Are you worried about this season @Froggy? I thought you were going to have your worst PL season ever last year but to be fair ETH pulled it around and had a great year, all things considered.

I’m contemplating making a stottie, can’t buy them here, for a flashback corned beef hash and stottie tea! And they say we don’t have haute cuisine ?‍♂️

For you Englisher, the game is over! Can’t confirm but this might help…

Remember having a bite or two there back in the day. Extraordinaire exquis!

Knob heads. On both counts.

Just watched his pre PSG interview. So proud to have him as (sometimes) captain of this club. Great combination of matter of fact confidence and humanity. Top man.

Some great scores in week with a large number of against the odds results. Must have been some juicy 10 pointers getting bagged!

Missed that one. Sounds similar conditions and reasons for not calling it off.

There’s nowt quite as moving, for me, as the impassioned plea of ? Howay the lads, Howay the lads, Howay the lads, HOWAY ? usually when we were losing, obvs.

Yep, old codger brain kicked in ? I’ve corrected the original.

Who was at the 1990 play off against the Makems? A game which ‘we’ as in the idiots who broke the crossbar tried to get called off. And the 2017? Game which definitely should have been cancelled. I was in the Milburn, towards the Leazes. Wettest I have ever been in my life.

Someone mentioned Hotel du vin, but can’t confirm.

Is it not Wednesday yet?

Before he went to Man City, he was my top pick transfer wise. Thought the way he was playing for Leeds and England was exactly what we needed. He didn’t look like that player against us/was far from a flawless performance, but guess everyone needs a run of matches. If Tonali clicks into what I think he can be, and Longstaff keeps going in the direction he is, I am not convinced we need him. That said, would still love to have him as an option as I think his ceiling could be higher than both. Plus we still don’t have an out and out defensive midfielder with all the tactical advantages that may bring.

There’s part of me that likes that we thumped Villa, Brighton thumped us, and Villa thumped Brighton. Plus we have played Man City twice and had a 1-0 win each.

Jesus, and unfortunately, I reckon that must be a long list you’re adding him/that half to. Most of the horror shows I’ve witnessed are thankfully lost in the mists of time, but some of them were harrowing/another level—Des Hamilton, Guivarch, Luuk de Jong, Billy Askew, Mark Stimson, Neil MacDonald, Titus Bramble take a bow—to the errors he made (…that said didn’t see the full half ?).

That gave me a fit of the giggles. You’re wrong/unduly harsh about Lascelles, though, you radgie knacker.

Amazing isn’t it! Oh well Osimhen incoming ?

This triggers my NUFC superstitious thinking. ‘There’s many a slip twixt cup and lip’. Did Shearer not make a similar comment (to yours, not mine) when an aging player?

Stan The Germ fucking man?

Defenders just can’t cope with how fast and direct he is. His close control is spot on at speed which makes it harder to make a clean tackle.

Update on tracker for sixth place finish (62 points). Assumptions made are in Spoiler below. In short, taking account of relative difficulty of the games as they fall across the season, we are on track for the average points total for a fifth place finish (12). 11 points, at end of September equates to a fourth place finish.

None of your ‘fine fellows’ playing in the last three games?

Never go back. Good player, but we’ll need a better one to replace or improve on what we have.
