Monumentally huge, season-defining result. We needed that so badly. Man U were wank but I couldn’t give a single fuck.

Remember Mark Hughes' scissor kick playing for Wales in about 84? Filth.

Cant see it happening again really it was supposedly a 40% reduction from last season even if its 20% that then means hes had a 60% wage cut in 12 months no matter how much you earn losing 60% of it is huge Not sure your maths is right there like 52%.

They were losing huge amounts of money when the income was massive in the PL, fuck knows what the damage is now. They’ve only really shifted Pickford for reasonably big money, gates are massively down, I’d wager sponsorship is down too whilst the wage bill has clearly been cut they’ll still not come close to breaking even for the next years. Survival or not, these horrible cunts are staring squarely into the abyss and it’s going to get even worse in the short term.

This lot are trying to get Conte sacked here like, it’s brutal.

If he’d just kept on running and got clipped then fair enough. Not sure he was getting on the end of his touch anyway to be honest but at least it would have looked more natural. As it happened he took off before Courtois even got there and he was mid air when the faintest of contact was made. He’s cheated, pure and simple. Gayle did it 3 games in a row in December and got zero pens. The colour of the shirt still matters, some clubs get the breaks, others get fuck all.

Now up to 50 months we had a man advantage in the PL....

They could be wiped from the face of the earth and I’d not lift a finger to help them. They don’t even give a fuck about their own club, why should neutrals and rival fans? They’re being run into the ground and there’s not a single murmur of protest. They’ll end up with the club they deserve, fuck them.

Not that type of person.

And never seem to go FOR us. It was a foul and a pen, but is anyone trying to tell me there wasn’t a single solitary infringement made by a single Palace player at any of our corners or free kicks in the full 90 mins? It’s bollocks. Give it every single time or don’t give it at all, don’t pick and choose and definitely don’t masterbate into your fluorescent flag if you give one against Newcastle...

This is the crux of it for me. We’re good enough to take the lead quite often but we’re not prolific enough to get the killer second at all. We’ve thrown points away hand over fist this season because we can’t get that second because the finishing is so poor and/or the mentality of the team after taking the lead is to sit back, concede time and space and we invariably end up conceding. Getting Slimani in was huge. Don’t think it’s too much to say that the club’s survival this season rests on his shoulders. Can’t see anyone else in this squad capable of tucking away enough chances to turn all of these draws into wins.

Bet Everton fans are absolutely delighted that he’s got them trying to replicate Swansea. “This is what Swansea did, it worked, play like this, ok? Off you go.”

Doesn’t matter, they’re safe, what more do they want? Keep that average of more than a point a game going and they’re golden. They can celebrate survival in late April and illuminate whichever local monuments they decide to. Success.

Kamara mentioned there had been a bit of a protest against the owner prior to kick off. I'm paraphrasing but that was the general gist of it.

I like him. Not only is he a skilful little cunt, he’s given us a bit of balance and we can now attack down both flanks with a bit of cutting edge and/or a bit of pace. Teams can no longer just automatically shuffle 5 yards across the pitch when we’re going down the right as we’ve now got options down the left too. Little things. Dangerous set pieces added into that and I reckon Slimani might get 10 before the end of the season if he stays fit. Glass half full I know.

He’s done. Not his fault he’s fucking wank, not even his fault he’s being picked, don’t hate him, but don’t want him anywhere near the club. The lad needs to move on and so do we.

The bottom of the table is still ridiculously tight like. No need for anyone to lose their shit just yet, even an adequate finish to the season will still probably be enough to stay up, getting a proper striker in and converting a few chances will put points on the board, got a decent goal difference but we’ve got to start winning a few home games and/or win some games we’d expect to lose. All isn’t lost yet, we’ve been dreadful for large parts of the season and it’s been very disappointing but we’re still in with a hell of a chance if we get our act together. I’m naturally a bit pessimistic but if we put a decent run together we’ll do it. All to play for as they say.

Simply can’t survive while we continue to throw points away at home. I’m up from a 3 to a 7, officially odds on imo.

Watershed moment for the hopeless fucker. Doubt he’ll play too much of a part for the club ever again. Maybe the odd 10 mins here and there but he’s essentially ended his Newcastle career tonight.

Still need another imo.

Anyone know what usually happens when you squander golden chances to win an important game of football? Asking for a mate.

Good stuff. Gets the hideous little scabby worm out of the club for a bit, got to be a good thing.

None of them are a patch on Susannah Hoffs though Carlisle, Gibson, Hoffs..... Tiffany. And that concludes this series of old men talk about wanks they once had we now return you to our scheduled broadcast Holy Fuck We Signed a Striker. 'once had'...

I would be posting this if we'd actually bought a player who was proven to be able to help us. As long as it helps us I'm happy, loan or buy. All about getting through and hoping we're bought in the summer for me. Ian's one of those strange people who still has expectations and hope. For us normal people this is like waking up to find your drunken, broke, alcoholic, gambler father has got you an XR3i for Christmas. Check for rust behind the wheelarches mate
