  1. Must be nice being able to convert home games into wins now and again.
  2. Still of the slightly controversial opinion Sammy could have featured more for us last season. Not a bad Championship player.
  3. Cruel to mock people speaking English as a second language
  4. This is idiotic, tbh. I was a goalkeeper for twelve years and I was always worse than other two goalkeepers when they compared our fitness, speed... mostly because I'm 6ft 7inches tall, but I always performed better at games because the other two were lacking decision making, determination, positioning, etc. If that's how the squad is picked, then it's poor man management. Benitez should know that manager at his level is mostly motivator, psychologist and tactician and not some professor from middle school who thinks that ones who know subject by heart are better than ones who truly understand it. Ferguson and Big Ron openly admitted Paul Mcgrath never trained as he just wasn't upto it and usually drank a bottle of vodka before training. Come Saturdays though the guy was an absolute colossus of a centre half Picking a team by training statistics is not how a manager should be doing it This was 30 years ago. There's not a chance the likes of McGrath would get away with being a pisshead in the modern game. Regardless, even in that case, it's an example of an exceptional scenario. We don't have anybody in the squad good enough to get into the team purely on talent, certainly not Mitrovic.
  5. I'm not saying he's any good, but the fact that at the very least he's played for England at youth level and somehow cost £7 million in the summer puts him ahead of Josh Maja and Joel Asoro. If it wasn't for those two signings I'd have put them at 100% certain to gown.
  6. I really can't see him playing until Rafa has at least seen him in training for a bit. Think this is 50% a punt on a player, 50% a way to allow Woodman out on loan for much needed gametime.
  7. Getting Camp and Fletcher in late last night might give them a fighting chance, simply because of how bad their other keepers are and the fact they had no other centre forward. However neither of those players are anything more than low end Championship players.
  8. Was released on deadline day IIRC. Aye seems the money has disappeared at Antalyaspor. The released Eto'o (signed for another Turkish team) and William Vainqueur too. Would take Nasri on a free for sure. No chance of it happening though.
  9. Objectively it's not good, it's a really terrible film. It's only enjoyable since it's in Newcastle.
  10. If we'd had Joselu last season instead of Gayle we'd have finished bottom half of the Championship. The bloke is a fucking carthorse.
  11. The entire team is talentless and mentality fragile beyond belief. I can't see anything other than relegation. We literally can't win home games.
  12. We'd absolutely deserve it like for fucking about until the last minute.
  13. This is fucking horrendous. Burnley turning the game into a scrap and completely bullying us.
  14. Sterry has signed for Crewe on loan.
  15. The Beeb still has World Cup 2014 highlights up? There's a couple of hours gone for me.
  16. I wouldn't have bothered letting Saivet go if we weren't planning on bringing in another midfielder. Embarrassing thing is we probably 'needed' him and Mitrovic out to pay for Slimani's wages.
