    He's taken Foden off for Ake when in desperate need of a goal too.

    4 wins in 20 for Mr Potter. 3 of them at home to Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Zagreb. The other was away to Salzburg. If he loses to Spurs next week there’s surely no way back for him (if he even lasts until then)

    Well that's Leeds in the relegation zone, and I don't see us getting out again.

    If you're having to justify it to yourself one way or the other then the thing is probably already either a bit tarnished in your mind or you realise you don't care. I've no idea if, when the news is announced, I'll think "nah I'm done." I might, but if I do I might then decide I miss watching the team enough to rationalise it per the above a bit further down the line. But other than either of the extremes (everything is acceptable because we might win x% more matches per year / everybody involved is now automatically evil) there's really not a right or a wrong way to feel about it.

    I personally find the line of "it's My Team therefore I care less about what they may be contributing to, not more" line of thinking a bit "la la la, I'm not listening" but ultimately these things are going to happen so why get exercised about it? If it'll make the average fan happier to still pretend everything is hunky dory then crack on.
    Saw a decent amount last night who were very happy that we're about be bought by a petro state. Personally, i find it absolutely shit and I have no intention to go cock end balls out defending them.

    Also Dundee United second goal conceded after a lovely curler to equalise 30 seconds before is proper modern football. Keeper plays to centre back, back to goal, back to the keeper who gets tackled into the goal. Just get rid you daft bastard.

    That’s exactly what I thought. The commentators were having a wank over it, but it looked - at first glance - like a bad touch that came off himself.

    We are going to bum Newcastle ffs.

    I asked sean for his thoughts and he said he isn't worried because The Game is Gone anyway. We might be wise to ignore the people who think football is about football and know nothing about football.

    Just back from watching Southend quite possibly for the last time. 10 winding up petitions in 8 years, but after Covid and relegation out of the Football League this one feels terminal to be honest.

    The debt is "only" £1.4 million as well. Peanuts in the football world.

    Fuck sake.

    Liverpool only 6 points behind Newcastle with a game in hand. We’re gonna have City still walk to the title and Liverpool finish top 4.

    Strange game that one. Two very well worked goals then a braindead moment from Pope. Then we just seemed to stop bothering until about the 80th minute. Could have scored another 4 after that too.

    The front line is at last starting to click with the two new lads in it. Van Dijk didn't quite look ready for this game but was still a vast improvement on Matips recent outings.
    Fabinho still trying to find his feet I feel.

    Why can't Dubravka play next week? Is he cup tied?

    Absolute robbery at the Amex today. Ref was a total disgrace [although I think he got the major incident penalty claim correct] - had no control at all. Proper Potter era performance. Anyone who presses Brighton are absolute mongs. Fulham tried it for about 10 minutes and were cut to bits. If you just stand off them and keep 11 men in your half they're not nearly as good. Oh for a top class 9 and 10. What did Di Zerbi do after the game to get sent off? The massive Di Zerbi flag thing they have in the north stand is quality.

    Is there a different rule in England compared to Scotland with red cards? Someone got sent off in the Scottish cup last weekend and was fine to play the next game in the league.

    I just assumed it was Violent Conduct that counted for all competitions

    Actually this is wrong. You could have everyone below Newcastle draw every game with the top three losing every game and it would work I think.

    Just an incredible day. How the fuck we've ended up 3 pts off the top 4 I'll never know but the seethe from Brighton fans has made it even sweeter.

    Genuinely just assumed he'd be helping for a couple of games till I saw him in the suit, now I say give him the job full time.

    Only over options seems to be Lampard, Gerrard or Rooney.
