Journalist mocks Newcastle fans as Saudi Arabia stun Argentina at the World Cup - The irony...
Today we witnessed one of THE biggest upsets in World Cup history, as Saudi Arabia stunned Argentina in Qatar.
After going 1-0 down to a Lionel Messi spot-kick, the Saudis scored twice in the second half and held on to seal a shock win in the opening game of Group C.
They ended Argentina's 36-game unbeaten run and gave their nation a moment they'll never forget, yet a Chief Writer for The Mail took this as an opportunity to poke fun at Newcastle United fans.

No doubt he was lapping it up in hospitality while he made these digs at Newcastle United fans. You have to laugh...
