Fucking Fernandez in my ff team. Trust us to let a pissy goal like that in at the very end.

Shame that didn't go in for Carroll.

Well I meant a team opposing us, but in general you are indeed correct.

Fair play to the lads, because you can only play what's in front of you, but I honestly can't remember a worse performance from an opposition team.

You do wonder a bit. Are the pundits just that dumb and don't really watch our games or pay attention to Bruce's complete lack of loyalty and beyond mediocre managerial past, or are they in some weird Jeffery Epsteinesque sex club and Brucey is the photographer.

Came off after the 60 minute mark at least.

Was going to get ASM for my fantasy team this week, but got Saiss off Wolves instead. Three assists later I'm sickened.

ASM clearly fancying it today, what a run.

It was an intentional misspelling/typo from me I swear. Krafth usually moves around the pitch like a new born calf

Was just about to say Brazil

Are Bentaleb and and Kafth looking decent, or are Bournemouth so shite they're making them look decent. As for ASM he's really adding end product to his game now. We need the takeover to happen soon, if for nothing else than keeping hold of him.

A shame that Gayle can't score when it actually really matters.

I lived in Fenham until I was seven, my sister swears she seen Ant McPartlin get a kicking at a bus stop a few roads up from us. He probably would have been in Byker at the time. Speaking of Ant and Dec, Dec used to be well into Irish dancing as a kid, I know this because we used to go to the Irish club near the stadium every week and there use to be Irish dancing upstairs. If I recall correctly Dec's parents, who my own parents were friendly with, at least ran if not owned the Irish Club at the time.

I live about an hour or so's drive from Lifford in Donegal which is where Shay Given was born and bred. A friend of the family is pretty good mates with Seamus, Shay's dad. We all went to a pre-season match together when Dalglish, heaven help us, was managing the team. We were playing Bohemians in Dublin. Met Shay's sister who's a looker, or at least was 23 years ago Met Seamus and asked him what big Al was like and he had only good things to say, but I suppose it's not likely he'd say anything else, then again Al and Shay are supposed to be pretty good mates. After the match we went to the hotel the lads were staying at. I met Shay and John Barnes, the rest of the lads were already sitting down for a drink. Dalglish's son and another player, I can't recall who, were sharing a pint of Guinness like two old grannies. Unfortunately it was early preseason so Shearer and Rob Lee were still sunning themselves on their annual joint family holiday. Oh yeah met Dabizas as well who seemed like a sound bloke, as did Barnes and Shay. Having said all that Shay has a bit of a reputation on the drink when he's been out and about around Donegal. For further context I was 14 when all this happened if following players back to the hotel sounds a bit juvenile. Edit. Actually it was the 98/99 preseason, so it was 22 years ago.

Well yeah we need Joelinton to actually make speculative runs for balls like ASM played across the goal. It's not just Joe at fault of course, but obviously he shoulders a lot of the responsibility as the supposed number 9.

Pish at the start but we got our act together the longer it went on. It's not complicated at the minute, we just need to keep getting the ball to ASM in space with the form he's in.

Unrelated to the our match, but just when you thought Pickford couldn't look any more of twat he goes and grows a goatee.

Steve Wraith in a few weeks time, "say what you will about Saudis human rights record, but they run a tight ship."

A system is only as good as human nature allows it to be.

Daily Mail adding fuel to the gigantic fire that the Saudis aren't just moving against piracy for the craic. Sauces have apparently told the Mail that it's not by accident that the Saudis are doing what they are doing. Then again I suppose given what sports media is like it's just as possible that their sauces is just them adding two plus two like us. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8445181/Premier-League-nearing-announcement-300m-Newcastle-takeover-come-week.html

This has to be a great news day for us all round. Three points and pretty much guaranteed staying up, not that we weren't more or less already, but it's nice to get three points in our first match back, and the Saudis are making moves that they were surely asked to do in order to smooth the way for the takeover to be announced. The chances that the Saudis are just making moves against piracy without knowing what effect it will have on the bid seems close to nil.

An American business man supposedly offers 50 million over the agreed price, and where has Ashley been these past few months, Miami. Mauriss is likely somebody that Ashley has met while he was there, and he wants to do business with him that's unrelated to the club. Then Fatley has perhaps asked him to go through some motions to make it look like he's interested in buying the club, in exchange for Ashley sweetening a separate business deal they've cooked up. Pure speculation of course, but it makes a lot more sense than the reality.

I've heard from a sauce that this Friday will actually be the Friday, as opposed to all the other Friday's that were fake definite Friday's.

It's funny that we're so desperate for positive news that some of us are suddenly calling Simon Jordan a straight talker who knows what he's talking about, when he said he'd be very surprised if it was blocked
