    26 | Savinho - 2025/26

    All players have bad games, but attitude is another thing. I just have to see his name and I think of that Arsenal equaliser - not really the (in)action of a player who feels that he has to fight for his place, was it?

    26 | Savinho - 2025/26

    Especially yesterday - I mean, What's he ever done against Newcastle? I seem to remember that Haaland was on the pitch that day, too.

    52 | Oscar Bobb - 2025/26

    There was a strange moment in one of the recent Norway matches, when one of his teammates signalled to the bench with the 'switch' gesture that players often use when they've been hurt and know that they can't carry on. The signalling player was fine himself, but followed the gesture by pointing...

    Newcastle United (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Let's just say that whatever he's doing to convince Pep to play him, he must be f*cking good at it! But he wasn't the reason for yesterday. When it comes to the defence, it's a case of 'you can't fool all of the people, all of the time' . Any team who moves the ball quickly against us will have...

    Newcastle United (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Yep - my post was replying to somebody who'd said similar, but only mentioning Haaland & Foden. I was just adding some balance - I'm sure that had we kept a clean sheet, despite all the Newcastle chances in that first half, there would have been plenty on here using it to reinforce their...

    Based upon watching the match. Did you not see it? Woltemade could have filled his boots before half-time

    Newcastle United (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    The way we 'defended' - and got away with it - in the first half, it's a bit churlish to moan about the offside, but (and I can't be arsed reading this year's interpretation of the rule again) wasn't the idea to only take into account those parts of the body with which a player could legally...

    Newcastle United (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Not if they do the same - could have been anything from 0-0 to 4-4 at halftime. Poor at both ends. Donnarumma not perfect, but saved City a caning today.

    Jude Bellingham

    Should have asked the manager last - I've been in many meetings where everybody agrees inside the room, but afterwards...? Bellingham's a really good player, who obviously will and should be in the squad. Nothing like as good as he thinks he is, though. Reminiscent of a 'Golden Generation'...

    With her husband, she was that already. It's a power trip for her, I think. Despicable bitch.

    45 | Abdukodir Khusanov - 2025/26

    It was well reported that Ronaldo was given 3 games for his red. He'll miss the first 2. We don't yet know what size groups FIFA will be using, but Khus might not even play a single match in the finals, which would be heartbreaking for the lad. They might not bother taking him at all.

    Reminds me of an old school colleague of mine. This was well before social media of course, probably five or six years after last seeing him, when we'd left our fairly prestigious grammar school. As we were walking into Debenhams near Christmas, he held the door open for me, wearing a white...

    Stupid little things that bug you

    The original post from @staffsblue has disappeared, but this conjures up an image of, say a Spike Milligan sketch with a bunch of coppers chasing a guy in a hooped T-shirt and mask across a series of busy roads and fighting over who gets to press the buttons... I know, I know, but it's been a...

    President Trump

    Oh, for another Ed Snowden... ______________________________ ______________________________ Yonks ago I mentioned a senior ex-employee's book on Trump that I'd read way back, but of which I couldn't remember the author's name. Well this has just popped up in my YouTube sidebar, and it's him. I...
