Kid Icarus

Definitely mate, second half wasn't as good

Okay Olly, don't spoil it by swearing on your children's lives

Also, sidenote, Howe knows a player when he sees one. Guehi was excellent. Pickford: 7 Walker: 7 Stones: 7.5 Guehi: 9 Trippier: 7 Shaw: 7 Rice: 7 Mainoo: 8 Bellingham: 7.5 Foden: 8 Palmer: 8 Saka: 8 Kane: 6.5 Watkins: ehhhh 10

The amount of whiteys tonight will be unreal

Oh my fucking god. Heard the both neighbours scream laughing when I did. Step up Mr Oliver Watkins, fucking hell. What a finish, textbook from him in that position. Brummie must be absolutely buzzin, I know I would be so proud. Brilliant, didn't think it would end in the 90 but so good. Better again from the last match. Spain are playing better than us, no question, but to get to another final seeing what I've seen over the years is absolutely remarkable. I invite all of the haters to eat my entire arse.

Ian Wright thinks people who turn down international duty should ring up the families of dead soldiers and tell them why. I really like him and I take the point, but when it comes to England he's about as biased as we've got.

Can see it tbf, it's definitely in the same bracket

No one thinks it is. It's not PSG bad, but it's not far off

True, so did we, and cleared off the line. Good game shit decision aside.

That reminds me, remind me that I want to hear more Michael Jordan stories from you.

Or 1-1 in another way, without a shit decision. We've been the better team so far, just wish we were level in another way.

Actually think Kane has looked much more himself. Foden finally, finally looks like Foden.

Hate being level with that pen, but pleased we're still playing like we're behind. Easily the best 45 we've put in so far.

It's not our fault

Feels like when the lad who owns the ball says it's a goal or he's going home

That's not on like, don't care if it benefits us

That's ridiculous

That's not a pen. Come on

Weirdly not even nervous. Not arrogance or anything, just a bit of a que sera feeling

Nature is healing 🙏

100% sure, it's what made Crumpy's post so needlessly shit. https://newcastle-online.org/topic/31963-george-michael-has-died/?do=findComment&comment=5541279

Overpaying and poor transfers being under Woodward or not are by-the-by imo, but if only the Woodward signings count then I didn't notice any difference in the club's approach to overspending on transfers (until Radcliffe came in) and your perception of it. Like I said, Casemiro was just the easiest, most recent example to remember, but with a bit more effort I could have found similar posts excusing the outlay for Pogba, Lukaku, Fred, Maguire, Sancho and others for any number of reasons. And you could say 'well it's all easy to say with hindsight' which is right, but the criticism and piss-taking on here was literally with foresight, not just hindsight. The transfers were criticised for one reason or another at the time they happened. IIRC you've used hindsight to excuse overspending as well - that the money you in the end managed to get back on players you overspent on made the original spend more justifiable. One of them is you defending the transfer just over 2 months ago. You do, that's why it's so jarring when you reflexively defend the club when we criticise it, often with exactly the same criticisms you have. It's not meant to be a character assassination or anything, cba with any of that, it's just something that sticks out like a sore thumb, to me at least, because on the one hand you've defended the club's overspending if we 've taken the piss, but then on the other hand you'll criticise that same overspending yourself and play the 'fans of a club owned by Mike Ashley should know better' card when, while you're lamenting it, we still think it's really funny.

It was George Michael you absolute fraud
