Its the first ever National League level game to be held in Cornwall tomorrow. (I'm fairly certain Truro are getting trounced)

So very very undeserved, but Liverpool look ropey, and this win feels like it papers some cracks a little.

Honestly this Isak carry on has made me hate Liverpool even more than I previously did, that Bournemouth goal felt proper cathartic. I even scared my cat shouting "Get in" so loud, so even if Liverpool go on to win that was a good moment

Liverpool still win this, we all know the script. It'll be the "stuff of Champions" and everyone will ignore the issues they've shown today.

Genuinely celebrated that.

Lovely goal that. Bournemouth deserve that too.

Elanga and Gordon next week...

Yuk.

Why are the Sky presenters in the gantry?

So far, Liverpool and all their new toys, don't look all that. They seem way too top heavy, and like they could be exposed defensively quite a bit. They'll also probably spank to odd team 6-0.

That handball is an odd one, as it looks like he touched it, but Ekitike wasn't exactly in a clear goalscoring position, so it'd probably be a yellow card offense, which VAR doesn't intervene with.

If it's not a Newcastle game, I have no idea why you'd ever watch a pre-match show. Especially if the game involves Liverpool or Man United

The logic of "he's won it all so he's not going to push himself" is really flawed, every player wants to push himself to win as many accolades as possible, they get the the level the are at by having an elite drive to succeed, someone at 24 isn't just going to stop having that after one really good season. By that logic, PSG as a team are just going to half ass it all season.

New Stoke badge:

Daniel Farke just stated that DCL has signed for Leeds.

First game of the 21/22 season under Bruce. We lost 4-2.

When Wissa signs, its going to be weird for a little while with their being no noise about potential incomings. It feels like all summer every day there has been a player or two the press have been hammering on about

I would hate to do one of these press conferences, each reporter has asked basically the exact same question about Isak, its ridiculous. I think there has been about 3 questions not involving him

So according to the great people of the Newcastle Online predictions league (28 people in total), here is the likely result: Villa Win = 18 Draw = 9 Newcastle Win = 1 Aggregate Score = Aston Villa 56 - 25 Newcastle United Average Result = Aston Villa 2-1 Newcastle United

Wissa, Elanga, Ramsey, Ramsdale, Thiaw..

Dundee out on pens to Rapid Vienna.

I have never heard of Matthew Syed before, but that may be one of the best articles ive read. More of him please.
