    Merino is defensively better than Hayden based on that showing. He could partner someone else there and be effective if he makes better decisions with the ball. By effective I obviously mean limiting the number of goals we're defeated by.

    They were shit, we were turbo-shit.

    The tail end of the season. Ant's comment had me flashing back to miserable late night/early morning watches of games where we had no shots on target.
  4. OTF
    It's pretty grim. Already reminiscent of the 2008/9 season.
  5. OTF
    What a horrid passage of passing that just was.
  6. OTF
    I agree, Atsu has been as bad today as he was good last week and Ritchie is having an irritated game, they seldom end well.
  7. OTF
    Surely some nerves but Merino's passing has been horrible. Positive is that he seems to read the play defensively very well.
  8. OTF
    Literally can't be worse off by subbing Gayle.
  9. OTF
    Good finish Mooy, but shoddy defending unsurprisingly way too much time in the lead up.
  10. OTF
    Yeah, Gayle is waiting for balls that aren't coming with the way we're playing. Very sloppy passing. Agree that Ritchie could come off, give Murphy a run. If we're actually going to look after the ball perhaps make room for Joselu or Mitro.

    Nice close up of Rafa's shoes.
  12. OTF
    Looked intentional, not comparable to Shelvey obviously, but probably more force behind it.

    I think you'll find his other lung actually fell out in a shopping incident.

    Nice stamping for his trouble there, but nothing to be said of it.
  15. OTF
    I didn't read your tripe until it was too late unfortunately.

    Good to see you taking on the big issues in classic Noelie fashion. The merry merry king of our bush down under once had a gay life but times change and words are reappropriated routinely. There's no reason not to have this group I say, so if it makes any supporters of the club feel more comfortable then I'm right behind it (because I'm a pitcher not a catcher).

    I've recently bought a road bike also, and a bunch of the gear too. Padded bib pants are a must. Only just switched over to cleats and after the last ride had sore knees and cramping/pain in my right foot. On the GPS front I have a samsung gear fit2 that came with my phone that is reasonable. I bought a small cheap Lezyne GPS so that I could have a HUD showing speed, distance etc. It's a bit clunky to interface with Strava (have to connect to a PC to upload the ride and then it syncs) but for starting out it's perfect.

    I'm clearly not a proper supporter, I've only seen us play in the flesh once and I've just been in it for the immense numbers of trophies we've won over the last 20 odd years. Now that the well has dried up I'm going to move on to the next big club, anyone know any Middlesbrough songs?

    I did actually have quick look at his twitter feed, clearly I am shit at twitter. Thanks.
  20. OTF
    What has he said?
  21. OTF
    It never rains it pours. Either that or it drizzles shit.
  22. OTF
    Reckon we would have seen Murphy and potentially Mitrovic depending on the score. Merino still would have come on I think, but not in place of Gayle who might have made way for Murphy instead.
  23. OTF
    Honestly don't think he's to blame for the Alli goal. Lascelles was the goalside defender much closer to their player when he started that run. It was more down to being an exceptional run and pass tbh. Also don't think you can be overly critical in a game where we lost a defender in the first 5 minutes and another 25 odd minutes later.

    It's being used to pay Sports Direct for the PR advice they provide to the club. That and filling in the bore hole that was paid for with transfer funds 5+ years ago. We're also paying the full wages of some of the additional dead wood that have returned from loans. And don't forget that the stadium hasn't been renamed so we've forgone that massive windfall because the Geordie masses would rather be in a relegation scrap than have a club that's effective in securing funding from sponsors. Take a look at our demurely adorned ground where we've opted for the traditional beauty of a football stadium over garish advertisement hoardings ad infinitum. Also now that we're into the 6th year of our latest 5 year plan things might be a little unclear.

    Merino could be better than Shelvey in games against top opposition. Shelvey is positionally useless in defense in such games so just being there has Merino on equal footing. He should have more defensive awareness and a better engine given his age. From the tiny bit we've seen he has a good temperament.
