I was up a few weeks back for my mate's wedding up near Balloch on Loch Lomond. Had the Sunday in Glasgow. Absolutely quality place. Had some top scran and beers. Spoilt for choice with pubs and it was so cheap compared to drinking down here. Made me hope we draw Rangers in the CL for an away day, I enjoyed it that much.

I did also think that. But Barnes (if he signs) will happily drive forward when he has space, Isak will, Big Joe, Little Joe, Tonali. All from wider areas, at times. i Think there are a few in there that can drive forward on the ball.

Eurodance banger

Darlow redeeming himself. Class save at the end there.

Taking the piss out of the Gigi D’Agostino goal music

Is it? Fuck, never knew that. Sorry, I should have said. Compared to basically everyone of our players. His level of play has been noticeably lower than usual. Just trotting about like he’s still on his holidays. I know he’ll be back to being our best player when the season starts. Was merely an observation on how he has played tonight.

Bruno looks miles off it/not arsed. Shite from Darlow, mind. Not the best pass and then crisp packet hands.

Very impressed with that half from him. A couple of times I thought he lost a duel when he maybe should have done better. But that will come in time, I reckon. Can imagine they’re more ‘up’ for the physical stuff in this game than we are. Great that we are trying to get more chants going for our players. But the words to his new song are absolute shite. The shouts for Eric Prydz - Call on me. But just shouting Tonali, like we apparently did for Bellamy. Or the one ‘dance with somebody’ made much more sense.

Yeah. Older brother of Harry.

Couldn’t believe the commentator when he said something about not being able to hear our fans. As the Rangers fans were so loud?! Apart from that drum and some whispering. They’ve been non-existent.

That first time ball over the top from Tonali will be frustrating a lot of the while. But the likes of Isak, Gordon, Miggy and Wilson are going to get in from that a good few times and will really suit their game.

Playing well here.

Been expecting this for a while now. But I’ll still be really sad if/when he leaves. My favourite players growing up and over the years have been Asprilla, Robert, Martins (to a lesser degree), HBA and then ASM. So I’ve always been a fan of the inconsistent rogues that can split opinion in the fanbase. I totally understand the decision if the club and Howe have decided to move him on. But I’ll miss the fucker.

Proper aftertiming from me, this But kept thinking I wanted Barnes here, along with Maddison. With preference probably for Barnes. Leicester supporting mate of mine seemed done with Maddison and said Barnes would be the better fit for us and value for money. I’m hoping this goes through and he’s proved right.

Small time scouse mackem cunts. LOL

We might be able to to have that triangle of passes and in behind ball on both sides now. Be difficult for the opposition to cheat and overload the right hand side on Trippier/Bruno/Miggy (insert wide man here). When Barnes is miles better at doing it on the opposite side.

I get he has some flaws and it’s not a sexy signing. But fuck me, he has an array of finishes. He can twat it off either foot or be a bit more FIFA RB/R1 finesse finish. Considering how wasteful we were in and around the box last season. Either failing to get a shot off or fucking up decent chances. I feel like he could continue his impressive scoring stats for us, if he were to sign. As we do seem to create quite a lot now.

Stay. Even if it would end up costing say, half the cost of a new stadium. Just to get the capacity up by an extra 5000-8000. I would rather that than relocating. The stadium is in the perfect spot and it is what makes Newcastle arguably the best match day experience in the league for fans. Unless you’re an away fan in L7, I suppose

Does he not do fairly long threads now and then? Guessing they are trying to entice people into using Stats Bomb or whoever it is he works for now. To get more in depth stuff? I dunno. Never looked too far into it.

I like a lot of it. The stuff when it is graphs that I need a degree to decipher. I just ignore it I do think analytics has jumped the shark, if that is even possible. Like desperate to use data over a really short space of time or using select stats to suit their argument. Seems like we have somehow gone too far into it and just ignored the eye test or the intangibles.

Bit late to the party. But any of the relegated players we have been linked with, I’d be happy with, if the price was right. Also, whilst I love his analytical pieces and tweets. That Kev Lawson RT’s any old transfer twat. Surely he isn’t believing all of this ITK nonsense?! From someone called something like Botman1887 with an image of Big Sven B as their profile pic.

You know what. Now it’s over, I’m sat here smiling really happy for them. My Uncle was a massive West Ham fan and he passed away earlier this year. So just happy for his family, really.

What a bunch of absolute cunts. I’m guessing they’re all bitter because they got run all over town by Fiorentina’s ‘ultras’ (also cunts). But why are so many of them launching shit at players? Not acceptable at any time. But it’s usually when a team score and celebrate and goad the other team’s fans. So you can almost understand it. This poor fucker was just trying to take a corner!

Have they fucked up the photoshop with Bruno? Thin black stripe around the armpit and there doesn’t appear to be one on the other two?
