Not happening but I hope they let him rot for the rest of his contract. Would love to slap his face over and over again.

Talk about going fucking overboard

Richly fucking deserved. An absolute warrior - on and off the pitch. We'd have been lost without him last season.

ah howay. he's one of the good guys.

He's primarily a wing back nowadays no?

Bald by December is my prediction for Keith

Is Mike McGrath single handedly trying to get Rashford a transfer to Barca?

Botafogo vs Atl Madrid coverage starting on 5ACTION now (Sky Channel 150), with an 8pm kick off. Madrid basically have to win by 3 goals. Literally hadn't heard of that channel a few hours ago (likewise 4SEVEN for the earlier U21 tournament matches) I think the coverage has been really good. Sometimes, like BT/TNTs foreign leagues you'll get the programme coming on air barely 5 mins beforehand and someone commentating clearly well away from the venue, whereas here you have the presenter, 2 or 3 pundits, and then a pretty full team in the States, and that does help to make it feel more important. Nice to hear Shay and Calum a few times, James Richardson is obviously well renowned and I think Kelly Somers is becoming one of the better presenters. I've enjoyed this tournament / coverage much more than I was expecting, although that said, this 5ACTION coverage has been stopping and almost buffering since coming on air.

Welcome to Newcastle, Anthony Elanga.

"Respected throughout football" iirc marra

Never noticed him playing. Haven’t given him the 10 minute scout yet Like that he’s highly rated though. Tall and wins his headers.

"Knows the club"

Round on Pointless where Chris Ramsey draws 5 North-East landmarks and the contestants have to guess what they were. Answers were St James Park, Angel of the North, Bamburgh Castle, Tyne Bridge & Penshaw Monument. Most obscure answer was Penshaw Monument. Fucking mugs. Rest of the country know bugger all about them man.

Word

Saw on teletext "Guler on loan imminent"

Fair Play, but as most fans agreed at the time, CL qualification came probably a season or 2 ahead of schedule, if you look at the squad we had in 23/24 we had two players at every position; Longstaff and Willock were solid starters, key to that 4th-place finish. We were stacked: three RBs, five CBs, two LBs, two RWs, two LWs, seven CMs, and two CFs. Saying going into that Season we couldn't handle the Prem and Champions League is wrong imo. Injuries wrecked us; we even had a whole starting eleven out at once! If we'd had better luck with injuries, we easily could've had 69 points instead of 60. This season, I don't think the club will change their successful transfer strategy. I really doubt they'll change it.

Where have you got Guler from?

Guler?

Starting to take shape Scalvini, Trafford, Pedro and Guler never had any doubts.

Thoughts on the Scalvini rumours?

6-5 Spain now; Our boy Cordero missed a penalty too.
