Sho Time

Not a huge fan of him ability-wise but he is a miles better option than Taylor and his attitude alone makes him an automatic starter for us between now and the rest of the season. He's fearless as well when it comes to attacking set-pieces.

As much as I'm chuffed with the win and the convincing scoreline, Swansea's defending at set-pieces was fucking atrocious and it's no wonder 2 of our goals came from them. Still a long, long way to go.

Triple captained the cunt. -12 pt for transfers and bench boost played for this game week.

Tripe captaining Lukaku and brought in Funes Mori too.

If we can keep hold of Rafa, Mbemba, Perez and Mitro (extremely optimistic, I know) I'll be happy, not arsed about anyone else. Mbemba has been fucking wank but I think this is down to a lack of confidence rather than ability.

4-1 loss. We never, ever win at Southampton. Once in about 40 years IIRC.

Although he's the only player that can pass the ball forwards to someone in our team, he is really starting to fuck me off. Constantly pointing telling players to mark/close down others yet never actually attempting to go for a player, stick a foot in or track a runner. They showed a couple of clips on MoTD re: Naismith and on 2 occasions it's him doing that, and it was constant. £24m on him and Townsend is looking like a right fucking waste of money.

The 2nd should have been a comfortable save. Aye it was struck well, but the shot was straight at him so if you ask me Elliott would have comfortably kept that out. Still, fair play to him for the save against Mbokani earlier with his foot.

Changing to 4-4-2 resulted in our draw against Chelsea and win against Norwich which are our 2 best performances of the season.

The King's demise is the only thing keeping me happy this season.

No surprises - I forgot he was on the pitch again.

Still don't see how a defence as s*** as ours is expected not to concede and we have a midfield that aside from Shelvey can't even make a 5-yard forward pass without losing it merits this 4-2-3-1 (really 4-5-1) bollocks with a lone striker. Play 2 up top FFS.

Jesus, I've seen some bad attempts but that is beyond ridiculous. I suppose it's the Sun's level though.

Shame it was Cruyff instead of him. What a prick.

I think I'd rather that tbh. Darlow is a f***ing fanny. based on what? the 1 or 2 games you've seen darlow play? or the 0 games you've seen woodman play? genuine question. Based on the 2 games I've seen him play, in pre-season with zero pressure spending more time sorting his hair out than actually f***ing stopping shots. Looked dodgy as hell. The West Brom game, additional pressure but nothing like what we're facing now. That ball in the air he had to jump and catch but punched for a corner, he started bad and went worse and cost us 3 points with his abysmal goalkeeping. I'm not saying Woodman is the solution to the problem, because I haven't seen him play. But from what I've seen of Darlow's 'abilities' and mentality I do not want to see him lining up in a game as important as this. Anyway, it's not true - but I can hope!

I think I'd rather that tbh. Darlow is a fucking fanny.

Seen a belter earlier on about how a thug and racist like Jamie Vardy who put Facebook updates before he was in the public eye such as 'chat s*** get banged' is heralded as a national hero when a lovely down-to-earth modest bloke like Adam is treated like scum. Some of this s*** is like something you'd read in Letterbocks in the Viz. Also this one - sounds like a great mother. This is the level of intelligence of people supporting the fucking ingrate, unfortunately thanks to the introduction of social media we're now more exposed than ever to the ramblings of these braindead shitehawks.

If we lose this we are down, nothing we can do to stop it then.

3/10, would definitely divorce.

The classy club.

Agree with TCD on this, Saivet has to come in against the mackems.

Agree. Mahrez, Vardy, Kante are getting the majority of the plaudits and he's going quite unnoticed. I'd take him to the Euro's tbh.

I feel we have a bit of an edge going into this but this is Newcastle fucking United. Why the fuck would we EVER be confident?
