Wolfcastle

Bread and butter, day at the office, matter of factly dispatched - top club style. With the CL ahead. Shame there's so much gunk in the league this season as these grotty bring nothing bores arses could do with refinding their level again

He was a Newcastle fan mind. Obviously became a Manchester United fan after spending most of his life there as you would. So i never held any ill will against him at all. Not much different to KK or someone with us really. Maradona, Cruyff, Pele and Charlton in short order really. That's the whole facials of legends on the ball on ITV's 1990 World Cup intro except Beckenbauer.

Scrappy Doo would have made more sense, since that's both their style of play and a description of their stadium

Was perfectly placated with the win and goals what with Palace being as insignificant a club as there is, but knowing how much it'll bother those tossers is the cherry on the icing on the cake.

Genuinely was going to bracket those two with (whatever we think of them for us, look at their list). Career wise comparing either to Cattermole and Ball is an insult but just for us yeah it'd be tricky to argue as better than their list but certainly they'd be in it. *also Ki isn't better than Ki, about equal I'd say.

Even the Ashley era centre midfield had Cabaye, Willock, Merino, Longstaff, Wijnaldum, Barton, Nolan, Tiote, Sissoko, Shelvey, Diame, Butt, Smith and their boy Ki. Could make a case that every one of them was better than what they've come up with.

Wonder if he finishes his wrestling matches the same way he finishes his football management jobs, with the million dollar dream.

Even then they've only really got gates of note since 97/98, their biggest average in the 30years prior was 31k and most were below 20k. Were again going back to the mid60s which appears to be where they ceased being a big club other than in memory. It doesn't really warrant compare with ourselves in that area. Only three times since the mid 30s has our average gate been below 20k aside from all the other one sided attendance stats. If there was a way I could agree whilst making it clear I think there's no comparison with us.

As long as they hold on to 2025. Want to be able to say then that they've a worse league (and cup) record than Wimbledon (a club that hasn't existed for 20years) in the last 40years. Its more rounded than now, rolls of the tongue easier and more chance of sticking.

Saudia James Park I could live with, rolls of the tongue and the oodles of filthy hard cash helps

Seen somebody on there point out that Saudi Arabia and Yemen are not at war (almost couldn't be further from the truth of the matter) adding "you're not the only one I've had to explain that too" - that's the problem with having Exile as your unchallenged middle-east correspondent.

Its a wonder why they don't simply deploy their inbuilt super power of being able to humble and intimidate a mag, anywhere in the world, into submission with a single intellectual line or steely glare instead of asking their own manager out for a fight, glassing their owner, missile throwing towards rival fans and players and spitting at their own players. Must just hold that back for special occasions.

Being human and life aren't easily addressed, mitigation like this is far from meaningless.

Apropos of nothing really don't know how many stopped back long enough to catch the regular post match playing of "We Wish You Well" by Whitesnake back in 93/94. It really fit a calm after the storm feeling of the atmosphere in those days and as you headed home - being the last thing you'd hear there but was there some link to Keegan tailing off many interviews of the time saying "wish you well"? Just whenever I hear it, I always wonder that.

The goal is completely on Lascelles for me. Pope had to come otherwise it was a simple square pass once Schar had to come over and a tap in - better than a one on one situaton. To percentage wise was worth the risk of a chance of getting there or at least putting some pressure on the forward who otherwise was under none. People would have lambasted him for not coming then.

Like what the players and manager have done has bought them no time or benefit of the doubt at all.

The amount of times people seem gagging to slag off half the team and the manager despite the amount of times they're shit support and opinions are shown up (they were at a game we ended up winning 8-0 ffs) is galling.

In total charge. Like turning a tugboat around when you've had no possession all game and now trail.

again, like on Wednesday and the last month your support is wretched

Would have been worth signing McTominay just to avoid that.

And we've got Pearson.

Sheffield United next for Man United. No win situation perhaps as it wont prove any corners have been turned but no doubt Ten Hag will play that card. Imagine if it goes the other way though. He'll definitely be gone then.

"Mackems in home defeat - crowd trouble, police's fault shocker" Fans Throwing stuff at opposition thread "why?" asks the OP" "Running to the home corner of the oppositions stadium to celebrate." Oh well that's fully justified then. Should have ran to the other end and climbed up to the top tier to celebrate with their own fans.

Must be the third or fourth time alone this season they've got carried away by a few results and been brought back down to earth in humiliating style. The neurotic numbskulls never learn. Feels like wins in that fixture must be 9 in 10 to Boro for decades. Bit like pre Ashley NUFC.

Another Ohno!na mistake for Man U apprently.
