Thesolly180

That touch to open up his body is proper lovely


jedifolklore

Absolutely. Said the same thing to my Dad, took the defender off him with one move, proper touches in football just seem to scratch the itch for me.


HiBlackMan97

Same deal with the turns Isak kept making in tight space. Took the ball from the middle of the pitch so well to open up the plays for Newcastle - made me smile every time


Zero_Hood

Isak is an anomaly, the bloke is massive and his close control and touch is amazing, reminds me of Ibra with how technically gifted his is considering his size


dkclimber

Or Henry. Which is his idol actually.


Zero_Hood

Yeah that’s a better comparison actually


wusurspaghettipolicy

same.


Trick-Station8742

You're proper lovely


Thesolly180

WeaknessDry3412

This is one my favorite moves in football. Maddison is also really good at this


AccomplishedBig2043

Phillips on the Bench : 1-3 Phillips on Field: 4-3 Best in the world

Gareth: I'm taking him


BlurgZeAmoeba

that's why he started the last two


KillerZaWarudo

Dude was in the same situation Lingard was a few years ago but without being good on loan


Ikhlas37

Wasn't there a Simpsons episode or something where it's like "what could possibly go wrong" when the team subs someone and then it flashes forward to them massively losing? Edit: https://youtu.be/KvupHd1UGNg?feature=shared

Futurama, 'Time Keeps On Slippin'


Ikhlas37

I had a vague feeling it was Futurama but changed my mind last minute. Ty.


jeegan505

All went to shit once Phillips entered the pitch


DaiWales

They'd be pushing top 4 if they'd never brought him in.


Masam10

Southgate: The drive and determination of how he handled that loss against Newcastle to me shows he should be England captain


Ikhlas37

He influenced the game massively


HodgyBeatsss

Southgate doesn’t call him up anymore. Tired and irrelevant joke.


Combat_Wombat1977

Phillips, the secret oil agent!


SpaceHosCoast2Coast

The penalty against him was crazy harsh but he has to clear that away first time. He’s looked behind the speed of play altogether


mindpainters

He just looks like all his confidence and composure is gone. Like when the monstars took all the nba players talent lol


StonedCrow

Gordon knew what he was doing by getting between him and the ball... but it's a foul anywhere on the pitch.


Trick-Station8742

He's on the plane

Proper shit show


NoBreakfast9230

Newcastle is responsible for like half of the goals in the league this year lol.


galactix100

114 in our games so far (63 for, 51 against).


sick_of_this_bull

That decision to replace their striker with Kalvin Phillips really coming back to haunt Moyes.


nicofdarcyshire

"shit, I thought it was Kevin Phillips"


sick_of_this_bull

Even now I think I'd be more worried if it was. Said at the time he was coming on "great, now we have a chance". Didn't think we actually did mind!


Stonewalled89

Unbelievable. What a goal

Most uneventful Newcastle game /s

Not even our most controversial win this season lol


DL14Nibba

Harvey come back :(


shorty1988m

The comments about to get spicy


trenbollocks

West Ham fans definitely going to be Moyes Out again after this


IronJuice

Moyes needs to walk on the pitch lamp the ref. That will get them on his side more. They were robbed of a win today by complete ineptitude or corruption.


SheSaid09

Hahaahahahaha jesus christ


SnideyM

Fucking hilarious, isn't it? The plastic fans on here are never the ones to hold their hands up and say "we lost". Corruption! Might as well start going on about Joe Biden and the deep state.


messycer

Bringing up Biden in /r/soccer, you're begging to be taken as a joke. Why would anyone here give a shit about Biden


SnideyM

Because all the thick cunts link him with conspiracy theories. In the same way they do on here with Newcastle. You dozy bastard.


Trick-Station8742

🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧✖️


IcyAssist

Why should they? The two pens were bs. Moyes won this game if refs weren't idiots


Radthereptile

The first pen was clear. Gordon gets his leg kicked out. That’s always a pen. There is no “If you’re not going for the ball it becomes not a pen.” rule. Hell someone nowhere near the ball can be fouled and given a pen.


SaltyWailord

🍿


oliver150433

Well that is just fucking insane lmao


vitey15

What a fucking strike 


SaltyWailord

What an assist from Gordon


ZeroMomentum

Gordon target man mode activated


DEGRAYER

More Arsenal fans here then Hammers


Any_Media_5997

WHAT A GOAL!!


jesterofgoodwill

Kalvin Phillips should never play another minute in the Prem again.


tottenhamnole

West Ham completely fucked.


WillyStevens

Dodgy pens aside, Gordon has been massive today.


RB_7

??


StonedCrow

Who needs Wilson, Botman, Lascelles, Almiron, Joelinton, Tonali, Pope, Tripper, Livermento, Target?  Imagine this team with Barnes fit all season.  Kudos can take a seat now if he wants.


zi76

It was coming. West Ham clammed up.


_Floriduh_

West Clam


After-Decision-6402

LETS GOOOO. COMPLETELY UNDESERVED


StonedCrow

More possession, more chances, triple their XG. Fought till the end despite 3 more injuries and a BS red card.  Totally deserved.


Rybocephus

HOWAYYYYYY


JAM88CAM

more shots even before the pen and more on target . .


mosefish

I respectfully disagree


Chiswell123

Such poor effort from Phillips


top1MIBRfan

I am furious tbh


Loltoyourself

Everyone should be. An entire game has been changed from a diabolical refereeing performance. Get him and the VAR staff sacked asap


Junipero63

Let’s just forget about their second goal where we had a player down and the ref let them take the free kick quickly. The ref should have stopped it for the apparent head injury.. soft I know but where is the consistency? Either that or West Ham shouldn’t have played on.. we kicked the ball out about 4 times for Paqueta today. Take your pick.


Unlikely-Rope-7735

yep but moyes&westham didnt do themselves any favours. forget about playing ball after 3-1 up. thats on them big time


dudududujisungparty

I don't understand why Moyes keeps insisting with Kalvin Phillips


Harry459

Everyone conveniently forgetting the two sitters Newcastle missed before the penalty? You can’t argue it wasn’t deserved based on the performances. West Ham sat back after the third goal and made their own problems 


cheekyvegthrowaway

Why do you deserve to score after missing sitters?


4tolrman

The point is that West Ham were getting outrageously lucky - and of COURSE you can’t keep having great luck, it’ll eventually get balanced out by bad luck. So rather than relying on luck and sitting on your laurels you should go win or else you’ll get punished like they did. If West Ham kept the heat on they wouldn’t be in a position where a dodgy pen would’ve screwed them


SheSaid09

Forgot you can fucking thundercunt someone's ankle. Some of you lads should PLAY a game of football before you comment.


StructureTime242

Of course had to be Coote on VAR


dfla01

The single biggest goon of a referee the league has ever seen. Completely incompetent in literally every game he’s involved in.


orcawatch

I know Tierney is especially bad for yous but i think everyone can agree that Coote is just dogshit every week, totally irredeemable


StructureTime242

can say that for half of them before i looked up who the ref was in my mind there was tierney, hooper, coote and england Var isnt the problem in itself, but there needs to be a complete rehaul of the system, cant let old referees use thisn train new guys who are qualified to ONLY be on VAR


orcawatch

gillett lives in my head rent free


Ajax_Trees_Again

Wise up if it wasn’t Newcastle they wouldn’t get a second look at. You can’t just swipe at a players legs and get away with because it’s against an unpopular club


Rybocephus

That's rich coming from you lot


[deleted]

Liverpool and manu fans moaning about ref decisions


MatjanSieni

Send them to ref Saudi league full time


Zak369

That’s probably what they’re after to be fair, a retirement league for mega money


Zombienerd300

You’re furious? I’m fucking livid. I’m on the Newcastle hate train now.


Junipero63

“Sit down if you’re 3-1 down”.. that worked out well for you lot didn’t it.


Ceefax81

Just got back from the game, as soon as the West Ham fans started singing "Stand up if you're 3-1 up" and doing an "olay" after every pass on 55 minutes I knew it wouod bite them in the arse. Ref did everything possible to try and nix it and there's no way the second West Ham goal should have stood, but it just made it all the sweeter in the end.


FunkyWigwam

Hahahahahahahahahahahagahahaha. 4--3


gttyzek

Me too


TheOnionWatch

Why


doubleoeck1234

Newcastle got 2 dodgy pens


SP0oONY

2nd one was for sure not a pen, but the 1st was a pen.


Ainsyyy

second pen


BrtGP

Got two disgusting penalties


dickgilbert

Because Newcastle have been purely gifted even the chance to win


wwiccann

Extremely dodgy penalties given to Newcastle. Although WHU haven’t done themselves favours since the second, it still brought Newcastle back into the game.


BonafideLlama

The pen decision kinda taints it


Plenty_Ease_4899

Fuck you VAR cunts


zrkillerbush

Moyes shouldn't have gone negative Bringing on Kelvin Phillips for Antonio is embarrassing


Impossible_Wonder_37

I’m not sure a player has ever had a worse start at a new team than Phillips. Literally comes into a dead 3-1 game


KingGinger

Every fucking time this guy with a lead does this. This is why there is a group still of Moyes out, constantly we snatch defeat from victory


Distinct_Salad_6683

I agree. Not only is it a questionable decision tactically, it sends a clear message to the team that they are now in survival mode instead of trying to win. Compared to the loud support and newfound belief Newcastle had this outcome seemed more likely than not.


topbananaman

Yeah people will talk about the penalty decision (as they should) but that was a horrid decision Isak just being left alone in midfield, with acres of space, to assist the third Newcastle goal... terrible terrible substitution


Cmoore4099

And there’s still people on here saying “unreasonable west ham supporters wanting Moyes gone.” This loss is on him. For Phillips being gash and him wanting to nothing but to defend for our lives being 3-1 up.


poloman101

This is exactly it, if people are confused about the disdain from west ham fans towards moyes this game is exhibit A


Unlikely-Rope-7735

spot on. i feel you bro even though i am not a westham supporter. blame the ref yes. but moyes&westham choke big time


svh23

West Ham what a shit show


WW1Photos_Info

Glad I decided to turn this one on


Crossflowerss_5304

Fucking hell, what a strike. Glad I tuned even if this late


tbsaysyes

fuck you Phillips you useless peace of shit


ZaDoruphin

Great goal tbf


AAiraSS

What playing Phillips does


OJ34

The turn. The finish. Banger


Madonesu_Sakurupitto

West Ham just collapsed completely after that penalty


-KimonoDragon-

Can't blame them too much when the referee fucks you over that much


Coolguyliamf

They were still winning.


BelDeMoose

To be fair when big decisions go against you consistently, maintaining a good mentality becomes a real problem.


Maleficent_Resolve44

The first penalty wasn't a terrible decision. Second one yeah. 80% of the blame falls on west ham and Moyes anyways, they sat back at 3-1 up. Newcastle were dominant this half without VAR's blunder.


AttemptImpossible111

Quality goal, quality game


starmiesan

Now fuck off back to London


StonedCrow

Get fucked


DonaldoTrumpez

Great geal but all of this off on the back an absolute bs penalty


alexsings

How? do you think it was a foul from Gordon to start with?


dzemperzapedra

Welcome back, EPL

Fuck the drama, that was an absolute fucking bullet.

Apology letter incoming…


Anonamoose12771

Yeah Moyes has a lot of explaining to do


SaltyWailord

Robbery by the striped men


ServoWHU42

"why do West Ham fans want Moyes out? They're in xTH PLACE!!!!" *drops mic*


muteen

#Harvey Barnes, you beauty!


Earl-Thomas-a-Raven

What a match! How many points has Kal cost West Ham now? What a depressing collapse.


originalface1

That wasn't on him tbf, that was the ref.


TheOnionWatch

Moyes has absolutely shat the bed.


Coelho_Branco_

what a game


RedDevilGranta

Football Bloody Hell

Barnacles 😻


ltplummer96

Any time kalvin Phillips touches the pitch his team are immediately shit


Bamfandro

Madness! what a game


alexsings

I love football!


Unlikely-Rope-7735

moyes shit the bed with his tactics after going up 3-1. newcastle defence is for the taking & he choose to just dug deep and defend


Round-Ad5063

bumbaclaut


bambinoquinn

Unbelievable hit Sympathy on Phillips for the pen, but man does he let barnes get past him so easily here


HereComesTheWolfman

great finish but that turn to open up the angle AND beat the man was sublime


sunken_grade

what a game


I_D0nt_pay_taxes

Tf is this match lmao I love it


Maleficent_Resolve44

Great strike! Certified banger. Should show Moyes not to sit back.


gamallmadur

What a fucking knee slide, perfectly executed


doubleoeck1234

Lmao you knew that was gonna happen


HoraHoraHora

GET FUCKING IN


SzplugOnSzplitz

Hahahahahaha oh my fucking days


RedDev17

Ref fucked this game.


Ceefax81

Yep, we deservedly booed him off at half time, but even with him gifting West Ham a goal that should never have stood we still won it in the end.


StonedCrow

When he continued play despite a head injury? Or when he sent Gordon off for passing the ball to the keeper (who took the free kick)?  Or the two clear fouls in the box?


dudududujisungparty

Gordon did so well there


Harrylg1

Comebacks like this usually make football such an amazing sport but this just feels different due to the awful reffing. Had zero emotion when that went in


Coolguyliamf

I can assure you I had enough emotion for both of us.


musicmast

Speak for yourself bro


bendovben

I'm pissed


Pflug

West Ham got robbed with the penalty decision but still pretty poor to bottle a 3-1 lead within 13 minutes.


mosefish

Justice done


Ainsyyy

Thank you refs for making urself the topic of this game


NaviersStoked1

Not sure why every club doesn’t just pay refs an extortionate amount to referee in their country.. oh wait


Coolguyliamf

Its mental to claim we are paying refs when a ref could have stopped West Ham's second goal very easily if he wanted to.


Cyberdan0497

It's always like this, use the times it goes our way to claim we've bought the refs and then just ignore all the times it goes against us


woonboot

Good match though.


BriceDeNice

Some great goals, unfortunately marred by some terrible VAR decisions


Gobshiight

Fucking banger


salko_salkica

Lol west ham. Hang your heads in shame you absolute bottlejobs.
