Checko

Think we've been ok, put some pressure on them at times. Bit sloppy at others. Just lacking one or two more really technical players to fashion better chances. Still feel having our best playmaker as our deep midfielder holds us back a bit, but Bruno's kept the ball well under pressure. Could be any result here.

Heard Rashford was fine going down the staircase, but was very unhappy he'd then have to walk back up it.

Can't stand Maidenhead United personally.

If it's based on public voting I look forward to our home matches at StadyMcStadiumface

I read Palace are struggling for goals & don't have much budget for reinforcements. If Guehi doesn't want to sign a new deal then this is probably the last chance to get a real top fee for him. If they do decide to sell they might want to get it done sooner to ensure they can make signings. They won't want to give much of discount because Parish would look silly, which means I bet we're still looking at a chonky fee. Probably more that he's worth. On the other hand I don't really know how good he is so perhaps he is worth a chonky fee. Cue: there will be better value on the continent etc. BREXIT!

Mate, asterisk that shit. Far too offensive for a public board.

Try toad in the hole but with pigs in blankets instead of plain sausages for that real christmas feel.

Is there any food that isn't improved by batter?

Out of curiosity, anyone know why the cock's standing on a basketball?

Netherlands captain is called Ryan Flamingo. If I'm Paul Mitchell I'm signing him based on that name alone. Might be why I'm not a sporting director mind. Also Miley touched the ball a couple of times. England U21s seem worse at passing out from the back than we are.

Motherfucker on comms nicked my research

Been having a little look around this site. Looks like it was designed in 1992 but has some useful stuff: Here's all NUFC players who played for England while they were NUFC players. Even gives the years they were an England player while NUFC. http://www.englandfootballonline.com/TeamClubs/Clubs/NewcastleUnited.html You can then go to the player and see what games they were in and the lineup. Lots of missing hyperlinks for the matches but you can copy and paste them into a search engine and the page'll show up. I think I found one competitive game with 3 NUFC starters: England Georgia, 30.4.1997 - Shearer, Batty, Lee http://www.englandfootballonline.com/Seas1990-00/1996-97/M0732Geo1997.html A couple of notes: Howey didn't play a competitive game - seems to have been 2 NUFC starters and 1 sub in his four friendly games. Beardsley only played in 2 competitive games for England after his return, Barton was the only NUFC player also in one of those squads (though Blackburn Shearer and Batty were there). Anyway, I've found a couple more with 2 NUFC starters and a sub, but I'm bored with it now so can anyone else find a 3 starter competitive game more recent than April 1997?

Our 3rd choice keeper has as many goals for England as Andy Cole.

16 points in the last 20 games and a -16 GD for the year. We literally Pardewed that 10th!

Top players are always going to get linked to other clubs. Top players during contract negotiations doubly so. He's got plenty of time left on his contract so I'd imagine this'll get done, but maybe with something like a release clause if we're not in Europe/Champions league by x year. That sort of thing.
