OTF

25 going on 45.

I used to have a dog that would bite me whenever we were on the sofa. It didn't sit well with me.

My 7yo son wanted me to wake him up to watch the game with me this morning (3:30AM), it would have just been a case of him sleeping next to me whilst it was on anyway, but I decided against waking him at all. When he woke up later he asked me if we were going to watch the game, I quickly changed the topic.

Absolutely shocking miss that.

Didn't want to win anyway, we need to focus on the take-over, that's the priority.

Now what?

Don't be so dramatic, this is hardly a game.

Let's be positive! Darlow is going to get 10 games of experience out of this 90 minutes.

Aye, even if it does get to Carroll, what's the point? He'll have half a field to cover and three defenders to beat.

Conceded 8 shots already.... it's like pinball each time they put the ball into our box, just waiting for the ball to fall to them.

At least you didn't get up at 3:30AM and pay for a new subscription just to watch it.

Incredibly long odds for them to even qualify for the ACN.

Fruit loops.

I ran into big Al in a sports store in Sydney, strangely he was standing at the end of a rather lengthy queue.

Agreed. It's almost like smb is biased... or maybe just a huge Joelinton fan

You're right, but Gerrard, as much as I hated the high pants diving twat, was a class above Henderson.

Yep, this is why he is so good, strength, balance and explosive acceleration. Most others would go down and take their chances at winning a free-kick where-as he will keep his feet and the ball. Here's hoping he can form a good partnership with someone, on the surface I'm not sure we have the right player for that at the moment. It needs to be someone with a good footballing brain so that rules out many of our lot...

Bit of a horror show there from Dubravka

Lovely stuff, terrible tracking for them. Good to see Dwight score.

Haven't carved any clear chances, ASM looks most likely for us to create something. Pretty dull so far.

Apologies for creating a new thread for this when there is already an existing one, but a piece of news as key as this is for the future of the club deserves a thread of its own IMO. Can you believe it, after all these years we've finally officially released Jack facking Colback. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-jack-colback-sterry-released-18473162

A very strange feeling; - Watching us win a game comfortably - Being clearly the better team throughout - Joelinton scoring

Standing novation for Joelinton on his way off and a huge cheer from the crowdmaster 3000, great to see for the lad.

Well played Joelinton and Almiron.

He's actually put himself about quite well throughout.
