HawK

Apart from when he carried the ball up the line to achieve the succession of corners followed by the immediate assist for the the second goal, aye. Ok, one moment in the past year or so then. My bad.

Irrecoverably Pardewed.

That table is a missing a fairly fucking critical field lol.

Good post.

That's a good bet. Barnsley will soon realise how he operates and with their gung-ho style, it'll be geared to Armstrong's strengths on the counter. As a team I reckon they're going to score lots, but also ship tonnes over the course of the season. I very much doubt we're going to top the league for goals scored this season.

I think he's fine as a purely defensive left-back, especially at this level.

Considering some of left-field 1-season wonders and cameos that came into the squad the last time we were in the Championship and not seen again in the PL - One Size Fitz Hall Harewood Khizanishvili van Aanholt I wonder how many of the current influx are going to be shipped out literally next Summer? You'd think that (hopefully) after blasting the Championship, although a year older, their values would increase and we'd get a fair whack for some of them?

2nd. If we win by two goals today we go above them though. I don't think they'll go the distance tbh

Net spend since 2007/2008 is now £15.2m, source - transferleague.co.uk Newcastle United earned over £70m in TV income in just 2015-2016 alone. Still a hell of a lot more to do for me.

TransferMarkt have us at evens for sales/purchases before the Sissoko sale. Lots of money in the bank for January if Rafa gets the funds that he intimated he would have from player sales.

Building up a good relationship with Coventry now.

The outside of San Mamés at night is magical.

Same. My Ghanaian mates seem to really rate him ridiculously highly. Don't know much about him but looks quick, skilful and still only 24. Would rather him than McMananananananananananaBATman any day of the week

If I was putting bets on it would be on Haidara being out for the season. True

Bets on being out for the season with a 'training ground injury' after meeting up with Haidara?

Not a bad team. Not a single fucker from 2015/2016. Good.

I haven't read any of the replies so far, but I know the consensus on here is that he's a c*nt and should walk off the nearest cliff, and I agree for that tackle. He should have gone to prison let alone been banned. I've only seen him a couple of times in games, and he seems to be a bit like James McLean but can also dribble the ball a bit. In the traditional winger role, he seemed to be quite effective. This was when he was in the PL mind, haven't seen him in the Championship or even how many games/assists etc. he has gotten. That said, I think there's no way he's going to be here at the same time as Haidara, can see Haidara being shipped out if McMananaman arrives. If he does arrive, he's got more balls than most and he's going to have a massive job to turn the fans around. He's a c*nt. But maybe we need some c*nts in our first 11...

Really hoping for the Taylor/Carroll altercation version 2, with Mitrovic and Colback. Is that wrong?

Not even an undertone

Pancrate MkII tbh, except it would have taken Gouffran years to get to that point

Took that like Carroll took that England goal. Great header.

Making plays ?
