If Barca then shell out for Soldado and Vlad Chiriches we need to start worrying.

Matt DC, Saturday, 12 August 2017 19:47 (seven years ago) link

watching MOTD has re-affirmed that Lossl has made two very good saves today, but still his distribution is L1 standard. but sometimes they all seem shite tbh.

Was at a wedding miles from radio or any other telecommunications infrastructure.

Did I miss owt

I think the main story was that apart from a few exceptions, most premiership defences are still in pissed up holiday mode.

calzino, Sunday, 13 August 2017 10:45 (seven years ago) link

Sissoko in the starting line-up oh dear.

Matt DC, Sunday, 13 August 2017 12:01 (seven years ago) link

Booing Sissoko is odd. How many Newcastle fans would have rather he stayed?

Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Sunday, 13 August 2017 12:43 (seven years ago) link

he acted like a twat his entire time there tbf

Number None, Sunday, 13 August 2017 12:45 (seven years ago) link

bit of a let-off for Kyle Walker jr. there

Number None, Sunday, 13 August 2017 12:47 (seven years ago) link

Walker-Peters has looked alright so far tbf. He and Sissoko are playing lots of meaningless passes to one another.

Imagine if Newcastle fans booed every player who gave up on their club.

Matt DC, Sunday, 13 August 2017 12:49 (seven years ago) link

hooray harry sticks one up some daft frenchman #fuckoff #brexit

imago, Sunday, 13 August 2017 13:07 (seven years ago) link

No fucking way that was accidental from Shelvey.

Matt DC, Sunday, 13 August 2017 13:39 (seven years ago) link

hah! what an absolute shithead and good news for us.

calzino, Sunday, 13 August 2017 13:47 (seven years ago) link

Lovely.

Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Sunday, 13 August 2017 13:50 (seven years ago) link

I can cope with Trippier being off for a few more weeks, KWP is fine here.

Matt DC, Sunday, 13 August 2017 13:53 (seven years ago) link

good to have Newcastlol back bringing the lols where they belong

put your hands on the car and get ready to die (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 13 August 2017 14:04 (seven years ago) link

classy lot for booing a player mainly because he was deliberately stamped on.

calzino, Sunday, 13 August 2017 14:15 (seven years ago) link

he's also a massive cunt though

Number None, Sunday, 13 August 2017 14:19 (seven years ago) link

I wasn't aware of that tbh. What has he done?

calzino, Sunday, 13 August 2017 14:20 (seven years ago) link

let's go to the archives

(and that's just the most egregious example)

Number None, Sunday, 13 August 2017 14:24 (seven years ago) link

that'll be why the Newcastle fans booed him off

put your hands on the car and get ready to die (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 13 August 2017 14:25 (seven years ago) link

oh ... that type of cunt. He looks a pretty fucking tidy player tho!

calzino, Sunday, 13 August 2017 14:27 (seven years ago) link

they obviously booed him off for this reaction. Unfair? Possibly. But I wouldn't have much sympathy for one of the nastiest players in the league

Number None, Sunday, 13 August 2017 14:28 (seven years ago) link

I mean I'm quite casual about him now because I have previously only seen the odd clip of him, but if I saw him going studs up on our record signing - I'd probably want the bastard strung up as well!

calzino, Sunday, 13 August 2017 14:48 (seven years ago) link

Dele is a childish enough prick, and at six foot and with a nasty stream in him I'd not be rushing to his defence.

One of the nastiest in the league? Wouldn't have said so tbh. Maybe in a spurs shirt it's more surprising to see it idk.

jk rowling obituary thread (darraghmac), Sunday, 13 August 2017 14:55 (seven years ago) link

he looks like a boy scout next to some of the lower league nasty fuckers I've seen in my time. Darren Bullock was more like a violent offender than a nasty footballer. But he had a heart of gold and only ever bludgeoned to death his own .. etc..

He once threatened to break Craig Bellamy's legs in the tunnel, but got sent off before he could do that, for stamping on someone's head. Not for us, I should add.

calzino, Sunday, 13 August 2017 15:08 (seven years ago) link

Chris Morgan played epl which is a disgrace given his career was the injury of players

jk rowling obituary thread (darraghmac), Sunday, 13 August 2017 15:14 (seven years ago) link

well here is a coincidence, both Morgan and Bullock were both former Warnock signings.

calzino, Sunday, 13 August 2017 15:20 (seven years ago) link

Early days obv but I have to say Matic looks like a superb signing so far

Number None, Sunday, 13 August 2017 15:44 (seven years ago) link

Was just going to say the same.

Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 13 August 2017 15:47 (seven years ago) link

Kind of amazing that united haven't created a single chance from all the corners they've had considering the physical size of the team now. That goal was pretty great though

plp will eat itself (NickB), Sunday, 13 August 2017 15:51 (seven years ago) link

lol what was that bit of drink bottle arranging ocd all about from Mourinho?

Ste, Sunday, 13 August 2017 16:05 (seven years ago) link

Well this is quite satisfying

Number None, Sunday, 13 August 2017 16:46 (seven years ago) link

down to 2nd ffs!

calzino, Sunday, 13 August 2017 16:47 (seven years ago) link

more like waste ham amirite

plp will eat itself (NickB), Sunday, 13 August 2017 16:47 (seven years ago) link

More like Slaven Bilious amialsorite

Wewlay Bewlay (Tom D.), Sunday, 13 August 2017 16:49 (seven years ago) link

this is fucking up that 250/1 quid bet I've got on Hudds being top after 3 games. Gonna have to treat that cakewalk against the Geordies next week as a GD improving exercise.

calzino, Sunday, 13 August 2017 16:52 (seven years ago) link

oh fuck me! here comes the hyperbole after Man U have a good game. It never gets old.

calzino, Sunday, 13 August 2017 16:57 (seven years ago) link

The hyperbole is terrible, but I've not seen ManU play this good in at least a year. I'll take it before the inevitable string of draws kicks in.

Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 13 August 2017 17:01 (seven years ago) link

I'd say four years...

Number None, Sunday, 13 August 2017 17:09 (seven years ago) link

tbf they were excellent, but the portentous tommyrot starts to become unbearable!

calzino, Sunday, 13 August 2017 17:34 (seven years ago) link

This is a good United team, like it's actually balanced in a way that no post-Fergie squad has been. Still needs more in attacking midfield positions but the Matic deal could go down as one of the all-time worst transfers for the selling club.

Matt DC, Sunday, 13 August 2017 20:56 (seven years ago) link

It is only early doors, but to miss out on Lukako and lose Matic to the same rival seem like season defining blunders.

calzino, Sunday, 13 August 2017 21:50 (seven years ago) link

To have sold them both tbh

jk rowling obituary thread (darraghmac), Sunday, 13 August 2017 22:04 (seven years ago) link

But wasn't there some kind of nonchalant arrogance from Chelsea's negotiations? Like they thought they were a shoe-in to resign him at one point? God I hate that creepy, wiggy bastard tbh.

calzino, Sunday, 13 August 2017 22:18 (seven years ago) link

Meanwhile on the Spanish Super Cup Ronaldo came on for 20mins, had a contentionsly disallowed offside goal, scored a ripper, got booked for taking his shirt off, booked again for diving and have the referee a bonus shove on the way out.

Matt DC, Sunday, 13 August 2017 22:19 (seven years ago) link

Pretty sure Chelsea were so confident of getting Lukaku that they forgot to put an offer in.

Matt DC, Sunday, 13 August 2017 22:20 (seven years ago) link

The situation with Costa is strange as well. The move to Atleti sounded very straightforward on paper but has clearly gone off the rails.

Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Sunday, 13 August 2017 22:50 (seven years ago) link

Sanchez to Spurs rumors are persistent, and indeed seems to be abt 40m quid. He's pretty good but.. is this really the position they need enforcement?
