He was fine. This is his kind of game. Backs to the wall, no possession, no attacking kind of games.

Apparently Bolasie (26) and Punchy (29) are youngsters in the eyes of today's cockernee commentator.

Ffs

Pretty nice goal by falcao. Class cross by Beardsley.

Football is shit

Don't they have a rando brazilian right back too? Wallace! Where the fuck is Wallace?

Yeah. Who knows. Either way, I think his contract is significant in regards to how much playing time he's going to get. I think we're intentionally limiting his time, through fear he will peace out and sign with someone who will pay him big money. I'm assuming we'll go in with our standard negotiation of "sign a 20 year contract and we'll not stand in the way if a CL team offers 20m". Ignoring that, I think he's more than good enough to be staying in our squad. We need a squad, not just XI players. He is on the bench every game, he's very likely to start a significant number of games this season.

Aye well I'm assuming there's no proof of that, so I'm sticking with 2016.

2 years fwiw That's not what ol' tmarkt says... http://www.transfermarkt.com/rolando-aarons/profil/spieler/258188

Send him on loan when he has a year left of his contract? That'll make him want to re-sign I'm sure.

"dutchy"

I'd be very happy with that, but I doubt it'll happen. Especially given the opposition. Perhaps if we were against a lesser team we'd consider going a little more attacking with that CM partnership. (technically I'd dump Sissoko for SDJ, but I'd be content with either)

Wey - lads, I've got a class one. "The Kazakhstanis should stick to exporting potassium." I'm gonna air that one out at the pub tonight. I'll let you know how it lands.

Reckon we've got ourselves a nasty case of the #lads in here like.

It's just appeared on Ed Harrison's blog of all places. I try and avoid it usually but fair play to him on this occasion. Thanks for looking all the same. its on vimeo, called Newcastle Pre-Match Video

It's one thing when they say "United" during a Man Utd vs Chelsea match, but the shitehawk commentating on our game last weekend spent the entire fucking game saying it. Wanted him stabbed.

It would be a great backbone to build on. However, we're not building. We buy when we're in danger, hold/sell when we're comfortable / if someone impresses. We're no builder. We're the shitty landlord that does just enough to make the place livable, but only when absolutely forced to.

IMO it's difficult to be considered "dominating" when you haven't scored a single clean goal in the league after 3 games. Controversial I know.

Steve Black to the rescue then. I think thats what steve black is there for. Well that'll be nice if it works. Although no matter what it'll still be slightly odd for the GAFFA to be sat in the background while his spirit squad steps in for him.

If it was just our XI, I'd say Europa league. But it isn't, so I'd say 10th. We'll still probably finish 12th. No faith in McClaren's motivational abilities if we hit a rocky patch.

The way I understood the Sky interview was more of a way to motivate the crowd (and players/staff) before a huge game, not a panic because people are being mean. Fat sweaty billionaires mumbling lies on TV isn't all that motivational IMO. Especially when the crowd themselves can't actually see.

Onion sack? My olde timey reference game is poor.

Aye but you've gotta admit it's a canny night with the lads when ya beat Northy Town and Willo hits the old onion bag.
