The contrast between ours and the Spurs one is night and day. The host, the analysis, the lack of shit craic, the willingness from said people to fairly get stuck into the manager, team, and owners when necessary. Saying that, the Guardian lads hate going to games nearly as much as they hate fans being in attendance at games. What’s this? Jacob Lees-Mogg? There’s a huge market IMO for a more documentary/broad stroke style pod like Set Piece Menu or what Gazetta was but alas they don’t seem to last. The Guardian ones where they tackle an issue such as racism or gambling etc are way more eye opening than the normal drivel they pump out. Come to the conclusion I actually prefer listening to stuff that isn’t PL (and definitely not Newcastle) focused as you see through it too much albeit some of the pundits are obviously decent and know their stuff. Absolute #1 for me by a mile. I genuinely worry that if anything it’s too much aimed at me if anything.

Canny afternoon at Heaton Stan 3-3 Consett. Both teams will be annoyed they didn’t win it. Stan still yet to record a win at their new level.

Lived his best life. RIP Sven.

Big Matz v The Odyssey could be a game for the ages.

Adopted Geordies is appalling. They’ll get guests but by god its poor.

My hope is Nuno absolutely despises playing strong teams in the cup but aye, Anderson 1-0 with Minteh (for some explicable reason) wanking himself raw in the crowd will be a rough one. On the flip side these are shit. Last minute winner off Miggy’s arse.

Into these rancid Thatcher loving scab, PSR saving, shit ground, head butting their ex players, shit accent, wankers

Absolutely no consistency but do your thing

Weird Ando and Razor are on this but not the short highlights. Hard dislike.

Sickening how long you have to wait for a prematch thread these days tbh.

Interesting take RE: ball retention and not something I’d considered, it’s something I reckon Howe would favour over being a good defender which to me he’s 50/50 but still clearly learning. Very much a work in progress but one I’m pleased to have.

Maupay has called the fans out on Twitter n all.

Ah The Ev…

100% and I’m not having a go as he made a difference when he came on. Same as midds says above, he goes into automatic mode and tbf he wasn’t too far away but it probably at the same time shows why he’s not absolute top level. I’m nitpicking tbh, far bigger concerns to take from today.

Looked dry as fuck in addition to blowing a hooly. We didn’t seem to work this out until half way through the second half.

I don’t think they mentioned it on the comms or showed the replay from a right angle but after he flashed that chance wide of the post there was a tiny shot of Isak absolutely fizzing he didn’t play him in. Would have to see it back properly and tbf 99% of players are shooting there particularly when you’ve got the finishing record to back it up like Barnes has.

Strange game. Thought both teams were really poor on the ball, don’t think the wind (or a dry looking pitch) aided on that front though. Thought our tactics until the Trippier/Barnes sub were bizarre which massively impeded us going forward likewise the constant short corners which kept leading to nothing especially when Neto isn’t the best, put him under some pressure. Wouldn't have said anyone had a better than 7/10 performance for us with Bruno probably being the pick as he, at least, looked to make things happen. The usual deficiencies, we’ve seen so many times, from us kept coming to the fore which made for a hugely frustrating game. The draw was probably a fair result in total albeit you’d be fewmin’ if that disallowed goal was the other round. Positively we are a point up on last season so you can’t grumble too much.

Can’t win in games like this unfortunately. Still mildly annoyed Brentford haven’t been done for doping or something. Sick of them.

Just a shame we don’t have an absolute freak and total weirdo anymore.

Colombians can’t get enough of that spelling of John for reasons unknown. Drug trafficking’s Jhon Viáfara was all over it. Jhon Cordoba too.

Standard 6/10. Was playing relatively deep compared to where he started for us.

Gibbs White puts Notts ahead. Only been watching the second half but Saints are shit.

Not a good afternoon for keepers

Why you making the tackle there?
