Same here.

I go out for a fag at 0-1, come back to 2-1! First time that has happened all season.

Solid performance all around -- except for the brain-spasm giveaway goal! Never thought I would write these words, but Skipp is massive! Lets see if we can win two in a row now.

Harvey Barnes with a second goal for Newcastle. SIGH

Looks like we have to hope for a moment of Fatawu magic to win the game...

Actually, there is more than one, and I originally looked up the wrong one. I found a 34 yo midfielder from Wales who, while probably past his prime, could easily play for us. Eh, ok. Then, after I started reading this thread, I realized our new player is 22 yo, an attacking midfielder, selected for every England youth team from U16 to U20, and is hopefully recovered from a major knee injury. Sounds very promising!

No sign of Winks yet?

Sincere question, have we seen him from anything other than the 'dribble left, shoot with the left foot'? I don't know that answer. And yes, eventually all opposing defenders will become hyper-focused on denying his left-footed shot.

This added time has gotten quite entertaining!

We're getting some good openings for shots on goal, but can't seem to keep the shots low enough.

At least Faes and Vesty are quite familiar with each other as a back two.

And the stadium has life again!

For whatever reason, I don't remember the shade at this end of the stadium making it so hard to see what is going on (at least on the tele). Maybe because many days are overcast? Dunno.

Winks replacing Soumare? Of course not, he's replacing Skipp.

Would love to see at least two halftime subs. Problem is, there are, at a minimum, four players who need replacing.

Regarding Fatawu's return from his ACL injury... If you are old enough, you can remember that recovery from major ACL surgery was 12 months minimum. Full recovery (back to 100% for the player) might take up to 15 months. Nowadays -- Abdul is injured November 2024. In August 2025 he is back, training, starting a friendly match, and looking at least close to 100%. Thank you modern medicine!

I have a couple of oddities wrt the FoxesHub International Seasonal Pass. I had noted that the lcfc.com site was not allowing me to purchase the Seasonal Video Pass. Every time I visited the site, the purchase button was not functional (could not be clicked). I finally remembered to log in today -- purchase button was still not clickable. I checked my account, and: I have not purchased a new pass since our last Championship season. I guess I will wait until 10 August to see if I have a video pass for the 25-26 season...

I thought I saw Ritchie de Laet at the end of the celebrations. Don't know for sure, as he and I have both aged. Anyone else see him?

Monga almost got out on the break!

Best we've looked in months! Go on, get another goal!

This Everton defense will definitely give up goals if we apply pressure. But the boys need to switch on!

An absolutely brilliant assist from Bobby Reid! Inch-perfect!

We are getting some good counterattack chances. Just need to make one or two of them count.

A largely listless performance for most of the game for me, with a rousing comeback in the end. Subs can make an impact, as it turns out! Vardy the everpresent scorer and assister! Onwards and upwards!

I keep having to remind myself "you are rooting for the team in white today, NOT the team in blue!"
