  1. Has the Don or posh boy tweeted any anti-Newcastle stuff tonight to cheer them up a little ?
  2. Oh how they rejoiced when they beat our schoolboy/junior team in the Checkathingy They may be able to do it all over again next season
  3. If Barnsley beat Blackpool on Saturday it pretty much means Sunderland have to win their 3 remaining games and hope Barnsley lose their last game. Looking like it's the play offs.
  4. aye it seems a lot of people want to liken him to a former flair player. His style looks quite unique to me from what I've seen, perpetual motion, very attacking, but as he showed once again on Saturday, very willing to get back and track when needed.
  5. I think that's a little over the top. He was 20 years old when he came here iirc. Five years in the toon has erased his heritage 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He may well have more in common with the NE than Spain considering Newcastle is closer to Madrid than the place he comes from
  6. The assault on Almiron today was serious foul play, as well as denying a goal scoring opportunity, so take your pick what the red should have been given for. It's probably a toss up between that and the Pickford joke for what was the worst piece of referee bottling this season, though there's a few contenders for the worst decision overall.
  7. Again for the "n"th consecutive year they will be the English club with the most empty seats over a season. As they watch on from the third division it really hurts them that our stadium is full week after week, with a world class manager who the fans love. Mackem logic therefore has to take over to console their sad selves. So they repeat the same nonsense over and over again until in their warped and simple minds it becomes Wearside fact. The latest nonsense they are regurgitating is about Almiron, who almost everyone outside of Wearside realises is a stunning talent and has been the major factor in Newcastle's improved performances since he arrived, while they continue to depend on 60k a week Catts to bother his arse in one game in five. They're more to be pitied than scorned.
  8. Heard a few people changing their hopes for tomorrow post match.
  9. Definitely. Get well quick Miguel. Just loved watching our games since he arrived.
  10. Awesome When the game turned against us in the second half he became the main driver to keep it together and turn it back round.

    MOTM without Ayoze's show. Outstanding. Top class defending. Still so underrated by so many.
  12. Have to say that I have great sympathy with fans who were showered with missiles on Saturday, anyone who throws objects indiscriminately into a crowd deserves to be punished hard. That said they have to take a look at themselves and the way they have behaved. Perhaps it would be better if they showed just a hint of humility occasionally, instead of constantly telling everyone how much better they are than any other club, being everyone's cup final and how they will take grounds over. Even their new owners can't resist making their mouths go about their closest rivals. Some of them have gone out of their way to be as insulting as possible about Coventry supporters, openly displaying hatred and telling them if anyone comes looking for trouble then Sunderland will sort them out. It's little wonder that the idiots from Coventry rise to the bait. They still make jokes on their forum about the time they threw a flare at a disabled Newcastle supporter and proudly boast about their own hooligan actions, but their tune seems to have changed a bit since the weekend.
  13. That 5th Coventry goal man Did the 2 centre backs and the keeper want Coventry to win ?
  14. At least they can console themselves with having won the most daytripper/hangeron fans drinking out of cans on Trafalgar Square award
  15. Mackems man they always give you a laugh but that was just pure comedy Seems like they're baying for Dross's blood.
  16. Difficult to argue with the numbers - we probably are the 7th best side over that period. In fairness some of the earlier games were quite bizarre and so often we were just a rub of the green or a wrong decision from registering more points, so overall we should probably be top ten. Our recruitment over the last year or so, while typically unspectacular, has been very shrewd indeed and overall much more positive than many clubs who way outspent us and that was probably a point Rafa was getting across last night in a really positive and clever interview. Even against the top clubs in those first half dozen games we were maybe one moment in the game from a result. Yep, Man Utd away is probably the most glaring of all, but Spurs, Chelsea, Brighton and even Cardiff away, where we were awful, we could easily have had more points board. Then there's Wolves home and away, Man Utd home and many others where it was an very fine margin from gaining and extra point or two. I'm not implying we were always the better side in those games, just that we were very, very close to better results.

    In a position where we have more depth and quality than ever before he is probably going to end the season as the best of the bunch. Not many people would have bet on that early in the season.

  19. Only hypothetically of course, but I'd like to see him in a top team to see how he fared when surrounded by players of the highest level. That said, playing alongside the quality of Rondon and Almiron shows how his game has already taken a step forward.
  20. I'd have liked to have seen more of Muto as whenever he has played I've been quite impressed, but he's more competing for a place with Ayoze and Rafa loves Ayoze.
  21. It's amazing how many crucial goals he either scores or assists in. Take away the frustrating bits and he's in a Champions League quarter final team.

    Much more Albert than Woodgate.
  23. Great player who gives us something extra when counter attacking.
