Was convinced I had missed us have a red card based on our passing/start to the game. I was mistaken

I found the subdued contemplation from the Korean fans unreasonably funny, like

Honestly, as someone who works in sports media, this is such bog standard language when journos are looking to fill word counts

Players look like they're getting in their own heads right now.

I didn't realize how poor our scoring record in the PL at Villa was. No top flight goal there since 2013, good lord.

Took me far longer it should've but Sunderland's keeper looks like a grown up version of Adam Pearson.

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.

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.

Ah well, it's been fun

Bruno getting caught in possession a few times now

The roar of the crowd over the Champions League intro was spine-tingling.

Dean Smith close to joining MLS club Charlotte F.C. Lampard was the second choice apparently...

I love that in the match cam you can hear some random yell "fucking do him" right before Gordon's goal.

The account for the replays got shut down pretty quickly. Saw one game then tried another and account had been suspended

I think because it seems so ordinary, just Mark Viduka making lattes for uni students that wander in

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.

Cucurella

Mudryk with a homage to the 90s bowl cut look I see. He’s been on what, six minutes, and looks gassed already

The last ditch defending (and lack of finishing) is fantastic viewing

Bring Guiseppe Rossi home

The loan spells with no appearances is truly an Ashley-era Newcastle move

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

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.

The handwriting is horrific (mine is just as bad) but the cup is fantastic. I definitely read “beholden” in the 6th point as “bladder”

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.
