Disgusting.

Back in. First half was as poor as I've ever seen us play at St. James'. Apart from the Gayle chance in the first couple of minutes, we offered nowt. They hit the post with their first shot at goal. Lascelles mistake for the first. Second half much better, Ritchie being a massive difference. Got the goal although lucky. Our best move of the game probably being when Ritchie messed up that header. Mbemba mistake for their winner and that finished us. Worrying stuff. The fact that we've lost 2 out of 2 already when last time we lost 4 out of 46 is the main worry for me. Last time we had a nucleus of Premier League players, Nolan, Enrique, Carroll, Coloccini et al. Ritchie aside, who in our current side are of that ilk?

Speaking of that, who is his assistant now? Is it the bloke who came in afterwards, that Mikel Antia? I always thought he was just a coach.

BeIn sometimes have a 3 o'clock Championship game on (they had Forest v Burton last week) but I'm not 100% sure

The fucking state of this

This cunt collapsed and died yet?

Snatchap

The older bloke crying as if he's welcoming back his son from a military tour in Afghanistan

The fuck?

The bold dates we're at home.

It's the only one I thought looked attractive enough for Sky to bother with to be honest. Only other one might have been Cardiff but the rest of our fixtures at that time don't really stand out. If they televise our Boxing Day fixture (Sheff Wed at home) will it be pushed back to a 5:30pm start? I'm hoping to god the Boxing Day game isn't earlier than a 3pm kick off.

What about 4 or 5 nowt?

Off Vice City isn't he?

Same, but Sheffield Wednesday will want much more than £7m for him.

It's creativity in the middle of park which we lacked, both Friday night and last season. On Friday there was no final pass to cut through a poor Fulham defence.

Keep him for the craic. Hoy him in the Monty Magpie suit.

Scunthorpe (a) (2-1) Blackpool (a) (2-1) Derby (a) (3-0) were our only defeats last time.

September, innit? Not sure.

Gayle leading Rafa's counterattacking

Wasn't much to sing about tbf.

Hence why I don't think we'll go up. Honeymoon period well and truly f***ing over as far as I'm concerned. 7000 fans down there on a Friday night and that's what he serves up.... He's had a f***ing whole summer to know Colback, Anita, Dummet aren't up to the job. We need to win around 20 of our home games and 10 away to go up. We'll do it.

Did he not save before the match? FFS Rafa.

This and Villa?
