Lovely. Chelsea are still slight favourites with so long to go though. Palmer guarantees at least one goal or assist.

0-1.

They essentially have two full strength 11's, plus a few extras, so doubt it'll make a great difference tbh.

fuck off man

Wow. That's much worse than I thought.

If we're sitting around 10-12th in Jan due to just being shit (rather than injuries or just clear bad luck), owners need to seriously consider replacing.

This season is looking a write off. Hopefully we'll finally plug those jarring gaps by next September and able to challenge top 6.

When is the international break he will be back after?

We're gonna get fucking battered. Hope Gordon isn't the start of a new injury curse.

Not a good weekend for us, especially with a likely loss tomorrow. Could be bottom half heading into the Xmas period. And Villa again doing what we couldn't do last season. Gotta hand it to them.

Forrest and their shit hot striker and winger combination could be a threat to us finishing top 8.

Hopefully we'll get a multimillion pound sleeve sponsor before Xmas so we can afford to buy him back.

Does anyone ever click on a Chronic article headline that contains the worth 'truth', 'reveal' or 'admission'... or in fact any Chronic Newcastle page at all? They have a hat-trick of clickbait key words in there today So pathetic.

They'll probably play an entirely different 11 this weekend, but one that's still worth £600 million.

Feels like we're falling further behind again rather than catching up.

Stings a little that Villa are achieving what we hoped to achieve - and without the shady ownership. Think they're capable of returning to Europe next season no problem.

Liverpool winning the title would be proper So c'mon Chelsea today.

Chelsea will demonstrate they're back at the top and we've regressed. Comfortable 3-0.

Hoping much of what we're seeing is just a few key players dropping out of form but unfortunately at the same time. If they've individually come to conclusion we're going nowhere (especially after a disastrous summer) as a club, then that rot will be very difficult to stop.

Ban this gloating fucker please Villa are looking miles ahead of us. Hope they and Brighton manage to disrupt the usual suspects again. We certainly won't be.

Wish Brighton well in chasing Europe. Our squad looks miles of top 6. Not sure we'll actually get there unless FFP/PSR is scrapped and PIF go balls deep.

This season's gonna be painful

Should be 0-2

I had us about 8th. If it's bottom half though, Howe is in trouble.

Surely Osula can't be as bad as Isak. Get him on.
