Kid Icarus

I can't believe that he chose to live in Paris, playing and learning from Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe, when he could have come to Newcastle and played and learned from Wilson and Wood. What a mug. Being serious, he is seriously daft if he thought he was going to start though. And his agent sounds like a bellend.

Fair enough

Literally everything being said is an ahistorical, incoherent, inconsistent load of shite like. Fucking hell, it's actually impressive

With all due respect, I think anyone who's seen your working out can understand how you might get to that conclusion like, but both the working out and the conclusion are deranged imo.

It wouldn't surprise me if we end up with AI VAR like.

Football clubs are limited to players from their city/surrounding area. Who has the best team in the league? Who's the best team in the world?

Rafa single-handedly made me properly appreciate and then eventually enjoy watching defending. Something that I thought would be impossible for the previous 20ish years of watching football.

I'm 99.9% sure Kenedy never played as a wing back. We didn't have the quality to allow for any passengers in our XI either, they were all extremely hard working and had to be

Aye...under Rafa, you're arguing against your own point.

Even if you want to ignore what he's done elsewhere (presumably because it doesn't help your point, Kenedy's peak was with us under Rafa. It's an incredibly weak argument to be making like.

Are you out of your mind? Of all the things to throw at Rafa, that's the last.

Didn't that trio do relatively well at Villa for a while? @brummie

Worth watching the Watford fan on loaded mag from the summer. He speaks well and talks very highly of Joao Pedro

They could have done a lot worse tbf.

He can go anywhere he wants and I'll always want him to do well providing it's never at our expense like. It's at the point now where he's probably one of the most underrated managers out there.

Keep going, talk me down

If they lose away to another lower table team I'll feel a lot better about it. Hadn't even noticed how favourable their remaining games are.

I didn't even notice them then they just sneak up at the last week. Their fixtures are so easy on paper

I wish I hadn't

Clark and Cole has always struck me as a funny friendship like. Their personalities seem canny different

Probably the difference in track records tbf, but I remember the Clark thing hanging around him for a while, albeit I was 10

4 games, not to mention he was subbed for the back chat in the first place, but I think you might be working backwards from a conclusion a bit here

From the horse's mouth like, don't think Bez gains anything from making it up. Bez didn’t play for the rest of the season.

Keegan bollocked both of them, threatening to sell Clark, dropping Beresford, never speaking to him again while he was manager, and then bringing it up with him years later ("You're not going to tell me to fuck off are you?") It was just as big a deal then imo. I'm sure Howe will deal with it.

The only thing I would say about Villa is that they haven't played a genuinely decent team for 2 months (which they lost understandably to Arsenal and Man City). Their Chelsea result was good, but Chelsea are obviously shit this season
