Aye he's got Lascelles on toast. Getting the ball forward for them every single time.

Ultimately incredibly routine for Man City. We've not been that bad, we're just incredibly flawed these days. It's not for the want of trying but we're so reliant on good fortune and hoping our very best players do something special.

Slagging Howe off for playing Botman. Get Dummett in.

It wasn't the easiest take and he got a decent connection in it, keeper read it well.

Huge chance squandered. Hate life.

Once and I'm cursing our luck. Twice, nah. Fucking close him down better.

Their patience is incredible to watch according to Murphy.

Schar booked for fuck all so that's him unable to push high.

Ergh. Stay in it, lads.

Ah fuck off man.

Started well, aggressive.

Back five out of possession

Here we go

ET and pens

So that's Pope, Trippier, Livramento, Joelinton, Tonali, Barnes and Wilson all unavailable. That's a season-definingly high number of absentees, yet still above par in the context of this season. Injury excuse wearing thin indeed!

That's been the case from the word go.

None of those competitions are equivalents of one another (unless you can point me to Maidstone United's Champions League opposite number...?) But in any case, the Papa Johns Cup is comprised of all teams from the third tier, fourth tier and Under-21 divisions. Participation is guaranteed. The Conference League is merit-based and comprised of domestic cup winners and First Division high finishers (e.g. Villa, Frankfurt, Fiorentina, etc).

It's difficult to take it as anything other than unnecessary angst about Newcastle given you were calling us a pub team this morning. Anyway, unreal tie at Wolves. Incredible opportunity for us if we get through.

Omg!!!

Howay man, whether you engage or not it's pretty tedious to read - the unnecessary, out of context (and unjust) negativity about NUFC. Save it for the Newcastle threads at least.

Worrah game

Turnaround complete

What's that got to do with anything? Sake man.

Thanks for posting, @Irish Magpie. Really good read, that.
