Nice touch when Dummett got a round of applause from the corner/Gallowgate. Really like him.

Who with? I’ll have a bit of that!

Would much rather a team was picked on merit/stats rather than persisting with the same players and formula constantly. See Pardew, Alan.

Was Dummett bad on Wednesday? Can’t say I noticed to be honest. Seemed solid enough.

Been class since Lascelles chinned him. Good on him. Was like a 2012 Yaya Toure last night!

Gave him the benefit of the doubt all season, but I hope I never see him in black and white again. He’s fucking shit and cost us many times.

Eh, we have had talks with West Ham for Carroll (Sky)?! Put off apparently.

Contrary to reports over Christmas, we confirmed on Sunday takeover negotiations remained ongoing between Amanda Staveley and NUFC. Staveley setting up a new company that looks suspiciously like the holding company she used to buy Manchester City has sparked fresh talk that an announcement is imminent. Chris Waugh has spoken to Staveley’s people and we’ll have an update from that very soon. But wilder social media talk of an announcement today or this week looks just that. Premier League sources say the fit and proper person’s test hasn’t begun and until that happens, it’s difficult to see how there’d a grand announcement. This one will run and run.... From Douglas.

Have no idea where our next points are coming from. Them performances against Liverpool and Southampton seem light years ago. Find it hard to hate on the players but they’re simply not good enough. A serious lack of investment in the summer needs fixed in January else there’s only one place this team is heading.

0-2. Think they're a good price, although I'd feel dirty backing it.

We look solid enough tbh, but don't look like scoring. This season's Boro.

In fairness he only returned to training on Friday.

Didn't they make good money for Henderson? Seven years ago. 2011 they sold him? Sure it was the summer after we sold Carroll in the January.

Man Utd at home is the leak. It's apparently on the Sunday, although it's probably wrong.

(most) of our signings of the last few years have came relatively out of the blue. Last summer can't remember the likes of Diame, Clark, Yedlin, Murphy, Sels etc being linked for example. Even Wijnaldum and Mitrovic happened fast if I remember correctly. Could be wrong like, but I'm not worried at all.

The ten minutes from when Gayle scored, Villa equalised and then their result being confirmed was fucking magic. That's exactly why you follow football. What a day yesterday was.

If (big if) we win the league, will he do a John Terry?

Gayle v Norwich. If I remember correctly at that stage it would have put them 7 points clear of us, it really took the stuffing out of a team who I thought would be our main promotion rival. Second Murphy away to Brentford for me. We had just lost to Blackburn the last championship game before, were looking really shaky at the time. Brentford equalised and by all accounts it was backs to the wall, then we scored against the run of play and went on another decent run. Seemed a pivotal goal.

Thought Perez had his best game in a while. Mbemba was good too. Our best performance in a while, although they were shit.

Think Brighton will win at the weekend and then lose away to Leeds. After Saturday, we really should be picking up 9/9 from the next 3.

Think it's just the one defeat against Blackburn wearing it ? Wonder if it'll get the same cult status as the two tone yellow kit the last time we went up.... f***ing love that kit !!!! ....... Fancy another 2-1/3-1 tonight but would take a point Fulham first game I think?

Would be delighted with 4 points from the next two games. Something that Rafa said around the time of the Sheff Wed/Blackburn game stuck in my mind..."we need to learn how to draw", them points against Bristol City and Norwich were huge, even if we did shoot ourselves in the foot big time, and as disappointing as the Bristol City game was, I think the confidence we got from coming back was massive and probably led to the result at Brighton. Agreed. A point gained in the end. If someone offered us 7 points before Bristol City, Brighton and Huddersfield we would have taken them in the order they were given. Mental that at half time against Bristol City, Huddersfield were 2 points behind us with a game in hand. Funny old game.

I realise they're a strange bunch but there's some nutcase on their forum saying he would rather have Anichebe on the wing over Matt Ritchie.

Fulham next week looking like a tough game. Would go as far as to say it's probably the hardest we have left this season. 4 points next week and I'll be a 9.99.

I'm in tears here. 16 minutes. What the fuck is that
