It'll be a case of us getting what we can in Jan, rather than strengthening where we want to.

Aye, I was there for that, such a waste of a trip, we were absolutely shocking. Probably the first time I really started to despise TalkSport as well, in the car on the way back we had it on the radio and they were goading our fans saying that Man Utd fans outsung us all game, when in fact it was quite the opposite on the day.

Shearer, Rob Lee & Gary Speed

Was that the game at the Millenium Stadium?

I agree, I'm just not sure it'll be looked at in that way. If there's someone available who will strengthen us I think we'll go for it, regardless of priority. Got to think Howe will improve several of our squad though.

I never thought Butt didn't put the effort in for us - just thought he was on the decline when he joined, and by the end he was a snail.

Lingard is arguably better than 3 of them though. We've got to look to improve our squad across the board, there's no room for sentiment when you're staring down the barrel.

I've never thought of them as seahorses in the traditional sense, always thought of them as being a symbolic 'workhorse of the sea' type thing, bit of a nod to the ship building. Thought it was obvious that they weren't there because we have any history with tiny floating seahorses.

Good player for Gateshead this season, but he'd struggle to make an impact much higher up the pyramid imo.

Jamaal Lewis steps up to take a free kick and has a 25 yard run up.

I'd be absolutely gutted if we signed him. We've got 200+ million to spend, move on.

I've just stuck a fiver on Kraft and Busquets to be carded at 20/1

Ake would be amazing. Anyone who thinks otherwise isn't worth the interaction.

The sooner they go up the better for me. They go up now and they'll be so ill-prepared it'll be like the time Derby came up to the PL and finished the season on 12 points or whatever it was. Their fans are so fucking thick that by the time relegation is confirmed it'll be in front of 10,000 fans at the SoL and they'll be dragging their knuckles to abuse any non-white player whilst screeyming abyoowse at the forrin trust-fund kid. It'll be 'gerld' and I will burst out laughing. Morning Hank.

I want us to bring back Kurt Angle's entrance music for the second half.

Ex-Gateshead player Danny Johnson has scored a hat-trick for Mansfield. Second was a really good goal.

Joe White looks very tidy. Just hit the bar with a 25 yard free kick after winning it himself, pirouetting through the Mansfield defence before being brought down. Bondswell looks canny as well.

Joe White's just scored a worldie. 20 composure. Beating Mansfield 2-1.

Pissy knickers crowd can step down for now

Why are you all getting your kickers in a twist over a nothing article written by a known bullshitter

Sooooooo bad hahaha

Ole's at the wheeeeeeeeeeeeeel

An insight into Eddie Howe's start at Bournemouth

Basically this. Thank fuck we haven't gone with Rooney, he's shown nothing so far. Lampard has a bit more about him but I'd much prefer Howe over either those as well as Gerrard tbh. Excited by the appointment after doing some Dennis Wise scouting on Howe if I'm being honest.
