  1. I agree with this but some songs are weird. I've never been able to be sure, but I think the Jonas Spiderman song was in 7/8 time
  2. No one should ever forget that we're just a plaything for the 80% part of the ownership and be all 'our owners ' at all imo, but failing that, at least until we end up being successful imo, if that happens. Not trying to be down on it, just heard enough about their other projects to be massively cautious with where this whole thing will go, even without factoring in the human rights issues.
  3. Don't mind anything that's going to make the atmosphere better, clappers aren't really that different to spinning ratchets from years ago, but the your shit ahh thing is embarrassing like, about as Championship as it gets.
  4. Just find Liverpool far more exciting, off the cuff and unpredictable when they're at their best. High risk, high reward sort of thing. They've obviously far, far surpassed it now, but a few years ago when they weren't the finished package and were having to go all out attack to cover for their defensive frailties, they were as close to being a modern day Keegan's Newcastle that I've seen. IIRC Shearer said the same at the time on MOTD. Man City have a lot of in game set plays (if that makes) that you see time and time again that are incredibly effective but I'm bored of seeing and don't find exciting.
  5. I much prefer watching Liverpool, but Man City have a massive strength-in-depth advantage once over Chelsea, twice over Liverpool, and 3 or 4 times over everyone else. Look at the ridiculously small eye of the needle Liverpool threaded 2 seasons running and still only won the league once.
  6. Can anyone think of an example of a team completely revolutionising their lineup in a January (or any) transfer window and it working straight away?
  7. Isn't it literally only us and Arsenal who hadn't had matches postponed until now?
  8. That and that there's something off about them that I can't quite put my finger on. Like they've lost their mojo, not on the same wavelength as each other and generally looking a bit predictable.
  9. Liverpool are being really strange.
  10. It's going to be so much harder to work out which links are genuine.
  11. Mad how Spurs have only scored 3 more goals than us.
  12. Hopefully a bit of a blessing in disguise that it's happened now because not signing a back up in January would have been suicidal.
  13. The West Ham team that went down on 42 points or something was absolutely packed with quality players like.
  14. 2am text from your failure ex.
  15. Thought he was fine, and that's with us all rightfully having a chip on our shoulder at the moment.
  16. Sancho is fucking class, but my God is it obvious they bought him without any joined up thinking as to why he was so good in Dortmund's system.
  17. I'm 100x more comfortable with him in there than anyone else we have, but he still has his moments
  18. He was the one triggering the press and he did it really well. He had a few rabble rousing moments with the crowd which should never be underappreciated at SJP.
  19. I really like what he's doing with what we have like. It gets a bit hairy at times but picking Clark aside I can usually see what he's trying and he absolutely feels like a Newcastle manager imo. His style and our historical style are hand in glove.
  20. Would need to see it again tbh. My general rule with Lascelles is if I didn't notice him he's had a decent game.
  21. Only thing I can fault him for is not hitting the target with his 1 shot. That aside he was almost flawless like.
  22. Rolling back the years Dubravka - 5.5 Krafth - 6 Schar - 7 Lascelles - 7 Manquillo - 7 Shelvey - 7 Longstaff - 7 Joelinton - 9.5 Saint-Maximin - 8 Wilson - 7 Fraser - 8 Murphy - 7.5 Almiron - 7
  23. Definitely saw signs of what made him look good under Rafa. He was absolutely shagged from about 75 minutes though.
  24. Couldn't really fault him tonight. Not really sure where that performance came from.
