Well done that man. I’m opening the Wor Birrra ? ?

I have no problem with it at all. Except, perhaps, he seems to be too involved in their final third; more hope/creativity on the other side.

I think we’re settling in to the new faces in places quite nicely. Big first five minutes coming. Keep them under and I sniff a couple of quick goals.

No. Yes. Err no.

Surely should be more than 5 mins

Snap.

Rico Henry

Well guess the replacement will struggle to keep up with Gordon.

Shocker from Longstaff there.

Second best in too many duels here.

Prepare for joy, Jill. Prepare for joy!

A lot of hustle and energy in that frontline as well as quality. Not many would fancy defending those three and the multiple openings they could develop.

We played very well against Villa. We had a very decent preseason. I’ll gloss over the rest, but basically there’s not too much wrong with us.

Damn and blast you and your optimism-killing facts ?

Coming off confidence boosting international games, where pretty much everything came off for him, I think he’ll feel like a wolf amongst sheep.

Frustrating, but it’s not worth the jail time, mate.

Wading through such shite as we speak…

Highlights anywhere??

Would have felt a real sense of loss (ala Andy Cole levels, if not more) but we might have had Szoboszlai (forever “It’s-a-boss-lie,” said in Scouse accent in my head) plus one or two more first teamers if it had happened ?‍♂️

Stop twisting @aussiemag melones man, he isn’t killing the balsamic-buzz, you’re just mangling the mortadella!

Well… … that would have got you 14 points, for the opening fixtures.

Just had six goes at donating, now locked out. Might be my error(s) not site. Will try again later.

Shows how things have changed (for the worse), I remember my grandparents (avid Newcastle fans) making all the grandkids, and younger uncles/aunties, ice cream sundaes (a big deal treat wise in the 1970s) and getting bottles in from the ‘pop man’ to watch the cup final and cheer on the North East underdogs. A happy childhood memory.

Christ! Was that made by a Liverpool fan?

Our best form was the second part of the season before. So on this view, we’ve ‘overachieved’ for a season and a half and now (in three of our first four games, two away, against top sides, with an unarguably improved squad) have now found our real level. Your theory smells a bit whiffy to me.
