  1. Who the hell is that Lyanco playing for Southampton? Never heard of him, Brazillian but looks like eastern european heavy in a liam neeson film
  2. Suspect it will be Joelinton, might be attempt to nulify the wing backs
  3. Did he ever get punished for one of those neckbreaker tackles? He seemed to get away with it for half a season then I dunno if someone had a word or if it finally got called a foul? (I'm not trying to be uber critical, Kane is clearly great striker but always seems to do something mental against us and get away with it...)
  4. We'll get robbed, Kane will score after two clear red card tackles that go unpunished
  5. He's been around a while like, just one of Spurs production line of very adverage midfielders who don't do anything
  6. Think it's still there, spent silly amount of time messing around with the Theremins in there and pretending to the staff i legitimately might buy one. (If I could afford I would...)
  7. Frankly any Newcastle fan who doesn't believe Bruno at this point can do whatever the fuck he wants is weird, if he wants to take a game off to go murder someone with a sword I'd be like well fair enough he is god
  8. I remember telegraming Queen Victoria herself to say that Miggy just needed patience he would be worth the cost in the end
  9. I suppose Chelsea are a big unknown, not sure Boehly comes accross as particularly patient and Potter still unsure if he can cut it at that level (or indeed manage an unruly and powerful dressing room, been the bane for a few). Could see that happening. I just don't think poch has much stock anymore.
  10. Feel Poch ought to swallow his pride tbh I am not sure he is going to get a champions league level club at this point if he wants to manage in premier league. I wonder if he is holding out for Conte flouncing off for a glorious return? Turning around Villa for a few seasons and then he is back in the picture for a 'top' job.
  11. Philipe Auclair has fairly consistently been criticial of us, Man city, PSG and of World Cup on human rights issues. the money issue seems a side one, and one that is entirely the fault of the door being open for it by the league etc. It is absolutely terrible for the quality of the leagues that the leading teams can spend so much and I would take in an instant a league where we are constrained significantly in spending along with everyone else, we would have to compete for the league on merit and that is how it should be. On the ethics, it is wrong for any football club to be owned by a sovereign wealth fund like we are. It's ludicrous and I agree at the rancourous state of the ethics. It's just, I do wonder with Auclaire, does he think the Premier league is a temple we have defiled? It has been defined by hideous greed since the start? I applaud everyone who can live monk like away from interacting with bad faith actors and evil corporations and bloody money. But we all have to live in this world, have our pleasures somewhere and it's frankly exhausting. I am still uncomfortable with the ownership and will sympathise with those points, but sometimes it feels like all the blame is laid at our door and all action is levelled at newcastle fans to do. I would never never criticise another toon fan for wanting to purely enjoy this. I will criticize needlessly cheerleading for teh saudi regime, you are not obliged to love unconditionally the owner of your club. But the league is rotten, don't demand only newcastle fans boycott, when it's so rotten surely you should be demanding all the fans say enough is enough of this league sort it out. But no it's just Newcastle fans and every other fan is off the hook and these pundits can keep watching the league and pretend that their conscious is clear.

    7th-ometer

    a few more injuries and we are in trouble i stick to my prediction of 8th but starting to feel we should be disappointed with 9th
  14. Cancelo is a better player (absolute genius tbh) but not sure he's a better right back if that makes sense. Absolute giant.
  15. Eddie being absolutely lovely in interview, asked what he did to improve Miggy and Eddie just says the player deserves the credit
  16. Defensively excellent performance, stuttering going forward but kind of to be expected considering some of the personnel
  17. I respect them being awful cunts, Lampard i expected to fail to fix their awful defense, they had become really easy to beat and while he has taken his time to do so they are really annoying to play against and if this season for them is about finishing safely in 14th this is the kind of football that will get you there. Hopefully we can get another, can't see them scoring more than 1.
  18. I am watching with my amazon prime and my stream is so fucking far behind swear were i to ever watch on magic dodgy river things they are never anywhere near this far behind, goal flash came on phone and then i'm waiting for fucking ages

    While this high pressing is how we want to play, I actually think the sheer injury inducing intensity of it is sort of enforced. We don't have players suited for a controlling possession in a slow methodical fashion really, we are doing well with posession but it is by imposing ourselves. We really could do with players who can slow things down now and then, when we are ahead or whatever so we don't need to be pressing all the time. What happens though often is premier league clubs think this way, sign some classy passing player and they get completely bypassed and look a fool.
