Blue ROI

Commentator saying that Newcastle have won 5,drawn 5 and lost 5 so need to find come consistency

We're a bit more suspect at the back as we have improved our edge up front. All things considered it's the better of the 2 scenarios than that of coopers philosophy. I welcome his attack minded approach. He was one of the best in the leagues history so hopefully he can help with our play up front. Earky days and not without teething problems so far but If he can get a backroom team around him to work on the defensive side this could be promising....

Not sure I'd ever have much faith in Peps integrity given his playing career.

Would have taken a draw when losing 1-0 so that nearly seems like a win! Badly needed that point with the schedule. As much as we gave cooper stick it's not dissimilar to some other results we've had this season. But not a bad start from Ruud. We've a lot of work to do but hopefully good signs for us ahead.

Fantastic first touch from daka. Vardy esque

I'm not so sure. Incredible talent but he has been knocked out of 3 tv events in the first round this year. There are other players like gian van veen emerging and there are bound to be more young players breaking through in the next few years. Players time at the top is far shorter in the ally pally era.

Time to switch over to the darts.

The club is run so badly and out of touch in other areas that this should hardly be a surprise.

It took Top about 8 months to act on Rodgers well after we knew he was a busted flush. Let's see what our chairman has learned ....

Imagine what Liverpool and Man city away will be like without change.

It'd be more looking at Man U as a side who can do what they like without any fear of proper refereeing.

Not watching this today. Better leicester teams than this struggle in old Trafford. If it can further the argument for a change then all is not lost.

From the 00s. J Dilla - Donuts 2006 Magnificent in its own right. Even more so in the circumstances it was made. The Wrens - Meadowlands 2003 US indie masterpiece. The regrets of life hitting the mid 30s. Takes a few listens to come round to it but worth it.

Is Danny Ward starting?

The own brand stuff of ours the last few seasons has been horrific.

2nd was a great goal. Unlucky he didn't get an assist for another before that. I would have taken a chance signing him.

The luckiest manager since Southgate!!

Groundhog Day Brought to you by Top.

One step closer..... But a cracking goal it must be said

That starting 11. Is Brendan Rodgers back?

Someone who can build the club around the 'Pearson' template.

I don't know how Joe Cullen has been at the top 20 for so long. He's never looked any good when I've watched him.

Yeah city west took in a lot of Ukrainians that meant the darts was out of bounds and it's still the same situation as far as I can tell. Don't think Dublin was ever the right venue anyway. Has a bigger population but the crowds for the early rounds were the weakest of all the majors by a distance I would say. Nice to have an event over here but it will go the ways of Goffs in the snooker. Other than the matchplay the PDC has outgrown all other venues and is probably happier to be out of Dublin.

A few moans about the empty spaces in the stand but it's still a good crowd in front of it. Much bigger than the citywest I reckon.

The Kante of keepers.
