Southampton vlog. Bless their little faces when Bruno scores.

It's worth reminding any fan that cares to listen that a bad manager can make the best players look shite. Emery will do wonders for your younger players like Ramsey. I still think Villa should have bought some youth as well as experience and I think Coutinho is a right off.

Will take your word. We all live in Brunos world mate.

It's also a clever boost. Just when you get an unwanted result, you bring a lad fresh of the rank, ready to inject some enthusiasm back into the team. Worked with Bruno like a charm.

I actually think we will target a full back, since Dummett, Manquillo and Richie will all be players under threat of losing their place in the squad soon.

Reet I'm going to throw something out there.... you know there is a PL goalscorer who has recently had itchy feet, wants to become to the all time leading PL goalscorer, is desperate for a trophy before the end of his career and who's contract runs out in 18 months. Look, I'm just saying for the first time in my mind have I even considered the idea that we might be able to sign someone of his calibre. I know we love Callum but he's hardly mister reliable and we have to be thinking ahead. Don't hate me for my lunacy.

First half he was poor but even in those moments sent couple of blinding passes. Basically Brunos 5/10 is your average players 7.

Or we could play it game by game, like Howe does, and let the little fuckers fight it out.

Any player we sign now becomes part of a squad, a squad that is anticipating European football soon and therefore should expect to be rotated from time to time. Whether it be Joelinton, Willock, Longstaff or a Maddison, they all need to come in to the side on merit and understand they might have sit a game out when tactically required. The only time a set 11 would come into play is when play "big" games and even then Howe might have horses for courses. Not a rant at you Yorkie.

It's also conveniently forgotten that Chris Wood was a calculated over spend and also Isak distorts that figure massively since he has hardly kicked a ball.

And I mean this, I hope Villa with Emery can start upsetting some of the cartel too. It doesn't benefit anyone having certain clubs constantly pulling up the ladder. Obviously I don't want you to beat Newcastle but if Villa made top 6 in the next couple of seasons, at the expense of Spurs or Chelsea or whoever, we would all benefit. I also quite like Emery. It's time for a change at the top of this league and it starts with Newcastle and it doesn't have to end there.

He'd be class for anyone with a threatening centre forward aerially. His delivery's are up there with Trippier and TAA. He's just not being utilised properly.

After the Willock goal, there's a tiny noise/word thar Ando makes in the background that put a huge smile on my face. Like a "ha", everyone go and listen for it. Its glorious.

If ever there was a time to hoy another 10m on a player of Maddisons calibre, January would be the time to do it. Strike while iron is hot. He wouldn't even need to go straight into the starting 11. Wait until we hit a bump in the road and rotate him and Isak into the starting line up. 4th would be ours.

Lads a think 7 is on like.

Title contenders at current.

Wilson was ill remember, probably not got 100% energy.

Che Adams has shades of Wilson to his game. Bit of a rough shithouse. If he scored more he'd be a player.

If only Eddie Howe had us in such good condition that we are nearly always better in the second half.....

Came in to post this.

Sunderland fans normally do "lest we remember", thick cunts.

Little cunt used to torture us.

Some good bench options.

Or not.

Got a sneaking feeling that Maxi starts.
