Kid Icarus

That was so fucking good If Wood had scored that chance at the end man

Think we've been much the better team, Villa have had nothing remotely close to the Longstaff, Miggy, and Penalty chances. Wilson probably should have stayed onside too.

Good half of football considering Villa's game plan. Think we've handled it well and stayed in the driving seat. Hopefully a more controlled, fluid second half from us but the lads have been up to the task so far despite the type of game it's been.

The lad on the right seems to be the only one with any sense

Shame he's not on the bench, was hoping the people who'd left him in would pay for it with a 2 minute appearance at the end

Alright, it's just that this was the context. If you were making two separate points fair enough

Good on him

If I have fair enough, but I think all you can take from that is that there's demand for tickets.

Didn't say you did. WM did though

'People buying tickets for a cup match means we they'd all be fine with moving away from St James' Park' is a huge leap in the dark like.

No one had any issue with any of our fans wanting rid of Mike Ashley or having any association with him because of how badly he ran the club. No one was saying we should be fine with it because other businesses deal with him. Now swap the running a football club badly part with 'because they're actual murderers' - it doesn't take a leap of imagination to understand why some fans of that club might want rid of them and want no association with them. You can still support the club without being antagonistic towards a group of people with a completely reasonable stance. You don't have to excuse yourself for supporting Newcastle, you can support Newcastle while acknowledging that our owners are terrible cunts. 'Support the team, not the regime' was the excuse for years and it applies here, you don't need to excuse the regime because they finance the team.

Only just noticed now how often you mention 'the majority' agreeing with you.

They'd have better luck selling garlic in Transylvania like, so strategically it's a complete waste of time and energy, but fair play to them, they have my support.

Got the family on. Long shot but is there any way of seeing a photo of the names? It would be a great little extra Christmas present for my lass's dad. I'm thinking like an overhead 8k photo sort of thing then we can look for names ourselves

Same date of birth (allegedly) as me. Both 38 today

How we feeling about this lads? I've got that guilty confidence feeling if that makes sense? Thinking that we could realistically thrash them, then the emo part of me thinking it'll be 1-1 and I shouldn't be arrogant

I think just a bit of leeway might be the way to go. As long as they're close it should be fine. I noticed this especially when putting in nzogbia and assuming I wouldn't need the '

That's a pathetic decision for so many reasons that others have mentioned like. The main one that hasn't been mentioned is that they appear to be arbitrarily drawing a line where the ball is while it's in motion on a 25fps feed.

It has to be psychological, but I've noticed that he's still very good if he's coming onto the ball. Almost all of his goals like for us are like that.

Thankfully he's still withers

Watching this again, it's another classic Joelinton performance imo. Defensively he's so good

"Cramlington has fallen" RTG's hilarious like. They love their mythical North Tyneside and Northumberland Mackems.

I'm not saying that like. Man City got taken over by UAE, I immediately hated Man City. If I was say a Spurs fan, Newcastle get taken over by Saudi Arabia, I'd immediately hate Newcastle. That's what I meant.

Leicester 0-2 Man City Bournemouth 0-2 Spurs Brentford 2-0 Wolves Brighton 1-1 Chelsea Palace 2-1 Southampton Newcastle 2-0 Villa Fulham 2-0 Everton Liverpool 2-0 Leeds Arsenal 5-0 Forest Man United 2-1 West Ham

There are plenty that didn't care or liked us before who now don't specifically because of our owners. Whether you care or not is another matter
