Wew

absolutely fucking hopeless

Nervy start at the back

Aye nee issues here

Rob Lee ghost of Christmas past here Stuart Pearce turning slowly but inexorably into Rod Stewart

If there is one thing guaranteed in this world it's a significant proportion of people pretending not to care about a derby loss like Done with football; feel nothing; this apathy is what I've been driven to; etc etc. every time. Was always pure import grade copium then, would still be now.

I find it almost as hard to understand those who will still brook no criticism of him whatsoever as those who already think he's on borrowed time.

Would be amazed if he wasn't

Friend of mine saying looks like a nasty injury to one of their best and brightest? Can't remember his name like (the player, not my mate)

Anybody who doesn't think Howe will be feeling the heat is being a bit too optimistic I reckon. I don't think he's anywhere near the bullet, and he shouldn't be. But if he's not facing any uncomfortable questions I'd be amazed.

Absolutely unacceptable in so many regards. Sunderland Vs Newcastle might end up being the single worst game of football anyone has ever watched

divent man

Neither will John Anderson This sounds like a bit of a shambling fucking disgrace so far like

Well fuck

This is exactly what would have happened to us in the same position as Villa mind fear of going top

I don't know, I feel fairly sure that if (when) they go up the defence will be exposed pretty ruthlessly by championship teams. Barely even tested this season as you say so it's just a hunch but they do make me a bit nervous at the back. I always feel like they've got plenty of firepower and a lot of teams just end up resolutely pinned back by the strength of the attack. Last weekend is the first time I've seen a team set up to just play through us and have a go anyway, and it worked much better then the obvious gulf in class and quality between the teams would have suggested it should.

Signed Nicki Gears according to social media. Striker apparently. Dangerously tinoesque appointment when the only real concerns appear to be at the other end but championship player all the same

I immediately had a little dream of Newcastle not being invited to join and the Saudis not being interested in bankrolling a team who were only going to be playing against Everton, Sunderland and Crystal Palace. I could live with both of those things like I can't help Newcastle being my team but I've got about the same amount of interest in a glitzy curated superleague as I have in speedway or the Newcastle Eagles

I often feel like the only reason I still force myself to bother with football at a level higher than non league is because I would miss this place such a grim and grubby spectacle these days

We're just like everybody else ultimately, pretending we don't need the copium but we absolutely do

What a surprise can't believe they let him take one, he looks fucking haunted

Don't let Trippier take a penalty

Same. I haven't even got a garden, but they don't know that
