If only he could keep it in his trousers & away from players partners [cough, allegedly], Pardew would never have left us and you'd have been spared of that one. Now the Bruce card has been played though I'll hold my hands up and shut up about Hass. We've spent the best part of the last year pining for Eddie Howe, but no, he's gone to Tyneside.

I still haven't forgiven him for the FA Cup semi final last season against Leicester. Not one shot on target against an off-form team there for the taking, that went on to win the final. e's also too one-dimensional. When his plan-A works he's all smiles. When it fails, he has no plan-B whatsoever, and don't get me started on his substitutions.

Yeah looking in from the outside it seems like column A is "out of the frying pan and into the fire" but column B is "thank fuck Gashley has gone"; so you've got a bit from each. Gotta say though, loving the vocal support coming out of the Gallowgate recently. Fair fucking play.

We'll go down if we have an injury run like we did this time last season. Every team in the bottom half isn't immune to that. Also, Hassenhutl is about as useful as the pope's bollocks. But that said, as it stands I'd be stupid not to take a glass-half-full attitude so I will! Hence I'd like to play you this weekend! IMHO it's Norwich, Watford & someone else. The old cheque book will see you guys good though.

Yeah that I ain't. No worries there, and thanks. I'm just not the type to read post on SaintsWeb and take them as gospel without asking for the opposing view first. Pop over there and they seem to think you lot are in league with the devil! i'm just a geezer that likes a beer & wants to watch football.

All good Rac. At the end of the day I just want to play Newcastle while we're on a roll! Who wouldn't?

Sunderland, meh? Done em 8-0 once. It was all the fun. You'd have probably liked it. I never said Wilson's, or any injury was fake. But your U23's must be shite if you can't call upon them to fulfil a fixture?

Saint here in peace. How can you not send a squad down to ours this weekend? Honest question, not trolling. There's no shortage of people on our forum accusing your owners of backhanding the PL just because some of your best players are injured, but I'd prefer to ask at source. I watched your game yesterday & ASM was a different class. Obviously I want to play you guys when he's not taking the piss out of our CBs! Would you really prefer postponing this match just to make your longest trip of the season during a fixture congestion period? I hope you all had a great Xmas, will have an even greater NY & that you & your families are covid-free and healthy.
