Last season after Rondon was fit and Almiron signed we played 3-4-3. Go back to that, drop Shelvey and bring Manquillo in

Quite looking forward to the craft ale concession and on site bakery too

In an utterly unpredictable move, the EU have rejected our new PMs proposals to get rid of the the backstop from the WA

If the fee is less than suggested by the club then I expect the FA compliance unit to have a look at it. Was there anyone else in for our record breaking 7 goal striker to push the price up to a club record 40 million?

The situation where tv viewers know more than the ref has been ridiculous since “action replays” were introduced. The situation has become increasingly untenable since the advent of pay tv. So I can largely accept that the tech had to come in. To change the rules of the game off the back of it though is really taking the piss. It’s all media driven. As if it’s THEIR game. What about helping the folk creating the atmosphere in the actual stadium to understand what the fuck is going on first?

There’s a reason Rafa didn’t pick him after he came back from injury last season...

Yes. I see that. How many in the stadium saw the handball though? Did the Spurs defenders surround the ref after Jesus eventually scored? It’s fundamentally changing the game for the sake of tv. Am hoping you can see that side of it too. Am also looking forward to the first attacker blasting a ball at a players arm to get a penalty this season 👍

He used to work for that cunt 🤣

The ground anorak is the most placid and reasonable fucker I’ve ever met. We went to Hibs pre season (another ✅ for him) and we’re going Sunday then after that even he’s giving up. 350 loyalty points. The chicken farmer I can’t say too much about as he’s usually under investigation by at least two different county constabularies simultaneously We’ve got midweek always v Everton & Sheff Utd pre Christmas. We might “get the band back together” for them but that depends we look like beating Derby’s 11 points or not..

Im going Only to keep a sad new ground box ticker company and meeting an old mate pre match who doesn’t get to many games any more because he’s now one of the UKs leading chicken farmers

I get this and largely agree but they had to change the law for the Man City goal to be ruled out last night. After 131 years of the laws of the game being virtually unchanged they’ve been changed not to ensure fairness but to appease the media and tv audiences.

I am an unashamedly sad bitter old cunt. But I did tell you all this is how it would play out.....

The new handball rule was brought in because of VAR. They’ll change offside because of VAR too. VAR was brought in because Joe Bloggs sat at home with his sky subscription knew more about what had actually happened on the pitch than the ref, players or any other fucker in the stadium. The tail wagging the dog. When goal line tech came in I said on here it wouldn’t be long before everything is refffed electronically like Cricket and was fuckin annihilated for doin so. When Andrew wakes up am sure I’ll be subjected to another informed and erudite verbal beasting from him about the glories of football matches bring decided not on the field of play but by faceless, shadowy figures in a truck sat in a car park in an anonymous London suburb. Not my game anymore. The YouTube/Instagram generation are welcome to it.

You’re telling bitter middle aged bastards to suck eggs. Good luck for the season. Just understand Newcastle are an advertising hoarding for sports shops not a football club so trying to talk football is a bit fuckin pointless

Yeah whatever Eddie Murphy

2/1 on your IP address being wearside....

A point at best 👍

Crowds won't drop significantly at SJP until long term deals have ended. And I suspect that Ashley will extend them for a second time before that happens

What I like about Scousers is their great sense of humour

Hes been done. Probably by the same Scots Guards close protection squad who Prince Phillip tasked with taking out the mother of the heir to the throne...or it could've been Trumps wiseguys...

Just looking at this and he's not wrong is he? Is he still alive or did he have a coronary in the bacon shed on 24th June 2016? ....

Would Rafa have signed him?...

As reactions to mass English jeering batting for what seemed like 3 weeks over two innings is a pretty good one. Id have Boycott drill the English batsmen morning noon & night till the start of the next Test. Not that its done any English batsman any good whatsoever over the last 30 years, they just deserve to be punished for capitulation.
