Liverpool being ‘unlucky’ is just mad to me. How?

When I saw him at a talk-in, I got the impression that the club reached out, and Keegan was somewhat offended that instead of an actual role, the offer was a half-time gig. No statue, nothing like that, just him being led out at half time to wave to the crowd. I can see why a bloke who has otherwise given up on football was ‘thanks but no thanks’

Is he a person?

this just simply isn’t true.

I have just briefly considered watching rugby. Rugby.

4-3 win there is my favourite ever game. Always feel incredibly lucky that I was there that day.

They weren’t for a cup final

Villa away too

Seems like we either get the smug spurs fan or the smug Villa fan. At least the Man Utd one commits somewhat to his bit.

Fucking hell, mate. Sorry to hear that.

He’s a smug twat that hates Newcastle but conceals it with a sort of strained benignity in his tone. Another one on there happy to ditch any objectivity when it comes to us and just outright talk about wanting our opponents to win.

Craig Hope has changed his mind, this is huge.

It’s difficult to articulate but it does sometimes feel like Howe has, not hijacked…but used our takeover to his own advantage. Meaning that he acted as though the upward momentum was because of him and that he and his good (if not spectacular) management was not, as it actually was, a symptom of the cub’s changing direction instead of a driving force. Put another way: Where would he be if we still had Ashley but Howe as well? Probably about where we were.

I would personally rather we gave the money to somebody else to spend

Does he speak English?

Any chance any of his relatives work as a set piece coach?

I have said before on here that I would make it a rule that away fans are housed behind one of the goals at every ground. It improves atmospheres and looks brilliant.

My memory of that is that they filmed the dressing room rise to applaud him, which at the time struck me as painfully patronising. Even now I wonder how he took it.

Be good if they just fucked off honestly. Everybody on here could get tickets to the match for one thing

Mate, the bloke is a murderer. There’s going to be serious journalists all across the world with stories about him. We need to be big boys and girls about it because the idea that it’s done to unsettle a football club in the north of England is wilfully stupid.

Nice bit of sexism. Why weren’t you there, out of interest?

Is this true? They were heading down with Gerrard in the season we qualified for the champions’ league

Just feels like Aston Villa have stolen our narrative.

Last year, I had sympathy with the line, ‘What team could cope with an injury list like this?’ That’s obvious. Going to be harder for me to agree with the line (said by a few), ‘What team could cope with as many players out of form as ours at the minute?’ That’s directly on Howe, I’m afraid.

Without being soppy, after years away I now walk into work over the Tyne Bridge and as a skyline and a city, Newcastle is fucking mint. I love the golden hue that seems to centre on SJP.
