Brighton & Hove Albion 0-0 Newcastle United (13/08/2022)
Gallowgate Toon replied to BlueStar's topic in Football
Easy to forget this is the second game of the season, we're not going to be fully up-to-speed yet. We definitely look a bit energy-less in the middle. Very odd. -
Benfica fans don't seem very happy at the prospect of him leaving. I'm in.
-
This may be Lyon trying to start a bidding war, like; Aulas is usually a canny operator. But then he also let Bruno go for not much more.
-
That is an absolutely incredible price, if true. Absolutely well worth the risk rather than Maddison for that.
-
I'd 100% take Gallagher. His form fell off for the last third of the season but he's only 22. Obvious talent and a very logical deal for us (even if it's a loan) now that we're another CM down.

Newcastle United 2-0 Nottingham Forest (06/08/2022)
Gallowgate Toon replied to loki679's topic in Football
Maybe it's just because he's making points that we now disagree with but feels like his general tone has shifted a bit towards being a bit more antagonistic over the summer. Ultimately, he writes for the Daily Mail... -

Miggy got some stick on Saturday but, on reflection, I actually thought he provided a fair final ball on a few occasions (not all on his left foot either, I think they've been working on that a bit). It's curious that Bruno's chemistry is so good in terms of picking out Miggy's runs but there's been very little evidence of any kind of similar relationship with ASM. Feels like Maxi only ever makes dashes behind the backline when we're on the counter with loads of space. -
Brighton vs. Newcastle United: 13/08/22 @ 3PM (No UK TV)
Gallowgate Toon replied to 54's topic in Football
This'll be a good match, they're very well organised & are tactically flexible. I'd take a draw. A bit crackers that we won the game in March with no Bruno starting and a front 3 of Wood, Murphy & Fraser. I thought their midfield was really good when we played them but we've gone up a gear since then so it'll be a test of our progression. I think Howe will revert our style back here to more counter-based. Head says 1-1, heart says 2-1 with goals from Wilson & Miggy. -

It's also the first game of the season and there's some inevitable lack of sharpness. -
Sven Botman: could return vs Ipswich (Tindall)
Gallowgate Toon replied to The Prophet's topic in Football
Also, Sven is huge. We seem to be collecting a few monsters. Pope looks like a physical freak too. -
Love the Mig and think this is going to be his best season for us by far, but I was thinking today that Werner on loan is potentially an excellent fit for the right hand forward role.

Sven Botman: could return vs Ipswich (Tindall)
Gallowgate Toon replied to The Prophet's topic in Football
As much as I like Burn, he has his moments when up against the better sides. Only a matter of time before he rushes in and makes a mistake that leads to a goal. Once that happens, Big Sven is in the mixa. -
He's got the potential to be an England player, tbh. So many potential elements to his game that just need refining.
-
Some really nice passing today on top of his usual ragdolling.
-
He's a very underrated footballer. I always thought he was more of a poacher. Tough conditions for him today playing against 3 CBs and with a very congested box. Class came out on top in the end.

Fucking class performance. Loved that they played Nina Simone as well, tbh - had actual goosebumps. -
Miguel Almirón (now playing for Atlanta United)
Gallowgate Toon replied to Deuce's topic in Football
Should've had a good assist today, tbh. Thought he was very decent indeed. -

Midfield battle will be tasty. Howay, Bruno! -

Bit of Knopfler on while making the morning brew -
Just remembered that I get to watch this lad play football tomorrow. What a footballer

James Maddison (now playing for Tottenham Hotspur)
Gallowgate Toon replied to The Prophet's topic in Football
Yup. Apparently suffered a knee injury on the same knee that kept him out for a while a couple of seasons back. -

Barnes out for a bit as well. Feels like it could be a bit of a perfect storm of crap for Leicester this season. Going to be interesting to see how Vardy fares now he's knocking on a bit too. -
Sounds like Eddie could be a Jesmond lad as he said he goes walking on the town moor every morning (unless I misheard). Disappointing, if so, thought he'd be around the coast.
-
Amazing news and proper good tactical timing of the announcement.

Elliot Anderson (now playing for Nottingham Forest)
Gallowgate Toon replied to joeyt's topic in Football
Can't wait to see how he does, tbh. I think he's going to be a nice surprise this year - he won't be consistently smashing it or owt but will provide good moments and build a platform for the next couple of years.
