Could be worse, the bar I'm in couldn't find the match so instead of seeing the first five minutes of the game I got the joy of watching a Turkish soap opera dubbed into Albanian. This is unbelievably shit. The SD, the match is alreet. Probably the biggest game of the night and they'd rather show Celtic getting torn a new one and Man United win 1 or 2-0 against fucking Basel.

Having to watch Barca v Juventus in standard definition as BT would rather show fucking Man United.

The Europa League games were the only decent thing of that 2012/13 season. Love European nights.

Hull were unmitigated w*** that day. I still don't believe you're 16 I bet you knew plenty about w*** at 16. Aye, his dad taught him That escalated quickly.

They tried to convince themselves Merino is shit yet?

Hull were unmitigated wank that day.

Gayle's isn't much better. Can't remember it. Probably a good thing.

Have we ever been as solid defensively as we have under Rafa? My dad thinks this is the strongest he's seen a Newcastle team defensively, so well organised and drilled, and he's been going since the 70s.

Sky's new pre match graphics. Luckily the only shit one we have is Ayoze's, but some or them are pure .

I'm for them showing the 3 o clocks. Would happily pay an extra fee to have the ability to watch all of our games.

In my lifetime, probably when we beat Spurs 2-3 at White Hart Lane in 2006/07. Given Ramage Taylor Huntington Pattison Solano Butt Milner Dyer Martins Sibierski EDIT: Or any team in 2014/15.

"Television viewers will be able to watch live coverage of any midweek Sky Bet Championship match under a revolutionary five-year, £600 million deal between Sky TV and the EFL. Details of the agreement for 2019-2024, which the EFL communicated to its 72 members clubs last night, are due to be announced today. The value of the right has increased by 36% from the present £88m a year deal and the new arrangements will allow far greater access for fans to live coverage of EFL matches. The impact will be felt this season as Sky will be able to screen some midweek Championship matches immediately. From next season the broadcaster can show every midweek match via its interactive service so that viewers can choose which game to watch. There are eight full midweek rounds of Championship matches so there will be regular head to head clashes with Champions League matches being shown on BT Sport. In another development, clubs in the Championship, League One, and League Two will be allowed to stream live on their website all of their matches kicking off outside the Saturday 3pm window, apart from those being shown live on Sky. Sky will have the option to screen up to 150 EFL games each season, not including those on the interactive service. The 15 play-off matches and 15 League Cup matches are also part of Sky's package, as are the semi finals and final of the Checkatrade Trophy. The EFL's decision to offer a choice of matches to the armchair viewer, especially for the midweek rounds, is likely to be discussed by the Premier League chairmen next month when they discuss strategy for their next TV deal, which is expected to be finalised early next year."

Please, tell us more.

What happened? Someone managed to do a Diame?

Cabaye.

Aye. Doubt we'll see ginge in the team for a while as well. No matter how much we can argue about one player being good enough et cetera et cetera, but these lads will always give 100% every game while wearing the shirt and it was only 18 months ago when we had a squad that didn't. All down to Rafa, that.

Hope we stuff them when they come to SJP in October.

Then we beat the 2 teams after Brighton by 2 and by 6.

That "mag in peace" on there, man. What a complete wanker.

Cracking post. I concur.

Quality, that. Seems he can see past the bullshit, fair play to him. Gone way up in my estimation.

Hope he's right and it clicks for him.
