I'm starting to wish he didn't drive all night to see the Toon.

Careful, his dad will be slating you in the Daily Mail.

I can only speak for myself, really happy with Joe lately overall. Just amused me how dumb he was in a particular passage of play.

I don't disagree.

Seems a lovely chap and is a great athlete but I wouldn't want him on my pub quiz team.

I like Barnes but he looks leggy and has been underwhelming frequently lately, passed it back loads when he could have gone forwards.

Brb just getting my jar of peanut butter.

He tore his quad while he said that.

Yes, to your first question.

Love joe but he had a run at goal with loads of options and just had no urgency and the move faded away when he could have scored or played a decisive pass. But still happy with him, hope he doesn't get injured

Seems a wonderful chap. But how do I say this... he is a tad intellectually malnourished out there on the pitch.

I didn't even realise Dawn French was on the bench!

Fortune favours the brave.

No harm in giving a hungry young player like Neave some minutes if we are losing by a fair margin. Not exactly War & Peace re complexity.

My reaction

Shearer

Wouldn't mind seeing some fringe players get time today like Sean Neave.

I don't disagree, my only counter argument is that I think Kieron Dyer is ugly.

Dyer- 190 appearances, 23 goals Gordon - 105 appearances, 21 goals

I'm hearing reports they have named him "Goliath nəslindən" in Azerbaijani, which translates as "Descendant of Goliath"

Agreed. I actually have one, found in a bush when i moved into a house aged 9, decades ago, it was popped but I still used it because it was so cool. I should probably try and fix it actually, was one of these ones with the writing. Some of the early 2000s Champions League balls came close though.

Thank you, that's definitely on my list, it's similar to Lindisfarne regarding amazing surroundings.

Off topic slightly but it's such a spectacular castle. I have never been but researched it in depth. I think my next holiday/adventure is just going to be visiting many of the castles and sights in Northumberland, more castles than any other county in England.

That is unforgiveable, she is the Angel of the North and the Queen of Newcastle.
