Yeah this. Get this season out the way and perhaps the owners have a strategy for us all to get behind for next season.

How can a side that has been starting to look decent again have ANOTHER run that makes us look like the worst team in the league, with no significant injuries. This has to be on Ralph and I hope the new owners are watching.

Yep. Everton v Man Utd and Norwich v Burnley this weekend. If all goes to plan, more pressure added. Nice watching them squirm for a while.

Same. When Redmond was taking them for a while, there was a randomness to them that oddly was quite effective. Gave us something different.

Last season with limited depth, this scenario would have been terrible for us. This season our depth is better and we are arguably more competitive with 5 subs. Still don't like it though, and of course it favours clubs with a fuller, better squad. It favours the clubs with most to spend on superior bench players. People accepting this for Saints are accepting that we are fairly comfortable in the Prem at the moment. With the struggles with depth that we've had in recent times, it's a risk to gamble that we'd be able to keep up with this.

The moment the shot left his foot I thought "awful" but replay shows he bent it towards the goal and with hindsight he was unlucky. He knew what he was doing there.

Lol, game on. In fairness we stayed in that half and were creating towards the end.

Stephens has forgotten how to kick a football.

Mike Dean's put on some timber.

I find that if you don't clean your car for 3 years, it stops getting any dirtier.

Bah. Keeps Newcastle below us for the time being I suppose.

Insulate Britain's Goal Posts!

Had some protest t-shirt on but couldn't make it out.

Got the bolt croppers out. Looks like a hippie.

Two entirely separate transactions. Only a conspiracy theorist would think otherwise.

Agree, and I suspect much of Trump's railing at NATO was to attempt to get a financial "good deal" for the US (America first!) as much as for overall global security. Having said that I have heard him go on about Russia essentially having Germany by the balls by their continuing dependence on Russia for their fuel.

His point was that the US is the main financial investor to NATO. Germany wasn't paying their fair share and was also funnelling money to Russia, whilst at the same time expecting the US to defend them against Russia. Been going on for decades of course, but he's the only one I heard bleating on about it.

I read somewhere recently that Russia has an under-population problem which may have contributed to the timing of the attack. Like most modern countries it is accumulating an increasing older population, but those of fighting age appear to be diminishing, presumably due to declining birth rates over the past few decades. Add to that younger people choosing to leave, perhaps to an increasingly attractive West, and Putin's losing a potential fighting force year on year.

Yeah, wanted Burnley to win that one, just to put the shits up Everton for a week or two.

AA puts arm up appealing for corner. JWP gives him a high five.

Yeah agree. Newcastle started well but as soon as we got the goal we have looked like the better team despite conceding.
