So does Gordon, so did Voldemort, welcome to the club you big beautiful blinking German.

If it becomes a consistent issue then it’s something to work on (if snatching, or trying too hard to place, shutting his eyes and hoping for the best, or otherwise messing up …). But those kinds of misses happen to everyone, search ‘what we’ve lost’s’ name and close misses for example.

He hit the bar (instant to react) and the defender made a great block (from NW’s blind side). Feel free to mention, relevant to the getting in the right positions topic.

Great assist 👍

You should just Tholl out man.

Reminded myself of the qualification rules, below for anyone else: “The top eight sides in the league will qualify automatically for the round of 16, while the teams finishing in 9th to 24th place will compete in a two-legged knock-out phase play-off to secure their path to the last 16 of the competition. Teams that finish 25th or lower will be eliminated, with no access to the UEFA Europa League…. In the knockout phase, the teams that finish between 9th and 16th …will face a team placed 17th to 24th – with, in principle, the return leg at home. The eight clubs which prevail in the knockout phase play-offs will then progress to the round of 16, where they will each face one of the top-eight finishers… . From the round of 16 onwards, the competition will continue to follow its existing format of knockout rounds leading to the final.”

In case you’re sick of the highlights, a nice comparison with another great night in Belgium.

You tried. Hopefully good karma due soon in your direction. What a pisser to miss that experience though. Apparently around 50 Newcastle fans in the home seats stood to applaud the subs 🤷‍♂️

So is Rashford. Assisted again last night; scored or assisted in five of last six games and top rated player for Barca against PSG apparently.

I remember feeling like the bee’s knees, 7th birthday I think. Wonder I didn’t end-up with varicose veins given how tight the elastic bands were I used to keep the socks up on my snapper legs.

Centurion at least, emperor at best.

Nice! This is my first kit. Just realised it looks like a dodgy knock-off version (no badge)!

I tuoi connazionali potrebbero aver costruito un muro qui, ma pensi che viviamo in un manicomio? 🤷‍♂️

We’ve had a couple of heart breakers (vs The Arse and the dippers) not to mention losing two of our new signings and best full back. Hear any moaning? Hell no. Proper leader getting everyone’s head (and the rest of them) in the right place.

I’m not quite as tall as him, but watching him makes me feel validated and giving a retrospective fuck you to the coaches who wanted me to play defence or striker when I just wanted to dribble like Waddler.

When I saw some footage of him not so long ago, running around holding his cuffs, reminded me of me doing the same playing for the school in a snazzy 1980’s teabag nylon number in the freezing winds of Felling’s Highfield School field.

Quality isn’t it! Dawned on me that I’ve worn it for our three victories this season. Sitting on my sofa in the home watching equivalent of a full kit wanker. This is how superstitions are born!

We’ll need that depth through 13 very winnable (in the main) games through November and December. Clock’s ticking but hoping we get our three main men back in time.

Emperor Tonali, Tonali’s Wall, midfield maestro extraordinaire! What a player man. Personally let me down by not getting a hat trick of headers but I’ll let that pass.

So nobody, no manager, is perfect and people like to, or at least tend to, moan; some more than others.

More a product of an Asprilla, Beardsley & Big Dunc threesome. (Suddenly feel slightly ill).

Shirley the moule frites fannies… you know what I’m saying Ken.

You can do it mate. You have the image. Dead easy. (Get a duvet cover while you’re on).

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nah… just Sandro doing his thing (again and again).

Well no player has everything, but he’s got more than enough for me. Made a difference tonight.
