But Aye, it was just us nasty NUFC fans not giving him the time he deserved because he used to manage Sunderland.

Managed to stick to my one free transfer, swapping out one of my bench players, and have managed to have 11 playing (so far). But my bench aint playing if any of the first team drop out. Trying to hold onto my Free hit and wildcard and not use them too soon.

Dubs looked happy last night... Bet he thougth this was a match he was brought in to play.

Sunderland's 'Talisman Striker' out for up to 12 weeks? This seems appropriate...

Aye, we know Mr Loyalty loves to manage rivals, and Brightons club rivals are Palace, aren't they?

Carragher on SSN reckons Tuchel was heavily involved in the choices and recruitment over the summer, so puzzled he didn't get longer with them.

Aye, hopefully disrupts/destabilises Brighton.

SSN reckon signing were by 'the recruitment team' not necessarily all Tuchel's targets. So they were probably signing them anyway, regardless of manager.

SSN: Potter given permission to speak to Chelsea

That's what people keep saying though. It's not 'VAR' at fault, but the people controlling it during the match. They are the ones making the call to have something checked. Supposed to be for clear and obvious ref errors only, and not to re-referee matches, but what yesterday did (certainly in ours and West Ham's games) was exactly that. The pressure was on the referee to change his decision. It's a difficult one. I heard some pundits calling for the VAR officials to be ex-pros who know the game better, but surely that can lead to potential bias also? VAR official being refs, they are all supposed to be impartial, but seemingly making the same mistakes they'd make on the pitch., depsite the beneift of multiple caemra angles.

Time pickford took with that goalkick. Must be worth at least another 3mins?

6minutes (min.) added time Be interesting if Liverpool score, if the whistle goes bang on the 6 mins.

Ah, so its all about 'force' in the tackling foot now. So it doesn't matter if you hurt an apponent as long as there was little force in your foot??!!

VAR check and a pitch invasion. Should be about 15 minutes added on for Liverpool today?

and a longer arm

It is amazing how triggered they have been (even more than usual) since the takeover, on their moral high horses. And now a local lad is on the rise as a pop/rock star, and him playing at SJP has seemingly triggered them to a whole new level.

Zaga-bloody-dou??!!

Except for this shit...

Probably bring in a new fair sponsorship rule that no teams and/or their kit or stadia can be sponsored by an Airline, unless you already are before said ruling came into force.

And so it begins (via the (DeludedRTG) twitter account...

This Headline on Craig Hope's piece too... "'Everyone is against us!': Eddie Howe moans that mega-rich Newcastle are facing inflated transfer price tags from their Premier League rivals because of their success since the Saudi takeover - after failing to sign James Maddison and Jack Harrison"

I've probably asked this before, but on the Castore 'snides' from DHGate, is the sizing pretty close to UK sizing, or still runs small? Problem is, they only used to do sizes up to 2XL, which in the Adidas snides, were always smaller (closer to UK L). But now, sellers are offering up to 4XL. Now I don't need a 4XL, but just wondered if the Castore snides still needed sized up?

So it wasn't really about Ashby either. Downie saying West Ham might want another defender in before they let him go??!!

Graves saying an update from Downie at Newcastle after the break. No doubt the Ashby one.
