Irish Magpie

You have no idea what is wage is other than paper talk, whatever the stats say I don't believe for a fraction of a second he is on anything approaching a hundred grand a week. He was an initial loan which ended up costing circa 15m. Who the fuck would pay a 100k a week for that?

I want him just for the fact he looked like he was going to strangle Vinius Jr., that was worth any admission fee to a game by itself! Plus if he can shotstop like Pope AND actually kick a ball that's a plus.

That is the stuff the news should be full of every day instead of all the negative shit they feed us every day. Top bloke!

I could have listened to that for another hour no problem, excellent stuff.

I don't think Chelsea, or Man U for that matter, will find their visit to Brighton is a nailed on 3 points. Ask Villa how they got on just yesterday.

Remaining fixtures for Man U, Spurs, Chelsea and Newcastle Utd. Played on the Mon 06, Sat 11, Sun 12, Tue 14, Wed 15 and Sun 19 May (Sorry, don't know how to do tables. Spurs included for my own perverse pleasure of them dropping a load more bollocks and us stealing 5th scenario). Crystal P vs Man U Newcastle vs Brighton , Spurs vs Burnley , Notts Forest vs Chelsea Man U vs Arsenal Spurs vs Man City Brighton vs Chelsea , Man U vs Newcastle Brentford vs Newcastle , Brighton vs Man U , Chelsea vs Bournemouth , Sheff U vs Spurs I have us holding on to 6th place

Sell if the right offer comes in, BUT, don't dismiss the tried and tested experience. Wilson, fit, almost guarantees goals; a young but skilled younger man will miss more than Callum would.

We can still hunt Spurs down so I'm hoping for the opposite.

Well that was horrific, CP actually reminded me of us last season. The high press in unison and blowing opposition away with the speed of transitions. Our passing was so profligate at times. It is not a thought I'm comfortable with but I do sometimes wonder about Eddie's ability to change a game's dynamics with tactical nous. Oh! And Burn and Longstaff are NOT the level we are looking for, especially annoying as they are both homegrown locals.

Some background on Tiago Pinto He left Roma Feb 3rd, 24 Decent Athletic article here too.

Shit! Does that mean we have to re-evaluate his status as a cunt?

Doesn't show much emotion does he, even wheeling away from the goal not the faintest trace of a smile. Tino 'stonecold '. And when oh when are the club going to ditch that awful interviewer?

You've just taken the wildly disparate views of two different posters and equated them with the board as a sum. Don't think it is the board that is weird.

It has to be said, even if several forum stalwarts have apoplexy, it might be time for Tripps to take a back seat.

I'd just like to say Danny Murphy is a godawful co-commentator, absolute pits!

Thought Miley was good again overall, but yeah, great to see him back - we've missed him.

Out for 3 months with a bruised tit! Heard everything now.

This is possibly the biggest flaw, if flaw it is. The loyalty shown to a winning 11 is set too high, in fact it would seem to the eventual detriment to the team. We've seen often enough when changes were forced that the players came in were fresh and motivated to do well. The same would surely have applied to a player rested for a game - they come back fresher and keen to re-establish themselves as a mainstay.

Well a very small minority are generating a whole lot of discussion, which is all I was referencing; but I'll rephrase my initial question for you. I really don't recall but did we (a very small minority) turn on (grumble about) Benitez so quickly after a poor run of results?

Wow, I did not see that coming. That was last season's Newcastle, who have been spotted all too rarely this one. Hopefully restores a lot of confidence and belief going forwards.

Can I be the first to say he looks fuck all like Haaland, other than the barnet!
