almost included that

 

Can't wait for Bruce to have a pop at the fans in his post-match presser after Newcastle finally resemble a football team for the first time in 2 months.

 

Oh fuck we’re playing Arsenal today

 

New manager bounce for Newcastle.

 

Amad Diallo with two goals on his u23’s debut against Liverpool including a lovely little dinked penalty.

 

During the winter, right after our fall season would end, a group of us from the high school soccer team would join the local indoor league. We played in all purple and went by the name of Lavender Town FC.

 

Used my wildcard this week, put three Everton players in and they lose 2-0, put Cancelo and Stones in and Pep dropped them to the bench.

"Hope is a bad thing, maybe the worst of things" is what the quote should have been in Shawshank Redemption.

 

We are missing Aubameyang, Tierney AND Saka.

Brilliant. Can't wait for this...

 

I didn't watch the game today but my word Newcastle are starting to become a bogey team for us in these past seasons. Also, if you lose twice to them in a season you probably don't deserve European football. I just hope Digne signs a new deal before he finds that out lol.

 

Dick move by Cedric.

 

HOW IS FERNANDES NOT GETTING A YELLOW THERE?!

 

Bullshit. Fuck VAR and Fernandes

 

VAR didn’t even look at the elbow by Cedric so, yeah I agree.

 

Both should have been looked at but if Xhaka put in that Fernandes challenge following starting a tussle he would get a red. Maddening.

 

Yeah, he probably deserved it. Stupid from Bruno. But it’s fun to see a little fire in this game. That few minutes reminded me of old.

 

Game looks even though. Could be quite a good one despite our injuries.

 

Keane vs Viera was the peak of the PL and nothing will persuade me otherwise.

 

Yeah looks an even match so far. As I was saying we tend to do better at the Emirates the better Arsenal are playing so I was happy the last week or so then I saw the injuries and got nervous.

I still have nightmares about Szczęsny's first game when ye were in dire form, I think. He had a monster game and we lucked a win with a goal from the back of Park's head.

 

I genuinely cannot understand why McTominay is still on the pitch. He's clearly injured.

 

I feel like this game will be settled by David Luiz. I don't know for who though.

 

Ole has never been one concerned with player injuries after the whole Rashford thing last season

 

My worry is if the teams look even, United have more individual quality in Bruno and Pogba and they can make something happen from nothing.

 

He still looks injured. It was the same against Sheffield United.

But McTominay today is fucking weird. He's so clearly uncomfortable out there.

 

feck me that was close.

 

Looks like he just held his gut there...
