I can't see us finishing as high as this year. Not so much pessimism as practicality: last season we were unknown quantity for first two months. Teams got wise to us later on. I predict we will do much better against bottom six clubs and much, much worse against top six. Finish around 8th, 9th...

To be fair to Bruce, there aren't many people on the planet who would travel across the world from Sheffield to Shanghai simply to watch Newcastle play West Ham in a friendly. That's fucking dedication.

And you lot are just pleased because you won 14-0 away from home yesterday. Only the games against Wigan, Charlton and Millwall will be that easy during the season. And QPR, Brentford and Huddersfield.

You're from Bristol. We just thought that was how you wrote.

Cheers. Busy times and very slow internet connection here so always difficult to access the Marie Celeste forum.

Interested to know what went wrong with Brentford, Forest and Stoke? As we speak, the board, players, coaching staff, catering staff and groundsmen at Derby are all working round the clock to see how they can throw that last play-off spot away. The FL have warned Derby, apparently, that they...

Was that excluding own goals?

Who?

Boly is gutted. That's him ruled out of the Ballon d'Or in future. Although he can twerk.

Out of interest, where did all your money go? Seem to be a lot more yachts in Ocean Village marina though. Possibly connected. You were the Leicester of the PL before Leicester were the Leicester of the PL, whereas you're now the Newcastle of the PL and Leicester are the Southampton of the PL.

Fortunes have changed a bit, eh? How's it going? What went wrong with Keith Curle?

This has aged well. I'd still go for the eponymous Maupay.

Yeh we are. Always have been.

:2thumb: Cardiff above us..... :pmsl:

Admit I'm impressed with how well Birmingham are doing this season. The Baggies and Villa have both got parachute money and decent support, whereas Brum are flying high despite having a mediocre squad (bar one or two) and having to play behind closed doors this season. Kudos.

Yes, let's blame it on Brentford.....:lol:

Bielsa's six hour in-depth analysis is obviously done by other managers too. Neil Warnock, for example, gets someone who owns a mobile to Google the postcode of the ground where they're about to play and gives it to the coach driver. Fair play to Bielsa [excuse the cracking pun there]. Reckon...

To be fair, whenever I see the phrase "high risk game", the Whitstable Herne Bay derby is always top of mind.

And really couldn't happen to a nicer bloke. So pleased to see that he has a career beyond diving and writhing around on the pitch.
