woeful

Our crossing is absolutely atrocious.

I want one of those jackets.

There is legitimately no way we will sign Dider Drogba. I won't correct MKSC's grammar for a year if we do.

While we didn't strengthen, Spurs and Arsenal got worse in my opinion, so I think we'll still be in the hunt for 7th-4th.

My point was more they may have deals in place and then tonight may trigger accordingly.

Does the EL even bring in enough revenue to fund extra players? Unless it does why would waiting make any difference? 1. Players might not come if we don't actually have euro football 2. Not sure about finances, I imagine a bit of extra tv money and qualification prize money might add a million here or there which they might not otherwise 3. Might feel that, if they don't qualify for EL, squad as it is fine for domestic-only campaign Taking in all the above, qualification may well change what we may pay for a player. It's just a guess.

I've maintained the entire summer we are waiting to qualify for EL proper before we actually commit to signings. Conjecture on my part but I reckon there will be something in place and if we qualify tonight we'll push it through

Bafflingly shit.

Game over.

Another dive from Torres.

20 good minutes of 4-4-2 then suddenly people want a 4-3-3 after going behind. Not really, 20 minutes of being comfortably the inferior side and, watching as I am and entitled to my opinion as I am, seeing that they are passing around us in the midfield. LOL

4-3-3 please, we're getting passed around too easily.

It really wasn't.

Don't see why people are complaining, it was a total foul.

That was pathetic by Anita.

What's actually wrong with Tiote?

to be honest at this point I just want decent players for a competitive squad. Whatever his failures/issues he's good enough to improve our squad, so I'll take him.

Openly defending a racist to the hilt, to the extent that you wear t-shirts in public in support of him, despite his being found guilty is taking a liberty. This is a piece of business opportunism made to look cheeky by your display of business ineptitude.

I'm from London and live here but born and lived in Newcastle too. London is amazing, but nowhere near as good as people make out. I've been to at least 5 cities which are better outside the UK. Newcastle is smaller and has a bit less to do, but just has this charm, buzz and civic pride that London doesn't. I'd live up there if it made any sense from a career standpoint.

Jesus. Thought you were a batter poster than that pile of s****. Oh get over yourself. You've been responding with sarcastic one liners the whole time too. 'Would hate to have a goal threat in my side like' 'He's actually scored nearly 200 career goals. Means he's good.' Point a: both sarcastic and completely ignorant of the point trying to be made Point b: A simplistic argument that again ignores the entire point of the argument. If my daft and not-completely-serious post offended you, then you should reassess the above comments. Defoe is an extremely limited player who will score goals. It doesn't make him a great player or one anybody has to rate because of it. I think he's 's***' because he is extremely selfish, breaks down numerous attacks through his selfishness and poor decision making/intelligence, is extremely difficult to competently fit into a functioning side both as a lone striker and when paired with somebody who doesn't suit his game. I generally just think he's crap and that no side who ever wants to achieve anything would ever bother to play him. His 'smack the ball with the same technique every time he gets it' routine would be a useful attribute for a s*** or at least mid-table side, admittedly. Maybe at a stretch a wildcard option from the bench for a bigger side. This is my opinion and I won't change it. No matter how many goals Defoe scores this season and hilarious comments occur when he does. Because as long as he is playing every week for Spurs then they have absolutely zero chance of getting into the Champions League. His overall game and ability level will see to that. Great post, 100% agree.

Deserved winners on basis of second half.

Atkinson, man. What a child.

Livermore is Hughton's lovechild

NUFC injury curse alive and well then
