Hmm, do I want Sissoko to fail or inflict misery on our rivals for once. What a doozy.

Minutes silences are awful, miserable affairs. The fewer of them the better.

Was a big day for the groaning freaks yesterday. Even before they scored.

Glenn Whelan will never die.

Stoke's defence is a mess.

Jimmy Tomkins ballin.

Aye, the corner sound was about a minute early.

Thought the battle for the title would be between the two Manc teams. Might still be but struggle to see anyone challenging City, already.

Would like to see Yedlin, Lazaar & Mitro start. Other than that don't care, just hope for some bouncebackability. Can't deal with two defeats to Wolves in 4 days.

Impressive week for the glory hornet boys.

Nobody deserves to be compared to Titus.

Invisible Wijnaldum of a performance yesterday. Not sure he's a #10.

Anyone in Shearers (shit, anah) after the match? They're making a habit of having Steve fucking Wraith interview Supermac after the match. My word, the man is an absolute fucking misery, went in there depressed enough and had to listen to him rant nonsensical shite for 30 minutes. The bloke absolutely despises Mitrovic.

Pathetic for the 2nd goal. Needs to start delivering quickly like. I love him but his lack of any sort of consistency is a major worry.

You don't need to be a goalkeeper expert to see that he should have done better wih that shot - he needs to be dropped as he looks a nervous wreck in everything he does currently and that's one position you can't afford to have that. Tbf I wasn't even referring to the goal. Generally he was flappy and all over the shop. Haven't rewatched the second goal, but it did look nowhere near the corner like.

No proper fan questions a thing. We're 3rd in the league, will gan up with ease.

You're not allowed to criticise him as before today he hadn't conceded a single goal in 5 games (or whatever), so he's been doing everything right. Lurl, people who have got nowt to do wit games could not care less. He's shite though like.

Shite the day that. Won 6 in a row, so fuck that, we're mint. One point though. First time Sels has been tested. Know it's not cool to criticise him, but fuckinf atrocious. Soz.

7 wins in a row would be nice like.

I was talking about the league as a whole, not just my team (who has dropped in their attendances since moving to a new arena, and now hasn't got the highest attendances in the country any more). Can also add that a vast majority of the match going fans that I know support at least one team in one of Europe's big leagues and follow them almost as much as their local team, so there is competition from the TV for all our games over here. What if Gateshead away games were shown live on TV? I would bet anything that it'd drum up interest for them and make more people go to their games. To me, you lot are sounding eerily similar to big movie companies whinging about home streaming meanwhile Star Wars is making over 2 billion dollars in the cinema. People want the best experience, and that is going to games/cinema. That will never, ever change, no matter how comfortable your sofa is. If all 3pm games are available, which is what you're proposing, nobody will be choosing to watch Gateshead games though. It will happen eventually like, the FA/PL only care about making money and pandering to the global market. Won't change my opinion though, what has made the English game brilliant and unique is the fact that there is support for thousands of clubs across the country.

You're talking about the most supported club in Sweden though. If Newcastle 3pm away fixtures are easily accessible, attendances will be affected for Heed, Blyth, Shields et al. People on Twitter were correctly noting that the Friday night football is another victory for the armchair football fan, removal of the blackout would be the killer blow.

Can't we all just accept that we are both obsessed with our local rivals, as most football fans are, and get on with some bad-natured piss taking?

Difficult one if a proper football manager in Unai Emery is questioning his fitness.

Wullie

Have always maintained he didn't mean it. Flukey twat.
