Makes you wonder if Amanda is following this thread.

I call her Mandy.

(lol)

Yeah, lol but not at what you’re giggling about. They can’t change any of the players until Jan, they are in a precarious position and need to get the best out of the current players. You don’t do that by telling him he’s a donkey who can’t run and turns like an aircraft carrier. It’s called good man management.

Newcastle United: Eddie Howe to miss first game after positive Covid-19 test - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59354229

Am mildly amused how NUFC galactic takeover is descending into farce. Probably a fake sheikh?

 

[andrew d]

I'm not amused. I'm wishing Howe, De Bruyne and anyone else who contracts this dreadful disease all the best and a speedy recovery.

 

[Stuart Frazer]

Good news, Stuart.

I think Lee Charnley had to go at some point. After the takeover, he probably knew that too. Rightly, or wrongly, as the club front for Ashley, he had become too toxic with the fans. However, when we work for others, we all usually have to do things we don't like or don't agree with. We just have to get on with it and do what we are told to do. If he rocked the boat, Ashley would have pushed him overboard. I'm sure he has done reasonably well out of it financially, but it would be good to hear his side of the story when his severance NDA expires.

It could only happen to Newcastle. Hopefully, Eddie can still play his part - I'm sure they are frantically working to get him a live TV stream and dugout phone comms to his hotel room. He will have met a huge amount of people over the last few weeks. It just shows that we all still need to be very careful. I just hope it doesn't go through the club players and staff. Back in October, it was revealed that only 68% of Premier League players were fully vaccinated, 81% having had a 1st jab.

Wishing Eddie, KdB and any others infected a full and speedy recovery.

He could always do the Jose Marino thing and show up in the laundry basket on the touchline, might help/be a laugh

Chelsea absolutely irresistible today - a proper 3 nil.

 

[Weekender]

Keegan mode engaged.
Shelvey and Willock in midfield.
Darlow still in goal. Hmm.

 

[Blue Belle]

Chelsea absolutely irresistible today - a proper 3 nil.

I look forward to watching it tonight.

Whoever finishes above Chelsea next season will win the league.

Reece James; full back, wing back, midfielder, finisher, supplier, crosser, tackler, coverer, defender, genius.

Liverpool v Ramsdale is an interesting game

 

[tqineil]

I look forward to watching it tonight.

Leicester were dreadful, game over once Rudiger scored, Chelsea ruthless tho

 

[tqineil]

Liverpool v Ramsdale is an interesting game

3-0 with 15 to play, he's prevented a cricket score

 

[ks.234]

3-0 with 15 to play, he's prevented a cricket score

4!

 

[tqineil]

It was a fairly flat game til Arteta and Klopp clashed I thought

 

[NRG]

Squeaky win for Wycombe just two points cover the top 4, exciting. Good win for Watford may utd keep OGS on for a bit longer, they deserve it! Tomorrow will be interesting.

 

[Woodface]

Excellent win against the baggies. We have the makings of a decent team but I hope our luck with injury changes
