No water break in CL?

Foden's touch is outrageous

Real are always awful without Ramos. Lyon beating Juve. Juve need 3

Good news in general

Aye why the hell are they on at the same time?

Not scoring an open play goal from the end of January until the end of the season?

Really good piece IMO

Surprised by that. Good news

From Barcelona as well. Very similar to the Pique situation years ago

That's not bad by modern standards

He scored 11 goals and had 3 assists in the prem a couple of seasons ago in a pretty ordinary Fulham team. He's already shown he can be productive at this level. He did alright like but he scored one penalty and no other goals between the end of January and the end of the season for Fulham that season

Roma getting bought for nearly €600m. Surprised they're so much more expensive than us

Guy is generally a scumbag. He voted against the 2nd Tyne tunnel and also against the Silverlink roundabout and A1 duelling. Had the misfortune of meeting him once before. He's an extremely bitter b******. Hates NUFC or anything north of the Tyne for that matter. Openly admits it as well. Guy is a full blown Tosser. He sent his son to Whitley Bay High school despite living right next to John Spence. He sent him there because John Spence doesn’t have a good reputation or OFSTED rating, or at least it didn’t at the time, where as Whitley Bay did. If he was anyone else there is no way he would been able to send his kid to Whitley Bay over John Spence. Even if John Spence was full, he would have been required to send him to Marden, or Monkseaton ahead of Whitley Bay. It just so happens that both of those schools weren’t highly rated either. He was a teacher at Whitley High when i was there. He started dating a sixth form student and then left the school under a bit of a cloud i seem to remember. Then they got married a few years later. He was a right arsehole. Yes. He was born in 1957, left Whitley Bay High School in 1989 when he was 32. A sixth former would have been 18 when they left, so the scenario was he was 32 (or younger) and she was around 18 when they started seeing each other. Not a good look for an MP. It must make for an uncomfortable moment when anyone asks him or his wife how they met. I'm loathe to take this off topic, but what the f***? I'm a teacher in Australia, and that guy would have his registration permanently cancelled and an investigation for historical child sex offences. And that's not hyperbole - I had a colleague whose 40 year old relationship with an 18yo consensual student saw him banned for life and a very rigorous police investigation (after it came to light). You ever listen to "The Teacher's Pet" podcast?

Was about to ask if Eriksen has been shite for Inter and he's just scored about a minute after coming on

I usually see comments like this regarding left footers. Most clubs play two right footed centre backs though, so does it really matter if you play two left footed ones? I think it's quite important to have the balance when you're a passing team. I think you'll find that most top possession based teams will have one of each. Left footed players are generally more one footed than right footed players also

Thought they would have gone for a right footer though instead of Ake with Laporte there

I agree with VAR mostly but interesting to hear the other day that Ciro Immobile and Ronaldo the two top scorers in Serie A had 14 and 12 penalties respectively in their totals for the season and the record for most penalties in a Serie A season broke a 70 year old record this season also. Maybe let handball be judged by the ref unless it's completely obvious?

Yeap, the only valid reason is for legal reasons. They seem to be a bit of a incompetent organisation tbh. Aye but even saying that would be so much better than doing nothing and just ignoring it. Just something like "We understand the annoyance of Newcastle. Unfortunately for legal reasons we cannot discuss the case at the moment. We apologise for the inconvenience"

Having said all I've said, the Premier League's complete lack of communication since the Saudis "pulled out" is obviously a complete joke mind and I don't understand why they have chosen to remain completely silent

You're the one who seems to know how they operate, assuming that their chairman has no input whatsoever for some reason

Don't have to be "nicey-nice". I'd settle for private individual that doesn't bomb people or chop up journalists Didn’t realise Al-Rumayyan, Staveley or The Reubens had. Should be fine then. The chairman of PIF is MBS but of course you know this already

Don't have to be "nicey-nice". I'd settle for private individual that doesn't bomb people or chop up journalists

Also someone who delights in NUFC being s***, most likely while glued to watching Man City and Chelsea playing fantastic footy on Sky. What the f*** are you talking about? Not wanting a murderous regime controlling the club = delighting in Newcastle being s*** of course It's what you end up with though right? You were all for alternative bids due to opposition to the murderous regime, so I guess you are hanging your hat on Mauriss now right? Nah, I don't fancy your alternative much mate. Oh and btw, the takeover was stopped by another murderous regime's objections, no one at the PL really gave a toss about human rights. Mauriss is clearly not a proper alternative. Yeah I'm not the PL mate, my opinion isn't the same as theirs So do you have a proper alternative? Do you think there is one out there? Richard Keys did a while ago, but since the deal fell through he's probably stopped spamming that nonsense. Job done now p*ss of Newcastle. I don't have a proper alternative. I don't think Saudi Arabia is a better alternative than Mike Ashley considering the things they have done in the world. The Reubens on their own with Staveley involved would be a good alternative but they don't seem to have any interest in that unfortunately
