Kid Icarus

FFP doesn't dictate that all of those signs would need to be up there like they are with SD though, no? I agree if it's just one, or it's smattered around the place tastefully, but if it's purely like-for-like it's absolutely shit imo and I'll hate it as much as I hated all the SD shite being plastered everywhere. Let's hope it's not.

Possibly an extreme example, but if the big SD signs in the Leazes, Gallowgate, and either side of Newcastle United are just replaced with Visit Saudi (just for example) that's going to be sound with everyone because it'll be paid for? That's hugely eyeopening for me tbh, I always thought the fact Ashley didn't pay for it was a secondary issue to the fact it made SJP look cheap and shit.

It depends on what your main issue with it was I guess. This takeover has definitely shown me that what I thought were the main gripes issues with what Ashley had done to our club and its history and heritage weren't as universally shared as I thought. The fact Ashley didn't pay for his tat emporium sponsorship was purely a side issue for me and until recently I thought most people felt that way too tbh.

Was never the main problem for me personally. Ashley could have paid the going rate and I'd have still been dead against how tacky it all looked and how it pretty much ruined SJP.

If they're all just replaced with one other company the point has been completely missed like.

That's surely from when they were put up? The light and the sky doesn't look like the weather today.

Looking forward to telling my brother in law he's talking shite

I said to him that it didn't seem like it was like, but he's absolutely adamant that he didn't talk like that at the open mic nights. Wouldn't even dislike him for it anyway tbh, I do exactly the same thing depending on who I'm talking to.

I like Sam Fender and have absolutely no way of knowing whether this is true but my brother in law can't stand him because he used to work open mic nights at Barca in Gosforth and reckons the Geordie accent he has now is massively put on.

Thiago might be my favourite player in the league now. Absolutely love watching him just casually knocking it about, the effortless through balls, his silky dribbling style, everything. Class player to watch.

Feel like he's not playing all that well but that it seems more like it just needs to click for him rather than the quality not being there.

I didn't know there was ever a debate over it tbh. HBA was by far the better, more naturally talented player, but that's not really a criticism of ASM.

Cringe

I always fancy us against Man United at home

Only 2 games but he looks the part

Exemplifies everything Howe seems to be looking for from everyone. Honestly plays like a silky DM that's just in a different position.

Rolling back the years with this post: Dubravka - 6 Manquillo - 5 Schar - 5 Lascelles - 7 Lewis - 7 Shelvey - 6 Willock - 5 Almiron - 6 Saint-Maximin - 7 Joelinton - 7.5 Wilson - 7

Never in doubt!

I think we can all be fairly confident that at least another goal's going to be needed.

It was a great finish but I think he's only been okay overall otherwise. Agree that he can get more with better service though

Joelinton and ASM looking like the only PL players on the pitch tbh.

Is this ref taking the fucking piss?

Imo this is a weird case of him being a good shit poster who people think is being serious, and him coming across as weird enough to do something like that seriously so it being understandable that people would think he's being serious.
