Super Duper Branko Strupar

Made De Bruyne Captain and Vardy Vice

Vardy for Aguero and De Bruyne for B Silva. Vardy better get another.

12 points from Sheff Utd players. Needed those.

Knew that lad was going to score when he came on. Was that kind of game.

Attacking options on the bench are dire.

I'm paying very little attention to the PL as a whole. My fantasy team is suffering.

When the missus says she's stopping at her parents tonight.

Yep. Mint result, imo.

Great article.

Chris Wilder is your quintessential shit small time Yorkshire football club manager.

Why do keepers dive left when Salah does that massive curved run up for a penalty? It's so blatant.

Brick. The. Cunt.

Said all he could in the time he had, tbf.

Mmmmm, teared rectum.

Hope we lose.

Never looked like he was going to score that.

Was up home at the weekend and speaking to my brother. He'd been a kinda Ashley apologist before, a few years ago, but that had changed and he'd become more critical. But now he seems to be back. "Having Benitez has increased everybody's expectations. If we hadn't had Benitez before, no one would be complaining about Bruce now". "He went to China for money" etc etc etc. All I'm trying to do is lay out facts as to why Benitez had this clubs and it's fans interests at heart and he was only wanting to be a manager in practice and not just in name. "I just want to support Newcastle United" he said. "So do I!" was my response. What can you say to that, though. I mean I get it, his viewpoint, but not wanting to be harsh, he doesn't get mine. Or want to. He was mocking toward my stance that I was refusing to pay attention or be involved. Didn't want to watch the match. Where as him, he wants to watch the fucking match. He wants us to win. And for him that means continuing to support them. It's almost like Brexit, man. "If I made so much money from my shops and brands I wouldn't care much about Newcastle either" was one of the more strange defences of Ashley. "We've just spent x amount". 'Id bet you'd want to join the sad losers marching from Sports Direct to the Stadium boycotting." ...I could go on. I can't remember them all but you could offer suggestions based on the things you've heard before and you'd not be far off what he gave verbatim. Sad, man. He's as big a fan as I am. After all these years you'd think it would be easy for people to see by now. You'd think surely everyone would now be united in what needed to be done and who's fault everything was. I heard something in the last week, can't remember where. "Newcastle are now in their 3rd Premier League season". 3 years out of the Championship. Like that's an achievement. That's what's been managed to be be the narrative for our club. And our own fans now peddle it. Fucking grim. Don't mean to be harsh or single out my brother, just someone who I know is a lifelong, scream and shout and talk nothing else, Newcastle fan. Most interaction I've had with one of them who is of the opposite opinion to me. Especially face to face and over a couple of days. Really hit home. And to think of the countless others who would say the same.

Get the fuck in
