  1. Honestly think he’s a good to very good PL player. The stats don’t lie. There’s a couple of aspects to his game which prevent him from being absolutely top notch but his goal involvement and work rate make him one of our most important players. Fucking delighted for him
  2. I think it’s a bit mental to be upset about coasting through the second half given practically everyone who follows us and has a bit of nouse thinks our squad is on the thin side. If we’d scored another 5 in the second half (unlikely) we’d only be 1 goal better off than Chelsea. Or half a point, if you think of it like that. Much better to play it safe in a match that’s already wrapped up and save the players for the remaining 8 games.
  3. I don’t know as I’ve seen it mentioned on here but the official Newcastle United website just says Juventus have an obligation to buy him. But yes, there’s only 6 points between 3rd and 8th.
  4. Kelly played the full 90 minutes for Juve under new manager (canny bag of) Tudor as they drew 1-1 away to Roma. Decent end to the season and they should get CL football. Is it right the Kelly deal is dependent on them getting into Europe?
  5. Can’t believe no one has mentioned it’s international beaver day today
  6. Aye. But I did find it funny that the ones who didn’t got called mags
  7. I think HMHM was being sarcastic because we wouldn’t be allowed to get away with it. Our approach is far more sustainable and has also produced incredible results. I get the impatience because I’m no spring chicken but I don’t think pulling the sort of shit Chelsea are doing would be beneficial in the long run. It absolutely fucking stinks what Chelsea are being permitted to do though
  8. It’s a bit of a derby, both teams fighting for the CL spots, Villa in the quarterfinals, both teams past winners of the European Cup. Laughable really the disdain shown for teams the don’t meet Sky’s criteria of a ‘big club’.
  9. Looks like they’ve rested a few with midweek against PSG in mind. Although they’ve got a good squad and it’s still a good starting XI
  10. Nketiah was only on the pitch for 10 minutes
  11. All 3 reds were for two yellows according to BBC sport
  12. The fact Maddison joined them so he can live in London and his lass has better photos for Instagram sums up the type of club they’ve been for as long as I can remember
  13. I’ve got a mate who was a canny mellow, middle of the road type who has a nice house, nice family, good job and no financial worries who now regularly posts pro reform stuff on Facebook. It’s depressing as fuck. I do think removing yourself from the platform altogether is probably the best way forward like. Because none of Instagram / facebook / twitter has been a forum for genuine discussion for ages, if it ever really was.
  14. Well they play to his strengths. As AH pointed out we signed him because we were desperate and were aware of the release clause. He couldn’t really play in the system Howe wanted to play because of his lack of mobility. Even then we got good money for him. I’m more pleased for him than annoyed because he seems like a good lad. I think he’s having a purple patch though
  15. They can’t keep doing it though. They can within the regulations but surely not indefinitely from a viable business point of view.
  16. Robbie Elliott was a good lb too. Especially before the injuries caught up with him
  17. Aye. Like loads of stuff there’s an inferior uk brewed version. Even the mass produced European lagers are usually better in their original versions. Actually the knock offs you get in Aldi and Lidl are nicer too, and brewed in Italy. Also, if you’re ever in Majestic wines they do the red label Peroni. Which is a nice drop and still the original Italian version
  18. He looked poor because he couldn’t do it but he never hid. Showed his good character but limitations at the same time. He was neat and tidy in possession getting the ball off the back 4 but he absolutely needed a bit of creativity alongside him
  19. The baby faced cunt
  20. He’s from Lombardy so it should be risotto
