Kid Icarus

Like the return to the old puma logo like

My lass's dad was around briefly before and it was the first time I'd seen him since Arsenal at home. I honestly thought he was going to start crying the way he was talking about Howe He absolutely loves the bloke, talking about how intelligent he is and how he's brought everyone together and made them happy, with a massive smile on his face. I know it's just some daft little anecdote but it's class seeing the older generation absolutely chuffed with everything at the moment

Morata either has the same agent as Roberto Martinez or he's part of some sort of money laundering scheme. Potentially coming up to a combined £200m transfer fee for a player who barely hits double figures every season.

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't formed one with Matt Targett tbh.

Paqueta doesn't play there tbf, he'd be in a midfield 3 with Bruno and Joelinton

Think he said that's how much he was worth to them at the time (when they were challenging for the league) Could be wrong though

Yeah, Gerrard had some embarrassing hard man stuff early on at Rangers but I don't remember it recently? In his overlap interview it was something he said he cringes over now as well.

What the fuck was Mancini's problem after they won? Seems like an absolute weirdo and nutcase.

Just been watching The Overlap fan debate there. I'm not sure who the lass is who was on for us, but I thought she spoke well in general and went with the whole 'I don't support Saudi Arabia, waving flags etc, it shouldn't be on us to have to answer these questions, but we shouldn't shy away from the conversation.' Totally fair enough, I think that's lip service and we'll be 'having the conversation' in 10 years time if they're still here, with nothing having changed, but I accept that outlook on it. Gary Neville though, man. I admire him for the soapbox he gets on about the state of this country, but he's such a political rube like. He's naive in the extreme with his 'bring them to the table' outlook. He actually asked her this with a completely straight face. Or else what? What sort of la la land do you have to be living in to think that the Saudi's could (allegedly) get away with 9/11 and murder a U.S journalist without the U.S doing a thing to them, have the U.K government beg them for oil within the last month, own 80% of a football club as a bit on the side and then for the fans of that club to come along and think they have any leverage to get them to rethink let alone place demands on them over their domestic human rights policies? I wouldn't mind, but only a few weeks ago he was saying how his 'bring them to the table' outlook had been wrong when everyone suddenly decided Abramovic was a wrongun 20 years later. Now he's gone back to it. Hopefully he'll wise up to his naivety permanently at some point.

The more I hear about Paqueta the more it makes sense like. He seems to tick every box that you'd want from a midfielder and although he's more of a goal threat, just like Bruno and Joelinton he gets stuck in. He's like 1 in 2 for goals and/or assists as well

It's also a tricky one because if you're picking players on their England form, dropping Maguire is just daft.

The lock the thread cry babies on here. Fuck off and

Yeah, he hadn't realised it was a back heel. Watch from 6:50 https://www.nufc.co.uk/nufc-tv/highlights/southampton-a-highlights-21-22/

He shouts 'Genius!' Even then I don't think he realised what had happened. In the extended highlights he realises on about the 3rd replay.

Newcastle and Sunderland fans too. Not sure on Sheffield United and Wednesday fans

Lodi sounds like it's a goer then. I'll honestly be gutted if we don't bring Targett in though.

I'm pleased I dodged it all like, his interviews sound as bad as Pardew's, which shouldn't be possible.

He comes out with that stuff presumably knowing that anyone not in the know will take his word for it, but he's been at so many clubs now where he's tried to pull the same shit that he's probably running out of a captive audience. The bloke's probably done more for Sheff United/Wednesday, Geordie/Mackem and Villa/Birmingham/West Brom relations than anyone because we can all probably agree that he's an inept, bone-idle, talentless bullshitter with a victim complex.

I still find him so funny like, as unlikeable as he is. The SSN presenter reading out the things people called him and handing us the ammo was comedy gold.

Yeah, it makes sense during the Ashley years. I grew up in the '90s though so it was more common than not.

Anyone who's grown up in Newcastle has been indoctrinated to find everyone wearing Newcastle tops completely normal haven't they? Loads of the dads around my estate growing up wore Newcastle merch almost exclusively

Last years before the start of the season... 1st Man City 2nd Liverpool 3rd Chelsea 4th Man Utd 5th Arsenal 6th Tottenham 7th Leicester 8th Everton 9th Leeds 10th West Ham 11th Aston Villa 12th Brighton 13th Wolves 14th Southampton 15th Newcastle 16th Burnley 17th Norwich 18th Crystal Palace 19th Brentford 20th Watford

I don't get it, why are you only doing stuff from The Office?

Liverpool will have played an extra 4 matches over Man City after the Champions League final. League Cup quarter, semi, final FA Cup Final Champions League final minus the Community Shield I don't think that's enough to win Premier League Manager of the Season above the manager who actually won it.
