Kid Icarus

Souness is the bitterest bloke going where Newcastle's concerned. Flat out refuses to accept that he was an absolutely dog shit manager so instead leans on well-worn clichés about fan expectations that he knows all of the know-nothing pundits and fans around the country will lap up. Same goes for Allardyce.

Would still take a draw if Tielemens is playing.

It doesn't help that fact checker sites aren't really reliable in terms of being trusted sources either.

Something really weird about that Jiminez red card. Hopefully it's just that he's been a fucking idiot.

It's an absolute stonewall penalty

Also the nature of the result crushes Watford's spirit and confidence a little bit too. Nothing worse than being so close to a win and then ending up not even getting a draw.

Not exactly desperate for it to be a draw like Carra. Being a win away from Watford in 17th rather than a win and a draw is still good.

Brentford pen. Would also take that

Draw would be ideal. Can definitely see Brentford getting dragged into it later in the season

Weird how long that took, it was obvious.

Comfortably onside surely?

Let's see the VAR, but 1-1

11 points between 4th and 17th

Him having a good work rate elsewhere still doesn't mean he had it here. Every other player gets pelters for not putting in the work. Even in exactly the same season a player who put in much more effort than him (Sissoko) was criticised for not putting in enough, yet Wijnaldum got away with it for some weird reason. His away performances were about as anonymous as it gets, Jermaine Jenas had more of a spine.

Absolutely guarantee that most of the people on here will be exactly the same a couple of years after tasting a bit of success, if it comes. Not even a shadow of a doubt in my mind.

What a goal

Wonder if he still disappears during every away game

Before you try to go to sleep tonight imagine him not breaking eye contact with you while taking his new leather driving gloves off one finger at a time, his lips pursed.

Incoming

The proof will be in the pudding but the only relevant standout I see there is Paratici at Spurs unless I've missed anyone? Still completely night and day from the Ashley era of course.

Hattrick against Sunderland will probably get you there but I never liked him personally. He was good playing as a second striker but an atrocious midfielder. Carroll was so dominant during that time that he made Nolan and especially Barton look much better than they were without him.

Yeah, would be good to see, cheers.

No they don't. Overnight? Howeh, it's been 2 and a half months. If they're the right company to bring in, have experience with other clubs, or specialise in sport/football, absolutely fair enough though. I think I'm just programmed to read consultant and shudder because in my own experience they've always been unbelievably inenpt The Apprentice wankers.

Maybe I'm just programmed to think of it like this, but having all the money in the world and spunking it on outsourcing to some private 'specialist' recruitment firm who almost certainly aren't the best option available is about as Tory as it gets.
