Yep, he was basically playing on one leg for all of extra time. We tried to hide him by just putting him in at right sided centre back between Schär and Murphy and it ended up costing us with him not getting out for the goal. Hard to blame him too much for it though, he was done by that point

Is there extra time in this or would it be straight to pelanties? Would miss my last train home if there's extra time

I think he's quick over the first 5-10 yards, he often bursts away from players with the ball. It's just the longer distance recovery runs where he looks pretty slow

He seems a great lad, attitude looks good and he's clearly popular with the other players given the celebrations for his goal. Hopefully he can get some more minutes and pop up with a few goals between now and the end of the season

Yep, I got a medium from Fenwick's on Friday afternoon and they had quite a few medium and large still available

The fucker is 24 but he plays with the energy of an 18 year old, the composure and positional sense of a 35 year old who's won it all, and the stamina of a marathon runner. And he's technically excellent too. He's fucking incredible

Didn't realise there was a ticket forum, thanks

It's a sellout?! Jesus, thought this would be the one game I could take my son to (for his first game). Thanks for the reply

I might be being very thick here, but I want to get tickets for this for me and my son, yet I can't find tickets details for this match anywhere on the club website. Can anyone help me out (I'm not a member, but presuming these will go to/are already on general sale?)

Either that or there's been an overreaction on the betting markets to the rumours. Hopefully it's the former

The price for a Newcastle win on the Betfair Exchange has moved from 2.30 at the start of the day to 1.89 currently. We weren't much shorter on Betfair to beat Ipswich away (think we were around 1.80), which seems a bit mad

Is this being shown on any TV channels or is it just on the club website?

Great, thanks. I thought that might be the case, it often is with "Pro" versions of shirts

Does anyone know what the fit is like on the "Pro" version of the kits sold on the club website? Ie are they really tight and I need to order a size up, or are they just normal sizes? The size guide on the webpage is just a generic castore one and I don't trust it

He's one of my best mates and actually a Sunderland fan
