Interesting, they're a 777 club (or were) and there was talk of PIF taking a few of their clubs off their hands recently wasn't there? Could be an easy win for them (and us) picking up a handful of clubs 777 have dropped in the shit.

I've got a vague recollection that when he was there before he said pretty early that he didn't want to stay, but then they had weeks/months of Potter almost looking like he was trying to build the team around him before he got the tin tack. Was bizarre, but standard Chelsea these days I suppose.

Be done by tomorrow dinnertime given Parish's fetish for the red clubs

I try never to get too carried away or evangelical about individual players and performances, but thought this man summed up what it meant to be one of us today. Choose between savage, collosus, immense, all three, add your own, please yourself, he was fucking superb.

Mags at Hummel and in our marketing department marra

Anyone who thinks we'll have a worse season in terms of points and position than last season, when we're only playing once a week and less all the baggage (injuries/knackered) that came with that, is either completely out of their mind or is going all in on the "Newcastle have had an unstable summer Eddie for England" carry on.

Can't wait for it to come out that when Guehi refused to sign a new contract his agent had said to Parish "if you want to keep a superstar player you need to pay superstar money" and he fucks off for nothing

The website saying he was going to City said he was going to Barcelona about an hour before

It's honestly one of football's great mysteries to me how everyone in the game when talking about him goes on about what a smashing bloke he is (granted Shearer's his mate). He's never come across to me as anything but a complete tosser, even before we had the pleasure of him in the dugout.

Gone 2-0 in the predictions thread, but 5-0 and Russell Martin sent off after Tindall makes some crack about him pulling Lucy Pinder please

If we can design a way to play that all he has to do is run into space and receive the ball moving into the final third and decide to cross or shoot then execute he'd genuinely look borderline elite. Where he's so frustrating is when he comes so deep he almost suffocates us trying to play out on our side. The worst thing is it happens because he's trying to help out, if he could make head rule heart he'd be unreal.

Seen a handful of absolutely shocking away snides tonight, obviously based on whatever Footy Headlines said 6 month ago

First half it was very noticeable how he'd take up specific positions in midfield when BDB had the ball, so we either had an overload in the middle or BDB had a free pass to Gordon. We're evolving tactically and we've got the players to do it. Always geek out when we've got a "new move" 😂

Usual pre-season disclaimers aside, thought this guy absolutely bossed it tonight, looked immense.

I reckon so, hopefully plenty of opportunity to get him on when we're battering teams and stick Gordon/Barnes right/upfront so he can play on the left. Should theoretically help us get Isak some rest and not overexposure Osula if we don't need to. Same for Alfie Harrison too hopefully. Now scratching my head thinking how we get everyone minutes now I've typed that out, nice problem to have eh 😅

First saw this lad when the 18s got battered in the Youth Cup in January, he's Maxi on steroids but he's got something. Even since then he's tightened up a lot, learning quickly training with the first team. Someone mentioned on another thread but might be a case where we take the City route of keeping lads in house rather than loans if we can get them minutes here and there, got a few young lads who look like they could be very, very good players for us.

Mix I reckon, it's what he did last year for these games and I think the season before too

Your membership number is just your supporter/ticketing account number. Think it was about October/November last season when the digital membership card was available to download to your phone if that's what you mean. Not that it's needed for anything other than a bit discount for non Happy Hour midweek pints in Shearer's

Fuck the lot of them

Was dead last when I got on
