SportsNewcastle 'Used End Of Man United Thrashing As A Training Session', Says Howe by AImiron(op): 8:31pm On Nov 03, 2023
Eddie Howe has admitted using the final minutes of Newcastle's 3-0 win over Manchester United as a 'training session'.

Newcastle inflicted further misery on the hosts following their Manchester derby defeat by ending their Carabao Cup defence in the fourth round.

Miguel Almiron and Lewis Hall struck in the first half, with substitute Joe Willock adding a third on the hour mark.

Howe was questioned post-match about his decision to bring on regulars Callum Wilson and Bruno Guimaraes four minutes after taking a 3-0 lead

As reported by the Times, Howe said 'the intention was to give minutes to players, so they could use it as a training session'.

Howe's comment underlined the dominance of his side at Old Trafford, with the Newcastle boss looking forward to future tests.

The statement will be an further blow to Man United boss Erik ten Hag, who is facing mounting pressure following another dismal defeat.

Newcastle were handed another tough test in the draw, after knocking out both Manchester clubs in consecutive rounds.

The Magpies will travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the quarter-finals, as they seek to go one step further after losing last year's final to Manchester United.

Howe's side return to Premier League action on Saturday when they host second placed Arsenal, who remain unbeaten in the Premier League.

Man United travel to Fulham as the Red Devils seek to relieve pressure on Ten Hag.

United head into the match ninth in the Premier League, eight points adrift of the top four.

SportsEPL Referee Anthony Taylor Is DEMOTED To The Championship by AImiron(op): 4:12pm On Nov 03, 2023
Anthony Taylor has been demoted to the Championship after awarding Newcastle with a controversial penalty against Wolves on Saturday.

The Premier League referee will oversee the second-tier clash between Preston and Coventry a week after the divisive call, in his first Championship tie since 2019

Taylor came under fire from a range of different voices after handing the visitors the penalty at Molineux, which allowed the Magpies to go ahead in the first-half

The whistler pointed to the spot after Hwang Hee-chan brought down Fabian Schar whilst attempting to clear the ball, and had his decision rubber-stamped by VAR.

The official on duty at Stockley Park Jarred Gillett took his time but ultimately opted not to send Taylor to his monitor to look at the incident a second time

Wolves were unable to snatch the 2-2 victory at home, but came from behind twice to ensure the spoils were shared on a trying afternoon for manager Gary O'Neil.

O'Neil - who has previously been outspoken on refereeing issues after Wolves were on the receiving end of two more controversial decisions against Manchester United and Luton Town this season - called Taylor's call 'scandalous'.

'(Newcastle's) second goal was never ever a penalty, ever.' He told Sky Sports.

'It was a terrible decision on-field and from VAR (but) we managed to bounce back.'

Hwang - who went on to score the equaliser - said that he was 'saddened' by the decision.

‘I’d tried to clear the ball and saw someone block me. I stopped and he touched me – I don’t think it was a penalty,’ he said.

‘I felt so sad and really wanted to do something for my team. Everybody said 'You can do it.” They gave me trust and I scored.’

Off the pitch, Wolves fans crowed 'Premier League - corrupt as f*** ' in response to the penalty given.

Taylor is not the first Premier League official this season to be sent down to the Championship in response to hapless refereeing.

Adrian Holmes was sent to run the line during Millwall's home match against Hull in October - after incorrectly deeming Luis Diaz's goal offside during the much-discussed VAR brouhaha when Liverpool met Tottenham in north London.

Foreign AffairsNeighbor Shot Dead NYC Dad And Son During Argument Over Noise by AImiron(op): 4:26pm On Nov 01, 2023

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUjUYaCxrds?si=DWeFIPBxC1p_ye3Q

Chilling video shows the moment a crazed neighbor executed a father and his stepson in cold blood in a Brooklyn apartment hallway during an argument over noise Sunday night.

The distressing footage obtained by The Post opens with a man dressed in all black pacing angrily outside his upstairs neighbors’ apartment on the fourth floor of 1418 Brooklyn Ave. in a well-known East Flatbush housing complex where stars Barbra Streisand and Michael K. Williams grew up.

A woman emerges from the apartment and exchanges words with the neighbor, who was identified by cops Tuesday as Jason Pass, 47.

A short time later, the woman is joined by her son, identified by cops as 27-year-old Chinwai Mode. The video has no audio, so it is unknown what was said during the exchange.

Moments later, Mode’s stepfather, 47-year-old school bus driver Bladimy Mathurin, marches out of the apartment brandishing a pair of scissors and angrily confronts the neighbor, the video shows.

His wife tries to drag him away, but the bodybuilder dad of four pushes her back.

At that moment, the verbal dispute takes a harrowing turn when the neighbor in black pulls out a handgun and aims it at Mathurin.

Mathurin spots the gun but waves it off. He turns around and begins walking toward his apartment, at which point the neighbor opens fire and strikes Mathurin, who falls to the floor.

Mode, who was also in the hallway, tries to get away from the gunman, but the neighbor fires multiple shots at him, including at least twice after he had collapsed in a pool of his own blood next to a staircase.

The suspect then returns to Mathurin, who is still alive and struggling to get up, and shoots him execution-style on his own doorstep. The Post has redacted portions of the video because of their graphic nature.
