I’m not arguing either way. I’m just saying what I think.The answer was yes.
The other point you're raising nobody ever said they didn't enjoy it! If people are going to pick fights then at least argue the point raised, which was very specific and easy to comprehend.
Anyway because you want to go somewhere else It's only because Newcastle won why you enjoyed it. I can guarantee if we lost you'd say they were filthy bastards and it's not the 80s anymore.
Of course we enjoyed it! We won 3-2, but that doesn't mean we have to like seeing our players being lined up off the ball, rugby tackled, and headbutted.
Statistically we fouled them as much as they fouled us. Some were brutal mind. Should they have had a red card. Probably.
