The last couple pages have been unwelcome reminders as to how tedious and excruciating the transfer window is

Ah man, just fuck this season!

Newcastle player of the month for February 2026 is like winning a prize for being the most sexually active person in a Games Workshop branch. Nevertheless, well done Jacob, his Newcastle career is starting to come to life.

Old Firm fixtures are seldom quality games but they're top notch drama! Got to be happy with that @martoon?

Isn't pork considered haram over there? I think the Iranians would be insulted if they were told to deal with a man who is 80% bacon rasher

Getting 3 bites at the cherry from 12, 6 and 1 yards seems a bit disproportionate for an accidental handball like! Hope it stays like this

Just checked the table and Motherwell are 1 point behind Celtic with a vastly superior GD. They couldn't could they

Celtic are such a poor team, O'Neill has got them playing like it's still 2003, this could be whatever Rangers want it to be.

That'll be that for Celtic then, who would've thought that hiring a 73 year old TalkSport pundit twice and some no-mark bum from the MLS would possibly result in blowing a league?

Fucking hell, what a goal!

I'm really looking forward to the Old Firm later today, it's probably the only non Newcastle fixture I tend to go out my way to watch and today's feels like it's going to be a blockbuster. I'd like to see a draw as it'll give Hearts a bit more breathing space but a win for either side will effectively knock the other one out of contention. Regardless, both Glasgow sides have been honking this year and don't look capable of putting together a run, I think Hearts will hold their nerve and get over the line.

I've said for a while that this team is the decomposing corpse of the 2022/23 squad. Every window is an opportunity to carry out minor operations to freshen things up but instead of a minor operation we now need open heart surgery after basically opting out of 3 of the previous 4 windows and badly fumbling the summer 25 window The squad looks jaded, Howe keeps going back to the well with players who are lesser versions of themselves when they first came in. He could be more flexible or creative with his tactics but that's cock all use if whoever running the club is either giving him shit players or no players.

Everyone knew that he was never worth 55m in a month of Sundays, but that's the price we ended up paying cause of the gross mishandling of the window. At the time it felt like the juice was gonna be worth the squeeze, cause he was supposed to be our plug in and play, tap in of a signing ready to hit the ground running, we were even happy to turn a blind eye to the fact that he pulled the same stunt as Isak, albeit under different circumstances. When you turn out to be shit, your price tag becomes an albatross around your neck. In fact, a dead albatross would probably start up front for us this season.

I was taking the City and Barça games into account, whilst they're not league games, they're games we're likely to lose and sap morale even further. I'm dreading the mackem game, they're a horrible team to play against and we'll struggle to break them down I wouldn't trust this team to get a win at Selhurst Park either

Surely some dumb Turkish team will be deranged enough to take this chump off our hands come the summer?!

Aside from a few enjoyable CL nights, this season has been excruciating. I'm too scunnered at the moment to even begin to figure out how I feel about Eddie taking the club forward next season, all I know is that sacking him or keeping him isn't going to be the silver bullet, the squad is a complete mess and the custodians who are supposed to be running the club have been stepping on rakes since Amanda and Mehrdad left. Remember that today was supposed to be our 'most winnable' fixture for a while. Looking at the fixture list, this is going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better, I don't think we've hit rock bottom yet, I have a horrible feeling rock bottom will be 22nd March.

There isn't a single PL fixture I'd have confidence in us winning

The sort of match that would get football cancelled. A dirge.

I don't know how to say this diplomatically but we are a brain dead football team devoid of quality with a lot of stupid players

I wish we could play middling European teams every week rather than middling English teams.

What is going on here? None of your lasses are saying Bruno or Schär?! Joelinton is a good shout tbf. Thiaw is a bit of alright too.

Fuck that, there's plenty of other teams who can do us a favour against Bournemouth, today I'm quite happy for Bournemouth to pad their GD.

What in gods name is going on here? Do people buy this stuff?

Don't get me wrong, I love Tripps and he's a bonafide Toon legend, but he definitely seems like the kind of guy who says Dubai is his favourite holiday destination, watches Love Island and his music taste is 'a bit of everything'. Nothing wrong with that BTW, just saying.
