A quick look through Lee Ryder’s Twitter feed on Tuesday night reveals plenty of fans’ verdicts on pre-season performances, but there’s one tweet that has got everyone talking.
Of course, we’re talking about the news that the Toon Army sang Rafael Benitez’s name loud and proud before their friendly match against Hibernian, and Ryder’s reporting of the incident has completely divided the fans.
The tweet has over 100 replies, after the Magpies’ travelling support belted out Rafa’s name before beating Hibs 3-1.
Joelinton, Sean Longstaff and Jamaal Lascelles all got on the scoresheet and Steve Bruce spoke about transfers after the match, but all that seems to have gone on the backburner as fans intensely discuss the Benitez chant.
Plenty of fans are branding it “embarrassing”, clearly wanting their fellow Geordies to focus on the here and now, support the team and get behind the new manager.
Some however refuse to simply show unwavering support to a manager they deem to be a puppet for Mike Ashley.
Just take a look at some of the best Twitter reactions down below…
