Have they signed a Lua Lua?

Welcome to the toon JackB, this is a huge game for locals. Bring us luck!

Absolutely revelling in it. A game that matters that lights a flame inside in a primeval way. My internal feral Gateshead lad/Felling thug is enjoying a rare roll out! Can’t be the only one who would love to be there.

Apparently there is such much anticipation about this fixtures… . Actually people with funny voices talking about Makem wins are on now, I want to hear about Palace vs Manc Blues.

Prepare yourself for the possibility of a negative assumption busting, self-validating, wonderful way to celebrate your birth. And happy birthday to you, have a great one 👍

Happy with the team. Bench looks super strong these days.

Where you watching H? Or do you have a ticket?

You sure? He was man of the match a couple of years ago in the North London derby. Assuming he must have played in many bigger matches. I mean when Arsenal bought him he was, I think, the record spend on a keeper and he played about 80 games for them.

Have a feeling he will be targeted for rough treatment today. Pretty sure he knows how to handle such situations. Would be more concerned if his mate is playing who tends to go into hunt/revenge mode.

Don’t go to pieces mate. We’ll all link together; tightly knit; not a gap in sight. Before you know it a wondrous victorious image be revealed. (Best I can summon )

Which kind of NUFC away performance will we see? Similar to Everton or R. Union SG? Or similar to Leeds or West Ham? That is what will make the difference between a great and a shit day. First goal is critical. Can’t wait to find out.

Loved that song. Fond memories of my young daughter innocently singing the ‘peels bananas with his feet version.’ 😂

Thing is though, it will be far from a piece of cake to actually FTM.

One that is aesthetically pleasing preferably. Take note Sunderland ‘council’.

Ouch don’t stretch that poorly groin. Or weigh down your top lip with that tache

She’s off her fucking box.

Depends on the analysis. They don’t tend to dominate possession unsure whether they sit back and hope to score on the break. If we need to put them under up the pitch there’s a chance he starts both, but given absence of replacements it is a very low chance.

Tonali is ideal for a derby and will have played in more hostile atmospheres than they can summon. Bruno will start and Joelinton would have done if he was fit. All for local lads playing and a real chance for Miley to earn his place (if he hasn’t already).

I always thought Harper was a good keeper and one who would have been even better if he had left and been number 1 elsewhere; once the initial tussle for the position with Given was lost.

Great points. And thinking about it the cross for Miley’s goal was another left footed classic from Gordon. Imagine if we can get him cutting in and firing left footed shots in from the right wing with Barnes’s current form on left, and Murphy and Elanga as options, Wolt or Wiss (any W will do…) in the middle. Looks exceptionally strong in theory.

You were getting a big fat like until last sentence 😂

Does …. mean …. we ……n’. include ….. word .. . sentence. …. include …… other …?

Pessimistic. Definition of.

I do wonder whether they are overplaying the pull everyone away, block the keeper and try and score direct from the corner card. Bruno has tried at least three times and pretty sure Gordon tried to score near post recently too.

You are verging on doing a version of the same kind of polarised all or nothing thinking though. Only about fans reactions to him not about him per se. There have been plenty of nuanced comments about his performances, my (admittedly unsolicited) advice would be try not to be too affected by the occasional overgeneralised rants you read. We’re all entitled to an opinion, and all bothered/frustrated when things aren’t going well. That all includes the hard of thinking. I think he is a real fighter and ideal for Sunday; if he can keep himself on the pitch.
