Miercoles

I was just thinking about digging up the preseason thread, where we were all talking about how finishing 9th would be spectacular. Some things have fucking happened since then huh?

Thought he looked great tbh

It's crazy how many people don't give a shit about their kids. I'm sure this guy is enjoying the heaps of cash he got for telling his daughter to STFU.

Set pieces I dunno, but it is frustrating. As for open play, not a single one of our wingers can put in a cross to save their life, so that's probably that mystery solved.

Second goal there was fucking sweet. Also, it's funny, I watch so many Newcastle games I think I've forgotten what a headed goal looks like.

Going to be a long fucking month waiting for this.

Yeah that's what makes it such a good block he actually moves his head to get onto it, unfortunately that also put him side-on to the impact which makes it so much more damaging.

Have to give him some credit for an absolutely heroic block there. How many times do we see players in the wall ducking out of the way of shots? Constant pet peeve, but I guess this is why. Looked like a nasty free kick too if he doesn't block it. Good lad, Zach.

So's my dick

Fuck, Bruno's pretty good isn't he?

Good god I forgot Cieran Clark even existed. Yeah so next summer without: Clark Dummett Ritchie Shortstaff Fraser Shelvey Wood Darlow That's most of a Championship side we'll be free of. Think we'll really see something after that.

Pretty shrewd business to cut the deadwood in January and build in the summer, really. Slightly frustrating as of course I want to win everything, but if we go into the summer looking at our payroll and not seeing Shelvey, Fraser, Darlow, and Wood, that feels pretty good actually.

Would absolutely love to see the player laying down get just absolutely drilled in the face one time

I needed to hear this, why I am pretending to be in fucking accounts payable over here, let's win some fucking games! Worth remembering that one of the first moves post takeover was a new general counsel, I'm sure to stay abreast of all the FFP loopholes available.

Feel like he doesn't pass the "nee dickheads" test? Shithousery, sure, but can't imagine Eddie fancies bringing in a player who skips training.

Yeah I don't get that at all. I was specifically watching out for it last game and I don't think he had a single misplaced pass, had to do some footwork under pressure, and was fine. I think, like you said, it's just a lazy way to hedge your praise.

So we're not going to talk about that scarf?

Andre fucking Mariner

Thought we looked fucking ragged today. Glad there's a full week to recover. First time I've ever seen Almiron looking tired.

Three outstanding saves today, the swerving shot from outside the box, the 1-on-1 kick save, and the snap shot from close range. All three of those were holy-fuck level saves. Then some poor lad stepped up to him and Pope ended his career

What in the fuck am I watching

Hard to argue, with the form we've been in. I wouldn't mind seeing ASM for Longstaff and Joelinton back into the middle, however.

What in the flying fuck is this Spurs kit? I feel like I have a fever or something, an acid flashback to 1992 maybe?

That 0-0 at their place is looking better and better every week.

No but I stopped drinking lol
