Must be nice to live in such a simple world where "see problem, enact solution" without having to consider any knock-on effects or interdependencies is an option. I can understand why you're so frustrated when you think football management is so basic, must be infuriating to see anything go against us when it's all so obvious.

People's need to twist an absolute classic of a comeback into the most negative view of it is wild like. Football is meant to be enjoyable, especially when you win it like that Not even to mention the fact that Howe acknowledged it wasn't the right call in hindsight and adjusted accordingly. But of course the narrative among some is that he doesn't learn, so maybe we imagined that

One of my favourite moments looking back was when Gordon got his second yellow and the whole stadium basically said fuck you to the ref and gave him a standing ovation off.
-
I thought he did well to muscle him off the ball personally, didn't think it was a foul. Kudus went down easily but he had been all game
-
Yep, absolute screamer, was behind the goal. Gutted he never made it after that
-
Third! Arsenal in 2004 (0-1) and Wigan in 2012 (3-0). So 2-1 wins to losses so far
-
Aw thanks lads have had a cracking day, the match obviously being absolutely immense to see live, but also exploring the city. Managed to check out some of the exhibitions at the Baltic this afternoon, see the famous bridges and just wander about what's a really pretty city. Atmosphere has been great, walking down the hill away from the stadium with the crowd after the game was brilliant, was grinning ear to ear, that'll stay with me for a long time
-
The old boy next to me (who I ended up hugging in the chaos after Barnes goal) was telling me about the Dutch lads who'd spent £2000 all in to get here. Class worth it eh
-
It wasn't as bad a performance at 3-1 as some are making out, It was flat, but Bruno hit the bar at 1-1 so it's not like we got blown away. Conceding 2 sloppy goals either side of half time was a frustration, but immensely proud of the players for not wilting and giving up. I love this team and I love Eddie Howe. Fucking get in
-
Responding to their "stand up if you're 3-1 up" earlier with the equivalent at 4-3 was some fucking catharsis man
-
70 minutes gone and I was thinking I'd have to explain to the forum why we've gotten hammered at home the one time I see a game. Assume now you're all chipping in to get me and @Pata a season ticket? Honestly what a fucking game. Loved that. Don't think I've ever shouted so loud or cheered like a fucking lunatic as when Barnes scored
-
Wilson has a bit in the programme where he says "don't want to give too much away" and about how they hate seeing him on the teamsheet. Wouldn't be surprised to see him on the bench
-
Man I should've come up again sooner than this, forgot how class it is walking around with fans buzzing before a game
-
Flown in from Bristol and currently on the metro into the city centre for this. Nice seeing so many toon tops at departures, I normally feel like the only fan around for miles Not quite a commute from Bermuda I'll admit
-
I mean, that's a fairly disingenuous reading of it. From what I read, his teammate saw him betting, asked what the site was and Sandro told him. Hardly fucking predator behaviour
-
I was quite vocal in defending him and thinking he'll come back from this fired up to pay us back for the support - nothing has changed there for me. If it comes out he's continued to bet after the investigation then that will be massively disappointing, but there's no evidence that that's happened so as far as I'm concerned he still should get the full backing of the fans. Nothing has changed since he was clapped off in his last match.
-
That's not what this is at all? This is a charge for bets made since he joined us but before the ban from the Italian FA. There's no indication either way if he's continued to bet after that. As others have said, any additional ban and not "time served" is ridiculous, so it's probably exactly what our shit FA will do.
-
Fair enough tbh. He's unfortunate not to have had many chances here but he's played his role in the squad without any fuss, can't see why anyone would wish him anything but well in his next move.
-
I can completely understand it mind, in a position so stacked he's got to be thinking the number of caps he gets will be fairly limited, be gutting to think you scored a goal for your country, it get ruled out, and then you never get one
-
Bowen making all the wrong decisions. That offside goal has wrecked his head, going for goal all the time out of desperation to get back what was taken from him.
-
That Lukaku pass was incredible
