My gut (and probably optimistic) feeling is that he'll get a McClaren sized budget next year but unfortunately Ashley will still be at the club. That's not a god awful scenario but f***ing hell do I hope I'm wrong and we get taken over.

This guy seems like he's taken the divorce well. https://twitter.com/MagpieChannel/status/972845182042374146

Aye, I think so. Murty's done a good job so far.

Class start in the Old Firm.

He's very solid defensively, like. Thought he did ok last week as well. Since he's come back from injury really. The attempt at a touch towards the end of the game at 3-0 was embarrassing though.

Not sure why some were getting so triggered by meaningless possession. They didn't trouble us at all by that point, or all game, tbh.

Fantastic win and performance. Was amazed at how bad Southampton are, they have some decent players. I personally rate Lemina but he had an absolute shocker and was hooked at half time. Nee one put a foot wrong today, Gayle should've probably had a couple of goals but he put a good shift in so don't want to get on his back too much. 2 goals and 2 assists in his last 4 so good stuff. Kenedy was superb, would love to to get him permanently in the summer. And I say this trough gritted teeth as he almost always fucks us over, but I thought Marriner had a decent game. We'll stop up. 2 more wins? We'll do it.

It's sat next to Crumpy though, mind. Been difficulty shifting it. We're going to smash these.

There's literally 1 seat left on the ticket site, L4 of the Leazes End.

In advance of Saturday; Shane Long. Hate that cunt. Would be decent if Lascelles could put his leg in 3 post codes on Saturday if he plays.

Allegri gets the subs spot on.

Yessssssss

Get in.

:lol: State of that non decision. Fuck off.

Whilst most of this may be accurate. I live in Liverpool and there has been literally f*** all mentioned about our politically ironic chants. I feel although it is abit sad and cringey, it's some of our snowflake support that have brought this into the limelight on social media, particularity twitter. It's certainly not LFC fans complaining, or atleast not to the degree some of our fans are. Seen a few big LFC fan accounts and some LFC journalists talk about it on Twitter. Glad that they're on the whole not bothered about it though. Point still stands about our away support though. Can totally see why older fans pack in going away other than for smaller allocations.

There was a thread on here iirc about the same issue about a year ago. There's younger fans (like me actually, probably between about 15 to about 21) who see travelling away from home as an opportunity to get utterly shitfaced on drink and/or drugs, winding home fans up, singing s*** songs like "don't take me home", "is this a library" et cetera rather than actually supporting Newcastle United. I was a mess away at Man City after a day on the drink in Manchester but I wasn't causing any bother, provoking home fans, just singing and supporting NUFC which is what it should be about: following us away from home with your mates, a few pints before and after, celebrate/moan after the game with your mates on the way home. The "sign on" and "stereo" chants are a pure cringe, not only because of the actual figures of unemployment and crime in Liverpool and Newcastle respectively, but because the North East was actually hit much harder by Thatcher than Liverpool was. The fanbases of NUFC and LFC are similar, both working class Labour voting cities which revolve around the football clubs, have awfully distinguishable accents and have had periods of relative greatness in the past. The chants on Saturday were embarrassing and were very much likely to be that group of morons aged 15 to 21 trying to get a reaction from the Liverpool fans, which is very weird as they had just applauded the anti Ashley chants. Have to laugh because it's so fatuous.

Good.

Aye, we were embarrassing against Watford. We created chances in both halves against Burnley at home. I don't think we were the better side against Leicester mind, they bossed the midfield that day. Brighton was just a boring game though we had the clearer chances. Bournemouth we should've scored at least 1 in the first half; Gayle had a goal wrongly disallowed.

Think this whole discussion on what is and isn't must win has been blown a bit out of proportion like. Saturday is a very winnable fixture against an underachieving Southampton side whom we should've beaten away from home if not for a lapse in concentration from Lejeune, who could've actually redeemed himself by winning the game with a header off the line late on. It's the definition of a 6 pointer, 16th v 17th. We're at home. We should be looking to win the game. Southampton are a side who have won 1 league game in 16, which was against West Brom. Are we down if we fail to win? No. Would it make our lives a lot easier in securing survival if we won? Aye. We need 3 more wins imo. This game is one of my 3 I looked at and thought win, trebled with the Huddersfield and West Brom games. We've also got Arsenal who are dire at the moment, Everton who are looking dreadful, Chelsea who may well be on the beach by the time we play them and so may Watford and Leicester. Fanbase needs to stick together atm and just get this horrible slog of a season over with.

Benzema's shite.

What a fucking idiot.
