Sure, more space, but no football to kick in to the opposition goal. Because Allan will have it.

Aye, but the focus of the team will pivot to the left side. You dummkopf

Whey, they're all tiny, aren't they?

Well, we're waiting!

Maybe it's already sorted between Beige FC and Frank and that 'performance' was part of the deal?

I love him so much. Genuinely thought that wide forward was the place we needed to prioritise come January, but now? Miggy has made that position his own. Be interesting to see how his form is impacted by the return of ASM.

People bithcing about Newcastle winding the clock down are misdirecting their frustrations at their own team. If Spurs had taken their chances, or had found a route around Botman and Schar, if Lloris hadn't surrendered possession easily, if their players were better on the ball, if they created more high quality chances, then Newcastle wouldn't be killing the game off. As the away team, against a team targeting the CL spots, you'd expect them to dominate possession, spend most their time in the attacking 3rd, and create a good number of good chances. We had comparable possession ((53 - 47%), more touches in the final 3rd (132 - 176) , better pass completion (78-79%), and although they had more xG (1.57 - 1.13) 0.5 of that came from Kane's goal. Their Market Value (from Transfermarkt) was £426m for the match day squad. Ours was £287m. That's a £138m difference. Antonio Conte has won 1 Serie B, 4 Scudetto, 1 Premier League, 2 Supercoppa, 1 Fa Cup. Eddie Howe has won the EFL Championship, once. If you're a Spurs fan complaining that Newcastle United time wasted their way to victory a) you didn't watch the game and b) your team should have found a way to win anyway.

MATHS JOKE!

Mine insisted on us calling her mum, she also insisted on calling me David. How well is that working out for ya, Judy? Didn't think your darling boy would be such a stone cold rebel, did you? In your face!

"mum"?!

Also, for the first time in a long time we've a identity as a squad. So while the squad depth will improve in quality, the identity of the club should bleed into the development squads. That should mean that even if fixture congestion means we name a much changed squad for an FA cup game against Barnet, the core approach won't diverge too far from the norm.

Never heard of it until now, quick youtube and my interest is piqued, though I worry it may already have peaked. Words are fun, aren't they? Piqued, peaked. Homonyms.

That's what headphones and tablets are for. She can do what she likes, doesn't impact my day.

Apparently they think it'll be Poch or Emery.

They look a doomed club. No ideas, no fight, no organisation. Getting shot of Gerrard is a good start, but dunno how deep the rot goes.

Get the house fitted with Smart Bulbs, get a staff and a robe, and declare yourself the Keeper of the Light. Anytime she forgets her place, plunge the house into darkness.

When will you drop the "It's like Blackpool Illuminations in here!"? I used that recently. Did. not. go. down. well.

With a little Zeljeznicar thrown in? Maybe a dash of Breda?

I could imagine you getting a regular close shave at a barbers. Like a Mafia Don.

Yeah, I know anything is possible, but honestly, that season, so many factors lead to our ridiculous finish. Not just our own good fortune with form/injuries, but other clubs had (by their standards) terrible seasons. Liverpool, Chelsea a stack of usually midtable clubs. All 3 promoted sides survived, and I'm not sure but I'm fairly confident that it's unheard of for 2 promoted clubs to get to 47pts. I don't see that repeating itself this season.

You're 50:50 on us winning the league? Typical deluded Geordie. In all honesty, I've not been moved from my pre-season prediction. I think we'll get injuries to our strike force that'll mean we'll drop points. If Isak and Wilson are both out at the same time, we'd be relying on Wood and Wood does what Wood does, which isn't a great deal. Dunno if you've ever looked at some Wood, but it just sits there and does fuck all.
