    Both teams had a fair share of possession, attacking chances and defensive blunders. The officiating was atrocious. Huge shame that Pedro Neto is injured. It could make room for an unusually entertaining SHUWOL game though. I’d say 2-2 is a fair result.

    That must feel terrible for Wolves fans. By far the better team, but concede one goal through keeper’s error, another to incompetent refereeing and lose you most exciting player to injury.

    I’m pleased that Wolves got a point out of that because it looked for a while that they were going to be completely robbed, but they absolutely deserved all three. The refereeing was absolutely shameful but I suppose it wouldn’t be a true PL matchweek without at least one awful performance and resultant PGMOL apology. Neto’s injury was sad, I hope it’s not as serious as it seemed.

    As a Newcastle fan, this season has really illustrated how much toll a European campaign can have on a squad after a few injuries. With no midweek game prior I think we win that even with the injuries.

    Bit peeved giving away the lead twice but I can’t say I was confident seeing out a win here.

    I in no way think that the referees were paid off by Saudi Arabia. I just think that they suck at their jobs.

    Good result given Taylor’s best efforts to help Newcastle. It feels like the fight is there which was lacking earlier this season which is extremely promising. Not sure where we end up, more than likely low mid table but certainly we look good at the moment.

    What is the point of VAR when the refs running it are too cowardly to correct a call for the on field referee who’s relying on them to make the decision? Ridiculous how often good matches get clouded by referee incompetence, feel bad for wolves here

    Refereeing not up to par once again, always against wolves aswell.
    Hope Neto injury is nothing serious but looked bad, praying for good news.
