The only dead horse that has been flogged more is the fast and furious franchise 

That’s not his point though, is it? His point is that £80m isn’t insulting or inherently unreasonable. 

Any team with Bowen and Paqueta has a chance in my view

Absolutely gutted for the bloke if anything truly severe comes from it. It's obviously an incredibly poor decision to chat away so candidly to someone holding a camera, but what exactly is the gotcha here? Is PGMOL suddenly not satisfied that he behaves in an impartial and objective manner because he thinks Klopp's a cunt for publicly berating him? Surely not, ffs. 

 

I loathe how much top level football is about referees and officiating these days. However, you do wonder if - in times like these - there'd actually be some value in the likes of PGMOL actually acknowledging that the refs are human beings, rather than admonishing them beyond repair whenever that humanity is revealed. 

In a nutshell because it’s a massive opportunity to virtue signal

Was it Potter who said people who don’t rate Dan Burn don’t understand football? Or something to that effect.

 

For £10-15m we have a centre half / left back who is super reliable, dedicated and endurable. He does so much more good than he does bad and to be otherwise is to willingly opt for ignorance. He’s a cracking Newcastle player and we’re lucky to have him.

For the record I mean Graham, not Harry

Disciplined enough to follow what he's told to do. Do you really think he just goes wandering off of his own accord ?

Why is this buffoon always so far forward when we attack? So undisciplined. 

Your dedication is admirable

Iraola nailed on for Spurs if this happens IMO

You reckon? I think he’d stay at Bournemouth. Not much between them this year IMO

@Theregulars you have to admit the a second half was class mate. 
 

Already did, but aye I was surprised and fair play to him 

Well, Forest are overrated 

Long time coming but what a lovely convincing away performance 

Fair play to Howe - that’s a come back which deserves total praise. Thought we were dull again but he proved me wrong

This is why I am losing faith in him. People can go into his thread after (very decent obviously) home games and say shit like “where are the haters” but then a week later it’s back to being a soft touch. 
 

 

Man to be fair to him, great performance thus far second half.

Stupid sub

Hard to be mad when a ref is beating you

It’s not just the ref though. Our attacking play is toothless, set pieces really bad, set piece marking poor, passing not good - we’re really bad away from home, every time. It’s not good enough from the manager.

At some point Howe needs to cop it for how consistently awful we are away, it’s just so easy to hold us out

Gordon not having his best game 

Like every week 

The set pieces are embarrassing man

Final ball wretched as ever 

Terrific refereeing that

I know I live a very closeted life since my retirement but I've never heard anyone from Newcastle calling us `the toon`

I definitely have, multiple times. Perhaps more common down here in London.

Same principle I reckon. Arsenal doesn't need an article, there's only one of them.  

 

That said I reckon it's only ever really used to fill the meter in songs by making it four syllables, so maybe it's not the same principle.

I suppose it’s not much different from us calling ourselves the toon really. Probably coloured by my hatred of arsenal

Will have posted this before but inspired by watching the lasses v. Birmingham, the way they go by 'blues' with no definite article

 

"Great chance for blues to equalise", "great start to the second period by blues".  Fuck off man.  Get your heads out of your arses and hoy a The in there.

 

 

 

Conversely I hate “the” arsenal.
