They're going to win from a handball decision, aren't they?

Oh shut up, you clueless cunt. "What they've been doing for years"

Hope Shearer volleys his bollocks out of his ears tbh.

Krul, calm and collected.

sitter

We could do with a sub.

I wonder if Mark Lawrenson's skin will turn to hives if he compliments anything about Newcastle.

Krul is two for two on quality first team performances

GET IN!

Tell you what, we cannot persist with Shola. We've seen nowt to suggest he'll be any good down this level. Carroll has put himself about well but he's been his usual lethargic self.

Krul on. Harper off with concussion.

what the shitting fuckfarts are these two doing on?

Coloccini, man. You get the fucking round, bastard leather thing not the fleshy, human thing.

Got a whole season of this, lads.

Not being able to defend set pieces is a part of what relegated us last year. Glad to see it's remained.

I'm not even kidding. Has Nolan been on the ball? Like a fucking ghost; what a carthorse.

Way to not prove me wrong, Ryan.

Why has the talking point of Ryan Taylor being a free-kick specialist endured?

Coloccini being beaten for pace like a sweat shop worker who has missed his quota.

Didn't even realise Nolan was playing.

He's the top football journo iyam. Top by a long, long, way anarl. Agreed. George Caulkin is a good journo as well. You can tell they've spent a lot of years covering the game and because of that, their pieces are always well researched and intelligent. Winter was usually the only one to talk any sense on that Sunday Supplement wind-up-a-thon too.

I expect Geremi to come on at some point. Just because it's that kind of day where things are obviously going to go wrong.

Can't say I'm excited. More the opposite tbh. It'll probably change when it's nearing kick-off like.

Literally can't fathom any optimism right now. There's not a single bright spark with this club.
