Howay

"Ahhh wuz theeeyaaah when thuh laughed as we went doon" they clearly got to me.

iirc there's also pictures of white people holding signs that say "Hispanics for Trump" or something along those lines in Spanish which I'm pretty sure were also grammatically incorrect as well.

That is fucking brilliant. I love the fact there's a bloke in the front row wearing a Cleveland Browns top, without doubt the most dull NFL team because they never win owt, they're from Cleveland, they're called the browns, are never competitive and their logo is simply a picture of a helmet . If I had to pick an NFL team for Villa fans to like it would definitely be the Browns.

They whipped out a game of risk, nee one does away day board games like the Villa LADS. Boring fucking CUNTS.

Agree with all of that DK, I think Gayle would really excel alongside him. He can be a risk due to his aggressive style of play but sometimes players need that, I think part of the reason Rooney is so ineffective now is that managers have worked hard to take that aggression and passion out of his game that he had when he was younger. I think Diame finally made a good case for himself last night mind, I've been critical of him but he put on a good show. I do think that while he did operate just off Mitro he showed signs he'd be more effective in CM, some of his control when he dropped deep was good to see as he shielded the ball and took attention away from the CM's before passing to a wide open Hayden or Shelvey, then both of his goals came from longer range where he was arriving late and coming onto something like a CM would while his miss is more indicative of the positions he has been in and chances he has been missing playing off the striker.

We'd fucking batter them at the minute no doubt in my mind, they couldn't be more out of sorts and our lot have great chemistry and are in form. That's all before the fact that we have a better squad than them, they may argue that but utter crap like Donald Love, Paddy McNair, Rodwell, etc wouldn't get near our side.

Leeds win on pens, so hopefully we get them or Hull and get a Semi-Final out of this.

That's it like it shows our depth, Preston fans are all saying it was irrelevant as it was mostly their 2nd string but at the same time our side only had 4 of the same starters from the Ipswich game in it at kick off. Mitrovic is probably better than the majority of teams starting strikers (imo he's definitely better) and he's barely getting a look in at the moment.

I just looked up a Preston forum because of what you put about them thinking they were going to win at the weekend, fucking hell man, a fair few of them keep saying we're over-confident, while it's a possibility it's yet to be seen in the last 10 games or so, so I don't see why they suddenly expect a team to roll up and expect a win before getting beat. I think it's far more likely they're going to see a team of players consisting of lads who just saw their back ups win 6-0.

I agree, but it would just be nice to see. Especially as the mackems are currently 'pissing' themselves that we're all so excited about beating Preston reserves, so it would be nice to piss on their cheesy chips and pump a 'PL' side. I find it a bit odd they're somehow trying to make a 6-0 win by us into some weird point scoring thing, as if they wouldn't enjoy their rabble beating anyone's reserves at the minute.

I watched it today and I genuinely don't know why I bother, it's fucking shite tbh. Not only did they fuck up the end to last season by leaving it on a cliff hanger that just created indifference rather than suspense, they then spent 20 minutes of this episode fucking about with a gormless Rick before finally revealing what happened and at that point I didn't give a flying fuck. I was actually on the side of the bloke you were meant to be angry with and thought it was a bit funny, that's how detached from the characters I feel now. Last season for me if it's like basically all the previous ones in that the mid-season finale and season finale are the only 'exciting' episodes with about 10 episodes in between of people just dicking around having relationship problems.

Preston reserves or not that was a fucking howking, they were barely in our half at any point. Some of their first teamers played as well so that'll have done their confidence the world of good. I hope we see a Gayle hat-trick and another high scoring win on Saturday. I'd actually like to see us get Hull in the next round, see how we stack up against one of the lower PL sides.

Aye, too be fair it was a lot of their back ups but at the same time it was a mixed team for us as well. As you say hopefully that's them in a negative mood for Saturday and we give them another good hiding.

If only he could hit the target inside the box the fucking loon.

Did Preston even prepare for this? Their winger just tried to beat Yedlin with pace ffs. This lot are absolute shite, real confidence in the squad now and almost as importantly real competition for spots keeping people from getting complacent.

:lol Missed a wide open net really, fucking hell that's what? 3 open nets he's missed this season?

This squad is far too good for the shite in this division.

:lol:"FTM"

The main worry wouldn't be attracting that type of manager it would be Ashley's interest (or lack of) in employing them if we're a comfortable mid-table team. He might happily go back to a cheap manager again at that point, it's basically impossible to determine Ashley's intentions at this point really.

:lol: Genuinely hope that's a pisstake because if it's in anyway serious or it's a mackem trying to be funny it's pathetic. It's also fucking hilarious when you think those two are probably two of the most notable mackems (even then Cram is from Jarrow which is 50/50 anyway), what a useless place.

There aren't words to describe how desperately sad that book is.

Aye I don't blame you. I don't rate our defence at all for what it's worth, however I also don't rate the effectiveness of the oppositions strikers too highly. I'm more just trying to enjoy this season and look at it as a Manchester United fan would have looked at seasons in the late 90's and early 2000's, in that I just expect us to roll teams over and us to win the league. My prediction is of course hinged on us not having some horrific injury crisis, but even then it'd have to be fairly significant with the depth we have (and buying power in Jan). I jokingly have pops at Adios and Rayvin for their hesitation to get carried away but I fully understand it in all honesty as like you said before this is NUFC. I'm just enjoying going over the top a bit and I know me posting in such an arrogant fashion will rile up the mackems that are no doubt reading the forum.

They've got paper thin squads though, look at Huddersfields back ups and you're looking at League One quality players some of our back ups are better than their starters. Hudds have only won games by 1 goal and play an extremely aggressive pressing style, once the fixture pile up really starts to happen they'll drop off. It's always going to be hard to create any sort of big gap early on especially as squad depth hasn't become an issue yet. We've already played a lot of the better sides in the division and are already top, now we just have to keep howking the shite which is something Norwich, Huddersfield, Brighton and co have been tripping up over lately. In comparison McCarthy basically alluded to the fact Ipswich pretty much rolled over for us. I genuinely don't rate (and don't like) Norwich, so I'm always going to write them off as a contender for top spot over us. Aye we are Newcastle but we've got by far the best squad and manager in this division, we also have the most money available come January if we need anyone and are the biggest draw. I just cannot see teams like Huddersfield, whose fan base is over the fucking moon to be where they are atm, challenging us by they 30+ games played mark. The Premier League is a different story completely but in this division we really are that strong imo. If you're genuinely worried about Huddersfield and Brighton both finishing above us then fair enough but I'm not worried at all about that now that I've seen how professional and competently Rafa is going about this division.

Aye I think that's fair, they put absolutely no pressure on the club for what was a totally dogshit season. It's something they always try to hold over us as well that they don't really try and force any action at their club but tbh it's probably, as you say, a fairly decent reason why they have been so absolutely shit for so long, why should the owner do anything if the fans aren't kicking up any fuss? They finished 1 point above a club that had a complete fucking meltdown during the season, lost some of their best players (who were on loan at them), and at that point they were still pleased with the direction of the club! They also genuinely rated Allardyce
