The mackem in the away end who does the cross gesture just before the second penalty I know lots of players look nervous in the run up and still score plenty. But Isidor looked like he was shitting himself for both misses.

Seriously, though. So much of that is just simply him recycling the ball. But it’s hypnotic. He is the best in our team for coming back from the wrong side of the ball. But still nicking it without fouling the player. I know it’s a highlight reel. So you can always make players look good or bad in isolation. But I found it strange that were some really positive bits from the Chelsea away game. I remember him being anonymous and having a bad game. Similar for Everton. Thought he was meh like everyone was on the day. But half that video seemed to be from Goodison

“Who else has seen this filth?!”

Yeah fuck coming back for the second half. Might go and wank with some sand paper or something. Probably less painful and more enjoyable than this.

He has the ability to just dink it over the defender and hurdle the challenge almost in one motion. He was rapid that Agbadou and all. Looked a good, physical defender. Just glided past him.

Connor Roberts is fucking shite.

I do. I know you should just take each game as it comes and not look back or forward too much. But we have some tough looking away games left and a really tricky run to end February. I know we have made up points elsewhere. But I already feel like we have dropped 6 points against two teams we would be expected to at least draw against at home. Plus some crap away results to boot. I think our home form is what will get us over the line for Europe. So say we’re targeting, what, 25-30 more points for top 4 or 5? We’ll need to rack up some more wins at home in games like this IMO.

Burnley looking a bit like Swansea under Rodgers or Brighton under I think, Potter? Loads of possession and passes. Fuck all happening. Just seen they’ve only scored 31 this season. Nearly the lowest in the top half.

This sunderland kit is not sure if it wants to be like the jazzy Nigerian one. Or just a rip off of a Northern Ireland away kit.

They’re so safe when someone is in on goal like that. Those ones gets given in the box if it’s defender on attacker. But refs almost always whistle for these. Just in case.

Ah yes. I’d half forgotten Scott Parker always likes to wear a garish, over priced coat on the touchline. I wonder what’s tonight is. £1000? 2? More?!

Burnley bossing the EDL derby so far.

If you want to talk about people doing it consciously and it sounding totally unnatural. I always thought Cheryl Tweedy totally forced her ‘new’ voice after all her fame. Not heard her talk in years. Possibly the worst one I have ever heard below. The cunt’s from Solihull and he’s talking like an extra from Top Boy There was another one knocking around doing a day in the life and it’s even worse.

Does he still say PEL-ANTY for penalty?

Again. This is the man that said he knew nothing about the Barnes deal or that it was close. Whilst I think Barnes was completing his medical at the time of the interview

Everyone is different. My wife’s Dad kept a really strong NE accent after moving down here. Mackem sadly. Harsh as fuck to listen to. My Grandma, Great Aunties, Uncles were all similar. Moved down from Durham. My mate’s Dad moved down late teens I think. His accent is basically gone altogether. Then gets thicker when we go to games and are back in Newcastle. Isn’t there some thing about this where certain people actually change their accent slightly without realising depending where they are and who they converse with? Sometimes even putting a foreign accent on. I’m not saying I go full Joey Barton French or Schteve McLaren Dutch. But I catch myself doing it over here. So I can easily understand how someone who does so much media work would change/tone it down over time. Whether consciously or subconsciously. As a kid. I spent all summer with some Aussie friends and found certain words or the end sentences going all Australian. I did similar after 3-4 days with my Auntie and Uncle and cousins in Birmingham. Got asked why I sounded like a Brummie when I came back

Looks like Paully was correct. Confirmed as a 5:45 KO Saturday 8th Feb. Live on BBC One.

Did you not read any of the following paragraphs? I don’t want to rely on the subs. As they haven’t been particularly reliable with their performances of late.

Hope he plays there up at SJP

Yeah. Mad when it is broken down like that. See loads of different ones. So guessing the models have slight differences. Live Score often seems really stingy for example. Mental that an open goal tap in like that has a lower xG than a penalty. Or Antony’s 2-3 yards out. But if the keeper position isn’t factored in. Then individual massive chances like that seem pointless to even discuss on their own with xG. Anyway, congratulations on your historic win.

Fair enough. Thought it would be higher.

I’m not. I’m asking what those two huge chances contributed. Both must be about a 0.7-0.8 at a guess.

What’s the combined xG for Antony’s miss from a yard and the open goal tap in for Amad?

It’s odd. As I often watch him and think he looks crap. Doesn’t stand out all that much. But aye. He has scored some massive goals for them already. Probably kept them out the bottom 3.

I don’t know if it’s the sunderland thing. The fact that he plays for Man U. So guilty by association. But I can’t stand the little cunt
