Holden McGroin

I’ve always said he is average. You’ve flip flopped from wanting him in the England team to being worse than Billy Askew. i just don’t criticise him for every bad pass in a game. He actually tries his best and was clearly playing through an injury last season. Overall though he needs replacing alongside Almiron. I suspect the entire fan base knows this though.

Aye. What a shit statement. I’m sure the club are fully aware of the risk and consequence of the strategy. We aren’t the Venkys.

Yeah, agree with that. I’m not sure what his best position is and if he even fits in with a Howe formation. I think he has been particularly unlucky with injuries when he has tried to break through and has never had a run in a settled position. I just find it sad when a local lad with a bit of talent is sold on. Longstaff doesn’t have his ability and is surely at the point where we need to upgrade him so if it was a toss up I’d lose Ciggy.

He is strong, can play multiple positions, either footed, decent in the air. I think what I like about him most is he can take a ball on the turn superbly. Not many players can do that. He might well end up being an average player but I think there is a player in there and moving away from Eddie Howe will affect his career. From the financial position we are in , I can see why the club have done it but it’s sad for a player to be shifted out for PSR rather than being unwanted.

I’m absolutely gutted for Anderson. A young Newcastle fan that dreamed of playing for his home town club an no doubt doesn’t want to leave. Now we are out of Europe his game time would have been less but I’m sure the aim would be to get back in next year. He can cover loads of positions and looks like Eddie rated him. Sadly he has been the sacrificial lamb. I would have rather got rid of Longstaff or a load of the dross but I’m sure we tried.

What is?

Denmark have been desperately unlucky.

Archie Gray is signing for Brentford.

He is definitely modelling his campaign on Trump.

And the Copa America. Almiron must be on the unofficial transfer list.

I know someone on that flight. The armed guard came on to escort him off. Apparently there were chants of “Fuck the Tories”

Clearly ignoring Trippier getting his 50th cap v Slovenia.

I didn’t realise his stats were that good to be fair. I still haven’t been impressed with him and he isn’t a player that will get us in top 4. My opinion of course.

We are sailing close to the wind to get any deal done before end of 30th June.

I would not be happy with that deal. Elanga is no improvement over Almiron. I suppose it will save us 6 points though.

AC/DC are playing Wembley next week. They are amazing live.

I’ll be disappointed too; but i think ill still watch football afterwards. I’d rather sell Isak than Bruno. Although, I’d rather sell neither.

Aye, I had that with The Dark. Asbolutely loved the first season. 10/10. Then when I went to watch Series 2 I didn't have a clue and can't be arsed to go through S1 again

Rumours circulating that Andrew Baker is a paid actor and it's a set up from C4. He has denied this but that far right are having none of it. A bit like when the mackems fail to accept that Bilbao have no links with them.

Why the fuck does he want to go to Everton? Absolute graveyard of wasted talent.

I nearly gave up after 4 episodes of Succession but episode 5 was excellent so I’m going to soldier on.

Before the tournament started I would have said our defence (mainly central) looks very weak and our attack looks as good as anything around. That seems to have reversed in a matter of games. The 3 teams we’ve played have just sat back and I suspect Slovakia will do the same. Maybe we’ll see a bit more space for the forward players if we come up against a team that wants to get out their own half.

He could 1-0 win his way to the title and Wykiki still wouldn’t celebrate.

Aye. It’ll be someone like Akanji or something like that. Wasn’t the quickest PL player recorded last season, like Dara O’Shea?

Doku?
