Kid Icarus

Fair enough. When you're saying Keegan and Robson's teams I'm thinking of the finished best XI tbh, that's why I'm saying neither get in and, apples and oranges but Cabaye wasn't better than Speed for me, definitely not.

I honestly don't get it like. How on earth would Demba Ba be getting in the Keegan or Robson teams?

Behind only Cabaye as the most overrated player of the Ashley era. He was quality, but there's some serious rose-tinted glasses with him among our fans imo.

Can't remember who it was, but whoever was saying that Ba was a better, more complete striker than Wilson is having a laugh like.

TG still talks shite a lot of the time tbh, particularly about Keegan. He's an interupter as well, which is a pet hate of mine anyway, but especially from podcasters. Still better than what he used to be, but I don't think you really gain anything new by watching him.

I don't think they bottled it, there wasn't anything particularly gutless about the way they play that I've seen from countless Arsenal teams before, but they definitely look like they've run out of steam, had key injuries at the worst time, and have been punished for not making the signings to mitigate for those things in January

I get what you're saying but at one point they were 4th, equal on points with 5th, with a better goal difference and 3 games in hand. Bottling it is too strong probably, but I think it's fair to say it was their's to lose. Still a good season for them, but also a missed opportunity to do even better.

He's just absolute dynamite, a genuine potential superstar. Immediately and comfortably on a level of midfield prowess for us that I've only previously seen from Rob Lee in the time I've been watching Newcastle.

Yeah Man City, West Ham, Aston Villa, and Burnley all regularly do varying versions of the '80s Cola Chewits colour scheme.

I honestly can't believe that it's ended up being Krafth that's stood in and shone. I didn't know loads about him, but from reading negative reviews of him on here, knowing how solid Manquillo has been in the past, and then him being class at Leeds away I thought it would have been him we'd be talking about as next season's obvious back up.

There's absolutely no chance I'd be letting this lad leave, no chance. Whoever else we might be looking at isn't going to be a dead cert in the way that Targett is. Left back is ticked off for at least next season for me and we'd be far better off looking to seriously strengthen other positions.

Most improved team in Premier League history from 1st to 2nd half of the season. Unreal. Eddie's some boy like.

That performance epitomised everything about the improvements he's made. Comfortable on the ball, keeping possession, players grafting their arses off, always looking to attack, overlapping runs, movement on and off the ball, great fitness levels, confident, fighting until the end, defending together, recovery runs, everything. He's the absolute dude, love him as a manager

I always always fancy us against Arsenal at home. Same with Man United. And especially night time matches. It's the stopped clock being right twice a day of predictions.

Very happy to say that I thought the same. Didn't think we'd completely dominate it in the way that we did though, so that was class to see.

Dubravka - 7 Krafth - 7.5 Schar - 7 Lascelles - 7.5 Burn - 7.5 Targett - 7 Bruno - 8 Joelinton - 8 Longstaff - 8 Almiron - 8 Wilson - 9 ASM - 8

Gayle was too selfless there.

These commentators man, you'd think we weren't playing let alone a professional football team with a class home record and aspirations of winning the match. Pair of clowns

GTFI! Well beyond due, by far the better team in every area.

Would be ridiculously undeserved for them to get anything out of this. We should be home and dry, we've been so much better than them it's not even funny

Fuck me I was sure that was in

The post breathed a sigh of relief there

We score and we're the fucking third club mentioned after Arsenal and Spurs. Fucking joke of a commentator
