The Fish

Sam, Pearson, and it's got to be the likes of Eriksson, Pardew, right?

It no doubt helped him get where he got, but it also meant that he wasn't always doing what was best for Newcastle United.

His ego, for one.

A bag? You luddite!

I don't have a Brompton and technically the Aga belongs to my lass, but the Dyson is mine.

Unless they're matching your Ski Goggles?

9, but a couple that I don't have are definitely in my future.

Yes.

To be honest, I'm appalled that he's not a perfectly balanced player. As has been said, PSG knew exactly who he is, what he can and can't do and what you can and cannot expect him to do. I just really don't understand the anger and contempt he receives when his worst crime is not being great at putting in the effort on the defensive side of things. He's obviously a wonderfully talented footballer, who was a rare positive in a sea of negatives at Newcastle, he did brilliantly at Nice when given license to apply his talent and could do the same at PSG if he were held in higher regard. PSG would be questioned if they went out and bought Tiote and then criticised him because he couldn't contribute in the final 3rd. I just don't think that Graft > Talent, we may as well fuck off and watch Rugby if that was the case. He'll never be a world class player, but it was a joy to watch him play in Black and White. Now he's plying his trade elsewhere, where's the harm in remembering the good bits? Just like we gloss over Ginola's well documented failings, or Shearer's?

Reckon we'll lose this. lose I say

World tour of England (Home to see the folks & then back to London), I am entirely hungover. Randomly bumped into Meenzer and Cath in Newcastle before the Wolves cup game in Tilley's What have I missed?

One of the few things that "banter" accounts consistently do well. I'm enjoying the fact that if Allardyce leaves his England post, the FA will have fucked over the mackems season for nothing.

Pretty surprised Parky isn't a big fan of Walt Disney.

It was the use of "cunterhead". Arrogantly flippant.

You got minus points for predicting we'd score 6.

Lets not fuck about lads. Should see debuts for Lazaar and Murphy

What's the craic with van Aanholt? So far I've picked up that he was left out, a journalist asked Moyes why, Moyes stroppily said it was an injury. Is that it?

The positives to take from this, We've a game tomorrow to put this disappointment right It's still early in the Championship season CT didn't get any points for his predictions.

I can do, I think what you want is a dummy voter who always predicts that, right? If so, it shouldn't be a problem.

The Wolves fans seem to be, to a man, expecting a shellacking. Seems like Zenga is rotating their squad too much, and they think their defence is suffering because of it. I'd take a 1-0, but I've an awful feeling that a combination of over-confidence on our part and a Cup Final feel on theirs will lead to them taking the lead and us only managing a 1-1 draw.

Thought you sat with HMHM? Just get him to meet the lad at the turnstiles, take the ticket back off him when he goes through. Done. Howay PL, think of the friendship you could help blossom, HMHM and some spotty 14yr old who wants to tell him about how Perez would be best used as a raumdeuter in a gegenpressing style because his FIFA17 stats have his Flair as 98. Or something.

More chance of shifting this on twitter like.

"Can everyone please manage their predictions? What's that? My prediction? 6-2 obvs."

That's surely just Rafa not thinking Gamez is up to speed yet? The little I've seen he looks classy, but not yet ready for Championship football. With Benitez all but confirming that Lazaar is going to start in the cup on Tuesday i'd not be surprised if Gamez plays against Wolves, but saying that Clark and Dummett are doing ok at this level, so why rock the boat?
