I only have one month left to finish my job at the high school where I've been a teacher for the past two years.   Yesterday my students gave me a gift.

@Alex   I also like everything you say. There are journalists (and in general, the popular voice) who have spoken in recent years of PSG and Manchester City as an illegal team without r

Watching that Spurs/Man Utd match the other day made me realise that Dubravka is actually a fairly decent 2nd choice keeper 

 

But he is also a cunt and would rather sit on an Ineos bench

We've played 3 average to poor teams. He should have swept up on the Wissa chance (not the goal) but made a good save in the end to redeem himself.

 

He is far better with his feet and teams don't press him like they would with Pope so it gives us a better chance to build from the back. I think he'll face bigger challenges when we play better teams but great start so far. 1 goal conceded in 3 games.

Seems this club can’t do any right this season. A week ago we had folk moaning that we only turn up against the ‘bigger’ teams, three decent victories against ‘lower’ teams later and well we’ve just beaten two lots of reserves and a shit Ipswich and “Let’s see how we turn up against the bigger teams”.

I’m assuming the festive sauce has been deployed early.

I do think people are being a bit hard on the lads - it feels like a switch has flipped for me since Liverpool, we're playing better for sure. Think if we get a result against Villa then people might start to risk having a bit of faith.

Football fans are some of the most fickle in the world. Personally, I think we are coming along nicely of late, and see no reason we can't be playing in Europe next season if we just keep the ship steady if you will.

Newcastle supporters seem to instinctually expect disappointment. Preparing for it by dampening expectations is almost part of our collective psyche as supporters. I don't view it as a slight against the players. And, who knows, once we win something it may change. I wouldn't get my hopes up though. :lol:

Think that's true of most football fans to be honest. 

 

I know Man City fans who are viewing this utterly mental collapse as just par for the course for their club. "Typical Man City".

Got to say no football today and no football on New Year’s Day is fuckin abysmal. Is this down to what Geoff fuckin Bezos wants?… Sky and TNT have gazumped the cunt for the foreseeable but I don’t hold out any hope that much will change. We should also be playing in the FA cup third round next Saturday, not the following one. Fuckin cunts. In fact cunts makes them out to be fuckin useful etc etc….

There's a charity called the Association of Former Manchester United Players that looks after players from previous eras who don't have the sort of money the modern players get. 

 

They haven't received their last two quarterly payments from the club (it usually pays 4 x £10k per year), and when they've got in touch they've been told the club is ending its association with the charity. They reckon they might fold now.

 

Ratcliffe is an absolute scumbag. I bet this isn't the only community related thing he's pulling funding for. They deserve fuck all success under this bloke.

You’d imagine a certain ex manager may be about to stage an intervention about this….
