Who cares if it was fluke...he took a chance and it went in. Yes it may well have been accidental, but it was still forward dynamic play. Yes he might not be a superstar, but he works in Eddie's team....think he'd comfortably be a first choice player for at least half of the league

He might not be one of our best, but he's been pretty effective in this team. Plus watching him you can see the joy in his face almost for just being here. Will live in memory for his sh**housery waving bye to one of the opposition. Likeable, good solid backup, won't take us to next level but has shown he can be relied on when needed

"somebody told me Newcastle would be an easy win ?"

Well can't argue or complain about anything in that performance

Incriminating pictures of Southgate?

No worse than this one

Sounds like such a Steven Taylor thing to do

Herr Flick did not deliver the Fallen Madonna with the big boobies on time

Well if he has conclusive evidence then it seems a bit harsh, but usually if there's more than one claim against then there's generally something to it which isn't entirely above board. Either way would nit be surprising at all....I reckon it was a three way that went wrong

So 3 on the bounce....quality of opposition or not, Eddie's got to show some of the magic from last season, or questions will be starting to be asked. Early season or not but another few without points and he could be in trouble. Not many managers survive 6 in a row without a win now unless they're called Bruce

Could probably count on two hands the number of times we wore all of those ten kits. There's a few missing though....that one which was mainly black in the centre with silver /grey sides and an extended NTL sponsor. Got a memory of Viana wearing it

2 years ago this window would have been a 20

Understandable as it's not on any of the mainstream channels. Only the ones who understand how to do questionable streaming through vpns and the like can watch it easily....if it got picked up by sky/Amazon/but etc it would start to get a lot more interest here due to the number of good players who have gone there

I think we're about 2 years ahead of their progress at present. Think it took them about 4 years to become genuine title challengers as they gradually improved their infrastructure and commercial side....9th first year, 5th second year, then challenging from 3rd year on. However they didn't have the same restrictions that seem to apply to us, so medium term it will probably take us a bit longer.

I seem to recall villa lot saying they would be all over us this season after the pre-season. Oops

Absolutely agree with this...he could have games where he looked like he'd never even seen a football let alone used one, and the next game he would totally beast mode it and look like a world beater. Problem was you could never tell which version was going to turn up. One week he'd destroy one of the title challengers, then next week against Wigan or the like be an utter embarrassment

If that was all counted games would last about 3 hours

And he isn't actually that minted until his mother passes on and he only has access to interest on his trust fund?

Ok so I look like a dick now ?

Totally is...miles away from everyone, not looking for space or anywhere to actually get on the end of a pass

Barnes looks slow, totally disinterested and is hiding at every chance

Some of the one touch stuff our lot are doing in warm-up is amazing compared to some of the garbage I saw previously...not a single misplaced pass or moment of hesitation

Looks and plays so much like Schaar it's untrue

Why's would you spend 21m instead of waiting a few months, getting a massive signing on fee, a huge wage rise and a league that you would clearly own

Fiorentina rcb is cool as a cucumber
