Shola Activity

Always forget how fucking mental people are about transfers. Also big fan of the 'need signings in early brigade' are the exact same people as they complaining that they're team aren't pushing through last minute panic buys.

Did you manage to see it? Very, very good win. Ritchie was absolutely outstanding a true leader today. But they were all very good. Joselu and Merino in particular.

We are bad defensively tbf. Also note I said you would be complaining - not that I (or a reasonable person) would be. fwiw - I thought the Mounie one was a complete accident, Smith should have probably been booker - as that could have been very nasty if...

Warching the goal again - and it was really awful - incredibly unorganised. Huddersfield only really have two men above the ball - both CB's have then went super wide - so we have four defenders marking two forwards - Ince (?) Then has a massive gap...

We're also bad defensively as well tbf - Huddersfield are just shite going forward. Not blaming the ref but let's not pretend you wouldn't have demanded Kachunga, Smith and Mounie all should have bent sent off. You're keeper is an ab...

It's because of the excuses - we won't learn. Last week became all about Shelvey - and the underlying questions weren't even contemplated - today it seems to be all about blaming the ref. Rather than what is Benitez' actual hope for...

Is Draxler actually good? - Seems to be a FIFA type player - if you get what I mean - I'm sure there's loads of lads on Twitter with names likes Draxlerology and ManLikeDraxler - but his career seemed to stall in a big way. - Lacazette I reckon...

Because they've sold Lukaku and should still get reasonably big money for Barkley? - In fact if they get £35 for Barkley they will have a zero spend. Although I've just seen Everton have signed Jose Baxter - that is surprising

Once we bring in Joselu and Kenedy - I think only Man Utd, Man City, Watford, Leicester and Huddersfield will have spent more than us net. I think we spent something like 4th most in the world in 15/16 as well.

Main worry is I can't see where any goals are going to come from; Our tactics seem to rely on Dwight Gayle being Didier Drogba Matt Ritchie isn't really an effective outlet, Atsu (who was great today) - still didn't really have any end pr...

He was mostly shite in the Championship tbf. Doesn't even try like 30% of the time. Arsehole believes he deserves to be in the England squad - and seemingly wasn't really punished for being banned for racism last year.

It felt harder because we were no where near as good. - And yeah Ashley doing a business deal is hardly comparable to effectively giving away money to a football club. I have no sympathy for the sell to buy - it's mostly been Benitez' fault -...

I think Benitez has really overplayed the challenge. - He's a miracle worker for scraping the Championship - Hughton who was forced to sell 10x what he signed - won after a 100 point season. The next year the club finished 12th with terrible manage...

Fucking hope Benitez leaves. Sick of him. - Constantly whingeing. He's made it clear he's bigger than the club. He's been playing Newcastle since Day 1. Fuck him.

I remember looking at Riviere's goal record before he signed and though it didn't look very good - I think most of his goals came at Ligue 2 and he'd never really done it in the top flight. But yeah Manquillo, Atsu and Joselu are all cle...

That lad who got knocked out with his head on the Union Jack pillow giving Tommy Robinson his photo opp probably didn't (And all the others who ran away)

If you ever want a giggle - its always good to look at fans reactions to shite signings. Riviere was a brilliant addition just three short years ago Also when does a shite player stop being a 'squad competition' and a 'solid backup'...

Makes absolutely no sense to me why we release Anita and spend £4.5m on a replacement who is probably worse. - I haven't seen enough of him - but he's pretty much universally panned at Sunderland, Anyway fair play to the Chronicle - Lejeu...

Yeah, PL football can fuck off - let's just get these lads together and have a class game of fives. Although I think Ronaldinho could do with better team mates than Denilson and Seoul - Also not sure if Nakata is quite on the level of Henry and To...

Think the Premier League should be suspended until the transfer market stops being ridiculous. A possible £22m combined on Jacob Murphy and Christian Atsu - is mind boggling. Let's sign Pablo Aimar, Ariel Ortega and Alvaro Recoba and have a ni...

James Vaughan player for Everton - it's inevitable he'll go to Sunderland

I saw him play once for the reserves and thought he looked hopeless.

Like, maybe at least have the kid wear the Chelsea shirt?

Sunderland are absolutely miles bigger.

Ah right - that makes a lot more sense.

Yep, that's brilliant - but a bit weird you have to give a further £26 for giving to charity

This election confirms what I've been saying for years Scots = Tories.

Well you're supposed to vote for your local candidate. And from what I can gather ordinary working class Labour voters, who now find it 'impossible' to vote Labour are all rich as fuck. (And found time to sneer at the poor who felt the par...

Yep no linked with Caballero. Why are some managers obsessed with shite goalkeepers? Benitez seems to want GK's who are short, unsuited to the English game, and not particularly good anyway. Might as well keep Selz. Robbie Elliot is our best player...

Pepe Reina staying in Naples. Finally some good news.

Marco Silva could do better imo. Zabaleta to West Ham to replace Arbeloa. Most West Ham signing ever tbf, Man City will be unstoppable if they sign Kyle Walker.

Does Theresa May know you're supposed to lie in the run up to the election? Fair play for her honesty in just how terrible everything will be for everyone.

Benitez is manager now - so literally no one cares any more.

Newcastle have won the League though. Forest are awful for other reasons

Blackburn deserve this for once chanting 'stand up if you've won the League'

My town chucked out Labour and elected 3 independents - just took a bit of organisation. Anyway I know local elections don't correlate with generals but some reasonably surprising places voted Tory - and they were only stopped from having overall c...

Hated / Adored / But never ignored.

Derby County's points tally; we're coming for you And yeah Fulham easily the best team in the division.

btw mental how mental some of the 'London Elites' are saying Tories will clean up in the North after UKIP's implosion. Many people would rather die than vote Tory in the North

Hope Newcastle buy Falcao

David Milliband works with refugees ffs. Better chance of electing a nonce.

Worrying that that's the best we've played all season by a mile and we can't even beat a shite Leeds side. Isaac Hayden genuinely looked good last night. Mitrovic was good as well, he's a much better option than Gayle imo. But Jesus...

https://audioboom.com/posts/5816880-blaydon-races Cringe.

I see Notts County taken the same number of points since Shola signed for them than before he signed for them. He's been there since February....

That's mostly irrelevant - it's obvious the Burton player is favourite for the ball and Whitehead has jumped into him anyway. - He looks like he's caught him with his shoulder and looks like he has tried to generate power in doing so. - A...

Can't believe Whitehead got a second booking for clattering someone off the ball.

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/incredible-story-newcastle-trying-sign-12813690 A good read on the Scweinsteiger to Newcastle story. Still can't get my head around what they we're trying to do. Seriously Llambias a...

Bloody Ritchie going down after someone stood on his ankle. Especially with Kachunga's totally natural fall in the same game......

Hughton did a hell of a lot better with £50m less....... And Clement, Silva, Allardyce, Advocaat, Di Canio, Poyet, Pardew, Shakespeare have all seemed to make at least some sort of impact a lot quicker.... Nah Shelvey is absolute poison. Abso...

Yesterday felt like Benitez in a nutshell. It was a year since he took over (and lost) - The announcer played 'La Bamba' before kick off, while some cunt with a microphone instructed us to 'Make some noise for Rafa' - And the Chronicl...
