Switched over to Tottenham. I like Szoboszlai but can't be listening to McCoist marbling his hoop all night

scouse cunts

Aye, Hoddle was on about it being a great save, I was like wtf he's just parried it back to the edge of the six

Yeah agreed, he dives off his left instead of his right leg and he saves the pen for starters

No shame in getting beat, they're a good side and not through a lack of effort. Most disappointing is that 5 or 6 of the 7 are really soft, soft goals are our stock in trade this season, and surely at HT we spoke about staying in the game. At 4-2 someone's got to take control and say nothing daft, no more goals. Onwards and upwards to Sunday.

Very watchable 45 minutes that, three excellent goals and some nice play

Fucking Lee Hendrie on co-comms ffs

They'd have lucked in to us both being out the FA Cup and played the game on the Easter weekend when the quarter finals are but aye, had one of us gone through they'd have been snookered

It's irrelevant anyway, the only people who ever ask me in person are mackems who just want the answer so they can somehow use it against me later. "Thought it didn't matter marra?" "Rattled by little old Sunderland eh?" Insufferable bunch of cunts

Wor Flags has never done anything that is a direct dig at the opposition have they? I don't imagine they'll start on Sunday. But the scruffs will twist it how they like. Sad. Mackem. Bastards.

Just reciprocating the clapping them out the pub when they won the playoffs man (Is that account not run by an SMB aswell?)

Aye, Joelinton has been class as a target man/outball in general this season, so that would be my favoured solution to the hypothetical 4-2-3-1 idea. What's let us down has been the lack of closeness for Joe to drop it off or someone to win the second ball if it doesn't stick. That being said, I think Joe has generally done that role when Pope has played, and dealing with a Pope field goal-esque punt and a Ramsdale mostly deliberate pass is a different kettle of fish, so that may change things and solve the shortcomings too.

Keep the Pars updates coming man, a refreshing read and perspective for someone so entrenched in Newcastle alone

Fuck Aston Villa. Ideal world Dracula leaves and goes to Real Madrid rather than the Red Scum of Manchester

Fancy us to at least take them horrible cunts close for 6th

So Gallagher's first game missed through illness or injury in his career comes after signing for Tottenham Didn't he need a concussion check about 16 seconds into his debut aswell? Get them gone man

Standard that his best game this season was probably at our place

North or South Holland?

The alternative view is they know exactly what they're doing so when he turns out as just a better than average PL midfielder they can stick the boot in

We need Rod and et tu brute back just for your own sanity so you can put the fishing rod away

Last night the aerial ball was to Woltemade who, especially in the second half, won a lot of first headers and quite strongly at that. I'd love to see us try this, unfortunately for the aerial option the answer is remove Barnes. You either play Joe there, or you play Woltemade there as an inside forward, and swap Tonali and Ramsey so you get Sandro's engine to cover Hall, but with Nick we lose something from the press

There's probably a significant difference in spreading/contagion risk indoors versus outdoors even if you're sitting right next to someone outside. *Disclaimer - I'm a marketing and communications consultant not an epidemiologist

A five minute collective brainfart in Marseille and a soft late equaliser in Leverkusen? Have a good holiday mate!

We've all worked with dickheads like this aswell. I had a gaffer 20+ years ago who I generally got on with really well and taught me a lot but he loved this sort of shit. We had a fairly heated disagreement one day and he came back a couple of days later after his day off and apologised, caveated with "I've looked through all my management books and still don't know what I should have done differently."

I bet he'd give an absolutely belting, by which I obviously mean shit, speech about togetherness to the bomb squad and how the bolt in the bottom of the toolbox can't afford to let itself get rusty just in case one day that's the critical piece needed to make something work though
