    Privately I think Liverpool can catch Arsenal. But Arsenal had a great 2nd half yesterday albeit Antonio could have made it 2-0.

    I love how Grealish's slander has turned Almiron into a world class player.

    Just noting how mainstream British press have quietly slipped into lockstep behind a central (organized) theme:- Viz that Rashford/Kane/Sterling/Saka are all in red-hot form and are propelling their respective clubs to great things at present .

    In other words "shut your fucking mouth and forget about Qatar and everything"

    Almiron's improvement is one of the oddest occurances I've seen. He's been around for a while. Props to him and Howe.

    @meetthefeebles were you at this game? I was but i remember next to none of it:duck:An 8pm kick off is late in the day when youve been in N'cassle since 10am. i remember being up on the second tier behind the goal near the touchline and the layout was so similar to that part of the east stand at Celtic park (the 'rangers' end) that i had a couple of wobbly moments where i forgot what stadium i was in

    If sellik win tonight its our best calandar year in the league - points average and goals scored- since 2002 under Martin O'Neil. Its certainly been the best stuff to watch since then.

    Just came in and there's a gang of girls sat about watching that 4 Weddings and a Funeral stuff. It features Cunt John Hannah but that's ok.

    Movie ends and the soundtrack starts and I hear a voice I've haven't heard since ages. It's Marti Pellow, who feels it in his fingers, feels it in his toes, so he does

    I remember reading years ago that he'd tried to do himself in a few years ago so I Wikipedia's him to see what he's all about.

    Straight off I'm getting "bad" vibes about the guy, from the assumed name (ma's maiden name and his school nickname of "Smarty") and then it turns out he was a smack addict and fell out with his mates.


    But I read on, and soon discovered the real true source of his bad natured self....

    As I said there's a sort of a narrative flying about. If Kyogo played for England he'd be getting great copy.

    These media boys reckon they run football.....

    Yeah. They weren't throwing a leg previously. That whole NUFC outfit. You can't just go from fucking last to second by making some huge overnight "improvement". It's great to see a "recuperation" until you realise the guy just wasn't trying up until recently

    Nah, you could never have accused him of not trying previously, if anything he looked like one of those honest but limited in terms of technique and vision who will never let you down for effort but are outclassed when they meet next level teams...he's certainly on good form, I would put it down to coaching, same for Joalinton

    It's a TV with Sky built in, no need for a dish etc. Seems like a good deal, I have Sky Go tied to my folks account on my pc but obviously I can't buy PPV's or anything like that. Just wondering about the picture quality, the TV's themselves actually seem decent, but the reviews online are very marmite. It's either the best thing ever or complete shite.

    For one moment I thought Pellow would actually make an appearance having seen limmys work and tee'n a fancy to it. You know give the guy a dig out and help promote his show.

    But then I remembered that .....

    I was looking for something like that, couldn't find one. A month's trial would be great.

    I presume the TV excludes the possibility of switching provider at any point if that Sky sub becomes more than you think it's worth

    Yeah, fair point actually, hadn't thought of that. You're probably right in that there would be a clause in it.

    Yeah, Almiron never hid, he was just useless. No end product, nothing. His improvement is remarkable. Joelinton is also reinvented, but the explanation there is more simple. He is too poor a finisher to be a centre-forward and his consistent work rate is a perfect foil for Bruno. Howe recognised this and moved him. He's an absolute beast of a midfielder. An absolute unit.

    Coaching is definitely key. The difference between someone like Howe and that daft fat useless cunt Bruce is sugar and shite.

    I still think we're overachieving, with the side we have. I'm now starting to realise that a CL spot might be possible this year, with a couple of new additions in January.
