & enjoying it and tonight brought back those memories.
Well in Newcastle!
From a Palace fan
Ridiculous game! Everyone turned up tonight and took it to PSG.
So glad I was there to witness it. Got to be the best game I have ever experienced at SJP. My mate sat next to me nearly fainted celebrating that fourth goal! 😂
I was so proud of our players tonight that even by half-time I was very emotional! I can't put into words how happy I am and how proud I am of Eddie Howe and the lads. A historic performance and I am in bloody dreamland! 😊
What a performance from Lascelles !
Newcastle was amazing. Congrats to all the fans. Their press was spectacular and reminded me of prime Liverpool. Every loose touch was gobbled up. Possession was that lopsided? Didn't feel like that at all
Newcastle fan here, I'm on cloud 9. Unbelievable. Nerves were running high before the game. As soon as the first goal went in whoosh, the adrenaline and sheer positivity came through and never stopped. Magic.
Brilliant analysis, that is all. Just hope you haven't shared it with PSG, ACM or BD. Ty for that
Only 27% possession, but, it's what you do with it that counts. Don't forget, 3 of the goalscorers were with Newcastle under Ashley and Steve Bruce too.
Just got back home. And wow, I was confident but never thought we’d score 4. Fabian with a proper UCL goal to fully kill it. I love this squad and staff! HWTL!
Great to hear you talking positive about us, we do enjoy being the underdogs though so keep it going😂
I'm just speechless, and I mean that literally as my voice was gone before the match begun. Certainly the best night ever at St James' Park for me. Proud of this team. Proud of this club.
First time seeing your video. Love the insight mate!
Amazing night. Still cannot beleive it. Also, JLA giving better analysis than anybody at TNT sports. Superb work mate.
Mate it doesn't feel real, it was absolutely outstanding. I've never felt SJP like that ever and I was there for Newcastle 3 Barcelona 2. This is different, this is the beginnings of something special here.
The list is endless: Lascelles, Dummett, Kraft, Joelinton, Longstaff, Willock, Murphy, Almiron and Schar. All players that have improved massively under Eddie Howe. From Championship certainties to Premier League and Champion's League contenders.
Feeling like, Eddie Howe has turned 5 average players (pre-takeover) into Champions League players. Credit to firstly the players for their dedication but Eddie Howe has brought a game plan, work rate and purpose to this team. Have been waiting 20 years for this. Great night!❤⬛️⬜️
Grinning from ear to ear. 😆😆 Love this team! ⚫️⚪️

Waking up as a Newcastle fan this morning after a 4-1 win against PSG AND seeing a new Jim upload about it.
Heaven.
Been a Newcastle fan all my life. Can't believe what Howe has done with the club! The sleeping giant has been awoken!
Newcastle fan from Australia. im still running off pure adrenaline at the moment. I was at work watching it on my phone when it kicked off at 5:30 am. Luckily, my manager let me watch the full match because that was an amazing performance, and I'm just so proud of all the players. Let's keep pushing in the prem and champions league. Howay The Lads
As a Newcastle fan I can’t believe it, one of the best game’s I’ve seen. Everybody worked their socks off, Lascelles, Schär and Bruno were amazing🖤🤍
Superb Jimmy, love the analysis as always, possession meant nothing in this game, from the start it felt like Newcastle were the better team, thought the two CB's were the pick of the bunch, my old slight concern with Newcastle is their depth in that position, then again Dummet got a clean sheet against a strong Ciity side, so who really cares! Midfield was the key today, bruno brilliant in the first half (although lucky not to be sent off for punching the bloke), Longstaff and Tonali excellent in both, still think Tonali needs calm down when he does so well to win the ball back but in a game like this it was so valuable, the ability to run, at pace, to win the ball back. Love it Jim!
Bruno punched no-one! The guy was flagging so he just tried to help him along with a very gentle push. The guy was just off balance and fell over. Where's the gratitude I ask? 🤣
I've never had the pleasure to witness Newcastle in the champions league as the last time we were in the competition I was just 3 years old but from tonight's game all I have is pride and to have two Geordies score makes it that much better. I only wish I could have been there in person.
Love you James
Love you too pal. Happy for ya
I loved this. I'm a Watford fan but Newcastle have always been my second team, my cousin supported them and Alan Shearer made me want to play football!
This team is way ahead of schedule. Still full of players that were there under Steve Bruce.
The superstars they had; Bruno, Tonali, Isak and Trippier.
Gordon was a big signing but he's still a work in progress, Nick Pope is third or fourth choice England keeper who came from relegation Burnley.
Jacob Murphy played, Jamal Lascelles played.
Almiron was a punchline until Howe came in.
PSG have a team of stars, almost every player walks into almost every other big team.
I hope this spirit and fight stays and isn't filtered out by mercenaries over the next decade.
Newcastle was fucking amazing btw this comes from a PSG fan. We got ass fucked. The formation was bad. We tried to play like Brighton and failed.
Am i pinching myself? Yes. Was this on the cards before kick off? Yes. ? Am i a moist slug? Yes. Are we winning the champions league?...
Tonights the night for dreaming boys up the toon ⚫️⚪️
Easily the best ever night at Newcastle during my lifetime. As we always said in the Ashley days we just wanted a team that tries and honestly I don't think you could find a more passionate and hard working team at the moment. Schar goal a testament- what a bloody screamer x
We want positivity and passion. We play like this and the rewards will come. But the desire has to come first.
As a Newcastle supporter how am I feeling? Delirious delirious I’m feeling frigging delirious. We’re top of the group😎
The best night for 20 years. Big Dan Burninho! Schar was immense.
Toon fan here. That was a historic moment for us. No trophy. But we spanked France's best club. A club which happened to contain the worlds best player, apparently. Apart from a sweet cross in the opening 10 mins for a Dembele shot (close), he did F all. Or should I say our defence, and in some cases our Midfield, marked him out of the game. Cracking performance by our lot.
I am absolutely buzzing.
As an American fan since right before the Ashley years, it has been a rough ride at times. The atmosphere of St. James and the hard work ethic culture of the club drew me in and I think tonight really encapsulated that feeling. We were missing Botman, Wilson, and Joelinton, all integral members of the squad. Lascelles and Longstaff start and play out of their fucking skulls. Then Schär scores one of his signature THUNDERFUCKS of a goal to cap it all off. I mean, truly a great performance and a game i'm sure I'll never forget. ⚫⚪
no season is complete without a schar thunderfuck lmao
ICONIC NIGHT! WHAT A WIN! Man for man you can be proud of every one of our players. Lascelles, Almiron, Longstaff. Burn!
Much respect to Howe that longstaff performance was near perfect
Put some respect on Eddie Howe. He is a world class manager.
He got sacked from 2/3 last jobs and spent Mohammad bonesaw money to build a team, idk if that's world class. If he is world class, big ange must be sir Alex born again since he's a serial winner.
@@jaquandrejonesleft bournmouth by mutual consent
@@jaquandrejones mate my dog could win the league in Scotland calm your flaps
@jaquandrejones spent all that money but 3 of our 4 goal scorers were already at the club pre takeover and burn cost 12 mil or something. Mbappe costs more than all combined
@@jaquandrejones most delusional comment ever 🤣
Totally agree with what u said about Newcastle playing in a flat line out of possesion. Felt like it was a risk because of zaire-emery attacking the half-spaces behind the midfield, but fortunately they were really wasteful and sloppy with the ball.
Burn came after the takeover dude, which is maybe even more amazing
Eddie is a Genius. We battered PSG who massively underestimated us!
What a performance from everyone. Eddie howe is man of the match for rhe way he has brought the team together ❤
Almiron, Schar, Longstaff all scored tonight, were all expected to be surplus once the takeover.. Up step Eddie Howe. The man is a genius. We (Bournemouth) fans all knew it and finally the world has heard us.. GENIUS.
Damn right, from a Toon fan.
Amazing stuff. Pressing all the way to the last minute.
Have to say PSG looked pretty lazy for the most part.
Also both PSG and AC Milan seemed to have much lower quality passing than we are used to in the PL. some great inspired passes (from Milan at least)at times but they lost the ball to us so often it was like Christmas
Newcastle fan here....really great performance. Howe gets the best out of these guys....ok we have spent money but it has been done wisely. But schar, almiron, longstaff, lascelles, joelinton all.players that were bang average...now playing really well each week. Eddie howe has been outstanding 👏
Was sad that I never got to see Newcastle beat Barca in the UCL and wondered if I’d ever see us be competitive again after the pain of sacking Benitez and the Ashley years. I’m loving every minute of it! 🎉
I am a Newcastle fan that lives in France, all my friends here support PSG, Last night was a very good night for me 😜
Im a Newcastle fan and I'm absolutely pumped our midfield dominated them!!
Credit to PSG they were great but underestimated us and with their 4222 formation they failed to see where we shine is our midfield.
They paid the price.
I feel good , but I also feel as good listening to someone with a balanced view. Well done and congratulate yourself for being honest and true
Spot on James!
Newcastle fan. When Schar’s goal went in I was literally out of my seat laughing, it couldn’t actually be any better
Also how the f* is it 1xg when we scored 3 goals from 5 yards out lol
Probably because Longstaff’s goal shouldn’t be being conceded by a professional keeper so it has a low xG component. Burn’s goal also had a lot of people around him who also could’ve won the ball I guess.
Sorry to hear about QPR's troubles James, one day you'll have hope back for your team, it's what every football fan deserves.
Good analysis.
I commented on one of the NUFC boards that we'd win by 2 or 3. I knew PSG couldn't handle the press.
as a 35+ year nufc supporter, tears.
Was Mbappe playing ??? Schar and Almiron absolutely brilliant. TOON ARMY ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️
Schar cost 3 million quid , that`s a steal lol.
1:30
Slight correction James, we acquired Burn after the takeover but your point is well taken about the supposed level that people thought those 4 scorers were at compared to what they have shown under Howe.
James, this is a fantastic video. Your passion for football really shines through here. As a Newcastle fan I’ve yet to come down from the ceiling following my best night yet in 33 years following NUFC. Thanks for letting me relive it again this morning!
absoultley nothing wrong with celebrating giving a goal kick away like as if we scored, i love it. atmosphere is absolutley bouncing and i like to think we do our bit to help the lads out
At the start of last season I replied to one of your tweets saying we’d finish top 6. You quoted my tweet as an example of a deluded geordie no doubt 😂
We’re massively on the up! Schar MOTM Eden before his goal but they’re just such great game plans Howe is putting together now - you can take your pick if 4 or 5 every game who were outstanding!
This win is a for management a win for Eddie Howe and a win for football. Yes we have spent some money like everyone else but 3 out of 4 goal scorers were pre take over players all classed as ‘not good enough for the prem’ 2 out of 4 of the goal scorers were local lads. Absolutely buzzing!!
