This is a nice graphic showing relative performance (to Lique 1 forwards) on eight criteria. Particularly like the bottom left: shots per 90 minutes.

I reckon Eriksen will do week for you. But take your point.

20 years older than you and heard it in Gateshead as a youth, but just from older folk. Never said it myself. Thought it was probably a mining thing, which might have some truth though maybe Viking origins: “Marra, as a slang word for a mate, derives from a local pronunciation of marrow, which has been used to mean “companion” or “workmate” since the 1400s. No one really knows where the word comes from, but it's possible that it might be related to an old Scandinavian word meaning “friendly” or “outgoing”.”

? Every time I open this thread that bloody reel of German crap pops up first!

Nearly being shaken off the camera gantry in the Gallowgate might have put him off live reporting a little!

Gini on loan anyone??

Don’t know but hope so ?

I’d like to think it was because he’d watched the plethora of fouls we’d been on the receiving end of in the first half.

That would be sweet.

Oxbridge Essex boy ?‍♂️

(Fanta-stic idea!)

To be fair, Shelvey was running the show first half. It was just a less entertaining and effective show.

Well they got what the lad wanted no doubt. Though probably less dosh, for both, at least in the short term and (as ever) remains to be seen whether it is best for both of them in the medium to long term.

Check the player ratings here. Think I disagree with Bruno, Wilson, Burn and Targett. Particularly don’t see how Burn was rated higher than Targett. https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2022/07/15/newcastle-player-ratings-v-1860-munich-duo-get-4-botman-verdict-8-for-asm/

? Tripps walks over and he looked like he shat himself! Quite endearing really.

Confine him, you say. Try to, I say ?

These games are going to important for many players chances of starting. Burn, Lascelles and Murphy missed first opportunity to up their case.

Joelinton man against boys.

Game’s gone quickly.

Well played Botman. Think that was the lad who outmuscled Burn earlier and got a shot in. Didn’t manage it this time.

Nice assist from Wood.

Bruno the beast!

Wtf was that back pass!! ?

Whoops! Big Joe a bit keen.
