Move the fucking ball quicker!!!

Archer not seeing the ball really. You’ve got to say, why bother bringing these players on and not utilising them?

Linton is doing everything he can to injure Bednarek - the Ref really needs to watch carefully…don’t think VAR gives a toss.

Aaarrgh!!

Because of one man who should know how to clear the ball out of his area.

Oh fuck off McCarthy - utter utter shit after the outfield has been bossing it.

Nice cross from Suga there. BBD did a Che.

Nobody wants to fucking shoot!

Stupid free kick - just test the f-ing keeper!

Excellent shithousery from BBD! Usually it’s us that gets that nonsense against us. Big atmosphere now!

Suga so far having a great game. We are doing ok.

Nervously looking forward to seeing what we can do. Think it could be a big wake-up call with a number of horrible fuck-ups when trying to pass in our pen area. Shearer has called it 3-1, so I’d like us to completely make him look a prat and win or at worst draw. Not sure I like a 3 CB defence, especially with Stephens there…invites pressure and inevitably means there are fewer options to play out. Good to see we’ve moved on from Manning. Good to see Archer straight onto the bench as an option with Tyler too. Is Aribo good enough to deserve a start? Jury out, but I thought he looked leggy and got caught with the ball a bit too much in pre-season games. So tough to call this…think it will be a sad loss, but let’s hope it’s more 2-1 than 9-0. COYS!

Welcome Cam Archer - looks like you’ve got a couple of good feet, so let’s hope we get the ball to you so you can show what you can do with them. Hint: you might need to wait for quite long spells.😜

I like Alcarez - think he’s got further improvement but obviously not really an RM type player, so getting the money to make MOR happen is a big positive, if indeed Celtic will sell.

Their hearts not in it. 🤣

AFC Wimbledon away or home.

Sounds like the “yeah we tried and tried to find answers but it just didn’t happen for us and so we go with what we’ve got” line will be spun in the not too distant future.

Ah got it. CD = central defender. ROM = Nicolas Romero - 20 year old left footed CB from Argentina. Championship Mgr = he’s one for the future when we get relegated. Easy. 😉

Yeah true - I’ve been wondering what the seemingly inevitable defeat on Saturday will do to squad mentality and if that continues for the majority of EPL matches, will it be to the detriment also of cup games and even next season in the Championship if we’re relegated.

It is relatively weak, however is it right to almost completely change out the team that earnt promotion? Team spirit is very important part of the overall dynamic and it seems that’s the one area that Russ has improved over the tired dross of a team we went down with. It could be argued that more money would have bought better quality in key positions, however if the big moneys not there…well it’s not there and that’s the end of it. SR are gambling that there’s enough there to get us through - team spirit could make all the difference and with that in mind my view is if we sign one more player it has to be O’Riley (if that’s still possible) as he loves Russ and should prove decisive in getting and assisting goals. I’m not however holding my breath and anyway, whoever comes in this week will not make the Newcastle team sheet.

Exactly - who are these 12 signings? Must be including youngsters? I’ve got….THB, Lallana, Downes, Taylor, Suga, Edward’s, Woods - that’s 7.

Lallana. Massive. 🤣 In truth, probably Ings.

I’ll be honest and say my interest is in the holistic view of how our failing public services will be repaired, rather than gathering statistics. My issue is not your stats specifically, just that to ensure a proper fix is identified and deployed, it is essential to ensure that myths are exposed.

Do you think Bournemouth have the funds to get him and would he want to go there?

There you go again trying to attribute thoughts to me that you really have idea about and it you that is making assumptions, which is why I asked questions to provide you an opportunity to validate your figures. You didn’t and can’t. It’s all very well spouting numbers - where’s the solutions? The issue here is one of sustainability in a social care program that is on the brink of collapse. At what point do we say, there is no more money to do all the things we’d like to do? Look at the numbers of migrants waiting for their claims to be processed - how will that queue get resolved without the resources to do so? Are you willing to pay more tax to get the job done?
