The Fish

Only if he was supplied by Shane Ferguson. Who has 12 assists to his name, 7 of those coming in League One...

All but 8 weeks in the bottom Three.

Especially in the context of the standard of teammates and manager. CT doesn't get to talk to anyone about spotting potential: Kazenga Lualua Shane Ferguson Sylvain Marveaux

He doesn't watch the Premier league mate, you honestly think he's going to tune in for Burnley v Leeds on Saturday?

There's no guarantee, of course there isn't but given they've both shown they can score goals in a bad Premier League side that carves out few chances, I'd fancy them to outscore Peter Lovenkrands and Shola Ame-fucking-obi in the Championship. To say that Shelvey and Townsend are bottom 2 players shows you're just on the fucking wind up as well. Mitrovic has 8 goals. More than Rooney and Benteke, as many as Alexis Sanchez and Anthony Martial. Would they all also struggle to score in the Championship? Fuck me

Totally lost interest in Walking Dead now. I get that it's a bleak and traumatic storyline but I stopped caring about any of them ages ago. I also got annoyed at their stupid decisions. Zombie apocalypses would be easy as pie to survive, but people in movies/tv shows are idiots.

Last time we went down http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/5385837/Newcastle-United-Who-will-stay-and-who-will-leave-St-James-Park-following-relegation.html

You're talking out your arse again. This currrent side lack commitment, that's for sure. Just like the shit that went down 08/09. Once shorn of the players who don't have the commitment our team will be plenty strong enough for the Championship. Just like the team that cruised it last time were. If we keep Mitrovic and Perez we'll have two of the best strikers in the division. If we keep Shelvey and Townsend we'll have two mid-table Premier League attack minded players. Mbemba is the 16/17 version of 09/10 Coloccini if he stays. Add a few more bodies and we're very strong for that division.

David Squires' new cartoon is out.

Wasn't Crocodile Dundee from Loogabarooga?

Here man, Lovenkrands, Shola, Andy Carroll and Kevin Nolan all scored double figures! Lovenkrands... Nolan... Carroll and fucking Shola! You're a right pissy knickers lately.

more playing time, worse league, you miss the point, and it's like talking to a child.

Anyone got a good BBQ chicken recipe? Quite fancy a smokey sweet chicken with corn on the cob, potato salad & whatnot. tia and foia

I wouldn't want Colback either, but you said we had no battlers, he is a battler. Those three have 4 out of 24, despite having played less than half of the season. Also, assists aren't a reliable metric for measuring someone's creativity. Modric got fewer assists than Lennon when they played together at Spurs, is Modric less of a creator than Aaron Lennon? 2nd and 3rd top goal scorers for the club despite neither starting as many games as the top goal scorer. Anything else I can help with?

Colback, Dummett, Aarons, Shelvey, Townsend Perez, Mitrovic, Armstrong I agree.

We're not going to win away until we face Villa, by which time it'll be far too late.

Aye, but I'd not be surprised if they dwindle if we don't stroll to the title as we did last time. (We'd clinched automatic this stage of that season hadn't we?).

That American I record the podcast with sent out a message asking if anyone wanted to try and get tickets for whichever is the game Leicester clinch the title... Now, I'm not averse to watching other teams, I used to watch AFC Wimbledon a lot, even saw them promoted twice. Once at the Etihad. But I cannot understand travelling to leicester (or with leicester fans) to watch them lift the Premier League trophy when my team is, in all likelihood, relegated to the Championship. He says "A win for Leicester is a win for everyone". I'm not sure Spurs, Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd or Liverpool feel that way. I'm fairly certain Leicester winning the title isn't a win for Villa, for Newcastle or for sunderland either.

Can't remember when I last enjoyed 90 minutes. Sure we've won some games and played well in parts, but most wins have been nervy encounters. Even the 6-2 at home to Norwich wasn't really as comfortable as the score line suggests. There've been a fair few Saturday's when we've gone shopping/into London/to meet some of her friends for lunch instead of searching for a reliable stream. First season where that's become fairly regular for me. Think I'll be more likely to go to away games next year, especially as we'll have left London and its disproportionately priced tickets. (£50 for QPR)?!

This season's Damien Duff.

Think Aston VIlla are in real trouble. Don't they have debt to Lerner and to a bank? We only owe money to Ashley. It's not a formality of course, but depending on who makes up the squad in the Championship I think we could have the best team down there, as we did in 09/10. Actually getting excited about seeing what Aarons, Mitrovic and Perez* will do to the clubs down there *I know, I know.

If Rafa had seen something in the squad, the club or the board he might have stayed. But he hasn't, he hasn't and he hasn't, so he won't. It'll be Cathro taking us back up, then inexplicably replaced by Pardew the following season.
