Be amazed.

LOL @ THE BOLTON FANS!

What a goal!

 

[Andrew]

What's with the amount of rubbish being thrown onto the ground?

Looks like an Aussie game.

 

[Doink]

Its like 70mph winds here atm, more likely they were blown on.

 

[Andrew]

Damn that's crazy weather.

Newcastle won 3-0 over Manchester United... Why am I not surprised?

 

[Doink]

Idk, Man Utd are shit?

 

[Andrew]

Been a fair few upsets but I wouldn't say Newcastle's an upset because they've played great Football all season

 

[Doink]

I would, 3-0. Thats a lot against the supposed best team in the league.

Are you kidding? This is a massive upset! Not to the extent of Blackburn beating Man Utd, but this is still a massive upset nonetheless. Would you have seriously predicted Newcastle to beat Man Utd 3-0? If you did you're kidding yourself.

Newcastle haven't been playing well lately at all. Before this game, they'd lost 5 of their last 8 games and have only managed to take 5 points from a possible 24. To add to that, this is the first time this season that Man Utd haven't scored, but also it's their first away loss of the season.

That right there is a massive upset.

Rio Ferdinand is finished as a top defender.

Should be no higher than Championship level based on his last few seasons.

 

[Troy]

Can't believe that there was yet another upset. Very impressive display by Newcastle to beat United so convincingly.

Tim Howard's goal was awesome to watch, got a nice bounce once it hit but the defenders should never have allowed it to bounce.

 

[Aniking]

I hope Howard's goal doesn't discourage that young Bolton goalkeeper. It was just luck that it went in, but to score from that far out you would need as much luck as you could get. Great goal to watch, and I'm glad it didn't cause Everton to win the game as that would've sucked for Bolton to lose because of the wind.
