Have you not watched Mission Impossible - they made nuclear launch codes print out in a briefcase in a hotel room a floor below, using a smart contact lens. 🤪😜😁😎🧐

Of course it will - the Premier League is all about the Product, Newcastle are perfect for the product right now. Forget the gnashing of teeth over Saudi practices not being in line with much of the rest of the world, that was all smoke and mirrors to hide the passing of brown envelopes. Newcastle have £139m to spend this window, and if Howe doesn’t raid Bournemouth for Solanke, and the like from elsewhere. They potentially have the tools to assemble a team to mix things up at the top and create a bit of a story outside the usual “big six” for the Premier League to razzle dazzle, and there being no danger of falling foul of FFP. We are just mere cannon fodder to feed the Premier League Spectacular show.

I’ve only had Flu once (touchwood) I remember it because it knocked me on my backside, got me 2 weeks off school and it very kindly decided to coincide with the Innsbruck Winter Olympics - which made me get out of bed and go downstairs to watch on TV on the sofa in my jimjams under the duvet.

Thought it was pretty swift only the numpties not paying attention and not being ready for the check and going in search of their pass in their App at the point of checking Seemed like a different crew to the normal stewards just in new coats.

Think a few of us began to think the same, ate up time, allowed the team to reset as they knew it was coming - punt it upfield into play and it’s coming back at us straight away. Then suddenly he tweaked it and sticks it almost on a sixpence for Broja to nearly steal the game.

Dave was bragging to his boss one day, "You know, I know everyone famous there is to know" "Go on - Just name someone, anyone, and I bet that know them" Tired of his boasting, his boss decides to call Dave's bluff, "OK, Dave, how about Tom Cruise?" "Not a problem boss" "Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it" So Dave and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door. Tom Cruise is at home and answers the door himself and shouts, "Dave! What's happening?" "Great to see you!" "Come on in for a beer! Although shocked and more than a little impressed, Dave's boss is still sceptical and he tells Dave that he thinks him knowing Cruise was just pure luck. "No, no, just name anyone else then" Dave says. “President Biden!" His boss quickly retorts. "Yup" Dave says, "We're buddies from years ago" "Let's fly out to Washington and I'll show you" So they fly out to Washington and go on the Whitehouse tour" "While walking through the White House, Biden himself appears, spots Dave on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, "Dave, what a surprise, it's great to see you again after all this time" "I was just on my way to a meeting but you and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up" After they leave the White House grounds the boss tells Dave that he's still not entirely convinced. Dave again implores him to name another famous person. After thinking about it for a long time the boss replies with, "The Pope!" "Sure thing!" Says Dave, "known the Pope for years - since before he became Pope in fact" So off they fly to Rome. Dave and his boss are assembled with the masses in Saint Peter's Square at the Vatican. Dave says, “This will never work" "I can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people" "Tell you what, I know all the Pope's guards here as well so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope." Sure enough, half an hour later Dave emerges with the Pope on the balcony, but by the time Dave returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics. Making his way to his boss' side, Dave asks him, "What happened?" His boss looks up and says, "It was the final straw" "You and the Pope came out on the balcony and a Japanese tourist next to me said," "Who the hell is that on the balcony with Dave?"

Might have said it before (but can’t be bothered to look it up) Perraud is one of Lawrie Mac’s “roadsweepers” no fancy Dan stuff just a workhorse with a good paced engine to get up and down the line, when he gets to the goal line you know he is looking whip the ball over into the mixer. I like him and it does add more fuel to the fire for giving KWP and Tino a spin up the right, that would likely make our right side a nightmare for the oppos. To my mind the left back position wouldn’t be weakened with Perraud.

Must have taken Taylor ages to get his receipts for everything he bought in Southampton yesterday in order

Overriding thought walking out of the ground - it was great to see some fight at last.

Much rather him play and be more potent against Newcastle, than him being nullified and possibly wound up by a bunch of players many of whom have known him for years and more likely to apply the dark arts to gain an advantage.

Maybe Perraud will get a spin out to protect KWP if he is on the tightrope. Anthony Taylor’s on the whistle. And he can be a funny bugger in the middle - Martin Atkinson will be sat in the back of the Transit van in the north car park watching the TVs getting in Taylor’s ear

Still had our pants down at £10m - and still looked like he is made on Emmental yesterday for Norwich.

Man City truly had our pants down for £15m there, watching yesterday he seems to made out of Swiss Cheese

Glad the missus brought a slice of Christmas cake with 10 to go - the sugar rush from the icing probably kept me going………..then again it might have been the brandy I’ve injecting into it over the past few weeks. Thought Salisu was pretty good

Jeez he walloped that

Arse

What an almost expensive brainfart

If you get a chance check out the Boro opener v Forest an absolute head in hands own goal howler 😂

Lots of empty seats in the Taxpayer Arena!

Wow that was deceptive

You missed off Southgate and England winning Team and Manager of the year at SPOTY - and the three of them stood on the stage looking like "how the chuff are we here - we failed - everyone else won".

WooHoo! My Season Ticket box has arrived just on time for Christmas!!! OH!………….boy! -we certainly know how to piddle away the pennies!

Surprised they can stand up - their feet are so full of bullet holes!

Now we are officially working from home and the work Christmas meal has been binned that day - I might just tune in get shitfaced to numb the pain…………..I’ve always been glass half full with Saints but like a McDonalds Big Mac my glass is resembling a thimble.

Just watched the highlights - we need to get promoted before we loose Milly Mott - she is different gravy. Probably just slot in a treat at Palace on Wednesday
