HawK

Was going to mention Carl Cort in terms of his availability. Went to check WiKi and saw he's Ruben Loftus-Cheek's half-brother?!

Always better when they leave out unnecessary politics. I liked the grammatical correction in the penultimate frame, he couldn't be bothered to erase the remaining 3 words so just changed 'they' to 'it' and left a ruddy great space

Was too young to see any of Romario, but from that video I can confidently say he shoots like Messi and dribbles like Kerlon. The stutters and momentum reversals around the box and keeper remind me of Beardsley tbh

Prison Mike for me Prison Mike, what's the food like in prison?

The calmness is almost Woodgate-esque.

4-1 almiron

Its the free ride, when you already paid.

We’re a bargain at £300M. This is why we're never really for sale, if we were we'd be clearly marked as RRP £1000m, reduced to £500m 50% off, Now £300m Final Clearance Sales all stock must go! And a free pair of Donnay Socks.

Can't get in a league one squad, but should play in the premier league? Bit short sighted to say the least. HBA couldn't get into Steve Bruce's relegated Hull team so he shouldn't be starting in UEFA cup then?

Wouldn't renew.

Better than Messi too imo.

Yeah I think he was the waterboy ffs just posted that and saw you did at top of page

Looks like if Hulk and Neymar had a baby.

https://www.soccerstats.com/trends.asp?league=england Some pretty amazing trends there - check out the 'Goals' tab. We are major outliers in goals per game for both teams, less than 48% of our matches have a total of 3 goals or more, with only 2 matches with 4 goals and 1 match with 5. The absolute epitomy of the genius of Rafa Benitez, we don't get tonked and working within our means. Our matches also have the lowest average goals per game of 2.15 which is well below any other side. Other interesting stats, only Huddersfield, Wolves and Arsenal have not had a 0-0 this season, and surprisingly, Arsenal (27%) have been involved in more matches than Fulham (26%) having 5 or more goals scored for any given match. Also, only Huddersfield (10) have lost more games than us (9) by a single goal, but as a percentage of overall loses we seem to be involved in more narrow defeats that anyone else.

Sod the U21s, he should be in the full squad.

Almirondon.. But what number to go under that on the shirt...

Genuine question, do you not include Keegan in the " greats" of Newcastle United? Great manager, but no disrespect to Keegan, Bobby's just much more of a great man imo. That certain ineffible quality.

He literally is as close to Sir Bobby as anyone could get. For us to have been blessed with the presence of these two great men is a privilege.

I don't remember Chelsea beating man City 6-0

If my kids behaved like that I’d punish them with a Sunderland season ticket and a good clip around the ear just for added measure. How do you think those kids got there? My guess would be brothers and sisters being too friendly.

Reluctant to get a shirt with his name on the back because of the inescapable double entendre wind ups I'd expect to receive.

Expectations upon opening thread - some wooden patio chair with 'Shearer9' scrawled on the frame somewhere in a black sharpie. Reality of opened thread - dear lord

Yeah, it's only you that looks like him.

Making friends again eh, always his strong point the nutter

Ferdinand?
