Ritchie would have started had he been fit.

Rafa just said he needed more power in attack

Like for like replacement as best as you can

Why isn't Mendy starting

I just want to win today.

is Defour even any good? (stepping stone signing)

Awesome

missing that sitter versus Villa at home and then basically hit rock bottom from that point on.

We lost Ba that winter to Chelsea, as well, right? And whiffed on Remy? That day when we all thought we had him and then it turned out he went to QPR....some lowest of lows man.

No need to boo him if he comes on the pitch; booing him or cheering him isn't going to change the situation. Need 3 points tomorrow, if he plays and helps -- even better.

Nah you usually fact check the shit out of things and prove to be right There's been no training pictures this week. Rafa probably said okay none of that lets get to work.

Didn't think he was but I'll defer to joey

Extremely

Why would Clark start at LB? Dummett is fit or they play Gamez there no?

Neesy doesn't give a single flying fuck. Love him.

slow news week after a loss brings the best out of our supporter base

Don't know what's better, the screenshot of this thread, the ass-kissing by NUFC_Leazes, or the highly mature put-downs of calling people fat, virgins, or world of warcraft know-it-all types (is that really a thing?)

snat-chahp in the rafa voice

I've got the book but cant quite get to the end of it. will start it tonight now that I'm back home. I really level through these books on flights, so will prob read most of it in a few weeks on next road trip. If anyone has time, I think they should read the books about Keegan - fascinating stuff (tons of what-ifs), same for SBR. Will have to do this for Rafa as well tbh. You all either grew up with these guys, hear stories every day or are exposed to more "news" than we are here in America so this reading helps me catch up a bit. Fear and loathing in la Liga by Sid Lowe is pretty good. Forza Italia by Paddy Agnew is good iirc, Calcio is also meant to be good but never read it. Have been meaning to read The Miracle of Castel di Sangro and A Season with Verona for years but never read either Thanks man!

Aye but if a bear s***s in the woods and no one sees it fall what's the point in Newcastle even playing so many games. we get like...1 of those on TV.

that hug is pretty hilarious like

the little chap is finally gone.

one of the funniest posts of a all time

I'm trying to group my footy books now. Feel like I've done enough reading on Newcastle now that I've read about half a dozen books on Keegan, SBR and Shearer. I've read the Bellamy book, Das Reboot, but want to get into reading a bit about Maldini and then go off on to read some books on the Spanish (Barca maybe?) and Dutch (total football) type stuff.
