Aye, it would be even more lopsided than it is now too. I'm sure I read of another design where the Gallowgate stand was increased and the East stand was built up, but with windows in so that it didn't block light to Leazes terrace

They are overplaying a bit and could genuinely be 4-1 up if they just had a couple of shots instead of passing

Watching the Juve Ajax game and Ajax are playing like 70s Ajax on speed. Juve are getting demolished. Captained by a 19 year old and average age of 22 in the starting XI apparently

Don't get me wrong, I'm not calling people for being upset that it's destroyed. That's perfectly reasonable. It's more the likes of Macron suspending his campaign trail etc. No ones died as far as im aware, the country doesn't need to grind to a halt (and I'm aware Macron's decision is probably more about optics). I'd also be gutted about Durham Cathedral if it was destroyed. But I wouldn't be off work the next day singing hymns at it. I think a load of businesses have pledged 1/2billion euros for repairs so far. That's also mental given the French government and Catholic Church are hardly paupers between them

I get that, and it's always shit when something that old is damaged, regardless of religion. I'm less sympathetic about the nationwide mourning for the nails and wood splinters from Jesus' crucifixion that may have been lost in the fire...

Who the fuck has 12 boxes of porn in the digital age

Awkward I appreciate this is an important historical and religious building to a lot of people and it's terrible it's burned down, BUT you would think there were 300 worshippers inside when it went up reading some of the press coverage. Maybe it's difficult for me to comprehend being staunchly atheist?

The thread on RTG is proper feelgood stuff

They are losing 5-0 now Gaylr got his hatrick too

It's the hope that kills you They've equalised 3 times and are still losing

2 more goals for Gayle. They need him as much as we need Rondon. Surely even Charnley can't fuck that one up

A draw is no use to them. If they draw their game in hand they will still be 3rd

3-2 now Currently back in the playoffs

He's only just turned 24. He could have 10 years left in him yet. I hope he's just finally learning his trade under Rafa

Hayden played one of his best games for us I thought. Outshone Ki

As if we are going to allow Rondon to sign for a rival for £16mil, when his first choice is us. Best striker we've had since Demba Ba, 6 seasons ago

I might if I could decipher it

Red all day

I'm not his biggest fan, but that was a fucking good header

We haven't had a plan B for a long time mind. Swapping Yedlin for Manquillo and Diame for Ki makes very little difference to whether we put in a team performance or not. It would be nice to see a change in formation with Muto, Shelvey or Kenedy given another go, and Almiron playing in his best position

That was the killer. I think we had 18 shots. They had 1 on target, gifted to them by Yedlin, and fucking scored. We had this issue in the first half of the season. We have one of the best defences in the league and would rarely concede more than 1 goal a game. Except we were toothless up front so seemed to lose a ton of games 1-0, usually due to the 1 defensive lapse we had in the full 90 mins. Our Summer transfers need to be able to provide some creativity. A CM to play alongside Longstaff/Hayden, 2 new wing backs, a replacement for Perez. Although we've been saying this for years.

The Gervais show was canny. Not a patch on the office, but then that was one of the top 10 British sitcoms in history so it was never likely to be was it. Every ones a fucking critic

I think Almiron is class personally. Works hard, fast as fuck, skillful, good shot. He started well, then had a long international break, then has played in 2 poor games against Arsenal and Palace. A full pre season and some better players around him and I reckon he will have a very good 2nd season

He was misplacing 10 yard passes. Hasn't started the last 26 games apparently. Wouldn't be surprised to see him gone in the summer. And if Perez is itching to leave id sell him too. He scores a few goals but flatters to deceive most matches for me. The squad needs an overhaul unfortunately. GK and CBs are sorted. Every other position is short on quality
