Harry Kane is quite good.

You have to trust Rafa in regards to the Aarons thing. He not only sees him regularly in training, he also will have watched carefully his good display against Notts Forest. For him to still not give him a run out after that suggests to me he is lacking something to start matches. I think the best he can be for us this season is an impact sub, with Ritchie and Atsu seemingly streets ahead of him in terms of starting a game and staying disciplined to the managers instructions.

The league that is won yearly by foreign managers...

Javier Manquillo

Looking forward to Atl Madrid v Chelsea like, some great head to heads all over the pitch & in the dugout.

Couldn't watch the game as I was away filming in Spain, so could someone fill me in on his display and what we do going forward? Joselu starts next game? Gayle? (hold up play and general involvement in the game seriously worries me, good finisher or not). Mitrovic? IMO next in line if Joselu is having a bad patch/can't find the net for what ever reason.

Good point, he seems a pretty switched on guy as well like. All he has to do is look at Cabaye et al, not the worst place in the world to be for a player, Newcastle. Especially now we have a real coach.

I suppose they are quite strong in that area, Weigl seems talented plus with Sahin and now Dahoud too. Oh well, happy to benefit from it.

Makes you wonder why Dortmund didn't fancy him? Or maybe he was never given the chance to show what he can do there as he has been given here. I read an interview with him where he said he felt undervalued at Dortmund whereas he has been very welcomed here, and I think seemingly small, human things like that can have a profound effect on a player in games and in training.

He's predominately right footed, but with him being a ball playing defender he seems competent enough using either. If he can develop his left foot further I think we have our left back sorted for the season - who would have thought it...

Yeah I believe it was, one of the first half chances. It's one of the positives to having a right footed player at left back, he can turn in field and comfortably look to the play the ball forward, just as Ritchie does so effectively on the right.

Lazaar plays for them

Pamplona is a nice place, the city walls right on the outskirts of the modern city centre are definitely a sight to behold. This magician being from there has made me grow even fonder.

Not really, but not helped by news of a Gene Simmons lookalike and a Paraphilic infantilism sufferer getting arrested whilst trying to climb on the roof of Leazes Terrace lugging a sound system. :lol:

Where states that? Would be interested to see as the terms have been a bit ambiguous amongst fans since he signed.

I presume so, an appearance is an appearance. It may or may not include cup games as well, hard to know really.

15 left I think. He came on against Spurs late on and has started our other 4 league games. Assuming he doesn't get injured or dropped, he'll be our player before the end of the year.

Sums up the guy tbh.

'Jam Toast of the Toon' ffs BBC

Southampton played some good football at the beginning of this game and then it kind of balanced out. Reckon Palace will start to look a bit more solid under Hodgson but I personally feel they have a lot of poor players for this level. Relegation favourites their fans seem to think.

That third goal by Aguero was brilliant

Can't believe we've ended up with this lad like. Had a positive feeling about the signing but f*** me he's exceeded expectations already. Nice to have some real competition and Shelvey now actually has to work for his spot.

You're trying to rinse me before I can even get started on here. Up the hill backwards in the words of Bowie.

Ooooh....love a bit of scandal....Hmm, has a College Dropout feel to it....but he has't left has he? I think I signed up on here a few year ago and didn't really post before forgetting about my account... about to be reminded I'm sure.
