Knew that was coming

That’s fine, if you were being reasonable and making constructive criticism. Rather than arguing this window has been disastrous. Or insisting a player who’s contributed next to fuck all should be starting in a side that’s got to a cup final and to 3rd in the league mostly without him. Fair enough though, you could just be clueless 👍🏻

Whilst the second in particular was a great team goal the first was a good finish but one where the keeper might think he should’ve done better. But even if he had it would’ve been difficult not to save it into a dangerous area. I don’t mean that as a criticism of Longstaff in any way, rather to highlight the importance of working the keeper and forcing a save when you get into those positions.

They’d just say the Fabinho one was an error and VAR officials have been briefed accordingly. I thought Fabinho’s was worse due to the obvious intent

This lad and his rancid patter (in general) reeks of mackem like. In fact I’d rather he was because it’s fucking embarrassing if he’s actually a Newcastle fan

Highlights of the match plus the second leg of Man Utd v Forest is on ITV4 tonight at 10.30

Feel like I should’ve staged an intervention in Palmersville aldi that time after watching that

Oh, no. They’ve really owned us again there

The other thing is the extension clause it would’ve triggered.

Letting Shelvey go is a no brained in the circumstances even if you can’t get a replacement. You’d be fucked as far as CL qualification goes anyway if he needed to play many games

Never in doubt

More turgid football from the spawny mags

CT is some fucking boy like

Hey big spender

I got myself a pair of the air max 97s as I got a £100 voucher. Basically paid a premium for them being really plain and boring. I was into them first time round so I’m kidding myself I don’t look like a sad old man

That goals bonus was ambitious

I think he’s hoping to pull

Gloom nailed on to get a red, gold and green pair with Ganja Kru on the right and left tongue instead of the swoosh

Incidentally the Nike website does custom ones. So you could just make them look like the original gold or silver ones. As opposed to abhorrations most of the reissues are in terms of colour schemes. They only cost an extra tenner or so iirc

as funny as the patter is, the player’s nonplussed reaction to the deal being done was the best part

That’s a far better reason than the ones hanging on his every tweet tbf

I mean they could well be after him but the timing of the story is a bit convenient from a news point of view. If they really wanted him you’d think they’d at least test the waters now, maybe even offering some players on exchange on loan or otherwise.

But if it’s just paper talk on a quiet-ish deadline day we’ll all have him here in a shot

He did quite a lot (to put it mildly) and Trump’s in his pocket. The Trump years emboldened him even more, knowing he could get away with it without America reacting. This wasn’t something out of the blue. It’s not all on Trump because he’s been doing it since before he was in power too, without enough in the way of consequences. Given where we are now though a return to Trump in the White House would only serve to make things worse imo
