Same commentator over here in Oz. It’ll be the PL international commentary. Made me smile too - the main commentator was talking about taking a bit of time with a throw in as ‘the dark arts’. Glad he was called out on that shite

Being the owner of a micro penis would be my guess

Targett man this ref will give you NOWT

Pickford arguing with his defenders. Beautiful. Just beautiful

Joelinton causes chaos when he does those runs

Yes! Tek that yer cunts

You’re getting nowt Longstaff lad - play to the whistle with this cunt

It’s nice being one of the big boys again mind. You can feel it from the way other teams now approach games with us - they’re fucking right up for it. (I know Everton are fighting for their lives - but they didn’t exactly match this intensity vs Fulham last week)

The constant underhitting of passes is fucking frustrating mind

A bit more control from us and these lot will effectively punch themselves out

They’re absolute gash these mind

FK given from Bruno’s under hit pass. Joelinton and Bruno are doing what they did vs Villa. Need to wake up a bit

Another of those sloppy away starts. Happily these are much shitter than the likes of Villa

Funny to think that before the weekend plenty of us were looking at Spurs as the main threat - now suddenly we want them to get a result in their next game! I'm not nervous at this point tbh - just thinking out loud more than owt else. I don't see how we conspire to blow this - we'd need to go on a Steve Bruce-esque losing streak

Yeah, I had a look at their remaining fixtures this morning and shivered a little bit. This is the time of the season when sides start rolling over for a belly tickle - I could easily see that lot winning every remaining game. But if we win the next two, it is hard to see us not getting two wins and a draw from the remaining five games.

It is gearing up for a hell of finish for the PO places like. Millwall vs Blackburn and Preston NE vs the mackems final day, as well as Swansea vs West Brom (Swansea could still be in the mix at that point), and Coventry vs the smoggies. If Preston somehow win at Sheff Utd - who in fairness have nothing to play for at this point, given that their win vs WBA guaranteed promotion and they can't catch Burnley mathematically - would mean a Preston win guarantees they finish above at least the mackems. It is in sunderland's hands now, mind - provided they win their games and hope that Millwall don't do the same while scoring four more goals.

Yep - win the next two games and we'd only need midtable form in the remaining fixtures to guarantee top four. I think the Everton game is more important than I've seen some other NUFC supporters suggest it is. Win this and I'm really confident we hammer Soton too at the weekend - and then it is pretty much all over bar the shouting.

That’s Mr Nail to you

It’s easy to forget that Lascelles is a PL quality CB - albeit not a top one; but I’d happily bet that when he leaves here it’ll be to a PL side (a bottom 7/8 one). He’ll be fine if he plays.

It's been so long since we were in the CL, I wonder if they still do the 'home teams wear the away kit for kit clashes' thing? Also, we owe these a thumping at some point at Goodison. It's never been a happy hunting ground for us (unlike at home - from memory, our total head-to-head record vs Everton is almost a complete tie, including goals scored vs each other throughout the entire history of games between us - none of that 'post-92' shite). I think a breezy 3-0 will be the order of the day.

Absolutely fucking shameless.

A cup tie would do that without them being needlessly enriched

Yep. At this point they’ll be claiming that we aren’t really NUFC anymore so it doesn’t count. NETD is meaningless to me - bald men and combs, etc, traditionally. Even the name stems from their 98/99 season review tape. Weird bastards can’t even have a good season without making it about us.

I’m another of the ‘prime Rob Lee still the best in my lifetime’ camp - but that position becomes less tenable with each game. But Lee was a very different player from Bruno. In terms of just phenomenal vision and ability, Gascoigne and Cabaye are the only ones I’ve seen in the same class.

Here’s my favourite on that thread (it’s a long ‘un mind). Goes from ‘gan canny man he’s a Newcastle fan he’s allowed to watch their games’ to ‘if he goes there in the summer it’s just because of the dirty money he’ll get’ at the end. Fucking insane.
