Yemeni ghosts pleased as punch because Newcastle only got 1 point.

What I would say is without VAR we’d probably have lost to City and Wolves. Yesterday was an absolute farce and something needs to be done about the delivery of the system but I can’t help but feel would be just as fucked off if we were back to the heady days of Ageuro standing two yards offside. The use of VAR in the city game should mitigate some of the conspiracy theory.

Watching this on some of the worst rivers ever has not made for a fun afternoon

Would love to see Big Dunc batter Rio

In terms of the players acquired probably a 7/10, in terms of what we acheived vs what was acheivable. It's difficult to assess the clubs performance because there is a wealth of information we do not know. I'm sure many were critical or anxious about failing to sign Botman last January and that's turned out ok. Overall though I feel like this window and the way we have started the season probably shows prospective players that we are very much a club worth joining and progressing with. That's invaluable going forward.

He didn’t go to Liverpool or City.

My Ando, my Ando why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? O my Ando, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Newcastle.

how?

I’m just glad Juventus were finally able to catch a break.

I still can’t really believe they scored that late. Fucks sake

We’ve come fucking miles in under a year. This result is galling but we’ve played two of the best sides of the past decade and come close to beating both.

Fucks sake. Off straight away.

To be fair Shelvey in the Championship looked like prime Riquelme.

Jury fail to reach a verdict in the Giggs case.

Wilfully not understand.

In my experience, yes.

That's what I'm talking about!

Should just say he's here on holiday and not pay him. Give him a bonus for his next match.

Gonna be massively disappointed if the Isak work permit thing is not just a ruse to keep Liverpool guessing.

Not sure id risk him v Liverpool if it’s his hammy.

we did. At Christmas time.

5 out of 7

This was actually a very tricky tie that we came through well. Both Lascelles and Botman coped really well with it. The team looked a lot more organised and disciplined than any second string I can remember, they just aren't particularly good.
