I must be sleep deprived from new baby. I swear I thought I saw us being 2 0 up. Am I hallucinating?

Out of the drop zone....those other teams are s***..

I know everyone is playing rdr2, but return of the obra dinn is great sleuthing game and not too long. Really unique concept and art style

FFS

ah bugger, not sure we'll hold out

God damn it, thought I'd finally got to a stage where I could ignore football and be happy. Then this. Its the hope that kills you

Yeah, I'm forgetting to even check scores or watch highlights. Rarely check the match day thread which used to be a must. What can we get excited about. Under Ashley last season was as good as can be expected. meh

The wife is now on maternity leave and is baking/cooking loads. Its great, although I'm gonna pile the weight on.

She also bought a dehydrator to make jerky, doubt she ever will!

The Football Ramble is quite light hearted and has a few decent episodes. One of the lads on there is a Newcastle fan as well so we get a decent amount of coverage. Yeah I like the Ramble. Their sister show on the continent is good as well, focuses on European football and has input from serious jo...

Two things, (incorrect) expectation that group games will be dull and predictable City fans have running vedetta against UEFA. Part based on FFP rules aiming at 'punishing the nouveau rich vs established elite' but also on some specifics. In 2011 Mario got racially abused but UEFA fined Porto only ...

I see Man C had 10,000 empty seats last night. Can you imagine if we ever got back into the CL, every game would be a sell-out. When this happens is it because they have a lot of fans that travel into the city for home matches that can't do it on a weeknight? Are the tickets even more expensive tha...

Of course they are.

Our stadium outweighs theirs in valuation

but their squad smashes ours out the park.

21k in the London conurbation > 52k in Newcastle. I mean land prices are on thing. But the ability to get high paying corporate tickets to boxes more so.

This Cardiff arsenal match is a cracker. Arsenal can't defend crosses, especially from free kicks.

Ozil, when he was playing right midfield reminded me of Ben Arfa in lack of desire to track back

5-4-1 it looks like

4 CBs starting, what odds on the ball not to get out of our half for 90 mins

4? Is Dummett a cb now?

Tbf I've always thought what Ashley is wanting for the club is more than fair. Not sure why everyone kicks off when he says he wants £400m.

Does the 400m include or exclude the debt? Otherwise the enterprise value is like 550m, which is a material difference

Can we also Ederson to take Alisson type risks on the ball?

We will absolutely bottle penalties mind

Never mind

ffs

We will absolutely bottle penalties mind

hahahahaha stole that goal, as they said in commentary "barely laid a glove on them"

We've got Murphy and Atsu on, both playing on the wrong side. And Joselu doing the Shearer thing of having to get on the wing to get the ball. Rafa's trademark attention to detail on show there. I hate inverted wingers. I don't understand why managers love them so much. sure if you have Arjen Robbe...
