Was how Spain's manager got his job, he's spent the last decade or so managing up the Spain youth teams until he got the main gig.

Should have been more injury time given the time wasting but best team won tbf.

Feels like both teams content with penalties.

Unless we were to sign him and loan him back, which would make more sense than signing him and sitting him on the bench. Did well in League One. Struggled in the Premiership. Year in the Championship seems logical for his development.

'Bunce' and 'bacon' can both refer to making money as well. Coincidence?

Well I hope Miggy stays forever and continues to rile everyone who still hasn't made their peace with his lack of a right foot. I hope he wins a massive lottery payout, buys the club and then proceeds to assemble a squad of only the most one-footed lefties on the market. And I hope he smiles, happily, the whole time.

I really like the top one as well, think pretty much anyone could wear that, it's a sober colour and pretty subtle in its detailing. Second one, could be that camo stuff's just not my thing, but I'd be concerned it might make you look like the sort of person who takes paintballing way too seriously.

Sad to see them go, they brought a very personable feel to the club's board and played a huge part in what has been a happy and prosperous period for the club.

I'd also like to know just how class the atmposphere at SJP is, and just how important it is that the atmosphere is class. If he has any thoughts on just how much he loves a No. 9 that'd be a bonus too.

I reckon Jack's got picked simply because of his thread-starting noteriety. He's the Boris Johnson of the forum, ensuring he hogs the public eye.

He has the teeth of a Liverpool player. Keep the faith.

I'd say 16 in 43 games is a good return from a 20/21 year old in his first year in the country.

"Chelsea also not considering a bid" seems a massive red flag to me.

Olmo looks a clasy player from the little I've seen of him. That said, 95 days out, 84 days out and 111 days out though injury over the last 3 seasons would be a bit of a concern if he was to be our big summer signing. Might be less injury risk for him in a slightly slower more technical league. Anyway, I suspect there will be bigger octopuses that us looking to get their tentacles on him.

Big Jow! Since the takeover Trippier's been the team's brains. Bruno's been the team's heart. Big Dan Burn's been the team's soul. But Big Jow's been the team's massive swinging dick, sweeping aside all who stand before him. Let's hope he's in good health and ready to come out swinging.

Basically, everyone makes better-looking shirts than Adidas. But that sweet, sweet up front payment!

Not a handball for me, arm movement looked pretty natural even if they were out wide. Arms do go out wide for balance sometimes. Wasn't a penalty either for me. Ultimately the defender's instinctively just sticking a foot out to block the shot. If anything Kane kicks him in his follow through. For it to be a foul it has to be careless, reckless or using excessive force. Don't think it was any of those. It's whatever the footballing equivalent of a racing incident is. Overall, first half much better. Kind of how I would expect us to be able to play, though I can only really remember Foden's off-the-line as a clear cut chance. Second half was largely pretty turgid again. Overall thought we deserved the win. Thought the Netherhollands were very unimpressive though for the most part. First half they were all over the shop defensively, no-one seemed to be picking anyone up, which helped us out. 2nd half they got organised and largely shut our attacking game down but looked very uninspiring going forward.

Wonderful finish from Watkins. Probably deserved overall as first half Dutch decided not to mark and we were quite dominant, though I can only remember one really clear cut chance. Second half they decided to mark us and largely nothing happened. Overall though we were better than them. Have to say I was very underwhelmed with the Netherhollands. Thought they would have something about them going forward.

Trippier OP

It's the mo-fo's still staring into their phone while celebrating that gets me the most. Deport those fuckers to Rwanda.

newcastle-online doesn't fulfil brummie. Ban that ingrate!

Look at all those fuckers on their phones during the penalty. WATCH THE EVENT YOU SAD FUCKS. No-one cares about your shitty phone footage. Professional camera operators with far better equipmant have filmed it. God I hate smart phones.

Much better performance - this should be our baseline level with the players we have - though I can't remember many clear-cut chances, other than foden's that was cleared off the line. Dutchies have been turbo-gash though. They don't seem to mark people in midfield which has helped.

Netherlands don't seem to have any defensive structure.
