Mackems losing. They'll still win.

Just seen that clip of Jonathan Hogg's red card last week again. Just dawned on me how much he looks like Tommy Robinson in it.

What?!

I think it looked that way because our ball retention particularly in the second half was really poor. We seemed to turnover the ball almost as soon as we got it due to inaccurate hoofs so there was no chance to exploit their defence.

Not watching it but one of the comments was we probably wanted Chelsea to win because of the way we set up.

Agreed but 3 or so quality additions under Rafa, I think we'd be pushing them. About top 8 imo.

Problem is that we aren't worth £400m. Ashley has quoted that price because he thinks no one will pay it as he doesn't really want to sell. If someone came in and put £400m on the table though, he'd probably shit himself. But my worry is he'll shift the goalposts again and try and milk as much from a sale as possible, try and get a feeling that he's 'winning' the deal. God, he's such a vile cunt.

pls jim

This Twitter thread and this guy might be what you're looking for regarding this.

The difference was the players' ball retention against Chelsea and last season against Man City was really, really poor. Was much better against Man Utd who we beat, Arsenal who we beat and Liverpool who we drew against. Chelsea last season was the definition of a dead rubber with everyone knowing Conte was gone so I've hated the comparisons to that game to the one this season people have made so I'm not going to include that. The problem is not the approach/tactics.

More wins against the top six last season than Liverpool, same amount as Chelsea and more points than Arsenal. Should be having a go though, it's embarrassing and the players will be embarrassed. Would much rather lose 5-4 in those games.

Rafa going 10-0-0 Revolutionising the modern game. You're paying a Spanish man's wages.

What absolute bollocks that article is. Craig Hope is a bit weird at times, like.

Didn't sign off the post with 'C'MON TOONS!'. Disappointing.

This is Newcastle-Online. That is exactly what we should be doing.

Last time we're on for while. Not on until October and late November. Thank God.

Aguero and no idea. Man City away in the league has been on TV 4 of the last 6 trips. Aggregate score of 25-3. Mainly down to Pards, licky lips and the carpet retail blogger.

Would bite your hand off if you offered a draw now. To get anything we need copious luck. Silva and Aguero whom usually have field days against us need to play poorly and we need to put in minimum 10/10 performances. It just won't happen. We won't get humiliated though. Rafa will see to that. We were decent I thought at the Etihad last season, though it was a tough watch at times. Which is what this will be.

Won't be as atrocious as last night but definitely a damage limitation job. Won't be pretty. Defeat by 2 goals.

Aye, should've sunk last season and Rafa should've been sacked.

In stupidity scale that's about the same as saying the victim of domestic violence is just as much to blame for staying in the relationship as the abuser. It’s not like It is like. They arent helping get rid of him but to say they are to blame for it is idiotic. They all deserve Pardew as well iirc.

I don't think relegation will spell the end either. I think he'll just "loan" the club more money increasing its debt even further, for transfers etc, have a manager who is an utter mong but ok enough at Championship level bring us back up and the cycle starts again.

A bent decision aside a 1-2 win would've been ridiculously undeserved. That performance was absolutely lifting. Utterly rancid.

At least we won't have to watch us attempt penalties.

Spot on.
