    They were the best of the rest when the rest consisted of seventeen teams because they had Alan Shearer. They are a mid-table side with a big stadium.

    To Bobby's credit, he did get 3rd, 4th and 5th in consecutive seasons. Then it went to shit. Seems you can't manage that with this club for longer than 3 years. And the regular cup runs? 1998-2000 is as regular as it got. Count 2003-2005 for the two UEFA Cup runs but one was a bottlejob and the other was Drogba suddenly deciding he was about to amazing forever.

    Before our Rafa took over Newcastle were one of my least favourite clubs, mostly due to their supporters insistence that they’re a ‘big’ club despite never ever even getting close to winning anything.
    They’re a little club who happen to be in a big, football loving city.


    Rafa though

    I see Neymar's first game back went well.

    Time to go back into hibernation. Someone needs to save Mbappe from PSG.

    He, and anyone at PSG, are complete nobodies anyway. Anyone willing to waste their career playing against sub-Championship shite will be completely forgettable after retirement. That said, he has a few Euro's to dry his tears with.

    I like Neymar. We need players like him who clearly think they are better than everyone else and cry when things dont go their way.

    Mbappe does not need to leave PSG anytime soon. He can just keep collecting easy league titles. Its easy work.

    I also see that Messi won La Liga again last night to make it 8 from the past 11 seasons. 10 overall for him. Vidal also has won 8 straight league titles across 3 different countries.

    8 in 11 for Barca, 7 in a row for Bayern, 6 in 7 years for PSG, 8 in a row for Juve, European football is dead.

    Which is the point ive been making for a while. Football is not as competitive as it is once was. You can go to any other league and walk to a title.

    Yeah but that's all he'll win. They're too shit to win the CL as they're the only hard games they play all season so the quality jump catches them off guard every time.

    Emery has won two of his last 11 away games and is still significantly outperforming last years record. Incredible.

    edit: Choudray goes studs in on a players chest and it's not a free kick but Maitland-Niles getting a booking for winning a shoulder to shoulder is madness. The game is fundamentally broken in a yellow card/red card system.

    And then N'Didi gets a yellow for something innocuous because the ref realises he cocked up the last one. Definite red card coming.

    Does it matter? He's won the World Cup.

    Why would you want your career to have peaked at the age of 19 when you could go on to become one of the best in the world?

    So? There are a lot of players who only won league titles during peak years and are still regarded as one of the best ever. You are being too critical. Neither Neymar or Mbappe will not be regarded as wasted talent.

    It's the sort of numpty thinking that leads to people saying Messi isn't all that because he hasn't won the World Cup. You can ignore them.

    Maybe he wants to win a champions league himself though. Crazy thought I know.

    On top of a red card I'm raging at I'm going to have to watch Mustafi get turned by Vardy over and over again.

    Not that I'm trying to build a conspiracy but are you allowed to play advantage and send the player off or is it a yellow card thing?

    They all do but only a selected view get the chance. Zlatan, Fabregas and Ronaldo all took part in the competition and all three couldn't get the job done. It takes away from their legacy but they are still legends and are part of the 1%.

    He might not care about that though and wants a champions league. He's easily good enough to join a club where he has a much better chance of winning one.

    What he did in the world cup signified him as one of the best in the world. You can't discount it because he has years ahead of him.

    Luis Suarez is the third highest Barcelona scorer of all time and will anyone remember him outside of being a footnote to La Masia graduates?

    Which he can do. There is still time. Henry was like 40 when he finally won the champions league.

    He can try and do it on his own at PSG and we can all see the team isnt good enough or ride the wave with another team who will give you a better chance.

    Our player sent off and their player subbed off at half time. Leicester has realised that this ref has absolutely no bottle.

    Look at this, literally every foul is a yellow card. This isn't how it's supposed to work.

    Is the match even relevant enough to be getting worked up over at this stage of the season?

    How are Sheffield Utd celebrating going up when Leeds can mathematically catch them on goal difference? Or are they doing that head to head thing too?

    Still though, Leeds not going up would be wonderful.

    I'd rather see us play Leeds twice a year than, say, Brighton and Hove Albion.

    Though it will be no great loss if they fail miserably, obviously.

    Have City failed to score in any fixture this season? I'm genuinely curious.

    edit: just remembered the 0:0 with Liverpool now that I stopped and thought about it nvm

    City. Missed handball in the Burnley box.

    Second half , city have been creating loads and Heaton has kept a couple out. First half, Burnley could have scored.
