  1. Playing it on Silk on the firestick
  2. Wonder if Muñoz gets a run out in the 2nd half
  3. Think we've played decent, pressed well, defended well but the passing and decision making has been suspect. Drop in quality on the ball is evident.
  4. Murphy playing well today, good shot, just wide
  5. That's it for goals for wood this calendar year now
  6. Brilliant, sound but no picture now
  7. It's just died for me now, looping on the foul on Miggy
  8. Have they tried turning it off and on again?
  9. We've got the Benny Hill filter on clearly
  10. Still running the NUFC website on whatever 2 bit dial-up company Ashley bought, probably on a 20 year contract
  11. Interested to see Miggy in the 10 role based off his current form, other than ghat struggling to see any positives other than probably a solid defensive display.
  12. Miggy in at no.10 with Fraser and Murphy wide is it?
  13. Being clear from relegation is literally mid to upper mid table, anyone from 12th down is usually only 1 or 2 losses from being dragged into it so I stand by what I said. Bruce was a failure and Howe proved that and with the additional purchases already made we should be comfortably upper mid table, when we get at least a RW and a striker, which we will, we'll be pushing 8th up. At this point upper mid is already a huge improvement on previous seasons and a fight for a European place would be a bonus.
  14. We were in relegation trouble for most of the season, it was only the last couple of months that saw us safe. That being said we haven't even started this season yet so who's to say where this team could end up with a continuation of the form Howe had us in? An improvement is 12th - 8th and I think Howe could get us there now.
  15. Said the same a few pages back, amazing how many short memories we have, just a season without looking over our shoulders and scrambling for that "magical" 40 point mark will be a huge improvement on most of the last 14 years.
  16. I don't think they'll exit the window without, at least, a striker and RW, it is disappointing that we haven't secured those 2 in time to start the new season, as I'm sure it's disappointing to the club. No reason to panic just yet, teams are settling on their squads for the season ahead and will be more clear of who they're happy to leave and it only takes 1 move to start a domino effect of transfers. Players will come available and prices will drop as we hit the vinegar strokes of the window.
  17. I wouldn't say I hated McClaren like, clearly out of his depth and got us relegated with a decent squad, but he wasn't despicable, doesn't deserve to be on that list with the likes of what we've had. 1. Bruce 2. Pardew 3. Souness Also I would put Gullit in the top 10 for his time here, but he has redeemed himself since.
  18. You can't not love Miggy, great to see this turn around in form and that Cheshire cat like grin back on his face. Long may it continue, I hope there's more to come from him yet.
  19. It'll just be great to have a season where we're not looking over our shoulders desperate to get to the 40 point mark. Anything more than that after the last 14 years is a bonus. People forget far too quickly.
  20. https://m.livesoccertv.com/match/4351673/benfica-vs-newcastle-united/ Here's a list of all the channels showing the game, none from the UK unfortunately but plenty of other countries showing it for those not here.

    I'll be surprised if they don't flirt with relegation for most of the season, a success for them should be staying up and looking to build but they won't accept that, they want straight back in the PL and the manager will get pelters as soon as its evident they won't be doing that.
