No worries! I used all the replies I received so you definitely made it into the final product, and hey not everyone can live up to Mike's high standards so don't beat yourself up. Now, Deuce on the other hand... That fucker completely ghosted me

Lascalles can probably handle that in between blocking throw ins

Yup, one PL goal in 26 appearances

How many goals did Riviere have for us? Was it one? In five years? Or did he get two? Had to look it up, he was with us for three years, played 31 games and scored 3 goals and 1 assist. Bought for 6.3m Euro and sold for 1.1, so that's only about 1.2 million euros per goal or assist, not counting wages. Fucking bargain actually.

Is it that much of an upgrade? Chris Wood is much better on penalties like

https://newcastle-online.org/topic/30356-how-does-newcastle-online-fit-in-to-your-quotofflinequot-life/ Here's the original thread, the thesis was about how forums can support an individual who is learning a new skill (in this case, football fandom) by helping them develop their identity as a legitimate practitioner. It sounds belabored as fuck typing it out now, but that's grad school for you. I used this forum and the old Sherdog grappling forum from my other hobby (Brazilian Jiujitsu) as examples of online communities and interviewed members to use as case studies. Funnily enough, Mike was one of the key case studies for the project. Would you believe he's not even from Newcastle?

When I was in highschool, around the turn of the century, pro evo was serious business and Newcastle were my favorite team in that. They were good enough to beat any team in the game, this was with shearer, kluivert, Solano, and Robert, but they weren't considered one of the "good" teams, so it was a good choice for bragging rights as no one could say "you only won because you're playing Madrid" or whatever. I watched some games back then but it wasn't on TV much until the NBC deal which was during Pardew's tenure. In a way that's nice because I didn't really experience throwing away the title etc, just the normal experience of following a shit team. It was the characters of that era that got me really invested, Ben Arfa was my first favorite player, then cabaye, tiote, Jonas, there were a lot of likeable players in that team. Then when things went shit I was too far gone. I also wrote my master's thesis about this forum, so even when the team was shit and the footy wasn't worth watching I spent a lot of time here. Now it's nostalgic for the old days of Web 1.9 before YouTube and Facebook ruined everything

This guy is gonna be so fucking good.

In college I had a cop follow me home driving drunk, all the way into my trailer park. I didn't even notice him until I pulled into my driveway and he cruised past behind me. My reaction was to run inside and turn off all the lights and hide in case they came back for me That was also when I retired from drunk driving, I figured I'd used up all my luck at that point.

Does the premier league / FA have any rules about this for suspensions? In the NFL they have a whole crime & punishment schedule covering everything from DUIs to murdering your spouse.

Well, here's Maxi's chance to get back in the side.

Good lad Joe, proactive.

this one always gets me, one of the better nicknames of all time.

Get the fuck in! Didn't keep up with the games and just checked the results and draw all at once, hot damn!

This guy is so fucking good. It's mad to see someone who's so good on the ball, dribbling, touch, etc, and also works so fucking hard off the ball. I feel like usually it's one or the other. (ASM and Longstaff for example)

I mean, you're not wrong, but the way we press really needs all 11 players engaged. Watching ASM last time he came on, the opposition player dribbling towards him and ASM just standing awkwardly 15 yards away going "Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck" really isn't going to cut it anymore. I hope he figures out how to play in this team, but his recent performances have not added anything to a team that's already winning without him.

I'd like to apologise for everything nice I've said about Chris Wood.

Champions league qualification is worth about $100 million all told if I remember correctly, more if you go further of course. Basing this on old price of football episodes that I half remember listening to while cleaning out the litterbox of course, but yeah it's huge for FFP.

It's crazy to be getting used to this, but that pass for Miggy oh my... If he takes a touch we never get that to go off. And it's not even as good as the one he chipped from there against, was it palace? Remember when Shelvey was our best passer? Bit of a fucking upgrade.

Seems like the opposite of the kind of player we're looking for these days. Probably just the agent fucking around, we're the go to club for bullshit rumors as always.

That would be fucking great.

So much for having plenty of money, coke is a great way to spend an infinite amount of cash in no time at all.

That smirk the whole time too, you can tell he's not listening to any of that.

Think I've looked like that every day since I had my kid, and she's almost 3.

Fuck yeah.
