STM

I want absolute full strength, no fucking about, let's get these beaten and things will look rosier the other side of the game.

Imagine taking the piss out of disabled people and acting all hard. Is it so difficult for you to make a sensible point about season ticket holders, without having to insult somebody several times? Honestly, I'd love the mods to ban you but I'd rather you stuck around so we can show you what an absolute weapons grade gobshite you are. One day SJP will be rid of miserable old knackers like you and it will be a better place for it.

I got an eye prescription last week. Haven't ordered any specs yet.

1-0 down but 66 minutes and we've been OK. We've actually defended better than Sunday.

Willock and Murphy quality letting them down.

Van Dijk leaving an elbow. No mention

Given how hard Tonali can strike a ball, he'd have been my choice.

"Injured"

I feel like with Joelinton, Botman and Isak we'd give these a proper game mind.

Swap Gordon for Willock and bring Osula on for Wilson.

Hall and Tino have been brilliant.

It's a game where the lads with the pace and physicality are showing up the slower ones.

Apart from the goal, Tonali has been good. Bruno has been invisible.

So passive. No pressing whatsoever. Sitting off invites pressure and we aren't good enough to deal with it.

That's shocking all around. Diaz totally unchallenged against Tino.

Newcastle playing 442, commentary mentions = once Salah penalty mentions = calculator broken. Edit: what's their actual job?

We playing 442 here? Gordon up front?

This ain't the game for Gordon not to track back. That's the only negative thing I'm going to say.

Rafa is so intelligent man. Pissing over regular pundits.

Also Forest have Chelsea last game of the season. Gonna be very interesting.

If it goes down to the wire, we will smash Everton at home on the last day. Crowd will be buzzing.

Without looking at our fixtures, I believe we have Man United H Ipswich H Chelsea H Everton H These are about as good as fixtures as I could have asked for... my reasoning is that 3 of them are sides I'd expect the crowd and team to be well up for and Ipswich are piss poor. On the other hand Liverpool A Arsenal A Villa A Are games we really need to fight for anything we can get. 3 points from them would be a good return. (I know we have more fixtures than that, they are just ones I've picked out.)

I suppose that's as good as can be expected with them fixtures. Southampton was always a write off against Chelsea. Once again, a completely unpredictable middle pack. We can trust others to slip up, we just need to go and grab as many points as we can.

I'm pleased that we've only got a small break until the next game after this. Id much prefer Howe to think outside the box for this one. Id be tempted to bring Krafth in at RCB and play with wing backs.
