No, no they really didn’t, we mullered them first hour but missed our chances, a couple of sucker punches later and we fell apart last 30 minutes chasing the game.

 

not so much fell apart, more atomising.

with the exception of liverpool (well, at least to a lesser extent) our 2nd half performances since the last international break have been a fucking disgrace.

[ohhh_yeah 2991]

 

Ruud van Nistelrooy's PSV career by numbers: 90 games. 77 goals.  2x league titles. 2x Golden Boot. 99-00 was ridiculous! Talk about a purple patch.

 

"The memory I have of Newcastle is Sir Bobby Robson. Leading up to this game, my thoughts went back to the year I had with him at PSV.

 

He was a wonderful man and thinking of him makes me smile. I will go there with that thought. Football, he was always talking about getting better and improving. You cannot control everything.

 

But to be a team and what it's like to be a team. The sense of humour he mixed in to motivate the players. It was amazing. Fight and spirit and emotion and being the best you can be."

My main memory of Van Nistlerooy is the 4-3 when Keane got sent off for throwing the ball at Shearer and had to be held back by that notorious hard man <checks notes> David Beckham  

 

I think O’Brein had RVN touch tight when the ball came across but the cloggie bastards turn and shot was simultaneously something he could do in his sleep v defenders of that standard and also world class

I love the <checks notes> insert

Not sure Murphy has done enough to be starting ahead of Barnes. Especially given we are playing his old club 

[Dazzler 10293]

Dubravka man, that’s almost worse than no goalie. Well my one match thread has been fun

[Ayatollah Hermione 13986]

If we lose to that centre half pairing and ESPECIALLY that central midfield pairing, I want everyone sacked

He's done loads more on the right than Barnes has in the last two games. Barnes isn't a right sided player. Murphy is.

[wykikitoon 20618]

We fully deserve to be shafted by the FA or PL for the PSr fiddle if we are playing Dubravka like.

Choudhury and Skipp overrunning our midfield would be in line with this seasons weird performances tbf no matter how criminal it would be to allow

[aimaad22 4217]

Dubravka ffs. Playing Leceister at home and now I'm genuinely terrified of turning on the telly 

 

[Gemmill 45832]

We'll be fine. It's not like we've put Tommy Cooper in goal. 

[Holden McGroin 6773]

That Leicester team is dog shit. Coady only plays well in a back 3 and Choudary and Skipp are not in the same league as our central midfield.

 

0-0.

[Holden McGroin 6773]

If they score the first goal then I fancy them to hang onto at least a point. 

[wykikitoon 20618]

I best start my feed now, I might be in tune by the time you lot start.

One of the mascots is a fucking ginger, does not bode well.

[Holden McGroin 6773]

Lost the coin toss again.

[Christmas Tree 4786]

7-0 nailed on. Even Lewis hall will score 

[wykikitoon 20618]

Errrr that's just Gemmill walking out after winning it in a raffle

Come on, it’s a big day for Gemmill.

[Ayatollah Hermione 13986]

How have we lost the toss again?!

[OTF 7416]

Sloppy start this

[wykikitoon 20618]

Fucking mint start
