Myself and Yorkie have chatted about this but no I am not him! This has just been my username since I was a kid so just pure coincidence and my name is Alisha so.... I get called Lish

Think it needs it's own topic now...

Think it shows tremendous growth and willingness that he's tracking back. Tbh I think this board judges him way too harshly. Gordon did some lovely things when he came on but he also lost the ball a couple of times. Especially at the end when it was our final chance... He tried to let the ball run and then a west ham defender kicked it into the sky. Whistle blew. Think we put our brown tinted glasses when we watch ASM and all we see is shit. He put in some lovely crosses and got into dangerous areas all whilst passing the ball (which we screamed for him to do) and tracked back and made 3 successful tackles! It's like we want him to fail. Maxi is fine in this team, we should have won that game with the amount of chances we created but it's just same sticky patch we are in at the moment. I think he wants to make it here and the fact that he's trying so hard, we should be applauding him. Him and Longstaff always get the brown glasses. Bruno can do no wrong even if he has a bad game. Maxi has literally saved us himself from relegation. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him; no takeover, no Eddie, just Cashley and his cronies. We NEED to keep him. He, more than anyone in that team, is our "messiah".

As we are on TV so much this month, anyone got something just for the month that doesn't break the bank? I've got illegal (shh) streaming apps but the quality is awful.

I hope not... I mean I do trust Howe and he must communicate his intentions to maxi but feels super harsh on the guy it is Murphy starting. He's been doing everything right when he comes on. Maybe targett coming back is a way in for him with more protection. Who knows.

Is this for real?

Unfortunately, this is true for most of the world. As a woman, can't tell you the amount of times I've felt like a second class citizen. It's disgusting that yet again, another high profile case gets thrown out. Reminds me of the Prima Facie show with Jodie Comer. Rape/sexual violence against women in the law has an appalling history. Other countries actually have specific rape courts to account for the trauma that a woman goes through (poor memory, lack of details) so that a fair trial can be had. In the UK, the woman is basically accused until she breaks anyway. What's the point? That's why so many men think they can do this because literally, nothing happens to them. And don't get me started on the rejection of Menapause law haha!

This is the name we should call them in the title thread!

7/10 for me. Think the club is showing great things to the players; eg wood and shelvey. They weren't first choice and they didn't have massive contract time left. And they allowed them to move to another club who offered them maybe more money and more time and a chance to make an impact. Think it shows maturity and kindness. Yes would be great to have a new CM but we don't want any old codswallop. So best to wait. We tried for a loan but Chelsea playing hardball and also not showing kindness and maturity so fuck 'em. I don't think we are super light seeing as tho Shelvey has been out for months. Would rather Anderson could come in and learn than Shelvey who barely runs. Plus young talent really excites me and I think everton and West ham have got it wrong with those two and they will regret them leaving... And like man u and Chelsea will try to buy them back in 5 years for 200m or something silly like that.

Considering Red Cafes name of us in their thread title: "Saudi Athletico Arabia", can we please retaliate with an appropriate name? It's like nobody watches us play football and just think we waste time and roll around the floor. Jog on. I hope we fooking dick them, I can't stand their self righteous entitlement. They'll be owned by a state soon and I will rain down on them with all the shit they've given us!

Yes!!!!!!

But between 3 of the big clubs which matters I think. I rate him but he won't be idolised in the same way as shearer or Kane even though he's won more. Just my opinion.

Me too. Look at shearer. He's probably done better for himself staying at Newcastle then leaving to go to a sure winner at the time like manure. Someone like Raheem Sterling who's won loads but moved loads, will be forgotten and never idolised.

Surely we won't...

And ladies haha ?

When I was 10, I was on holiday. Had always liked and played football but I moved around south a lot so I didn't have a "team". Lo and behold I made fwends with a geordie boy, and we started playing football on the grass etc like kids do. And he wanted to know what team I supported and I said "England". And he was like but you have to have a team to support. Then he asked me who my favourite player was and of course my answer was "Alan Shearer". " Well you should support Newcastle then" And there we have it. I live in Brighton and have done since I was 18 but can I get on board with the team? Nope. Because we went head to head with them in the championship I can't even have them as a "second team". In fact I always hope they lose!!! I'm definitely an adopted geordie

Is this on Sky sports premier league or sky sports main event?

I hope so BUT if I could have just one it would be them haha.

I'm all for Everton and West ham failing because I think it's funny and I know they'll love to laugh at us esp when we got relegated x2. BUT... I would love to see Liverpool crash and burn. Ever since they bought Andy Carroll I've despised them. I'm young enough that him leaving broke my heart ? so when they bought him I could never forgive them. And now with our new owners, they don't even consider that Howe has done a decent job so no credit is ever given. They are apparently a "real" football club. Fook them. They deserve everything they get and I hope Bellingham never joins them. Rant over.

I think the seriousness of the situation will be handled by the police and the courts. He sounds very remorseful and upset, it may have been an over confidence thing like he didn't think he was over the limit at all or underestimated his abilities. Not condoning it at all, but he will face the consequences of his actions just like everyone else that does it and gets caught doing it. But each "job" is different and it's down to the club and Howe and how they think it is appropriate. Not everyone would even tell their job it's happened and nothing would affect them at work apart from serious questions of why they can't drive anymore. It's not a grey area because he is being punished. Whatever Howe and the club decide I support. And I hope he learns a valuable lesson from this and grows up. And never does it again.

I think he looks mint. Sometimes the ball just sticks to him. Against SW he was the star 60m man in the line up so the defenders literally hounded him out. With Miggy, Wilson, ASM, Bruno, Willock, Joelinton, Trips in the team, others won't be able to put 3 on him.. I would love love to see ASM and Isak together. ASM always gets surrounded by players and can't always find space but imagine when Isak is in it too and they don't know where to go, and both have speed and dribbling prowess! Will be exciting to watch..I hope they have chemistry in training!

Yeah thought be did well. Was quite impressed seeing as we haven't seen him for a good while. His fitness was sharp and looked like our only outlet for the first 20 mins. Made me feel better if trips gets injured but we would have to change tactics. Scary how reliant we are on Trips and Bruno. And Pope. Maybe Botman's spell of not losing is only with Pope in the side!!

I can't watch that miss... Yes he's sh*t at what he does and we should have a better back up but the way his face falls is just a bit heart breaking!!!! You can tell he knows it means he's on his way out and the miss is gonna be talked about for ages. Plus Joelintons face!!! Can't take the pain!!!

Thought he was one of our better players tbf, went on a good winding run and deliveries were pretty good. Against league one thought he looked sharper than most.
