China appears to be testing us with respect of how desperate we are in our post-Brexit outlook... I think the reality here is that we don't know how desperate we are yet, which is why the government has failed to give a conclusive response.

Didn't realise they had anyone worth getting upset about if they left? I'm sure they'll be fine though, they've still got O'Shea.

Just started Mr. Robot. Looks good! Enjoyed the first episode. Bleak and cynical outlook on society, let's just say it resonates

Trophyshy with the truth bombs. I can see this side tbf.

Thanks for that post Tom, didn't know much about huddersfield. Sounds like it'll be a tough game (aren't they all)

Great advert for Brazil, that is.

I don't really follow boxing but have to confess to picking up some interest in Fury. I recall watching him on some interview a little while back going on about how much weight he'd put on and how he was going to have to lose it, along with a general sentiment that suggested to me that he doesn't even like boxing all that much anyway... So yeah I'd agree with Alex - I reckon he'll close the book on this now.

He must fucking hate the guy. That tackle clearly was every bit as bad as we thought it was - assuming the follow up issues are recurrences of the same issue, anyway.

I think we need a win just to start believing in ourselves a bit (both fanbase and players). The longer we fail to get one, the more entrenched pessimism will become. Obviously one game against Fulham doesn't mean much, but we need to turn this around quickly and get on the front foot.

Is that all following on from that horror tackle from Mcmanaman (the first of the three knee injuries I think) or am I misremembering? Is it just bad luck?

Let's not make that a thing.

What is actually wrong with Haidara anyway? I don't think he's played for about a year or something, is he always just injured?

At the same time though, defenders are going to try to kick the shit out of him in this league. I can see both sides of this, as much as I want him to come good. If he plays regularly he'll probably be sent off at least twice this season.

Was tempted to go for a higher score but after Friday's reality check I'm going to go conservative. We still don't look like we can fashion chances very well to me and if we emphasise keeping it tight again, I suspect a narrow win.

See Gloom, they're just like us. Don't be so intolerant....!

China is fucking brilliant with customs like If you're flying to Beijing in a couple of weeks for China, brace yourself for all of the illegal 'assistants' to swarm you just after you get past security.

Well, it seems we're being jeered up and down the country now. Gonna be a long season of they keep this up.

Hah, true enough. Maybe we should all put more faith in our worst case scenarios...

No fucker'll be left at this rate...

We were away, in London, on the first game of the season. Let's not worry too much. Roll on the next game.

In more positive news, absolutely none of us got the score prediction right Shows what we know.

Standard fare for Newcastle. Ah well, it's only one game. Let's see how if we can pick up some momentum from here.
