Village Idiot

Saw it first spotted a couple seasons ago, it has advanced quickly since then: http://thisinterestsme.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/gareth-bale-balding-e1407436112410.png I agree he should just go full Robben.

Gotta admire how he's a master of timing his dreadful streaks so well, as to not being blamed of actually relegating a team. Like his 2014 at Newcastle.

Despite not being in NUFC's hands, I think two wins will be enough. But it has to be two wins. Norwich and Sunderland won't win three in a row despite facing teams without anything to play for. Of course, by the same token it's hard to see NUFC winning 3 in a row this season. But win at Villa and turning Spurs at SJP isn't impossible. The atmosphere should be amazing at least.

Fair enough So who would you rather have playing? Tough question. Bravo is the more dependable keeper at this point, but he's 33 and we need to give the mantle to Ter Stegen at some point - he can become our starting goalie for the next 10 years.

Both have been very good. Ter Stegen is a bit more streaky, Bravo more dependable. But the future is Ter's, of course.

Yeah, Bravo seemed to pick up a knock.

Suárez, man. So brilliant.

Man, we're certainly limping through the finish line - if we don't crumble and pass out before we get there, that is. I expected us to drop form towards the end of the season, given how little depth our squad has, but not such a vertical dive.

Looking our late lead-legged selves today. Neymar has pretty much gone to pot in the last two months.

Yeah, you only have to rely on Everton now!

Such a great player. It will be frustrating if those reports about him leaving for Chelsea are true, although I guess it's sadly inevitable.

Linked with Valencia. I'd love to see what he can do with a team of that stature, although the management there is pretty rotten at the moment.

Arsenal should be a bit more arsed (pun!) than that. Finishing 4th and heading towards the CL playoffs in a year with a major summer international tournament is a terrible prospect.

Was thinking about Norwich, you and Palace drawing, since you and Norwich have the same difference. Palace gets off in that scenario then? Yeah, Spain is H2H so I always get a bit confused with other leagues...

What are the rules if 3 teams tie at 39? Impossible like, but I have to worse fantasies.

Two wins and it's done imho. But it's gonna be 39 points or bust.

Right now I'm flipping like a f***ing hysteric between this, Stoke-Sunderland and Real Sociedad-Real Madrid, praying that none of the away teams scores

This is too good.

Yeeesssssss

Today's either gonna be glorious or utterly miserable.

The Pozzo's are being investigated by the Spanish IRS for fiscal fraud related to Granada/Udinese/Watford player contracts. Dodgy business involving their ownership? WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT!

No other visible candidates and Del Bosque is leaving after the Euro. Big chance he'll get the offer. I agree that he doesn't seem to fit the international manager mold, though. I don't think it would work. There's also Valencia, but I don't see him getting along with their current ownership (granted, he's got Ashley to contend with at NUFC). And it seems he wants to stay in the UK for the foreseeable future.

Is NUFC your Second team VI ? if so why ? Because N-O. Yeah, it's your fault.
