The Fish

Definitely let him go in the summer whether we survive or not. Still think we could get a decent amount for him, (he's still a French international in an era of massive competition for the front 6 positions) but another season at Newcastle will be one too many for either party.

Daredevil is much closer in tone to JJ than anything else out there. Don't think the second season was pro-vs-ant agonist as JJ & DD1 was. The 2 characters introduced in the 2nd season are leads in their own right and while their arcs are interesting, I think the show lacked the overarching menace that JJ & DD1 had in Killgrave and Wilson Fisk.

Haven't watched enough of Buffy to make that call, I thought it was mostly monster of the week stuff? The other comic book series that are out at the moment are Agents of Shield, Peggy Carter, then the DC stuff like Flash, Arrow and Gotham. They're all aimed at a younger market I reckon. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Lee "I'll give Dummet 6 or better every game because he's a Geordie" Ryder? Yeah I'll not take his view seriously at all, thanks... Especially when he gives Jack 6 & Moussa 5 despite, by his own admission, Sissoko grew into the game as it went on and your man Colback had to be hooked because he was going to be sent off. To be honest, Sissoko was better at fullback than Colback. re: the last bit, nice dig but we've all sat next to people at the match who haven't got a fucking clue what they're talking about and we've all stood next to people watching in the pub who've raised an interesting point, so I'll not bite to hard, ta. Oh and even if you were right, given your boycott, should we no longer take your opinions seriously?

I think so, aye. I'm happy to admit I'm a bigger fan of comicbook stuff than most on here, so I stuck a non-spoiler review in spoilers so people who aren't bothered, don't have to read it.

Thought Lascelles was fine, and while Sissoko was poor, it's Colback's thoughtlessness that has cost us 2 goals in the last 2 games. I know he's no Left Back, but both goals came from stupid fouls. He contributed nothing going forward and was comfortably undone by Fabio Borini, of all people.

Anyone watch the 2nd run of Daredevil?

I'd fancy them to do a Leeds. The biggest difference will be the attendances, they'll drop off a cliff if Aston VIlla don't return to the top flight immediately. Which would be nice.

Can't keep up.

There's rumours that they're in a really bad financial state and if Lerner can't find a buyer sharpish, they're fucked. Normally I wouldn't wish something really bad on any fans, but with Villa? I think I'd enjoy them spiralling down the leagues and frankly it might do them good to get a wake up call. Would you want them to go out of business entirely?

Looks too much like Steven Taylor to be trusted between the sticks, if you ask me.

Aye, but if it's someone like Pearson it doesn't scream "building for the future". They'd be better off using this relegation to clean house and start afresh.

He did, but he's not a brilliant 'keeper. Just not as bad as we thought.

No real change. 68% sure we're going down. If you're relying on a distinctly average 'keeper to endure survival, you're fucked already. IF we survive, it'll have little to do with which replacement 'keeper we field. Rafa gets the defence organised enough to keep out Norwich, Villa, Palace & Swansea, AND encourages the forwards to maybe try beating some of the worst defences in the league... that's what will drag us out of this shit.

Health benefits Martin, think of the health benefits!

It's the twitter thing isn't it?

Called "The Beast"?

Sort of NSFW that

Wonder what Goldberg from the Mighty Ducks is up to these days?

They're going for Pearson aren't they? Seems an odd time to do it. What's the new man going to do? They can get 37pts, maximum. Unless they want the new man to see which players he wants shot of in the summer. I'd imagine the ones he wants to go will be the ones who're wanting to go anyway.
