Yea, when he got the ball he had their full attention. Seemed to balance making the one on one challenge with a pass instead of always trying the dribble.

There were so many good things going on the Newcastle side. Man, what a fun game. I haven't checked the table yet because I just started watching Leeds-Chelsea.

Reversed the offside and the red card so not sure about. City did seem to get the benefit of the doubt though.

Sounded like Saint James' Park was rocking.

Well boys, just finished watching the match. What a game! That was one of the best matches I've seen recently anywhere. Normally blowing a 3-1 lead would lead to despair but against this lot who likely are the best team on the planet I'm pretty happy.

Good luck to the lads. Looks like I can't watch it live so it's DVR time with a few pints in about 3 hours. Either a tight game or a beating, hope it's the former.

I would be all in for that but it will be 10:30am and I'll be in a coffee shop with some old ladies and my elderly mother watching it on an iPad. Her best friend lived in Scotland for 5 years and loved the place. She'll probably watch the game. I just hope it's not a severe beating. A draw would be fantastic. I bet Saint James' park will be rocking.

I agree with all those takes. I'm sure they are not happy selling but that's what can happen when you get relegated. Smart adds to the squad and they can be right back in it.

There have been a few. 1998 and that was the only kick he missed all year.

I've got a Jared Allen jersey on now although tomorrow I shall have the Newcastle 2021 home shirt on whilst watching the game on my iPad at a coffee shop with my mother and the old ladies. I try and visit with them Sunday mornings.

I really need to visit the fair city. I had a friend in the 90's and got him liking Newcastle football here in Minnesota. He worked for Northwest Airlines and got a free flight so he actually hopped a plane to London. Drove to Newcastle, watched a UEFA Cup match, bought me some merch, drove to London and immediately flew home. Yes, he was a bit crazy but I envy him.

Watching Norwich-Millwall. American Josh Sargent is looking really good. Not sure why Pukki is out.

Last word from me. Steve, Brighton was my very first save on Championship Manager 2. I think league 3 at Goldstone ground.

They are actually from Finland. Good luck with the Brighton squad this year. They looked very good against Newcastle in the Amex.

Edit: I really do. Turf Club Saint Paul Minnesota USA. Thanks so much for the insight. In a completely unrelated note, I have tickets to Steven'n'Seagulls in about 3 weeks.

Britain and the USA, a people separated by a common language.

Having lived here my entire life, I know Soccer aka Football is low on the list. I was surprised the surge in popularity of the Premier League. I think NBC paid good money for those rights for a reason.

Looking at the 25 Football shirts here in my basement one might argue that is not always the case! Actually the Premier League is getting kind of big over here.

I agree with all but Targett. He was player of the year before, he wasn't out of form. They brought in a new LB and he didn't want to sit on the bench as you said. I guess you are mostly right as Gerrard didn't think he'd fit.

It is pretty quiet on the Pedro front. Maybe in the eye of the storm right now.

These guys at the Watford forum. "Supertommymooney said: ↑ I think we should pay for JP to have a day out in Newcastle. If he thinks Watford is cold then he'll soon bin off this move. Poor sod has just started to learn English too"

That was excellent.

Let's dance........

I'm thinking "Flogged round the fleet" and "died under punishment" flag flown from the ship. Hope not though! Sure seems like St James' Park adds a fair bit for the home side.

Yup, insane how the incoming has been nothing for 3 years which explains why the outgoing is careful.
