MMXXVIII

And Cram is from Jarrow, I believe.

The herring gulls of South Shields were praying for similar.

Before the season started I thought 6th was about right for us and I'd be very happy with that, along with decent efforts at the cups and some memorable CL nights. Whilst there are some right dickheads on Twitter they aren't worse than some of the voices I'd hear during my season ticket days tbh.

"And aww the best in ya future fackin endeavours." One for the Athletico Mice niche.

We've had a tough start, but he's the heartbeat of this team and he's a shadow of himself. I'm sure you'll have maps and graphs contradicting this but intuition isn't measurable. I know what I've watched without the need for graphics.

Mr. Tumble doing the sign language.

His head's up his arse, it needs removed and I hope this isn't the difference between Brian Clough/Fergie/Keegan and Eddie Howe.

It isn't aimless though, is it? He has been SHITE for months by his standards. I love Howe, I applauded his appointment and I can't see beyond him for the foreseeable. But last season I did begin to wonder if he had the minerals in him to manage certain situations well, this type of thing being one.

My point is the solution to his form isn't complicated. He needs to understand that he's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy. Once this is established again the nerds will have their stats to kid themselves something proper, proper scientific happened.

They bombed wor chip shop.

Some of yeez lot talk some right shite like. Words like "fluid". He needs a rocket up his arse and you can then wank over stats.

He was magic when daft little cunts weren't blowing smoke up his arse.

It was obvious to me last season with the video footage of him dancing about like a lass in his living room. No need for it. He's self-absorbed and, from the outside looking in, we're pandering to it when he needs told to buck his ideas up. I'd have dropped him after Man City but I can see why Howe felt he might turn up vs Liverpool. I can't understand him not getting dropped after that, though.

Joelinton isn't himself for whatever reason and Bruno needs dropping and told he can only come back when he's not a bird. I'd pick Miley ahead of them to shame them into bucking their ideas up.

I suspect Sancho himself is a bell but it's great to watch them publicly having this to and fro. Ultimately it's the fault of ten Hag. The bloke's a cunt and the longer he's in charge there the better for us.

Same cunts will be licking his hoop if we wallop Brentford. Emotional roller coaster riding losers in life.

We're just way off the levels his chat suggests we'll be at. We better shape up or Amanda's emotional knife will come out. It's how it's going. In reality I think we'll finish 6th or 7th then challenge for the title next year but I don't think he'll be afforded the time to do it sadly.

We looked fucking shite from the off. Something isn't right. This is the moment that will make or break Howe.

Aye I'd not have spunked the funds in areas we have done, I assume they saw the opportunity to sign these players as one that won't come again and we'd end up regretting.

His form in late 2022 was always gonna be temporary. On limited funds where do you strengthen as a priority? He helps set the tone with his attitude and running, whilst I think his lack of quality where it matters is obvious to everyone, I think Howe put it to the back of the shelf.

I'd have dropped Bruno but I don't see them in training every day. Fine with the back 4.

Opportunistic swearing is where the parallel ends. Cunt has a good CV as a player and the foreheed of a Klingon, they'll survive because of this and Bournemouth dropping a clanger with O'Neill.

Communists muscling in mate. You take the knee for Lenin pre-kick off at CET O'Clock.

The bloke's a wet fish and should have been sacked when we didn't make the final in 2018. I appreciate not everyone has the intuition of me but surely watching us deliberately handing the initiative to an Italy team in disarray instead of finishing them off would have made them pull the trigger.
