LFEE

Very good summary and totally agree, the team were not good enough last year by a long long way and although I will always give new players time, I just don't see the current new crop enhancing the team - what was blatantly obvious from last season was the need for a 15 - 20 goal striker to replace Remy, a creative central midfield player to replace Cabaye and a quality defender just to stop the bucket load of goals being shipped in. We have bought none of the three; and low and behold we lack a scoring centre forward (Riviere will not score 15 - 20 goals by a long way as his goals to games ratio suggests), a central midfield with as much creativity as morph and a defence which strains more things though than a colander. Sad and desperate times all round. Can't argue with any of that...

He's in the team today...

Lacazette starts for Lyon today...

So we are already 4 points down from last seasons total after only 3 games...

That's where I had in mind... Not far for me to get them there either...

Just had a genius idea I think... What about hanging them both somewhere prominent for The Great North Run next weekend?

It's where they hold the wedding ceremonies... I think Slim & Santoon swapped vows with HBA...

Hats off to Slim & Santoon... They put in the leg work today.... And they've learnt their lesson with a ball of string also... Might get it an airing at Dunston tomorrow...

It did... Then got move 10yards...

#Hope Still at Bar Loco... Made the full 90mins in its alternative position...

Just had an argument with a fellow fan ref HBA... He's piped down now!

Back at Bar Loco post match... PS we are losing 0-1 first minute!

It's down now... But got a decent run...

Done... Apologies it's a bit manic... Well done Slim & Santoon

On it's way in the stadium...

Love it! On my way... Should land just before 2 with a few mates...

Yeah, your senile, its Roger Thames :lol:

Might want to add Royal Quays/North Shields Soccerdome in the title also...

I thought it was Richard Thames... Showing my age...

Ok... I've booked it for 10-12 on the 18th October (Soccerdome North Shields)and paid the deposit of £35 for the first hour... I can sort a ball and red & yellow bibs... Will leave the team picking and trophy up to others though i'd suggest looking at my post in the other thread for the link to a good trophy shop... I'll just get the money off you all on the morning once we have numbers and i'd recommend we aim to get there for 9.30ish to co-ordinate the whole lot so we aren't wasting pitch time... Can someone change the thread title please!

That makes more sense...

Surely bus is the better option from Royal Quays back to town for those on foot?
