  1. Honestly, as someone who works in sports media, this is such bog standard language when journos are looking to fill word counts
  2. Players look like they're getting in their own heads right now.
  3. I didn't realize how poor our scoring record in the PL at Villa was. No top flight goal there since 2013, good lord.
  4. Took me far longer it should've but Sunderland's keeper looks like a grown up version of Adam Pearson.
  5. I kind of assumed it was the drugs/supplements they were taking now but it seems to happen more than other sports where that would ostensibly happen as well.
  6. I feel this could very much be a "back in my day" take, but I honestly don't remember players collapsing on the pitch until Marc-Vivien Foe? I could be totally wrong but this seems to be happening more often and I'm curious what the reason behind it is.
  7. Bruno getting caught in possession a few times now
  8. The roar of the crowd over the Champions League intro was spine-tingling.
  9. Dean Smith close to joining MLS club Charlotte F.C. Lampard was the second choice apparently...
  10. I love that in the match cam you can hear some random yell "fucking do him" right before Gordon's goal.
  11. The account for the replays got shut down pretty quickly. Saw one game then tried another and account had been suspended
  12. I think because it seems so ordinary, just Mark Viduka making lattes for uni students that wander in
  13. The whole interview comes across as "it's not really my fault" and that he hasn't learned a single thing from any of these events. It did remind me that Mark Viduka now owns and runs a coffee shop, which I find slightly hilarious.
  14. Mudryk with a homage to the 90s bowl cut look I see. He’s been on what, six minutes, and looks gassed already
  15. The last ditch defending (and lack of finishing) is fantastic viewing
  16. Bring Guiseppe Rossi home
  17. The loan spells with no appearances is truly an Ashley-era Newcastle move
  18. I’m not sure about *definitely* but when I passed through there a few years ago about this time, Flanagan’s had all the PL games on and specifically advertised game showings

    Football podcasts

    I've listened to some other teams' Athletic podcasts and even the bad ones are miles ahead of Pod on the Tyne. It desperately needs the Old Yeller treatment.
  20. The handwriting is horrific (mine is just as bad) but the cup is fantastic. I definitely read “beholden” in the 6th point as “bladder”
  21. That and our federation being broke contributed to the move as well. Gotta love an FA that says “we’re broke” then immediately tried to backtrack that.

    Loan Watch (2023/24)

    Nice to see Ashby hit the ground running after his injury woes
  23. Yeah, MLS has been running a tournament with LIga MX. There were some dumb rules: draws were decided by penalty shootouts with the winner getting an extra point and the loser getting just a single point for the draw, Mexican teams couldn’t play in Mexico, if you played a home game against a Mexican side, they were seen as the home team.
