Carabao Cup Semi Final Games - 24/25/31 Jan / 1 Feb '23

And sell Phillips back to Leeds?

Something along those lines, I can see it happening.

Lavia looks ready.

Sad to say I think the rags will be given the final easily by the officials.

Edited for accuracy.

If I was a Newcastle fan this extra stoppage would wind me right up.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Going off our timeline, and the management appointments, I can’t help but think Toon are a bit ahead of their time.

I class Howe in a Hughes/Mancini hybrid, where bypassed the former but he has a tad of the latter in terms of momentum.

I just think that it might be too much, too soon. But fuck me I hope I’m wrong.

 

[Jam Tomorrow]

The ball has hardly been in play this last twenty minutes. Independent time keepers needed and booking for players who feign injury then sprint back on.

They need to clamp down on all this play acting.

It’s gone too far now. The game has gone and I don’t think it’s ever coming back.

Nowhere else seems to give a shit about it other than English fans. Everywhere else, even within our own clubs and tv stations, just seems to accept it and skirt around it or brush it under the carpet.

With all that soft arse bollocks rolling around and staying down when there’s nowt up with them, timewasting, appalling ball in-play stats, plus the shambolic use of VAR, this sport is so far away from being as good as it should be that it’s getting to the point where it’s going to be unwatchable soon.

I know.
All that "nukey broon" going flat back on the tables in the pub

Tierney books Mr Whippy for taking 10 seconds over a free kick but letting Pope take much longer over his kicks. Just zero consistency by the same official in less than a week

 

[WestGorton]

Sad to say I think the rags will win the final easily.

So do I

Starting to become a cross of WWE and Basketball.
