fuuuck I thought that was in

Christ. Joelinton staying on? Howe man wtf

Joelinton off for Ramsey. He has nothing left in his legs.

gordon nearly ripping his shorts off

Schar with 20% more grey hairs since his last appearance. I like.

If this ref is hit by lightning during the game he'll feel the shock in his body after he wakes up tomorrow.

We've had three dangerous passes in our own half straight to Fulham players that created some iffy moments. Other than that we've been in full control but not looking very dangerous in attack ourselves.

Besides one pass from Miley, one pass from Woltemade and one pass from Botman I feel we've been very good.

Godsend from Murphy. Excellent timing just as we were losing a bit control and started to become a bit sloppy in the passing.

Felt like old news to me too. I'm still desperate for him to get an improved contract to keep him happy though. As we've seen, the length of the contract means fuck all these days.

The club has very limited means to do anything but accept him playing as long as he is medically cleared to play, not be confused with physically fit to play the number of games/minutes his NT would like him to play. He can say he is not in condition to play as much as his NT wants him to play, and they can't force him so there is an expectation that he is mature enough to take care of himself when he is away on international duty. Be curious to know what you thought about Owen if you wouldn't mind the hypothetical scenario playing out. I do have some animosity towards Wissa. One of the few positives about getting rid of Isak was that such a personality was gone, and we've basically just swapped him for another. Tonali got his head down, worked on his game and and came back a better player, extended his contract for the season he lost due to bets placed before he became a Newcastle player. Maybe Wissa can turn me around in time by showing loyalty to the club and fans, and repaying us with incredible performances the same way Tonali did despite me not feeling it at the moment.

If you don't want to click due to the ick of twitter shit, here's a different clip of Nick the flick.

Of course, but it's as much his responsibility to manage his workload as the coaching and medical staff at NT and club. Hypothetical scenario: Say he ends up needing more time to get fit to play, and starts getting minutes here in December. Not full games, but 20-30 minutes a couple of games in a row. Then leaves for afcon 21st and plays every minute of every game despite his body not being ready for that match load. That results in him getting injured for another month. Is that acceptable to you, considering the start he's had here? I don't find him a particularly exciting player, but he was effective at Brentford so obviously I hope he is as effective here. That being said, feeling joy on his behalf and supporting him in the way I do Sandro, Bruno, Murphy, Burn etc will be not be possible. It'll be more like a "that's what you're paid to do" type of feeling while being happy for the team, and I won't feel any sadness in seeing him be moved on the way I would those previously mentioned and others either.

Is it only me that feels extremely transactional towards him due to his antics at Brentford? Going to tolerate him if he delivers the goods, and probably end up disliking him if he continues to prioritize NT over us and not hit the ground running when he is back. Best case scenario we ship him out to Saudi in two years time for a decent fee after he's contributed to us winning another cup and qualifying us for CL, and we replace him with someone better and more likeable.

All action vintage Gordon performance today which was great to see. I don't expect this every game, but with his form the last year or so it's important that we see this kind of performance more regularly going forward. Doesn't help us much if its a year until next time.

Cut off his legs and attach two more arms on this brilliantly frustrating donkey.

time to go to bed and vigorously hit F5 until the highlights are up on youtube. Fantastic night of champions league football!

Think they've done quite well to exploit Burn at LB. More so than any other team has while he's been playing there this season.

godamnit KIERAN just shoot

Fantastic finish by Gordon that. Didn't look intentional on first viewing.

Murphys hammy gone Fake news. He ran it off.

Yup. Comfortably the best team on the field, but as for the season so far we're not able to take advantage of it.

Thought it was extremely poor of Botman. He was closest to Welbeck and for some reason moved away from him for a split second as the pass was played. He has to have been aware of where Welbeck was.

Draw with another abysmal performance from Isak is the ideal conclusion of this game.

Took 9 minutes 50 seconds for Isak to have his first (and only) touch of the ball. VVD elbowed his own player in the head, didn't bother to run back as Man Utd was countering which led to their goal. Kerkez botched a throw in. Great game so far.
