46.

 

27 of them came from Aguero.

 

Triple captained first round? Damn.

Straight up fucksville. The only time to use triple captain is during a double gameweek. Fair enough, it did cross my mind that Aguero might put 5 or 6 past the spackems.

Is it a coincidence that the two huddersfield goals were set up from Janmaats position? Spurs goal in the last game of the season was scored from his position? We kept CS at prem level with Anita there, him & keeper are the only change. Now we're conceding 3 in 2 to fulham & Huddersfield?

It's really simple. We should just switch the two! Push Janmaat up to RW and pull Anita back to RB, and bob's your uncle innit.

'Truth' that's proven to be wrong is more commonly known as false/horse s*** btw. Calling your daft opinion the truth doesn't make it so, nor does adding 'end of' at the end, just to save me posting that later on.

 

You think Rafa got us relegated, I'm sure you can understand why everyone thinks you're risible.

 

For me he had a "chance " of saving us, as no doubt did you,;we in truth thought he would.

 

I admit the mind set of the club seems to have changed with his introduction but ultimately results will like every manager around these days decide if he is successful.

 

Rafa seems to be beyond any dissent..why?

Just out of curiosity, where were you when pardew was driving the club into the ground with his woeful brand of football and horrendous results? Did you turn on him 12 games in?

Fully prepared to be shot down on this one - but have we just decided to write off a series of players too early?  Take Riviere for example - I fully appreciate that the bloke looked massively out of his depth in the Premier League, but in many ways he seems to fit the bill for what we need in a striker (or at least a back up striker).  He's quite quick and mobile, he's got decent enough strength and presence and despite being a very different league has scored the odd goal in Ligue 1.

 

I'd say similar for Saivet whilst fully acknowledging the fact that being a defensive midfielder in Ligue 1 is a very different proposition to the Championship, but we didn't even give the bloke a chance.  He might, just might, have the mobility to add something to our central midfield.  It's not exactly a high hurdle currently.

Agree with all this. Unless they are asking for moves away, they should be given chances. It's absolutely insane that we just buy and sell players without ever really giving them a chance. Especially when they can't possibly be doing worse than those who started ahead of them.

Who the fuck is he shushing? There's about 5 people there

53 with Azpi and Ayew to play.

Ooo look at you. In LONDON. Getting a FLIGHT. Pathetic.

 

Hahah give me a break I travelled from Australia for this. 

Not quite Australia, but I traveled from Cyprus to Newcastle for my first ever game in August 2009. It was our first home match of the Championship season at home to Reading. Shola scored a hattrick for 3-0. Best of luck mate, and remember to savour the moment you walk up through the tunnel and see the green for the first time. It's a totally different experience as an adult compared to seeing your first pitch as a kid.

Surprise surprise

 

Motherfucker just won't quit

My biggest issue with Reading is that whenever I'm reading Reading I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be reading it like Reading or reading. Reading Reading shouldn't be that difficult.

It's the look of constant confusion and fear on his ugly pasty cowardly face that solidifies my sweat beads and has fire ants crawling all over my glistening mediterranean skin.

Some are definitely forgetting how much more competent we were at home last year. I think we'll win this game comfortably and then everyone can calm down, starting right here...

 

If Rafa picks either Colback, Anita or Dummett for this one, I think it will be time for a reappraisal of his so called world class manager status. To a lesser extent Hanley and Perez should be no where near the starting line up either. He's been here long enough now to know better and he does have other options after buying 8 new players.

"reappraisal"

That first handball and refusal to award a penalty gets funnier every time I watch it. Blatant corruption by the refereeing team. There is literally no other explanation for it.

Football is getting a bit like

Watched the second half.  Hatem put a massive shift in pressing the opposition defence.

tbf he rarely done that when here.

 

Apart from the odd occasion he was a complete waste.

 

f*** off and watch netball man.

 

Are you saying he gave EVERYTHING to NUFC?

 

He looked hopelessly unfit for long periods (broken leg aside obviously) I don't doubt there is talent there but his application was terrible.

 

his attitude was spot on right up until the point pardew decided to make him the scapegoat for his own failures, he then appeared to just think "f*** it"

 

not an ideal response from him but he was clearly being ground down and forced out of the club

Pretty much this. The "feud" that every shit manager like al pards needs to justify their own failings.

She's a massive Man United fan like. Glorious.

She's only about 5'6" tbf

Another Erudite moment

Can't get over this 'Wake up call' bollocks from JL and Rafa tbqh.

 

Complete football cliche s****.

 

A f***ing wake up call? It's the first game in a league where half the f***ing team have played before, some of them have played more at that level than any other.

 

A 'wake up call' might be Hanley or someone getting skinned in the premiership. A wake up call might be when the standard is such a shock.

 

Call it what it was, Rafa got it wrong, the application was wrong and the set pieces were a complete joke.

 

f***ing Wake up call.

 

What are they waking up to?

 

Hanley, Lascelles, Colback, Hayden, Gayle, Ritchie have played that level of football before FFS.

I suppose they're waking up to the mistakes you have pointed out?

"He'll be fine at this level" As if people don't have eyes. How the fuck is he a professional athlete even? There isn't a single redeeming feature about his play apart from being supposedly a Geordie.

Hate him and want him sold before Sissoko or Tiote or Gouffran etc..

First Jesus signs, now Mohamed. always helpful.

 

Typical Ashley, always thinking of the prophets....

Expect nothing less from this chap. Hat doffed sir

Vile club. Such a shame Conte's gone there.
