Colos Short and Curlies

Games on Metro were my childhood and loving away from Newcastle Razor and Ando have been the main way of keeping up with games. Having spent time listening to other local commentator teams we really do have a belta of a pair, despite as you say their obvious points of either unprofessionalism or hyperbole

I think all the continental tournaments should be played in the same season so players get a fair break every other year. Afcon and world cup in the same season is daft

If we'd held on against them we'd be above them on GD right now. Stupidly tight league atm

The only thing better than a 90th minute winner is a 90th minute winner scores by Brino

Full on Halloween dress up. Maybe one of the Kpop crew for ultimate lols

I can see Tonali on the bench again if he's not 100%

Is that 2 games until he's outscored Isak?

Nunez was absolutely erratic but he is the type of player who is always involved which got him a lot of chances. I may be misremembering here but wasn't a lot of the derision due to the number of chances he missed? When Isak is off form he is a passenger and doesn't get the chances.

Big Jam's been here 10 years already hasn't he?

Can we stick that pass from Bruno in the Louvre

Allison?

Toni Kroos

Sooo many unexplained groin injuries in that Chelsea team

Ist have been his first or second game up here where they ended up with 9 men after making 3 subs at half time then getting some second half injuries. Kluivert header cup game maybe

I've got it on my head that Jose has a pretty shit record at SJP. Probably a false recollection

That would be awesome

I like this guy, low key quickly becoming the best and most informed poster on here

As I say it's not knocking him at all, it's just that saying he has signed players who have improved the squad is not really praise when he was looking to upgrade on Big Jeff in midfield. Id argue the prose in his transfer work has been in identifying the players who have been undervalued and being able to convince them to join when they did

They'd have built a different make up of squad tbf. The question is would they be doing a better job of they'd started when Howe did and had the same amount of cash to spend. What sets Howe apart on the conversation is how he has grabbed and improved the culture in the club

Things like signing players consistently who have improved the squad and the best British manager since Fergie are really doing Howe with faint praise. They are such low bars. That's not a knock on Eddie, it's a knock on what he's being compared against.

Nothing is rising here anymore

Yeah I'll be all over the drill top if it's a true remake.

We should go for hosting the Europa or Conf League final on SJP as it is now.

Used to be soccer02 etc and had no issued with them in the past. Just dropped £100 on kits there yesterday for the kids so hopefully OK. Have to say, the Tenerife originals I picked up over the summer were spot on, leaving more suitcase space next year

I don't see Barnes being a priority either way, if we get a decent offer happy to take the money and reinvest, if we don't then I've no issues at all with him as the 2nd option at LW. Big Joe is the interesting one, the only place we'll get the right money for him is Saudi but that has UEFA implications and he is also one of a core of players who I think get to decide on their next move. We're fortunate that next summer isn't as critical for PSR thanks to Isak so I would see the majority of the squad kept together. Likely need to focus on a GK, full back, RW. CM needs looking at but we'll need to see how Miley progresses this year as to what profile is needed
