  1. No surprise today, the surprise would have been if Bruce hadn't parked the bus.

    Gayle matches the word Wail, a goal for us would have been a game changer.

    Actually there was a surprise today, they only scored 2 and one was a spot-kick, credit to Darlow, he put in a good shift.

    Maxie wasn't MoM today, and Woelinton wasn't  too woe full.

    I fault Bruce for the shambles of the first half, 5 at the back was absolutely stupid.

  2. Was introduced to Peter Beardsley outside the Los Angeles Colosseum in 1986. England had just played Mexico in a friendly prior to the world cup. The lad I was at the match with had known and played with Beardsley when they were kids.

    Bumped into Jackie Charlton twice, once at St. James' when he was just a spectator, and once at North Shields fish quay where we had both gone for fish n' chips. Chatted with him on both occasions.

    Spoke to Pop Robson once in a newsagents shop he co-owned in Gateshead. At the time I was a friend and playing with Clyde Best who was a pal of Pop's from his West Ham days and he asked me to look up Pop and give him his regards.

    Best of all, I had a conversation with Bobby Robson at St. James'.  I had gone there with a friend who was going there to get a free blood-pressure test they were giving. As we were leaving Bobby pulled up and got out of his car. I audaciously went up to him and introduced myself. It was a Wednesday and there was a game that night and he asked me if I was going and did I have tickets(I did). Said he had been to California and loved it. We shook hands and he went into the offices. Sadly he was sacked the following Monday.

    Aye, hopefully he can put that poor performance behind him. :rolleyes: 

     

     

    Didn't say he put in a poor performance, he can bring you to your feet with his skills but he needs to be fed the ball more often and I don't think he got that today.

  4. I think against Sheffield he was a bit starved of the ball and didn't show us what he's capable of as he has done in other games. They need to keep feeding him a bit more so he can build on his performances.

    Decent second half from us

     

     

    That's true,  but with 10 men they kept the ball a tad more than we did and their passing overall was better than ours. I saw Rose pass directly to them 4 times.

    Miggy missed a sitter but put in a good shift.

    Maxie took good care of the defenders blooper.

    Woelinton  guilty of a howler but made up for it by getting one.

    Ritchie's was a cracker.

    Good game, great 3 points.

    3 points against the Villans should dispatch any fears or relegation.

                       :)   :)   :)   :)

  6. I have to think that because this buy out is dragging on for so long with no end in sight, it just ain't gonna happen.

    The saying says, "where's there's smoke there's fire" but in this case I think it's just a fucking big smoke-screen and not even a spark.

    I'm not bored, I'm just fed-up with the whole scenario.

    Want rid of Darlow, Manquillo, Yedlin, Lascelles, Clark, Hayden, Shelvey, Ritchie, Carroll, Gayle, Joelinton, Muto, Atsu...

     

     

     

    Frankly I would keep Carroll if only as a bench-warmer.  I think that when fit and not injured he can prove to be an asset, he's good in the air, canny with his feet, and his presence worries defenders.

    He could become super-sub and I think the fans are somewhat happy to see Geordie on the pitch playing for us.

  8. The name Stoke City does nothing but remind me of  the famous Stanley Mathews, who I incidentally played with in a tournament  in  Southern California. He was in his 70's and I was in my 50's, and it was known as the Stanley Mathews Tournament. He only played for about 15 minutes  but his class shone even at that age.

    Rose is carrying too much timber. He was the worst player in B&W shirt. 

     

     

    Not sure about him being the worst in a B&W shirt. Ritchie and Manquillo would be in the running to be the worst.

    Missing a penalty doesn't count, Ritchie had a less than par day despite that, and Manquillo was under par.

    Rose.Is Fat Heed telling him to to get to the halfway line,receive the ball,then not pass the ball into nor enter the opposition half?

     

    That's a good question. While at Spurs I saw Rose as an attacking full-back, not afraid of and capable of getting forward, and getting crosses in.

    At Southampton on Saturday, with them having only 10 men for a long period of time, I would have thought Rose would have had a field day going forward.

  11. Of course I'm happy with the 3 points,  but I'm not happy we couldn't have done better against 10 men.

    This was a golden opportunity to enhance our goal difference which could cost us dearly at some point.

    Missed sitters, missed penalty, some poor passing, and points could have gone doon the netty towards the end.

  12. Saved by the whistle,  if it had gone much longer we'd have probably went doon the netty.

    Good performance in the first half, 3 nowt up but ................................. the second half was absolutely woeful as seen by a 3 - 2 score and backs against the wall.

    The defense in the second half was a shambles, the passing was abysmal, very nearly fucked it up.

    Very happy with the win, but not with that second half shambolic performance.
