The Fish

Yep, They're working so hard in every game so a couple of injuries and/or the Christmas period may see them drop off the pace a little, just as teams like Brighton, Norwich and ourselves really get into our respective strides. I'm washing my hair.

You can't have been that keen...

I'd not be surprised to see Sels return, less pressure from the Newcastle home fans, up against a side that likely won't test him too much? re: Jerome's goal; Not especially, but then I've never been a 'keeper and maybe his positioning was off in the 1st place? Dunno.

After the initial disappointments against Fulham and Huddersfield, any time we've not done well, I've blamed the players, rather than Rafa. I mean, when Pardew makes a Leftback for Leftback change on 60m minutes regardless of the way the game is playing out, I feel vindicated in questioning him. When I was baffled by the QPR selection we twatted them 6-0. In Rafa we trust.

Nissan won't leave, they're committed to the area. It's just scare tactics. http://www.politico.eu/article/nissan-investment-in-doubt-over-brexit-sunderland/

This was before 5:30 in the morning. I think you can sneak it in under the "Drunk as fuck" clause on TT. We all know that you were just up early changing the AAA battery keeping you alive, and will look the other way.

I'd be floored if a sense of fairness trumped money.

He 100% doesn't know the "politically correct" term for gay, or black.

Counter-intuitively, I think this squad would benefit from an air of superiority in some fixtures. Setting up with 2 up front away from home (and maybe giving a debut to our inexperienced flouncy left back) might give the lads the self-belief to really go at Rotherham?

is there anyway you could feed a hotdog through it?

If you add pancetta instead of capers we can still be still friends. (I've nothing against capers, but them and pancetta would be too salty)

From a Rotherham message board;

I don't think I've ever opened this thread to see anything but vitriolic contempt for the cyclists from Wykiki

Reported.

Luke Cage released on Netflix today, looking forward to binge watching that tonight. Going to have chicken and grits, drink a 40 out of a brown paper bag and get shot by a cop to really get into the mood.

I'm not happy it's happening in here, but I do take some pleasure from seeing your position mocked.

It's not so much wanting a 4-4-2 for me, it's more about wanting to drop Diame (who isn't doing much) and start Mitrovic (who needs to get game time). If you're doing that, it makes sense to play Mitrovic up front alongside Gayle. If you're going to try 4-4-2, away to rock bottom Rotherham is the time to try it. Less pressure from the Newcastle support, facing a comparatively weak opposition and after a confidence boosting last gasp winner. Rotherham have conceded 2 or more in all but 1 game (a 1-0 win against Brentford) giving them the worst defence in the league. We've scored 21, scoring twice in 3/4s of our games and boasting the best attack in the league.

Pardew would take a copy to watch at home, strip off and self abuse muttering at the screen "Vees mahgs aint fahkin shit mate, you're the king!"

He is though, it's the other facets to Messi's game that sets him apart; his vision, his application, his generosity. On pure control of the ball Ben Arfa is as gifted as Messi. One thing I've wondered, would Messi worked as hard and been so generous had he started his professional career elsewhere? He's unbelievably good at football, but if he'd started life at Sevilla would he have been honed into the player we see now? Frustrated at the ability of his team mates would he have taken on responsibility to try and beat 6 men and score himself, rather than passing? Seeing the brace he scored wiped out by poor defending would he become fed up and stop putting in the effort? Without players making clever runs would he know how to spot them? Dunno, and it's no excuse for a lot of Ben Arfa's faults, but is Messi the best player on the planet as much because of the opportunities as it is because of his talent? Or simply that he grasped those opportunities with both hands where Ben Arfa watched them go by?

Matt Ritchie with 1 goal and three assists, Matt Ritchie who has consistently been one our better performers in every game he's played... that Matt Ritchie?

I think he's a forward, but he's played off the flanks much more than from the centre. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yoan-gouffran/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/23825

So? I didn't find out about WWII first hand either. My sisters are unmitigated arseholes, this is true.

I beginning to think 90% of my opinion on this is born out of stand-ups repeating it.

My Dad's dad was a horrible prick, he was dead before my 1st birthday.
