Of course he's a Sagittarius like yours truly. All the great ones are.

Happy birthday to the best Newcastle coach/manager of my lifetime. 🎂🎂🎂

Can we all agree that Livramento is now our first choice LB. He gives us so much more going forward and is excellent defensively as well.

Jonathan Liew is a dweeby little nerd who got picked last every time he played football. And they would rather have not picked him at all. xG is a worthwhile statistical tool. Both are true.

Anyway, that's the end of @thebrokendoll starting match threads. Never again.

McCoist desperate to get some RAGE out of Howe.

Mbappe can fuck off an'all. Dortmund should knack these if they can still be arsed.

McCoist and Jenas are fucking FIZZING. Never seen rage like it from two neutrals talking about NUFC.

Watch the class from Howe that's coming up here though. You don't even have to worry that he's gonna make a complete cunt of himself like Arteta. Even though I'd personally get a lot of satisfaction out of it if he called the ref a "big daft Polish cunt" in the press conference.

On the plus side, it's an hour home on the plane for us. Man United have got 4+ hours to Turkey, play a day later, and all the Welcome to Hell shit to deal with. Hopefully they get the absolute fuck kicked out of them for 90 minutes.

Problem now is that I want us to beat Milan for the Tonali business. But we absolutely cannot afford all these games.

That was the only way those cunts were scoring, and they knew it. They'd screamed for two total non-pens already. I think Jenas is right that the ref caved under the pressure. Watching that on the monitor, the right decision was no pen, and he just bottled it under pressure.

Worry about the effect this has on them for Saturday.

I hope Joelinton knocks Mbappe's head clean off in the tunnel.

Fuck that.

Howay Pope.

That's not a pen. What a stupid decision. I thought it was a pen in real time but it's absolutely not. Total bullshit.

This is cruel.

This can't be a pen surely. Booted straight at his arm.

Barcola.

I know you just don't want to disrupt anything if you're Howe but at this stage we've got lads completely dead on their feet. Not sure I understand not getting Hall on for Gordon or Miggy at least.

Mbappe. Absolute spunk.

Not sure we're gonna get away with throwing ourselves in front of shots for the next 20 minutes. Desperately need a breakaway, even just to win a foul in their half.

These pathetic French bells are gonna scream for a pen every time it goes in the box. Fucking wankers man.

Aye, bad night to be a teddy boy.
