Dummett needs to be considered as a centre back first and only as a backup LB option.

There he is! Seat 3F!

I think McClean is a horrid little cunt FYI, but he can do what he wants. Nobody should feel they "have to" do anything, as long as it's not unlawful by not complying.

It's his choice whether or not to wear a poppy. Your post is strikingly similar to a Britain First style "IT'S A DISGRACE, LIKE AND SHARE IF YOU AGREE" Facebook thing that all the pikeys drool over.

I bet all those people who were booting off at the lack of sound during the Atlas game have pressed the mute button by now

Just got in from work and thanks to the three Red Bulls I had tonight, it looks like I'll be watching this shitfest.

I thought it was fairly common knowledge that a pre-season programme starts with "who's the fittest" and gradually morphs into the starting team for the opening weekend as every friendly passes?

Fucking right we turned him down too, he's appalling. We all remember the absolute roasting that our fave erratic forward Oba regularly gave him, and that was about five or six years ago.

Can't remember who said it, but someone on here basically said he's been doing shuttle runs down a wing for about two seasons now and that's how best I can describe what he does. Except rather than an athlete, he looks like Santiago when that little cunt tramples on his inhaler in the dressing room. Shite.

This is what we want to see from our Chief Sports Writer - bit of Mackem baiting when it's quiet, rather than badly spelled articles about what 5 things we learned from the u18s game.

Give it 15 years and he'll be like the mad old cricket coach from the Mitchell and Webb sketch. "I used to coach the Newcastle United team, the year they almost won the European Cricket Cup!"

Knew I didn't imagine that. halcyon days.

Probably end up being one of the better bits of business they do this summer like. How good, time will tell.

Hopefully McClaren gives him a chance in pre-season, realises he's shite, and hardly plays him. That's what I'm hoping his inclusion is for, just to "have a look".

Maybe we need to get Charnley to go and dance with Chris Iwelumo, to make him jealous.

The 'big cool drink' thing. So in the next James Bond film, rather than a martini he's going to order a strawberry woo woo with a parasol, giant piece of fresh strawberry and sparkler, amirite?

He knows about as much about our fanbase, and the player, as Ronald McFuckingDonald. Waste of some good quotation marks.

The first half an hour of this match an actually half decent side would have frigging raped us.

Taylor is an absolute expert at nailing his colours to every single frigging manager's mast and then subtly dissing the previous one. He's a cunt, and shit, and I hate him.

What the fuck was that corner :lol: :lol:

Aye. The layoff was shite.

I'm not sure what you are all seeing, yes he's had a few good touches, but he's also given the ball away a lot too. He's pretty slow in movement. Having said all that, this is no game to judge him on, the opposition is not world class and he like the rest of the squad are in the early stages of their fitness program. t's nice to see him get some game time and their has been signs of class their for sure, just not the scintillating performance you lot are making out from him. I never said he was having a scintillating game. He's been the pick of the bunch, although that's not really saying much after that utter shower. The guy's movement, ball retention and awareness is absolutely light years ahead of any of the other shuffling divvies we have in the midfield, and I think that's really not too difficult to spot.

De Jong will be a star in the Premier League if he can stay fit, no question.

That Atlas keeper looks absolutely dump. First time the ball's gone anywhere near him that

Sissoko's passing and ball retention makes me want to cry, it's fucking atrocious.
