adios

And the broadcasters/pundits can get to fuck saying shite like Newcastle made a negligible attempt to win the game. It was fucking 33/1 for a win before the game. That's not down to Rafa or Newcastle, that's down to a fucked league that is partially their fucking fault. The gulf between best and (not even) worst in the league should not be that big, regardless of any other factors.

I thought it went exactly as expected. Keep it tight, have something to cheer about with 20 minutes to go, get done by the ref, lose comfortably. Good day's work.

I was also wondering what the fuck that was about. Played one of theirs onside at least two or three times in dangerous positions.

I'd be quite happy to see a 4-5-1 with Hayden behind Shelvey and Diamé as opposed to Diamé off Joselu so I hope you're right.

Draw's not the worst result for us; Everton can still get dragged into it.

At first glance, Diamé in an advanced position looks like suicide but I guess he's going to stay compact, hoof it for knockdowns or a Shelvey Hollywood ball for the counter?

He's talking to a journo who's talking to Staveley, and we actually believe this one!

I believe they started streaming all Championship games this season? That was certainly the plan.

He's gone in the summer if Ashley stays anyway. I think in the unlikely event that the stadium was suddenly half empty, he'd know why the fans were doing it and bide his time till the takeover and inevitable return of the crowds.

Off on the piss?

I feel like his entire staff has got the hump with being abused all the time and are just setting him up with this shite. It's reached a new level of performance art in recent weeks.

I'm not sure I give a fuck at this point which division it is if Ashley stays.

Newcastle win 4.5% of the time, really?? Might have to stick a few quid on the draw.

Fuck me you are old.

He has to be a black swan.

Jon Ronson makes a good case for it in The Psychopath Test. You pretty much have to be less risk-averse than the average person to succeed in business and men are more likely to fit that criterion. Of course we're also more likely to be too far along that spectrum and be degenerate gamblers. I have confirmed all of this by thinking about it.

Just listened to it.

This is a bit fucking grim. Let it out, Mr. Gloves.

So the big baby genius has hoyed his toys out of the pram because his sophomore business tactics failed spectacularly? I'm happier with that and the kind of people being linked with this bid than what could quite reasonably have been expected. Quite probably Tory cunts but at least not an oppressive regime. I assume the 'hurtful' comments are PR. Can't imagine she's genuinely upset that Ashley is such a thundercunt.

Can't decide which of you I want to disagree with more.

Because then I would have to speculate on something I haven't got the first clue about.
