A 20 minute Bertie cameo against his former club incoming.

He’ll fall over the ball a couple of times, play stray passes continuously but then dribble past two players and smash it in the goal from 25 yards to get us the winner! That’s our boy

We’re playing some lovely stuff at times and really holding our own. Just need to be more clinical in the final third.

Cash has done this time and time again and almost the same as the Kane challenge last season. Needs to cut it out of his game. 

May have been mentioned on here already but we followed the “Phil Vickery” cooking of the Turkey for the first time today and it was so easy, and faultless. Basically steaming your Turkey and roasting the skin towards the end. Brilliant stuff and highly recommend

Party food. Now I like my food and am quite a big fella but one thing bugs me…

Why is it if I make/cook party food or do a buffet, I don’t feel like eating any of it but if I go somewhere, I can literally eat the whole table? Annoying.

Looks like games will carry on for now if both teams have 13 fit players plus a goalkeeper available.

Looks like this is now likely to go ahead if both teams have 13 fit players plus a goalkeeper available.

Just watching Robin of Sherwood on ITV4. Still an enjoyable watch after all these years and a young Ray Winstone in it. Enya soundtrack throughout. What’s not to like.

Any reason we have no press conference today?

Think it’s due to start anytime around now. We should hear/see something within the hour hopefully. 

1 win in 17 games is awful really but when you look at the other bottom 2/3/4 teams they’re just as bad, which means Newcastle are still in touching distance of them.

January is going to be such an interesting watch. My gut feeling is that they won’t go all ridiculous with spending and we’ll likely see some very expensive loans.

By the way @ferguson1 I hadn't realised a 2nd series just came out, so can't comment on that.

Cheers mate, it’s seeing that second series  listed for TV this weekend that got me interested.  Think I’ll find the first series then and give it a go.

I think our whole spine is crucial.

Martinez-Konsa-McGinn-Watkins

Any of those missing is problematic.

Yes it is, but we just don’t have an adequate back up to Martinez right now. Steer just doesn’t carry the same confidence and quality.

He’s without doubt our most important and biggest asset in the squad right now. Such an influence to the rest of the squad.

Alex Rider - TV series. Apologies if talk of this has already been posted but has anyone watched any and is it any good?

Finished work now until 30 December, thank goodness. Whatever happens over the next week or so with Covid/restrictions etc, I’m going to make the best of it.

Who was that young DM everyone was certain we were in for over the summer?  His name is escaping me now.  

Ahhhh yessss...  Papa Sarr.  TRUST THE VENN DIAGRAM 

 

Maybe we go back in for him now that Nakamba is on the shelf?

If we ever were interested, we missed out. Signed for Spurs in the summer but on loan at Metz.

I wouldn't play Ings and Watkins in the same team. 

Neither would I.

I just fell asleep at the very thought that Brighton are playing Wolves tonight.

Has 0-0 feel about it all day long. Total yawn.

watch it end up 4-4 or something now

Apart from scoring last night, Watkins was generally poor in that game as many said in the various threads.  Ings got 30 minutes under his belt last night after injury to get some fitness and you can tell from Gerrard’s comments he rates him very highly, so Ings won’t be Watkins back up, he’ll be on rotation with Watkins and whoever deserves the shirt will play.

No issue at all with rotation, I just don’t want to see Watkins and Ings on the pitch together at the same time. I really think it weakens us.

Let’s hope they have a real tough game this evening and get a few knocks. Ben Mee missing at the weekend would be good.

He just doesn’t look right when pushed out wide and it makes us totally disjointed as a team. He has to be the man to come off if we bring Ings on.

Big difference is he now looks fit compared to earlier in the season. He’s a very solid and dependable full back, just not a wing back.

Lovely cameo of what he’s all about when he came on. Close control, crisp passing and a maturity to use the football well.

My only concern was the way Gabby pronounced his name last night post match? Did anyone else hear it? I had to cover my kids ears
