Kid Icarus

Pleased in a way that they've done this so we can all stop with any pretense about who they're catering for and what their intentions are.

Bit early for the pre-derby bounce isn't it?

Laugh or burn, take your pick

There's no smoke without fire

Burn will get back in when needed like, and what a back up to have. Easy to forget that he's actually a CB

The Southampton fan on Loaded Mag said that we wouldn't be getting him because he was destined for the very top right now, but we were a few years off. He absolutely raved about him and then when we signed him, came back on and basically said we'd signed a star.

Trippier is probably the best out and out right back in the world at the moment but where Mbappe, Sterling, Leao, and both Hernandez's failed, somebody Cirkin, whoever he is, will succeed.

Don't think I've ever had a wildcard work so well for me as the one I did in October this season like. Managed to go from 50 points behind and bottom to 30 points clear at the top, pushing for top 10 in the N-O league as well.

Wolves 2 v 0 Burnley Luton 0 v 3 Arsenal Brighton 2 v 1 Brentford Palace 1 v 1 Bournemouth Fulham 2 v 1 Forest Sheff United 0 v 5 Liverpool Villa 1 v 3 Man City Man United 1 v 1 Chelsea Everton 1 v 2 Newcastle Spurs 3 v 1 West Ham

It's mad like, only just into December and we've already played this lot Man City x2 PSG x2 Borussia Dortmund x2 Man United x2 Arsenal Liverpool AC Milan Villa Brighton Chelsea W: 7 D: 2 L: 5 GF: 22 GA: 13

Honestly, I'm sure it was actually his peak for us, Championship aside

I can't remember exactly how many players out we had, but under Roeder when we were playing Huntington and Pattison, with IIRC Shola playing with a fucked hip is the worst I can remember before this.

It was only a month ago but it's still no less boring like, Man United being shit against good teams shouldn't be news anymore.

For us to be in a better position than at this point last season when it should be a right off is a miracle like. I said a couple of weeks ago that this is the worst injury crisis I've ever seen at Newcastle and that was before Willock and Pope got injured.

Just been looking at our fixtures there and so hard have our matches been that of the remaining 24 matches only 11 of them are against top half teams, only 4 of those are at home, and we only have 6 more matches against Champions League level/challenging opposition. We're 7 points up on our home form last season with 8 points still to potentially improve upon. If our away form stays a bit shakey (we're -2 on last season) that might come in very useful.

Remember when he forgot that we experience time linearly and Martin Keown had to explain it to him.

Tsimikas absolutely clatters that Fulham player for the winner like. Can't believe no one's saying anything about that.

All about staying in contention with the pack until we get players back imo, don't mind too much what other teams are doing right now.

You, Stuart Pearce, and a few other people I reckon

Loved that Nasty Boys style splattered paint one yous had a couple of years back

That prison food coloured Spurs top might be the worst I've ever seen.

Villa are like that as well to an extent, as are Man United and any other team that dares to threaten the mighty Newcastle.

That match didn't feel right to me mind. I don't even feel like Spurs really exposed vulnerabilities, they themselves were really poor I thought and Man City got complacent every time they went ahead.

They just have to have their moment don't they?

Earlier in the match the ref played advantage when Man City played it back into their own half
