Gordon's been decent. Goal! Ashby! Lovely ball from Burn to Isak.

Son of Soapy. One for the teenagers there ..

As a side note, how much better is the commentary using the radio guys rather than the usual fuckin Hinchcliffe et al?

Tonali was caught late there, but just got straight up, I like that in a midfielder.

Was just about to post this. Tonali has been everywhere, he'll release Bruno up to cause fuckin havoc

Come on! Some nice stuff in that move!

To make them easier to spot and avoid.

The Daily Mirror - as bad as the sun these days.

They had disgusting songs about Bobby Robson as well. Of course, when he died, they lined up in tribute to prove their classiness.

Would make sense. Got to be easier to settle in in a nice house in Darras Hall, rather than living out of a suitcase in a hotel.

...but you're not welcome, so fuck off back over the hill.

Fink, who compiled this is an old acquaintance of mine, saw him at many games years back. Good to see what I've always suspected laid out in black and white - we have pretty much always had the higher average attendances, even when we were shite. Also nice to see the reference to our World record average attendances, which doesn't ever get mentioned - the first club in the world to have averages of 30,000 and then 50,000 (and that was in the second division)!

I think they'll look at every conceivable option to remain at SJP, but will ultimately decide to move into Leazes Park. I think what may make the owners change their minds about moving, will be the limited scope to add significant amounts of new corporate facilities if we stay. I'd be surprised if they could increase the overall capacity by more than five thousand or so, if the hospitality stuff is as important to them as I think it will be. I'd be in favour of either option, but a move anywhere else is out of the question, indeed I've never heard anyone mention they'd be in favour of that. Don't know why it comes up so often from those who are adamantly against moving, to be honest

Not watching, but GTFI Big Joe!!!

I thought that was pretty decent tbf. No-one said anything particularly cringy (maybe the "every one works hard all week and then goes to the match" bit was a bit eek), but it summed up a lot of my thoughts about Newcastle as a City and the Club as a passion. Pity they didn't mention the Edwardian era, it IS our most successful period, even though the FA Cup was more important in those days, but that's a minor quibble.

Pleased for Wilson, but my word, that's never a penalty.

Looks a star in the making, terrific technique with both feet on that passing drill.

This paragraph is absolutely spot-on.

If I could haul my Marshall JCM800 combo (which weighed a ton), over the road and up about six flights of stairs to play gigs at the Cooperage, then Springsteen can hump a few boxes into St James'.

No Boldon on there either

My first European match. Was in the East Stand paddock, can remember Johnny Rep's 30 yard goal as if it was yesterday.

Disappointed he didn't do a chicken dance tbf

I hope you get beat in the first round, you tossa. Safety wink.

Is the ref playing next goal the winner? Edit. Apparently not. Cunt.

After that bit of commentary, I really, really hope Fiorentina score in injury time.
