Unai both know he's way better than Howe.

You should change your username; Eeyore, Droopy, Marvin

They went through it all with Conte in the Summer, it will have been a pretty easy appointment. Levy is also the man who took 10 weeks to appoint Mourinho.

I don't think so. But we'll be fine man.

Nerdista? (It's like a trequartista, but most of it's contribution happens off-screen)

I'm on a work call, playing FM22, answering you and alt-tabbing to that post.

Well, they've tried to boil the criteria down to a few arbitrary factors. Instead of looking at what possible systems, possible coaches will play. Half of the players they mention aren't getting into the squads because they're not good enough for the teams gunning for Europe, and given we're going to need that level of performance in the tail end of the season, they're not the players for us.

No.

A run of wins, a run of draws. We managed it under Bruce ffs.

That's a lack of confidence/coaching. The kind of managers we've been linked with will sort that shit out.

We're 6 points off safety, right? Two rounds of fixtures and we could be level. We have 28 games left. We were never going to win this game. Divint worry man.

It's an active board filled with people who are wrong. I enjoy swimming against the tide.

It's someone who just wanted to talk about his beloved club.

Last season we went on a run of 2 wins in 22 games. Twenty Two.

Reading their board, it sounds like he's not exactly filling them with excitement. Might be a bit of a Mike Ashley character. Apparently his old club have regressed, he's put his mates in positions of power, that kind of thing.

Don't think we can be 100% certain on our opinions of what players can and can't do until we see them with a competent manager at the helm. If Lewis gets some coaching he might be a decent Left Back. Almiron might return to the kind of performances we saw under Benitez. Saint Maximin might be utilised in such a way as to allow him freedom without asking any tracking back from him. Hell, Joelinton might be a useful player in the right system, for all we know.

And successfully too.

Proof that I can be brief. My wife can attest.

Now you're talking my language.

What, to keep my hair out of my eyes? Early onset male pattern baldness took care of that.

Seaton Sluice is near Blyth numbnuts. Rag n Boneman just filmed his new music video there. It's the Joshua Tree of Northumberlan.

My Dad's from Glasgow, I grew up near Blyth, I fucked off to Leeds Uni. I'm basically a better version of Mark Knopfler.

Realistically, we're not going to convince Declan Rice to leave West Ham and join us right now. I would be more worried about Newcastle signing the best of European up and coming talent, than I would be about us signing James Tarkowski or whomever. We're not yet at the stage where we can cherry pick the best players in the same way Liverpool, Man City or Man Utd can, so what's their worry? There's only 4-5 clubs we could nick a player from, so I cannot imagine that 19 clubs will get together to stop us signing PL talent.
