    The defence has looked poor all season, I like Cash but he really struggled without getting any support and Targett looked back to his Southampton days without Grealish in front of him. Wasn't surprised to see Smith go.
    Injuries/suspension:

    Konsa
    Douglas Luiz
    Sanson
    Traore
    Trezeguet
    Ings

    Most of whom start, but it fills the bench. Not an excuse for the season though. Only the Southampton game it was that bad. Three of the six have generally been available.

    And yeah, it's been crap.

    Whilst I've looked up Sandra, Alexander Burke comes across annoying as fuck. I don't blame him.

    Well in my experience that means they'll be winning the 2041 Champions League. Only if they win that replay though.

    So, 2 North Korean footballers have been off the radar for a while. Han Kwang Song (former Calgliari and Juve) and Choe Song Hyok (Perugia and Jubilo) haven't really been seen since early 2020.

    Turns out both have been living at the DPRK embassy in Rome since Jan 2020, however, the reasons they are unable to leave are not quite evident.

    It sounds like Gerrard is going to say yes to Villa.

    A good move for him. Villa are an unoffensive club and should stay up as long as he does a decent job. Also gives him something of an audition for when Klopp leaves in 2024.

    It's an interesting one. I have no idea how good he is. He's obviously backing himself but it seems mental he's even being considered.

    I think success in Scotland (or any of the smaller leagues) is usually enough to get a job for one of the teams outside the top 6.

    I'd rather take a chance on Gerrard than go round the managerial merry-go-round and get some like Bruce or Hughes.

    Obviously might not work out but Villa are the sort of position that it would have to go horribly wrong for it to end up with Villa going down.

    They're two points above relegation.

    There's no way that they go down though. Way too much quality there once they get a few players back.

    There is always that possibility but then 2022 was meant to be the year he left before his last extension. As I understand it, it'll be a case of wait and see as opposed to anything concrete.

    I didn't know or think much of Howe before he got linked, but everything that has come out since the announcement has been very positive. It's also nice to see the players training properly without being given days off for no reason all the time.

    Any of the Bruce fans want to take a bet on us being in the relegation zone on January 1st?

    I'm hoping it gives the Bournemouth lot a new lease. Namely Ritchie who I rate but seems to have spent the last year of his life being Paul Dummett. Any kind of honeymoon period just to get us out of the rut we're in. He's got the international break to break the ice, at least.

    What would that prove? They’re a whole 5 points off not being in the relegation zone with a possible 30 points to win in that time.

    If I bet a fiver you wouldn’t id expect 500 in return if they were.

    A strike force of Wilson and Solanke would secure an instant return if that did happen tbh. As it is, I don't think he will take them down. There is just enough quality in that squad somewhere to at least have a proper go of staying up whilst the winter window should see them buy their way out if not.

    Buying their way to safety worked wonders for erm .... did QPR survive one season? Tevez and Mascherano were summer signings for West Ham.

    Not relevant given none had the finances that The Richest Club In The World now has.

    If Newcastle don't bring in players in January then it would make you question what the actual point of the takeover is.

    20m for a 21yo who counts as home-grown doesn't seem like that much in the current market to be honest. It's not a particularly good deal, but it's not that horrible either.

    A prominent Saudi dissident who was injured in an attack at his home said yesterday he believed he had been the target of a kidnap attempt instigated by a Saudi prince.

    Saad al-Fagih, head of the London-based Movement for Islamic Reform in Arabia (MIRA), suffered a broken rib and leg injuries when two unidentified assailants attacked him with a spanner and a gas spray.

    And that’s just one that’s public. Believing they do what they do because they just want to invest in the future of England is just ignorant. I’m sorry.

    Fonics, to know that we know what we know, and to know that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge.

    Hope that helps.

    I pointed out that they cared enough to make a massive diplomatic incident about it and you started talking about Newcastle Season ticket holders?
