Giroud? :: Piatek? :: As if, FFS.

Was it the coked up young’uns who made up the majority of the 3000 today?

Excellent win for Blyth today - 1-0 at Kiddiminster.

Because it's the template what Rafa left - the players are used to it. However under Bruce, the players have clearly regressed. Not only that, we are badly missing Rondon and Perez.

Ashley won't be happy that we haven't been knocked out today. But, supporters are angry so that might temper him a bit. Bruce is just way out of his depth here. Won't be long until the happy clappers and free-ticket lot begin to turn on him.

As I said in the match thread, his confidence is shot (has been for ages) and he needs a spell out of the side. Instead though, Bruce is leaving him in, to be his patsy. Mind, not being good enough is one thing, but the lack of effort today.

Garbage 2nd half from NUFC - Rochdale were well worthy of their draw and perhaps should have won. Another unwanted replay, which I of course won't be attending. Joelinton needs a spell out of the side - he's been hung out to try by Bruce and it shows.

I'm surprised that he's gone for an XI as strong as that. Mind, am still wondering where the goals are going to come from.

What a walloper.

His PFM mates in the media will be sticking up for him in the coming weeks, sadly.

The likes of Gayle, etc won't be played because Ashley won't want them cup-tied. Makes them more attractive to sell.

Patronising cunt.

Won't be picked up on by the local press. Guaranteed. Things are nice and cosy for them and NUFC at the moment! Why rock the boat?

We will exit the FA Cup as quickly as possible and Bruce has his excuses in place. It's what the owner wants. More fool those who have paid for tickets to travel down.

Yup - he played well today and I've no issue with his celebration.

Norwich 1 Palace 1 Whickham

my bad

Man City 2 Everton 1 Richarlison - huge mistake by Claudio Bravo

Can we reset the poll, tonight?

Man City 2 Everton 0 Jesus bags his 2nd.

Man City 1 Everton 0 Gabriel Jesus

As has been said before, he played at inside-left in Germany, so whoever thought he could make a Rondont-type foward, wants fucking shot. Dodgy as hell.

.com say over 52K, but I saw a fair few empty seats in the Leazes and East Stand (from TV)

I thought it was all paid for, upfront? ::

Come again? ::
