Grandad was French and came over from Marseille in the 50’s to find work. Settled in Newcastle for 6 years before moving to Manchester when he got a promotion. He used to go to SJP every week though when he lived in the toon and never stopped supporting them. My mum and dad died when I was 4 so he and my Nan raised me - I never had a chance to support the teams my mates were supporting when I had that little toon mad Frenchman indoctrinating us. Miss him everyday and my support for the toon is my link to him that will never be broken.

LFEE = Luke “fucking egghead” Edwards. I’ve got you sussed sir.

We’ve been so wasteful with set pieces it’s untrue. We could keep having corners until Xmas and fuck all would come of them.

He’s missing this

Wilson off soon please. Nowhere near as sharp as he was before the World Cup.

And this guys is why we need to invest in this window. Who comes on for Bruno now??

Joelinton doesn’t seem at the races today. Head elsewhere?

Need to fucking wake up here

Fuck me I hate Edwards. Never the first with any transfer scoop but always the first to pull his little knob out to try and piss on the bonfire. Cunt.

I think we’ll sign the players we need to regardless of age. Look at trippier.

Fuck me that would make me moist. Be some midfield we’d have with him in it.

Hope he takes his punishment on the chin and learns from his mistake.

Wilson starting to slow massively. Get Isak on.

HE’S FROM BLYTHE! YOU’LL NEVER EVER BEAT DAN BURN!!!

Corners without end product all the fucking time. Fuck sake man!

One of those days need a goal soon. Little worried about Miggys goals drying up though.

Concentration gone in the last 5 mins.

I’m 99% confident the Moukoko links are his agents trying to get Dortmund to up their contract offer. I’m also confident that 99% of the links with us will be exactly that from now on.

I think we’ve got to. That second string midfield was cat shit last night. There’s a reason they all got hoyed off.

I’d argue that Isak isn’t a natural goalscorer. His stats don’t say that anyway. 1 in 4 at best. Can’t wait for Wilson to get back.

Oh god he was dross tonight. Like really really bad. Touch, awareness, general pace and positioning - all fucking shite. Dead wood.

100% this. Hopefully the bigwigs don’t rest on their laurels and this gives them a jolt.

We were sloppy. No two ways about it. That second string of players is woeful. Only one who gets a pass is Isak because of the length of time he’s been out. The rest of the lads who started were shite, Botman included - hard as it is to say. It’s now there for all to see if we don’t invest properly in this window. A couple of key injuries and we’ll have to rely on Jamal Lewis, Matt Ritchie and Chris Wood - I’m sorry but that would be disastrous. A rare fuck up but a painful one to have to swallow. Wednesday are shit, Windass had the game of his life but we basically fed him all game.

I’ll be watching with a load of Wednesday fans and they said the same about Smith. I think Bannan is a big miss for you though and whilst we don’t have the best record against Wednesday in recent history I think we’ve enough in the squad to make light work of this. Saint-Maximin in particular I think will be well up for this game.

He’ll start. The usual front three need a bit of a rest and this is the perfect game for him to stake a claim again.
