Its a dumb comment by Aluko given Wrightys involvement is probably encouraging some interest in the women's game from fans of the men's game. She is a shit pundit but is hiding behind other arguments. People should get roles based on merit. The fact that she complains about people not liking women being involved in the men's game and then complaining about men being involved in the women's game speaks volumes about the type of character she is. The BBC seem to have got it right on the MOTD anchors as there's not been uproar about replacing Lineker. All 3 of them are well respected broadcasters and there's been nothing I've seen mentioned regarding gender from the usual dregs of society..

Just goes to show how players can develop with regular games under their belt. Pleased for him although wish he wasn't pushing us down the table.

I don't want them to have the satisfaction of a chance in a final. Bilbao to kill any hope in the Semis.

Old Whisky nose going to get himself shitfaced as usual. Hopefully someone will pump them in the semis and crush all hope of anything this season.

I know this is the Barnes thread but continuing on Longy, I feel a bit sorry for his position. Arguably he was doing the dirty work well but he's the kind of player who needs regular football to get the best out of him. At some point he became the scapegoat and the point of fans frustration which must be soul destroying for a player who is also a fan. He probably knows the writing is on the wall, doesn't want to leave but knows that he won't get game time sitting here on the bench.

Villa will want to avenge their defeat but must be tired after all their effort. We've cruised to a huge victory so tails up and energy levels will be high. Anything at Villa Park is a decent result I'd say. Our fixtures look pretty decent compared to others.

Absolutely ruined them. Good result for the GD.

My old man caught Pneumonia 6weeks ago and went into hospital but contracted sepsis and ended up with acute renal failure. Fortunately he's pulled through after what very much looked like the end but he's only just out of hospital. I Wish Eddie well.

Hope he's ok and it's more precautionary than anything else.

Murphy's success could largely be attributed to consistency and confidence. He's had the chance to make the position his own, grabbed a few assists and goals which has probably skyrocketed his confidence in a team full of stars and his decision making has been well, more decisive of late. It used to frustrate the fuck out of me when he would be part of a dynamic attack only to get so far and then play it inside or backwards. He's much improved in front of goal too. Living the dream as a Newcastle fan

Murph still proving his value. Club website has him on 11 goals 12 assists for the season.

His personality seems anything but though. If you got him as a room mate, I'm sure you'd want to fucking strangle him before you've even unpacked your bag.

Murphy probably clear evidence of that.

Was mental up by the stadium, kids climbing everywhere, someone had brought 2 caseys to knock about and flares were deployed. The noise was incredible. Absolute chaos but completely worth it
