Being wired from the match and having nowt to do on my lunch break, I started reading some of the old Joelinton comments. This one is a peach - how unnervingly perceptive is this? As in every line of it. I'm convinced Howe must have used this in his famous interview presentation

Glad to hear he's going again! And yep, no doubt we sat on one of those away coaches together at some point and 'enjoying' Mungo Jerry being played on the tape deck over and over while being nice and tipsy ...

Fuck me that's great Also, I can breathe easy when he's in nets. The difference between him and Dubravka is night and day - you can see how much more composed a back line is with him behind it. Yes, obviously Schar, Trippier and BDB are better than Manquillo, Lewis and Lascelles - but I don't think we lose to Sheff Wed with Pope in goal

These types have been around for as long as punters have paid to watch football. Taking their daily stresses out on football. You do get the odd one who is funny with it, but they're a distinct minority - the rest are just whinging bastards

Yeah, I normally get irritated by Jason Cundy, but that made me laugh like. 'Say congratulations Newcastle and then you can talk about your own team'. Radio phone-ins normally attract the worst type of knaa-nowt pub bore, but he was that on steroids. Another boring fucker comparing football to rugby. 'They should just treat the players while play goes on elsewhere on the pitch, like rugby'. The man was an absolute cretin

Total oddball. I normally avoid talkSHITE like the plague, but put in on this morning after the game as wanted to breathe as much of the reaction in as possible. The bloke was on something.

Used to love going with Toon Travel to away games. Wasn't Keith banned from games for a bit? I heard he'd stopped going entirely after that

That caller was just fucking weird. 'They only beat our reserves tonight'. Hammered your first team a few weeks ago too, you stupid cunt It is 68 years, of course. It's his attempt at humour

Anyone but Citeh in the SF. I feel like if we’re going to beat them, it’ll be in a single game.

That’ll dee for me

YEEEES WHAT A BEAUT

Christ, watching BDB score felt like scoring myself. Love the big lad

YAAAAASS GET IN THERE BIG LAD

Subs in 5 mins

Dan Burn really is shite in the air

My heart is in my mouth every time that man goes down. Hope Trippier is ok

Fuck we really are dangerous from kick offs

Haha yep, he’s not the hairdryer type. 60 mins on the dot he’ll make changes

Yep, I thought he’s been our best player

It feels sickeningly inevitable atm - though hopefully we come out second half and start putting some of these chances away

I really want to see Joelinton back in midfield. He’s great there and ineffective in a front three - and Bruno plays much better with him in there. Plus it would mean not watching Longstaff miss sitter after sitter

I’m pretty sure that’s ‘home grown’ players only

Used to sign him every time too. And Zlatan - who could play wing back then

Ah. *shakes head*. That’s racist

I still think happy thoughts whenever Andri Sigthorsson's name pops into my brain. Which isn't particularly frequent tbh
