A few things occur to me watching Newcastle v Brighton:

 

We mustn't try to play through Newcastle's press in our own half; even Brighton can't do it effectively. 

 

Both of these teams have some proper nasty gits playing for them. Had forgotten what it was like to see that from a team, watching how soft we've become over recent seasons. 

 

I'm more certain than ever that it would be a miracle of biblical proportions if we were to get any kind of result on Monday apart from a heavy loss. 

Hardy cvnts are underrated. We got stick for the way Huth and Morgan play but all top teams have a dirty cvnt or two. Fernandinho, Rodri, Fabinho, Casimero all cvnts but you'd love to have them in your team.

One down 10 to go.

[Finnegan]

Don't want to see anyone injured but that can't hurt us.

absolutely! We have a squad full of passive softies who never really seem up for a physical battle. I think a dirty cvnt CM should be our no.1 target in the summer window!

Yeah we need every bit of help we can get though

Looks like it won’t be Willock vs Pillocks on Monday, 1 down, could do with a few more.

This why I was so jealous when Fulham signed Pahlinha

Just means we might only concede the 2 goals this time

I was thinking the complete opposite.

 

Would like to see them all injured but they’d probably still hurt us.

Not long ago JoeLinton was a laughing stock and Youri Tielemans was a productive quality player. How times change.

What if Newcastle are the new Leicester 2020 and 2021 and in the midst of bollocking up CL qualification?

Moving Joe Linton to midfield made a difference, more of a playmaker rather than a out and out striker

How is De Zerbi up for manager of the year over Gary O'Neil? He took over Brighton in 4th, they're now 6th. The carry on is as if he took them over in the bottom 3 and put them up there.

Rodgers is manager of the year, no money and got us to 18th, and had we not sacked Jesus (according to media) we would be winning the title now

Please please please let us be their Bournemouth

Where did Brighton get Mitoma from?

Every time I’ve watched him he looks very very good

Would be more 24 to go, then we might have a chance against their kids

Fear West Ham’s away tie in Europe will make things considerably easier for Leeds on Sunday even if there’s no extra time tonight.
But again, our 30 points is the reason we’re there we need to increase that before looking for favours and good fortune from elsewhere.

if they can follow our trajectory and get relegated in 2026/27 then I'm all for that.

Unfortunately they don’t have Rodgers, Howe os far better and I expect Newcastle to ease to CL and go back to how they were in the 90’s. Newcastle have been doing everything in a smart manner at the moment

Well they do to me whether non league or premier league. I’ll be watching, but most of the viewing, no doubt it will be scary 😟 from now on
