What the ACTUAL FUCK is that supposed to mean?!

I think that's more an indictment of the mouth breathers they drag in front of tv cameras for the match.

That's xGChain

Gordon needs competition.

I think he can get through a game against Crystal Palace without getting a yellow. He's managed to go 4 Newcastle games without picking one up. I'd say play him and, if he gets a yellow, make sure he gets a second.

I know one who is remarkably sanguine about it all. He sees it as having had his turn enjoying football and now it's a spell away from the top table. I asked two others where did they see Man Utd finishing up next season. All things being equal and all that. So this was after being comfortably swatted aside by a CL chasing Newcastle United, by 3 clear goals, to keep them in 14th position. After that game, where they looked lightyears behind the team in 4th, they genuinely believe that they would "take sixth". It's the systemic entitlement.

Yeah, and the Irish season and some of the Canadian. The English one is by far the funniest. Irish is too zany, too many props. Canadian is... fine, I guess.

Last One Laughing was one of the shows I've seen advertised all over the shop, but it just didn't look that good. So, when on one Saturday after the wife and kids had gone to bed and before MOTD started, I popped it on out of desperation. Genuinely one of the only tv shows I've laughed aloud to in fucking ages. Bob Mortimer is a national treasure.

Liam Delap

I don't want DCL on whatever wages he'd command, for how ever few games he'd be available. I want Delap for £30m. Delap for £30m, Hujsen for £50m, Cunha for £63m, not a bad window that. Oh and I think we're missing the point here. It's evidently not worthwhile reporting, we should just tag @Rayvin instead.

I just meant replacing Bruno or Tonali might actually be easier, more players like them around, imo.

Really? Tonali and Bruno might be ahead of him in the pecking order, but I think Joelinton is the hardest profile to replace. Big, powerful, tenacious, defensive instincts, decent technically and all that good stuff. But with the added bonus of his personality, friendships and loyalty to Newcastle.

The urge to report this post is fucking crushing.

Yeah, he's young enough to play second fiddle or make appearances from the bench, without stalling his career. He's talented enough to be the lead striker for all but a couple of teams. £30m is chump change for a young English centre forward who's had a good start to his Premier League career. Hell, I'd buy him and if he's insisting on starts loan him out to Wolves or whomever.

They'll not have given up on getting through. The hope is that they score early, get some belief and go hell for leather trying to claw back the 2 goals.

Won't be too long.

Yeah £100m is just a "fuck off he's ours" kind of pricetag, surely? When Liam Delap is available £30m?

I pronounce it like Ritchie did.

Haven't most of the signings we've made kind of come out of the blue. Or at least not been a protracted dance in the media? I mean, Guehi stories were mostly being leaked by Palace, weren't they?
