Should've scored early doors, but that aside was very good. Needs to be upfront playing on the shoulder of the last man.

Could've done with him today

Was probably our best defender, but also was a red card waiting to happen

I've wanted us to play a three at the back as I think it suits the players we have. But it honestly looked like they had never trained at all in that formation

For 60 minutes we were as bad as anything we have seen the last few years. Newcastle scored without doing anything. Gung Ho, more luck than judgement and we got a result. I notice like someone said before that he didn't leave the dug out til late to encourage the troops

I wish home games weren't on Telly but the away ones were

Does Jack have an alcohol problem? Come off it

Tommy wants promotion... Just one win in the first eight fixtures means Roberto Di Matteo’s team headed into Saturday’s game with Newcastle 18th in the table and Elphick concedes the slow start has left them playing catch-up in the promotion race. But the skipper sees plenty of reason for encouragement in an ever-improving atmosphere at Bodymoor Heath and believes the arrival of nine new players during the summer transfer window has left the club well placed to challenge. “I believe 100 per cent in the talent we have in the dressing room,” he said. “This place is now totally different to the one I walked into on the first day of pre-season .Promotion

Go out in most cities in the uk on a Saturday and you'll see footballers in bars

I agree that during their short careers a professional athlete shouldn't drink, but the sad fact is that the majority of footballers do. Therefore I think it wrong that Jack is being persecuted for this, wen it is the norm in football. Especially when no facts are known that Jack was drunk

Burnley striker Andre Gray has been suspended for four matches after being found guilty of misconduct in relation to comments he posted on social media. Gray, 25, had been charged by the Football Association for bringing the game into disrepute over homophobic posts he made on Twitter in 2012. Click Also on a different note Pullis 100th game in charge, his football may not be popular, but that is a good record to have.

It was always going to be cancelled again. Can't see him fighting again. Made his money now can't be arsed. Sure I read somewhere yesterday Joshua to fight his brother or was Bull shit as well?

Went to Turners at69 in Harbourne. A revamp of the Michelin starred Turners restaurant. Had a nice piece of Sirloin, duck fat chips followed by Chocolate Tarte. Alongside a turners Ipa. It was pretty good, if a little expensive. It's meant to be not so "high end" than Turners used to be (I never went so couldn't comment).

It's really lucky I read this thread was genuinely going to turn up for a 3 ko tomorrow. Thanks Bof

What style of play are Newcastle using now? Who are the key men? Can't say I've seen them this yr

The Farser Trilogy by Robin Hobb (again may be best as a tv series).

Different eras and different standards though

No it's not, they still have the "best fans in the world"

Why so against him?

Such a non story the article even says it's not thought Grealish took the gas

No he's a cm, played at rb as cover

Similar to the above I'm looking to join a gym again soon. Used to go years ago then stopped. Been doing martial arts for the last year, but injuries to my wrists (not because of that you dirty buggers ), have meant to couldn't throw punches anymore so had to stop. Got coursework on at the moment (which I've stupidly left until the last minute), so once that is all in, will join the local leisure centre so I not only have the gym, but also the swimming pool to use. Need to lose some weight for a wedding (now I'm single again) in December. Hopefully, previous injuries (wrists and knees) as well as back pain don't hinder me. (Yes I'm aware I sound like I'm falling apart).

Thought you liked yours more "Thai looking and acting"

The cameras are right next to the away so always seem louder. From the Holte, I actually thought the forest fans were crap and literally only made noise when they scored. Throughout the game they barely made a noise. Going off topic, but personally I feel it is up to the players to lift the crowd. Strong tackles (which I thought we'd see from Jedinak), shots, good chances etc. let's not forget the fans pay to be there and it is seen as a form of entertainment

Find it strange how he hasn't had a game yet
