You're not allowed in the prem without a ground with undersoil heating. Someone's gone up the pub without switching it on or just forgot

Not on the bench today...injured? Have to say it's not looking good...if Leeds beat Brighton tonight we're 8 from safety...if it stays like that till January then it's tricky to work out what sort of players we'll get. It's pretty inconceivable that anyone who would make a big difference would want to join, definitely not permanently that's for sure. Then in every single game without exception we're playing catch up, with that thought in the players' minds every time they cross the white line...then you've got the entire English football public and the media who lead them willing us to go down....as I say, it's not looking good. Difficult to see three worse teams as things stand...

Sneaking on in the middle of the night when there's only mild mannered colonials , dopey insomniacs & piss heads (YES THATS YOU @Rayvin )on here... ..even if the miscreant is in another timezone himself, its the mark of an utter fuckin coward....

The Home Office “Hostile Environment” of which the Windrush scandal was a sort of flagship policy was brought in by Theresa May to keep the votes rolling in from pigshit bigots so am not sure where any of that sits under the heading of tolerance tbh . You wouldn’t have heard heard a thing about it without tireless work from the Guardian newspaper , specifically Amelia Gentleman https://twitter.com/ameliagentleman?s=21 . For me it’s one of the worst things any UK government have ever done. As an attack on ordinary people it’s up there with Hillsborough iyam.

So did Clarko get jettisoned or did he just get the message? I was hoping Ant would pull out the old "Facebook hack" ploy, post pics of his missus & kids/sad lonely existence etc etc for us to enjoy...

THINGS SHORTER THAN A CLARKO PUT DOWN POST.... I'll start... The rise and fall of the roman empire by Edward Gibbon Homer's The Iliad any more?...

You're having trouble with the old comprehension thing again Even to the most casual observer ASM often flatters to deceive. That's it, that's all anyone as far as I can make out is saying about him apart from you. You're in a minority of one.... not that I'm suggesting you're wrong on this obviously.... we've worked out that you're very sensitive to that sort of thing so I don't think any of us would dare to suggest or even insinuate that... no... EDIT: apart from Alex....

Yet he's not actually currently at a champions league or a club even challenging for Europe, we're challenging the longest run without a League win in English football history We all know why and so do you, and all the percentiles in the world won't change, to use one life's most familiar truisms, "the evidence of our own eyes "

Shes the female Dominic Raab. Thicker than a whale's foreskin

No, I've decided he needs help and guidance...

If that's what you think that's fair enough. It does rather beg the question why he's not at a club at least challenging for champions league places....would you care to comment why he isn't? ...his stats after all are great... ..

I gave a brief outline of how scouts operate and then you got the dictionary out and repeated a lot of it back to me then you strongly suggested I’d said that scouts don’t use stats, when I said the opposite and suggested how important stats are to scouts. ASM is a great player to watch but as an effective attacker he’s inconsistent. That’s why he didn’t play for France in the summer, and Oliver Giroud did. Giroud played every game when they won the World Cup but didn’t contribute any goals, which for a central striker you’d think would immediately rule him out of being picked in any top level forward line. You’d have to watch him play to gauge his value to the starting 11 though and take into consideration what those around him contribute. Sure you could use stats to partly make that judgement, but it would be impossible to make a case for Giroud to be picked on his most important stat. He didn’t play as much this summer, Deschamps changed it. This isn’t judging two players who play in completely different positions, it’s illustrating that you can’t just use dry stats when assessing a player. It’s easy for ASM to stick out like a sore thumb at Newcastle and without him if Bruce was in still charge we’d be fucked. He didn’t play well in the games after Bruce left and I don’t have a problem with anyone suggesting after they’ve actually watched his performances and read his Bruce tweet that he was in the huff, it’s just another indication of inconsistency and letting outside events affect your performance on the pitch. He’s not alone in that, 98% of players are the same. But that’s why he’s at Newcastle and not at Real Madrd and never will be…you’d have to watch him to work that out though… These are just opinions, quite mild ones really, I don’t care if you think I’m right or wrong . Have a pleasant evening

Ok… you don’t understand what I’m posting. I’ve never had this problem in near on 15 years posting on here….. @Diego21 understands me and English is his second language, he also agrees with my point and football is his career. Do you understand and accept that evidence?..

You can’t even follow a quoted post mate, if you’re not doing that on purpose you need help This is what I said in the post you quoted: “That's why I suggested the evidence of our own eyes is as least as important as stats, which you completely misconstrued and misrepresented. “ That’s not saying I accused you of misconstruing and misrepresenting stats, is it? As I say, if you’re doing that on purpose go fuck yourself, if not go back to college and do some basic English comprehension….

And that's the only opinion allowed? We're not allowed to judge by how we feel hes played? That's why I suggested the evidence of our own eyes is as least as important as stats, which you completely misconstrued and misrepresented. That's why you're an arsehole mate .....

Do you think Shelvey was better under Rafa or under Bruce? Why didn't ASM make the France Euro squad? Honestly, I'm interested in your thoughts but please bare in mind brevity is king

He reminds me of someone…..can’t think of a specific social outcast tbh but leave it with me….

Chill out bruv, it's only a message board I described the job of a scout,and in reply so did you. Why?

Yeah this is the game, deliberately misconstrue to try to wind people up or goad them into going back and checking mountains of posts and coming back at you. Either that or you're fundamentally incapable of following a discussion....which is one way of getting your kicks I suppose...

Think this proves its pointless arguing with a fuckin brick Fyi, you agreed with most of my points mate whilst simultaneously claiming that you didnt know what point I was making You posted stats, then conpared those stats to people who commented on how ASM had played since Bruce left, that's comparing two utterly different things. You may not have meant that, but its certainly how it came across. Hope all this helps

More than likely there isn’t one. Care to suggest a scout at any football club who relies purely on stats though? Because if that were the case they wouldn’t still exist. You’d have data collectors at every match (eg Opta etc) and those who process that data at clubs, scouts would be irrelevant. No one would go and watch a player, it would all be there on a screen and clubs would make their decisions on recruitment like that….football has changed a lot, you can find a lot of hidden points about a player by measurement. But to get a real feel for the player, his actual observable strengths and weaknesses and how he’d fit into a pattern of play he has to be watched . Comparing the evidence of Rayvin’s own eyes after he’s watched St Maximin’s level of performance post Bruce leaving v some data collated over a couple of seasons isn’t a comparison worth making because it’s like comparing a fire engine with an apple Coming on here and picking on people with a list of spurious stats isn’t you being clever, it’s you being a fuckin arsehole, and not a very bright one at that. Well done. Please stay, I’m not the sharpest tool in the box in these parts but you’re making me feel like Einstein

You need one of these in your life mate... https://www.sportsdirect.com/castore-newcastle-united-anthem-jacket-2021-2022-mens-374236 PS.... the Castore brand in my mind undoubtedly has Mike Ashley behind it. The fact that Newcastle and Rangers are their two flagship brands is just too much of a fuckin coincidence Is the Newcastle stuff being sold anywhere apart from the club shop.and SD? 🤔

When planning permission for social housing flats is granted "1 space for one flat" hasn't been allowed for a good 20 years precisely to force people on to public transport. Not an expert tbh but that's the impression I get. Most modern new build private sector homes have at least one space? Most domestic charging points are 7kw which is about 32A , which is less than a modern electric shower which comes in around 10kW,/ 40A. Most domestic supplies are rated at 100A. Individually at the moment thats not a problem due to the relative scarcity of domestic chargers but if 75% of areas end up all charging motors overnight that's a big supply issue. There should be a cheaper nightime tariff like the old "economy 7" for storage heaters for consumers but that might not be the case and the cost of new infrastructure could well be passed on to the end users
