Dalot being dropped is strange, Phil Jones right back?
-
Especially tonight for some reason (probably the media rhetoric of the tie + love for Messi) - and even more so after seeing some videos of the Mancs in Barcelona cagouled up ready for a fucking scrap our kid.

(Passionately) I'm very happy with your performance today.

No problems with a player coming out and backing his current teammates and manager. Nothing to read into here imo.

My brother is the same, thinks there's no way we'll keep him. He's my favourite player of ours by a long way at the moment It's probably the case that if Benitez stays, Schar will and probably Lascelles too. Must be a dream as a defender to work under the organisation of Rafa, far less chance to be exposed. The best defenders in the world can easily look poor if constantly exposed by those in front of them.

Leicester City 0-1 Newcastle United - 12/04/18

Fans at Leicester -
Aye but he still makes an impact, pushes teams back, provides threat on the break when we're trying to hold onto a result. It's a valuable role imo. Many players would have spat their dummy out at such a bit-part role. Never hear anything negative about him.

TL;DR version: "Mate" "Yeah mate?" "Did we just become best friends?" "Mate"

I like him me. Not many clubs around us have as solid a back up as him on the wings. Has made a real positive impact numerous times this season. Quality squad player, much better than the likes of Adama Traore.

I still like our chances looking at the run in. It’ll go down to the wire.

Unbelievable!

The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Postecoglu told to rack off by Spurs
Infinitely Content replied to cp40's topic in Football
Surprised he doesn't sit on the floor in the dugout with a shrine to Ferguson on his seat. -
He's fantastic, Chelsea far worse without him.
-
Is Hudson-Odoi really all that? I know the commentators are always going to big-up English talents to try and keep the nation behind them, but I don't see this extraordinary player personally. I know he's only 18 like.

Chelsea miss Diego Costa so much. Conte was excellent for them but it was a massive mistake to let him go.
-
Salah diving again. I honestly think diving should equal straight red. Only way to get rid of it within a season.

1-3 Chelsea Mane - Willian (free kick), Hazard brace

City will win the league like. Liverpool are good but they're not City-good.
-
And most painfully for them, Newcastle are looking fine and dandy for another year of Premier League football, with unwavering support for a manager who breaks every stereotype they have about us.

Ayozé Pérez (now playing for Villarreal)

Think he's just a very good instinctual finisher, and if there's an area for him to work on that would move him up a notch as a player, it would be his composure. When he has time to think he is slightly prone to errors. Work on that side of his game and he'd be playing in the Champions League nee bother. -
Reece James on loan from Chelsea at Wigan looks a very good player.
-
Same here, used to love watching Pards for them when I was 2. Proper footballer.
-
That Ben Yedder/Munir frontline has potential to be very pleasing on the eye. Been a big fan of Ben Yedder since his Toulouse days and really want Munir to kick on and fulfil his potential.

Difficult to argue with the numbers - we probably are the 7th best side over that period. In fairness some of the earlier games were quite bizarre and so often we were just a rub of the green or a wrong decision from registering more points, so overall we should probably be top ten. Our recruitment over the last year or so, while typically unspectacular, has been very shrewd indeed and overall much more positive than many clubs who way outspent us and that was probably a point Rafa was getting across last night in a really positive and clever interview. Even against the top clubs in those first half dozen games we were maybe one moment in the game from a result. Yep, Man Utd away is probably the most glaring of all, but Spurs, Chelsea, Brighton and even Cardiff away, where we were awful, we could easily have had more points board. Then there's Wolves home and away, Man Utd home and many others where it was an very fine margin from gaining and extra point or two. I'm not implying we were always the better side in those games, just that we were very, very close to better results. Mad to think that if we had got the wins over Wolves which we arguably deserved, we'd be 3 points above them. I know it's pretty useless to think in those terms, but just shows the small margins this season, where Wolves have been considered a success and we have struggled by many accounts.

Fancy Cardiff for that, have more fight about them in what will not be a pretty game.
