Downie: "He can play a number of positions, too. Ordinarily, he's played off the left-hand side in a 4-3-3, but he's also been used a lot through the middle, to devastating effect at times." Fucking when I'm liking this deal more and more. Gordon's been stat-padding with pens and a hundred goals against Qarabag, and every "analyst" out there is scrambling to make sense of this deal. Yes, on his day he's a great player, but damn, it feels like we're conning the footballing world.

It’s not like we suddenly fall apart in the 75th minute. We’ve played like dogshit for over a year, bar a couple of games.

We just never, ever got started. Lost confidence in december. Had no idea where we would be able to pick up points.

First manager we had with a tactical plan since SBR. Couldn’t believe my eyes, some of the goals we scored. Simple, drilled moves, squaring it and passing into the net. The type of goals other teams scored, but never us. A whole bunch of incredibly professional 1-0 wins and I always loved them. Going from him to Bruce was the biggest gut punch I have had as a supporter (and I even rooted against us during the final Pardew years). When he left, I left. Going from that to Steve fucking Bruce was too much to bear.

Rafa wins the tactical game, but Hughton's team had more fight. Newcastle 09/10 2-1 Newcastle 16/17

This game (so far) almost has me excited for next season.

Shite. Better win the league now to make up for it.

Ah, right. I'm not in the UK so thought it was some new woke shit

3pm game on a Monday? Weird.

When he connects with one of the million crosses we put in the box, I'll believe in him as a striker.

Been like that for years. Even when we had "the best midfield in the league" with Tonali, Bruno and Jow, a needle pass like that took them all out, easy peasy.

lol
