3:08 - Shearer straight back on his feet, no whinging, even pleading with the ref not to card Parlour. This is the sort of class we are missing in the Prem in 2024. Too much diving and trying to get opponents sent off

[@progress2success402]

Shearer would have been sent off as well for touching the ref these days 😂

[@benowers]

Notice no one did that for Bellamy for daring to brush Cole's face

RIP Sir Robson and Speedo 🖤🤍

[@Rangecrosoft]

Quite a spicy encounter. It's weird watching games without VAR now. Not often you see an overhead-kick cross. Some serious talent on display. RIP Speedo.

[@raf7305]

This team made me support Newcastle. Shearer, Robert, Bellamy, Speed, Solano. What a team man

[@mpr1462]

Galaxy of stars... what a privilege to have witnessed such great players from both sides, I know Newcastle will put up a brave fight vs Arsenal, Go Magpies 2-3 Newcastle

[@robertturnbull4976]

the comentator twice saying Alan Shearer has never scored at Highbury, he scored a hatrick on his debut for Southampton, great times and memories

Southampton were at home, weren't they?

@@mrsnail5 apologies, i always thought it was at Highbury, i was wrong, sorry

That bit of skill and cross from Henry totally deserved a goal. He was definitely the best player to play in the premier league.

[@smanvir94]

2nd

[@benowers]

Not even the best player on the pitch 😉

[@Hittingitstiff]

I remember watching this game via Teletext on a Monday night. Good, simpler times. Also, it was class from Shearer for telling Poll (who had a mare, btw) not to send Parlour off for a second booking.

[@anon-zk6iz]

How is that a straight red for Bellamy?

[@neiljohnson5285]

Simply his reputation & Cole’s play acting

[@RiJeSeK]

This team was truly something else. RIP SBR. ❤

[@colindavid2078]

HOW JUST HOW is that Bellamy foul a "straight RED"? Oh my days! a yellow YES, he would have been sent off anyway, but not a red surely!! Dear me!

[@igg3937]

Both of the sendings off were ridiculous. Credit to Shearer actually for pleading with the ref not to send Parlour off. Don't see that often anymore!

[@colindavid2078]

@@igg3937 True to be honest, both poor ref decisions!

[@gurrapalm2051]

(without knowing the rulebook by heart) I´m not even 100% sure it should be a second yellow. I wouldnt go as far as saying it would be wrong but definitely a bit harsh. A straight red is a complete joke. The fact that the murder attempt preceeding the 2-1 penalty ISN`T a straight red is just piss in the wound.

[@bone81able]

Bellamy straight red for nowt

[@mattprice3621]

This particular season my fav ever season - was a huge huge special one. I recall every bit of it, even the end of season dvd (which they don’t seem to do no more) and I recall every player we had out there, we were top at Xmas but a few changes and suspensions (Craig) + we just slipped up and finished 4th. But what memories! These were the days. The small pitch helped a bit and the fact parkour got sent off but we had an edge about us from the first whistle! Arsenal late at night and a bit jaded couldn’t handle the fact we were up for it, and as Bobby said what a side we had beaten!! ❤️

[@neiljohnson5285]

Keown shoving his hand in front of the camera at the end, has that bloke always been a prick.

[@ianbedwell8795]

I would have shown him straight red for acting like that and talking to me like that. Great player, but that was pathetic behavior and hopefully we will have legoman acting and crying the same way come 90+mins tomorrow night.

[@vivovivere9858]

i really miss player type like Robert

[@albertbell7120]

Cole cheered the ref

[@Nienna1837]

Crying is an Assenal trait. No sense of sportsmanship and always acting like a victim even when decisions go their way. Least likable team in the league.

Enjoy the cooked magpies!

How good was Henry man? You just don't see flair like that often in the modern game.

[@daviderrington8224]

Both red cards should not have been reds. If VAR had been a thing then, Parlour would still have been off as it was a second yellow, but soft. Even Shearer pleaded with the ref on his behalf. Bellamy would have stood a chance of having his reduced to a yellow (as it was more down to Cole's Oscar performance).. Campbell should have had a red as he was out of control in his foul. If VAR had existed then the ref would have been sent to the monitor. Lastly, Henry should have received a red card after the game. When the ref has a police protection walking off it obviously shows Henry was going too far. Funny how he didn't complain to the ref when playing for France and he cheated Ireland out of a World Cup spot when he blatantly cheated by handballing in the lead up to a France goal.

[@starlight6901]

Arsenal are lucky var didnt exist then, that was clearly a handball 😂

@@DYL2020 Don't get me wrong, I believe! IF anyone believes it's me, and have done this last 29 years...... but I think arsenal at the moment are too strong, and if we had a full fit squad, I think we could take them, but we don't, and we are struggling against teams like Luton and Bournemouth, so I find it hard getting any result against high scoring Arsenal away!! Maybe, IF our defence wakens up and gets their act together again and Dubravka can stay on his feet and have a great game, we may manage a draw!
