There's definitely something in the theory that it's not necessarily age that slows players down in their 30s but miles on the clock. 33 next month and he's still absolutely fucking rapid. Agree totally but then there's James Milner!

Regression to the mean has to start soon. Home win to nil.

xG has had us bettering our opponents just twice this season (West Ham away and Bournemouth at home). Each of the other 14 games we’re on the wrong end of it. Results so far don’t really point to what’s actually happening and it doesn’t seem sustainable. Bit like Pardew’s 5th. We’re massively winging it and, fair’s fair, he’s getting results. Can’t help but things could very easily turn though. We’ll see.

Absolutely no one could have predicted this would happen. Total bolt from the blue.

Idiocy to start him. I know he’s a fret and he’s got a bit of magic but he was clearly fucked 3 days ago.

Congregated in the corner of their area so they could bew their own players off the park. Brilliant supporters though. Absolutely class and respected throughout football for their support. Their support is absolutely FUCKING MINT marra.

Just put the ball on the centre spot and let the wind blow it about for a couple of hours. Bet it’s tear gas.

Pearson's mad as pan of crabs, seriously unhinged and a shit appointment. I know he laid a few solid stones at Leicester but even so... Poor choice.

'My Pal works in the club and there is something big going off with RAWA. Charlie has slated the fans and Northern people when questioned on the loan/investment at some meeting last week. Full details are being kept from fans but he was under pressure and RAWA were challenging him and he's lost it and some big argument went on. He's massively overstepped the line this time and he's never been seen since. NDA's are flying about and club are trying to stop this coming out. The boy is sick of how Methven is walking around disrespecting people and throwing his weight about to stop things coming out. Club is a Shambles from the top down' No idea how true this is but it's doing the rounds.

Apparently had a right pop at Sunderland fans during one of the fans' meetings the other night. It was all over facey. Someone tried to start a thread last night but it got pulled quickly. Even a brief little poke about on facey will bring up the rumours I'd imagine...

Wilder is spot on, Bruce isn't bang average at all. He's a fucking dogshit manager and a complete shithouse of a human being. The absolute fuckwit could only dream of being bang average.

If he was wearing a different shirt yeah

Yep, this is the future. In 5 years or so each round of matches will be like this imo. No reason why they can't do a version of NFL Redzone for each round either. We'll see tomorrow night.

We've got a brilliant manager apparently and we're coming into the game off the back of a superb draw at home. They're nearly promoted so I'm fully expecting a thumping away win. 0-5. Minimum.

Results like today help the club to survive. Little by little, point by point, slowly scraping a total together and seeing if it’s enough each May. Survival one year means he lingers around for the next attempt at survival starting in August. It’s become a completely pointless and futile exercise with no thought as to being competitive other than eeking things out to give themselves the chance to do it again next year. I’m not celebrating wins, I’m not annoyed at losses, I’m barely even watching half the time truth be told. Just staring at it with dead eyes and waiting for something significant enough to happen to break the cycle. Unfortunately the only thing that’s going to do this is a relegation and a sustained spell away from the bright lights and the big money. I wish it was different but it’s not. If people are getting something out of Ashley’s Newcastle then fair enough, crack on. I’ll just wait, thanks.

Wonder if they try something totally leftfield and go for Fat Sam?

How unlucky and totally out of the blue.

The gym's perfectly adequate, we've got training barns, wheelie bins and paddling pools, stop complaining, you've never had it so good.

How long until this fuckwit gives his opinion on that pile of pigshit? Actually looking forward to hearing it.

Cancel their day off tomorrow Stevie la, get some fucking quality laps out of them instead. That’ll learn them.

Dogshit. Disorganised, sloppy dogshit. There’s no plan, no system, no leadership and they’ve just phoned that half in.

Shit from Yedlin, rightly punished. Amateurish.

He treated Sheff Wed disgracefully in the summer after they bent over backwards to help him after his appointment. He's in no position to start bleating about being sacked over the phone. Can't run with the foxes and hunt with the hounds you fucking wanker. I'd also pay a canny sum to see any footage of someone launching a cabbage off his massive dial though. It sounds funny as fuck

Well I’ll go to the foot of our stairs

This will do untold damage to Ole’s 2019 PPG average force field. Maybe as much as 0.03 He’s doing really well though, you can see it with your own eyes today.
