What are the odds Guthrie will be the first midfielder subbed?

What? you know.

I've just cracked my computer screen. Involuntary reaction.

Fairly good summary of the situation.

Sicko stop.

Too many central midfielders not getting involved. Same as last season.

Someone please put down Nicky Butt

:colo:

Agree with that part of your analysis there.

To be fair, that was probably one of the least daft red cards I've ever seen.

Well we were poor, but there were always going to be games when we don't play so well, but we won so this game can be forgotten about. Away win at one of the promotion favourites tbh.

What happenned to GHoeberX?

Fuck Butt

Chillax guys, its just words on a computer screen [/nervous]

No league goal conceded for over 411 minutes.

We're not allowed to judge a player after one game, but we are allowed to hail a player who hasn't even played properly for us yet. To be honest, I reckon he might have been a better choice than Donaldson for the bench today given the other players we've got in the team/bench, but its not the end of the world that he isn't.

What do we introduce when we keep giving the ball away when we need someone to pass it around and take off the pressure? Ah yes, a kid who's never played a league game before And who isn't even on the bench.

I saw Southend play once back in the Robson days. Cort in defence, Bramble up front. Was loltastic.

A medical is all about the insurance. All there to determine whether a player is 'at risk.' It was like RvN, failed a medical at Man United, went home to get fit and prove his fitness then did the injury the medical showed him as at risk for, missing the season. so basically, in a couple of weeks chances are Cathcart will no longer be at risk and pass the medical so he can get the insurance.

Yes. It's just an opt out for all parties if for some reason it isn't a success. Advantages for us and Manyoo.

Hardly his fault his hip died on him.

tbf, I think Harris is just giving himself a wide safety net. Now today has passed, there is no real urgency to get us sold before then so all the finer terms of the deal can now be dragged on.

he says that he's feeling physically great and is the quickest at the club, but he hasn't had enough practice with the ball over the summer. Team mates have been texting him begging him to come back, and he has enjoyed living in the area.

Spot on! He looked absolute rock solid against Leicester. In fact i'd go so far as to say it was one of the best left back performances i've seen from a Newcastle player. I thought that was his worst game of the season (not that he was bad like).
