<\/p>\nA cynical Newcastle fans has accused Don Goodman of deliberately drawing them away against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n
Before being told off by fellow supporters, the tongue-in-cheek Geordie Mag fan page thought they saw the former Sunderland man looking into the bowl live on Sky Sports – although he turned away while still shuffling them.<\/p>\n
The sceptical social media user posted before adding a laughing emoji in the comments section: "What we have here ladies and gents is none other than ex-Sunderland player Don Goodman having a good look for that number 16." Newcastle were ball number 16 and were drawn to head to Old Trafford in the round of 16 as a reward for knocking out Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Calling for the post to be deleted, a fellow fan said: "Begging the world to be against us. We're better than this."<\/p>\n
A second agreed: "Don't be ridiculous. He looked away as he was still mixing them around." A rival fan concluded: "How on earth could he see the numbers on the balls? His arm fills the hole on top of the bowl."<\/p>\n

Goodman, who played over 100 times for Sunderland between 1991 and 1994 and became a regular commentator back in 2020, of course had no idea who would be drawn next.<\/p>\n
Newcastle's 1-0 win over City at St James' came thanks to Alexander Isak's second-half strike with Guardiola left fuming at full-time.<\/p>\n
After the Spaniard made seven changes, he was seen remonstrating with referee Chris Kavanagh at the final whistle.<\/p>\n

He said post-match: "I think Newcastle couldn\u2019t accept our first half dominance, they increased the rhythm and aggression and kicking, and they were there, more aggressive.<\/p>\n
"We struggled a little but that\u2019s normal. I said at half time the second half will not be like the first.<\/p>\n
"I don\u2019t know how many fouls they did and how many we did but we had double yellow cards. It is what it is."<\/p>\n
