  1. I think this graphic will help. I found a statistical analysis that attempts to answer the age old question: Who was better: Charlie Austin or Sergio Aguero? Anyway, as you can see, Sergio Aguero took 4.4 shots per game, and scored 25 goals, whereas Charlie Austin only took 3.7 shots per game, and therefore only scored 17 goals. So we finally know, Sergio Aguero was a better player than Charlie Austin. Anyway, as this relates to Newcastle, what I would propose, is that Eddie asks his players to be more like Sergio Aguero, and less like Charlie Austin.
  2. Did anyone see the goal like? Was bobbins. Crisp packet hands England keepers letting em in for free. Does make me wonder whether Eddie has ever considered asking our team to shoot once in a while. IMO shooting leads to more goals.
  3. Yeah this is pretty much my speed. And given the highest profile (feasible) English manager was Graham f'n Potter, I'm alright with Tuchel. We have a very limited pool of established English managers. It's a wildly multi cultural league, further diluted by the whole United Kingdom thing. Scottish managers have had infinitely more success than English managers. We've never had an English manager win the PL since football started 32 years ago. We're shit. It IS a little embarrassing that we need to hire a German manager. But the alternatives are Graham Potter and Lee Carsley. Fuck that.
  4. Mine just arrived today (as well as my third track jacket ) Tis very nice. It would be legendary if it wasn't teal like. Still, regretting not getting the tracky bottoms and going full tracky wanker.
  5. “We talked for a long time,” Puel told Nice-Matin. “I met a calm person, who loved football. He followed other games, he had ideas about the game. “I found him to be a peaceful person, contrary to the image people are given about him: unmanageable, hostile. I didn’t see somebody who was messed up, that’s the most important thing. “That was a great team in every position, but he was the best.” https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/peaceful-ben-arfa-not-like-his-public-image-says-former-nice-manager-puel/1eki3kyf164st1mfuzvwj952lj
  6. I haven't given up on you yet, Miguel. It's time to feed.
  7. That was just on this release BROTHER. I just checked the order I placed direct w/club when the home kit came out. Was nearly $500 on its own. I win. Maybe. This doesn't really feel like winning. I'm putting the calculator away.
  8. So far I have bought from The club website Adidas UK Adidas USA With an combined expenditure of $505 or £379. I solved FFP a long time ago.
  9. FAO freedom lovers - US Adidas store now has the tracksuit top/bottoms and retro fakey long sleeve jersey.
  10. cheers for this. Ordered sensible sized things to my brothers house in hopes I can somehow get it across the Atlantic in the not so distant future. Or it just appears in the US and I return.
  11. Yorkie is only 12 so it makes sense he doesn't have the nostalgia tinted glasses for the Adidas Originals merch
  12. Why not both!? (but srsly, that second shirt is fire so I reject your comment)
  13. 5:30am and all the sensible sizes are sold out.
  14. AFC Wimbledon game has been moved to the first of October. Everything's coming up Mighouse.

    With Isak crocked we probably won't have to!

    Harvey Barnes

    Aye. Scored a goal every 3 games in the PL if wiki is to be believed. I have zero recollection of him as a player but it's canny strike rate. Especially for West Brom...

    Harvey Barnes

    Also read that, and the fun part was that Harvey Barnes was 9th in goal conversion rate of outside the box shots in PL history. Probably gone up now. Link if anyone wants to read an exceptionally long article on something relatively trivial: https://www.bbc.com/sport/extra/7ruba7shs4/the-slow-death-of-the-screamer
  18. Why was he HAULED at the half yesterday? I'm assuming he isn't crocked?
  19. I don't have it on my PC but....
  20. Tends to depend how much player power they have. It's not unheard of for players to down tools and just be like nah son. Or the trade isn't made in the first place because of that. Some players also have clauses in their contracts saying they refuse to move to Cleveland. Or other teams. But mostly Cleveland.

    Don’t be so negative! It happened when they said Botman would be alreet! About two games before he was ruled out for a decade.
