Heron

Been away for Christmas and Saturday is going to be a catch-up day with the lads. All are Toon daft and we're all saying we're going out with no hope that we'll win and we're expecting a hiding. How shit it is to support these cunts at the moment...

If that's the case then we've had a lack of effort for all of your reign, Steve.

Good on him

How many?

There's no harm in people doing it but rather than applause they should just make a conscious effort to get behind the team then.

He's the unsung zero

No-one decent will be put in charge as a replacement because no one decent would work with the cunt at the top.

Those passing stats don't give the full picture really though. It's easy to make 40 ten yard passes a game and keep your accuracy up. Elliotts distribution is better and actually as of late he has been a breath of fresh air. He's one of the few decent things to come out of this season so far.

Where are they in the thread though I wanted closer inspection

Aye - can't see this being easy at all. They will see today as a chance to get a win. It's not going to be as easy as some are making out, but I do think if Villa come at us we'll win. I suspect a 1 or 2 - 0 with them made to rue missed opportunities. They really are desperate...

So...time to place the hopeful, extravagant bets that nearly always fail...

I have a funny feeling Villa might just come at us tbh. They're desperate for results already and they'll see this as a winnable fixture compared to most. I certainly don't think they'll be here to get a point.

Devastated. This thread preview had boobs on Tapatalk. Where are they?

This is mine actually, if I'm thinking sensibly with a balanced team. Always had a soft spot for Nolan and he'd be my captain in that team. The Spanish and French wings look f***ing great there as well. I almost agree with this but would have Perez on the right and Jonas on the left. Simply from a versatility perspective that your defensive two in the middle would become a defensive 3 and for me Jonas and Jose were probably our strongest left flank combo since Robert and Bernard, albeit in different sides with different tactics. Wijnaldum for Nolan would be great too. Cabaye threading balls through would be devastating. Elliott, Janmaat, Dummett (cb), HBA, Nolan, Mitrovic, Cisse as subs McClaren would have to be the gaffer

Protective amnesia. Your brain has blocked out the Pardew / Carver season to preserve your sanity.

Was a good move from Klopp to get the team doing that imo. If players are seen to be thanking the fans in their tough games / results when the players have struggled then the fans will in turn thank the team for their good performances (when they happen) by getting behind them. They're also more likely to get behind them in the hard times as they know they're appreciated. So long as they don't fall on too hard times it's a good move. As for the not shaking hands and shit. He's a tool for that.

"You're not laughing anymore" was gonna be my banner idea but it's nowt too witty or catchy. "Claret and who?" was good. Something like "Remember 2009?" would be good like accompanied with lots of verbals. Ast gone Villa

Where do you draw the line for saying he has been consistent? He's been decent for like most his games since being back in the side. What's what like 6 games?

That curry shop. Delhi Alley. What a fucking twat. Was dangerous what he did on Mbemba and Mitro sussed it. Loved seeing Mitro flatten the little prick.

Definitely want a ticket for this away game. Will have my banner at the ready.

Nowt wrong with the challenge on Alli for me like. Was totally necessary. Think it shook him up nicely.

Tino. What a top lad.

Would love us to score a record breaking amount passed those twats next week.
