How anyone can possibly say anything other than "Manchester United" to that is a complete mystery to me!

How anyone on a Rovers message board could say anything other than Burnley is beyond me, but the red scum are a close second.

It "inbuilt" that we hate Burnley first and foremost.  Then the "hate" of other clubs must start with Manure surely?

I’d say the po faced, ‘we are different’ mentality of LFC fans, plus just as many glory hunters (though they always seem to avoid the ‘they all come from London’ tag) has them just as high on my list as Man Utd.

Decent opening to the match between Newcastle and Liverpool, quite fiery.

I really don’t like Liverpool but I like that their players have brought back long sleeves

[chaddyrovers]

Brilliant first half so far. 

[Tom]

Red card probably ruined the game, stupid tackle from Gordon and a deserved red.
 

Shows how VAR and countless replays can change a view though Sutton on commentary said it wasn’t much of a foul, then he said definitely just a yellow card, then he decided a red was probably coming and then it was definitely a red!

Stupid challenge.

Would have liked that half to carry on for another 10 minutes there as that would have really boiled over.

Gordon had konate on toast too. What a brain dead tackle

Is it just me, or are Liverpool just not that good?

They’ll have loads of games where they won’t be great or even good but still win, it’s an annoying trait Burnley had last season as well 

Having said that 2-2, even if they win it’s 2 league games giving up leads too easily

Well, that was the worst defensive line I've seen of a free kick.

2-2

[chaddyrovers]

well done Newcastle. They deserved at least a point

They may not get it 2-3!

Great finish from that Liverpool youngster.

Liverpool have been wank, deserve nothing.

They’ve scored 3 great goals to be fair, far from their best and showing fragility at the back but getting the job done

What a great game for a neutral. 

Newcastle were the better team overall but Liverpool were lucky but we good goals.

Went to look up this Rio lad and I think someone has been editing the wiki!

Hes got that sort of idiotic play in him. Not the brightest bulb.

Never understand why when a player does something so stupid, and gets a red, he gets a standing ovation.

I remember one time the maestro, Tugay got one of the most ridiculous red cards you could wish for, a stupid tackle followed by the most pointless of handballs, he got a standing ovation and I was livid.

Think it was against Boro and we ended up losing 3 or 4 nil

I was there. The handball was on or around the half way line mid way through the game. It was game over after that and we got battered. Dumb football. 
 

Like that Kevin Ball “ tackle “ on Dunny. Brain dead. Whatever chance the dingles had of getting something out of the game went with him.

[RoverDom]

Tell you what, I really like Slot, his post match interviews are quite interesting to listen to. 

[philipl]

Nguomah got poached by Liverpool from Chelsea academy which slightly lessens the pain of Chelsea taking a 13 year old from us for a million.

[chaddyrovers]

I do think that the ref should have stuck with original decision with that Gordon's tackle. When you slow it down, the tackle looks worst and worst. I think Gordon does try to pull out but his momentum takes into van Dijk .

I’ve not seen the incident but I don’t think slow motion replays should ever be allowed.
