Another Premier League round to come in midweek.

[Smiffy]

Newcastle at 18/1 to win the league is worth a tenner.

Brighton may be too partied out for tonight, an unexpected draw against Bristol City follows a defeat on the final day to Villa. Newcastle three shitty wins but enough to surpass those in blue and white.



EDIT: Better yet, add a Chelsea collapse then that Tottenham double will be 113/1.

"Football....bloody hell."

[Giggles]

...and hopefully our title win!

Friday 19:45
Norwich v Brighton & Hove Albion - 19:45 Sky Sports 1

Will do a full post after our game.

What's needed? A point is it?

[Smiffy]

Seven clear, three games to go.

[Reg]

What's needed? A point is it?

A win to do it tonight.

[Giggles]

A win to do it tonight.

Happy days. Norwich look a bit too far back from the playoffs too so presumably they've chucked it already.

[Giggles]

Is Knockaert meant to be pronounced with the first K emphasised so much like this commentator is doing?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Yes, but only by smarmy pricks (and I'm a smarmy prick myself so we're talking really smarmy ones).

[Giggles]

Should I be K-nocking on doors all this time then?

Also, how fucking unlucky is that.

[Reg]

Uncanny. When has that ever happened twice in the same game.

[Magic]

Of course Norwich will be really high on confidence...

[Offshore Toon]

Another pitch invasion next weekend then.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Tottenham will win tomorrow and win easily, scoring at least four times.

[Giggles]

Tottenham will win tomorrow and win easily, scoring at least four times.

The marijuana thread is a bit further down.

[Smiffy]

Tottenham will win tomorrow and win easily, scoring at least four times as the wheels come off the Chelsea bandwagon. Conte becomes Cunte and doesn't make preseason

Fixed. It seems more Chelsea like now.

[mo]

Swindon could be relegated today against Scunthorpe, so prices have been reduced to £15 all around the ground in an effort to get a decent crowd in and some noise. There won't be any noise, ground was always quiet even when we were good. Probably just lots of boos at the end when we lose 1-0.

I might go though, for sheer bleakness of it all.

The replies.

[Magic]

This is just shit. If our season is defined by two slumping defeats to fucking Wolves and Burton...

[Shindig]

Where the hell have Fulham been? What a dumb league this is. We might be up on Wednesday.

[Foe]

Funny really, because we started the season with shite results vs Fulham and Huddersfield and looking back now, that's not even nearly as bad as it seemed at the time.

Huddersfield and readings goal difference is so poor that 1 win from 3 seals it for us in all likelihood.

The replies.

Does one of them have a putter?

[Offshore Toon]

We might be up on Monday if we win.

[Shindig]

No, a win puts us 7 above Huddersfield with them having 9 to play for. Although the beeb think otherwise.

[Magic]

Try again.

Yes, in answer to your question Offy.

[Magic]

We've only had 2 shots on target in the past 2 games, and lol at Wendies and Fulham winning. We've fucked it good and proper.

[Offshore Toon]

You alreet, pet?

What question?

What question?

Statement, then.

[Shindig]

BBC's league table didn't update, Foe. Had Huddersfield above Reading.

[Magic]

Who does Foe support anyway? Always had him down as a Don.

EDIT: Newcastle? Lol.

[Offshore Toon]

Just remember in the future that you know fuck all, Shinners.

[Magic]

Fuck you saying, Shinners?

[Giggles]

Are Newcastle the most supported club on this board?

[Offshore Toon]

Are Newcastle the most supported club on this board?

We've got the best set of fans, but I think Liverpool and Man Utd have more.

[Magic]

Haha Burton just scored.

That is fucking dreadful. Fuck the rest of the season now. Fuck it.

[Foe]

Burton

Newcastle (family) and Arsenal (because of fm) are my teams. Scottish wise I keep an eye for Ross county and Elgin for obvious reasons.

[Magic]

So you don't support anyone then?

[Offshore Toon]

Why?

[Shindig]

Just remember in the future that you know fuck all, Shinners.

I know things, just from five minutes ago.

[Foe]

Why?

I played them in a couple of fms in a row back at uni. One of which was like a 15-20 season stretch. They played good football and had likeable players so developed a soft spot for them.

Plus, Newcastle are shit, so it's nice to have an interest in both ends of the premier league (when Newcastle are there...)

[Magic]

Supporting a team based on a game.

Are you Asian?

[Adamski]

Bojan scored today against Bayern Munich and joined these 6 players in achieving what?

Florin Raducioiu
Gheorghe Popescu
John Dahl Tomasson
Pierre Wome
Obafemi Martins
Kevin-Prince Boateng

[Smiffy]

Newcastle won't be scrapping for relegation next season. Top 10.

Being over-rated shit but still scoring against Bayern Munich?

Gheorghe Popescu
John Dahl Tomasson
Pierre Wome
Obafemi Martins
Kevin-Prince Boateng

Scoring in X amount of countries?

I seem to be spotting Gheorghe Popescu everywhere lately. I read Alan Sugars book and the Tottenham chapter, such a strange way of doing things back then. Venables, GG bungs etc. Mental times but Tottenham look all the stronger for it.

[Adamski]

Wrong thread?

It's football and it happened today

Smiffs lazy answer is on the track so I'm sure you can figure it out from there.

[GS]

Scoring in the top five leagues presumably, being England (Stoke), Spain (Barcelona), Italy (Roma), Holland (Ajax) and Germany.

Hang on he hasn't scored in Ligue 1 so fuck that for a laugh.

[Samadini]

Hull are amazing. In the Summer you'd have thought they'd be on about 9 points after 34 games.
