Not all loans are created equally, no point unless he's with a manager who can commit to playing him and help develop, that's not a given. I don't trust our loan team to get him the right placement and I'd rather see him given minutes ahead of Longstaff or even Willock come season end.

Catching up with this, Kalvin Philips warming the bench at Ipswich...

Who the fuck is Johnson? I suppose Alonso is the theoretical best on that list as he played for top sides and won things. I do remember that John Mensah / Asamoah Gyan Ghana link up was decent for them in the Bruce years, shame Mensah was a proto-Callum Wilson as he was pretty imperious when fully fit (never). Also a distinct lack of Bally, Catts and O'Neeeyun to up the clogger quotient. Where's Steeeyd?

I'd class that as a home game given their redecorating antics the absolute fannies that they are. Oh to be a mackem...

Ban.

Anyone with a passing interest in cycling circa 2010-2018 should know full well that Dave Brailsford is a massive grade-A cunt, exactly the type of prick to rock up in chinos spitting Pardewisms at bewildered overpaid footballers.

Let's fucking get at these whiny bitches.

I want Artetears at St. James'.

Putting himself in the shop window for January.

Takes after his manager.

Oh dear Wissa got another owwie.

HAHAHAHA GET IT UP YA FRANK YA BIG DURRRTY LURPAK NONCE

Oh my days, what technique!

The reysheyal abewse will be the meykin of them marra.

I love him.

Lascelles is injured bucko.

Conceding 2 minimum here. Defense is shagged.

I think people underappreciate having players like Gillespie, Ritchie or even Dummett around the training pitch and amongst the group for support, morale, all that shit. To be fair that's also a coaches and leadership groups job too but it can help, especially when Trippier's gallavanting and Lascelles is long term injured.

We're already shipping 3 a game with Pope, can only imagine what we'll be conceding with Dubravka back in goal. Christ.

I'm positively salivating at having Gordon back up front when Isak inevitably breaks down.

The "North" and Mackem lover Burnham wins again!

Mate.
