It's not like we were going to have him as a first XI starter. It'll be interesting to watch how his career pans out. I bear him no malice.

Wasn't it just Jotenko ?

I reckon they pronounce the 'p' as well.

Like when I found out that bands would often re do bits of live albums in the studio.

Roger Tames ? I've a mate who was in a Squash ladder with him, lovely bloke before the match but got increasingly narky when getting beat and wouldn't talk and fucked off straight away if he got beat.

Marra is an entry in Northumberland words, A glossary of words used in the County of Northumberland and on the Tyneside by the Rd Oliver Heslop 1983-94. Marrow, Marra, a comrade, a close friend, a workfellow, one of a pair of things, an equal.

Certainly was. Remember it well from 70s and 80s.

I'm pleased he has plenty experience working in Football in this country as well as his experience in the US.

Yeah but it's enjoyable when they get caught out and give away a handball.

Aye, mixed him up with De bolle. We did nick him from Sunderland though.

Quite highly rated kid, full back we nicked from Sunderland.

Could that not be due to the slope of the pitch ?

Are players more likely to break a bone in their foot when tackling in their early 30s than their early 20s ?

Accuweather has cloudy and dry, chance of a thunder dertorm about 6pm ish.

Poor Exile, can't even buy an Aston Martin now.

"they"

That will be because the club probably have a deal with Nexus, not the individual companies.

It wasn't the loudest game, just seemed like it cos you were 5 and those things stay with you. I was there, I was at the first game, riots in London on the way to the game. Chelsea going from Euston, West Ham from St Pancras, 2 coach loads of NUFC in the middle.

Man City will be interesting rhia year because by fuck they have a centre forward. As for us you can have flexibility in movement (like the Dutch total football) or a limited version of that but the players are better. Right now the only thing that would be better than Bruno where he is, is two Brunos in a double pivot.

I'd argue things are more flexible now, defenders are much better on the ball, forwards work more. My issue with our game of 30yrs ago was when it was sussed we had nothing else. Now the better teams adjust.

I'm not presuming that at all, did you watch how much better we were with Bruno at the centre getting the ball off the defence, how good we were ? Was it metronomic? I want fluid and flexible (It's why I want Paqueta more than Diaby) but Bruno in that position is sooooo flexible, the short ball, the long ball, the through ball, the inside ball, the wide ball, all the while maintaining possession and being open to receive possession AND being a twat when they have it.

Seriously Bruno is this game, the short ball, the longer, the ball no one else sees, keeping possession, always being available and not giving it away....... and with what he's had around him. Think with better players, better runs to play to, better control in tight situations to play it to and he's fucking great at the winning it back as well. PS you are hankering after a game that was great 30yrs ago, the games moved on, that game was combated when it barely got going.

The pointless passes, when done well are often an attempt to pull opposition players out of position and to keep them chasing to tire them out. Do you not think it strange that the best teams in the past 30yrs maybe more have been comfortable with the ball at the back and in no hurry to get it forward ? Just because we had Batty and Parker do it to little effect, as much because we didn't have other players who could play that way, don't write it off. My best mate who I sit next to at the match is going to be a bloody nightmare this season until he gets used to not getting it forward as soon as possible.

Not enough salt in the world.

Took a few re reads to see it.
