🎶 Snow is falling All around us Grown men crying, everywhere Children crying in the lower Bullens, Merry Christmas, Everton. 🎵

Very happy with Longstaff’s performances. He’s gone from being someone practically everyone wanted out the club to a major part of our being in the CL spots. I’m sure there are plenty of upgrades out there but he’s doing sone sterling work. Another Howe success story

Embarrassing day at the match today. Youngest daughter booked the tickets and had us seated in the middle of a row. Obvs had a little too much to drink and after 10 minutes had to excuse myself for a piss….. Then couldn’t find my seat so had to wait downstairs to be rescued at half time Mortified.

I'm just loving this fewm. As Gemmill said, this lad will wake up tomorrow and have 5 seconds 'til he remembers and the fewm sets back in. "Yawn. Morning pet.... *memory kicks in* Ah naaahs, they'se barbaric child raping fuckers man.... FTM "

Don't know if it's been mentioned but we have to suspect TBD is psychic given the thread title regarding Mitrovic.

I can't keep up, here's me still thinking sportswashing was the ugly face of modern football.

I guarantee you that The Fish will spontaneously jizz in his pants upon reading the above quote.

After 10 minutes? You shouldn’t be allowed into any stadium with this bladder except the SOL with their convertible toilet seats

Got in the Trent that early that I was told they would let me know when it was time to start serving

It didn't take itself very seriously, I said, it didn't take itself very seriously

They're living in our heads rent free in *checks notes* POST 805 of today's Newcastle match thread.

I don't think they will now. They control games. They look a bit like Man City at times. I think the only thing that will stop them is injuries to key players (Saliba, Odegaard, Saka and/or Partey) Pep must be pissed off he sold Jesus and Zinchenko to these seemingly thinking they weren't a threat to the title.

News just in - Rafa was watching

SHITHOUSE MODE ENGAGE.

Slipped when he took it, hit it with his right but it hit his left (which had slid forward). Pope spotted it straight away, presumably because he knew he had initially dived the right way and the ball changed direction.

much easier taking the m5/m42/a42/m1/a1 route. especially when you're not driving!

It’s about to get tasty- you want some you fahckin’ slaaag???

Sounds like the new Hugo Viana

Up to date with his football then

"Hello? Is that Travelodge? Yes, I was wondering if you have the room available that the only fans porn shoot took place in at the Cobalt? Also have you washed the sheets yet? My name? Ah, yes, it's Mr M.F. Ist."

“Tonight’s match on sky is a ‘big 10’ match between Chelsea and Liverpool. Who can win and close the gap on mighty Brentford?! Find out LIVE!!”

Also looks to me like he is bulking up a bit, whilst Joelinton is becoming leaner. Which is good because it gives him strength on the ball, whilst big Joe is becoming faster. Maybe Joelinton's a muscle donor.

Just seen the goal. Great to see Wilson keep digging and great anticipation from Isak. The buzz when we scored. Shame CT was on the concourse wondering why he was wearing a nappy.

Not arsed. They can keep us out of the title challenging patter. I’m just looking at the table contentedly.

So yeah, they showed the pen incident on the big screen. The weird thing was how long it took VAR to give rhe decision, seemed like ages with us winning a corner in the Gallowgate in the mean time. The locals were not amused. Didn't think the Trippier incident was a pen but thought Burn's shirt pull immediately prior was a stone wall pen anyway so fair enough. As for the double touch, no, honestly didn't notice. Thought he had ballooned it only for it to float into the net. Didn't even know why it was disallowed until I read the Sky Sports app. Tell you what though, it would have been a travesty if they had won. Other than the penalty, I don't recall Pope being tested once. And that's not to say Fulham were shit, they actually played very well. We are just fucking brilliant now (other than finishing).

I particularly like "Everty team they play fails to turn up* and "They must be the luckiest team, ever".

Aye ASM seemed to be working hard. Great to see that he isn't just sulking on the bench. He's got a big role to play between now and the end of the season. Isak looks like one of those players that just make things happen when he's playing. Can't wait to see what he does with full match sharpness.

Great win. That was a hard-earned win. Fulham gave us a great game but we just about deserved the win. We are fucking mint man. The sky is the limit as long as @thebrokendoll keeps starting the match threads

Brilliant for Isak to get back to scoring. That'll hold us in good stead to have our stud striker back in fitness and form.

Straight onto RTG for me

Never doubted it 😂

Oi Sky you cunts, this is the Newcastle vs Fulham match, we don’t give a shit about Arsenal vs Tottenham game.

I’m not sure if @Howmanheyman has become head of programming at ITV4 but this is the second day in a row they’ve shown The Guns of Navarone

Lest we forget…

He's so Emily bishop isn't he?

I was on the pitch against the mackems. 16 going on 17 and knew the score. My dad called me a knacker when I admitted I'd been on the pitch later on that night which was part of the penny dropping process.

What an account this is 😂

I was there too, absolutely mental scenes at the end. Only game I ever left before the final whistle was the play offs against the Mackems when it kicked off. My old man had parked in Terrace Place and was shitting it that his windows would be put in if he left it any later.

Hey, that's not bad going at our age.

Obviously the club had their reasons for not going for him but you have to assume he’d be a different player under Eddie Howe.
