I realise I feel sorry for Martin. Yes, he could resign but I think he's actually being paid to twist in the wind till the end of the season. There's really no point in getting someone else in to take all the shit whilst we get relegated. So, he cops it for a few months, gets paid out while sr do what they're doing, whatever that is

Probably umbrage. But you can't be perfect and NJ is a long way off that!

I agree with this. 👍 I also think we're in championship next season, so I'm fairly chilled about all the bollocks with NJ - he didn't work the miracle we wanted.

Thanks for updating. This news from the women's team has always been good to read! (Even when losing)

I think this started as a technical discussion about how xg was implemented. I really don't think you or anyone else is demanding it should be used as the only measure of how a game went. So the emotionality should really be kept at bay - if the idea of these stats pisses you off, you don't have to be bothered about it. Some coaches/scouts might use it, but they're not going to blab about how they use it!

I always thought it was 1885? If so, some will leave 7 seconds later😄

Glad something else noticed this 😀

I've wondered how much piped sound we get to hear.

I'm not sure if you're joking. Any case decent player😀

I'm in Australia. Andy Townsend is the commentator. It sounds like the crowd and him are being generated like on FIFA etc. If love to think otherwise, but the noise seems so generic.

Blimey! That's quality - great descriptive work backed up with sensible stats. 👍

Worth knowing!

My mum got the same bus as him in Manchester, in the 50s. She was completely star struck and remembered him very fondly, though I think she only had a couple of chats on the bus.

The Sky (? I'm in Oz) commentators mixed up Redmond and Bertrand, again, when they walked off half time.

Don't think Newcastle look like relegation any more. Though they may still lose, they're better than we were last season.
