I went for a Stone Roses gig and got out easy enough.

Bit of a trek back into the city centre after a few beers though……..(well seemed like it anyway).

Lampard says everything is going against Chelsea. £550 million spent in one season and he complains.

That’s probably more than CCFC’s transfer expenditure across its entire history.

550m but none of them are even guaranteed starters.

No surprise to see Saka ghosting again last night. Most overrated player since Gerrard.

Man City were superb, Grealish is world class

You’d have to be a very special level of moron to have thought he wasn’t going to.

No it isn't particularly but they've got the same bunch of day tripper fans as they criticise United for

BT Sport have been banging on for hours before the game about how things are going to change now for Spurs and they're losing inside 10 minutes

the sense of entitlement is off the scale

I like it when they act like Kane is way above it and not part of the problem.

Picked Isak didn't I. Didn't come on until 75 minutes. Also had Jota who came off just after half time yesterday.

Double shit. Also have De Gea and Shaw as well. Just flapped a goal to Spurs.

This FPL is doing my head in.

Really surprised Newcastle blew so much on Anthony Gordon when they could have got Maddison for similar money. Might still go in for him if Lesta go down

He's only just started performing. Now he has a team of superstars around him.

He was massively overrated in his time here.

He was. He was the worst player on the pitch in 20/25 games that season. He was amazing when he played well, but it was so much more infrequent than what many people think. A lot of his goal contributions came in the same games. He constantly went missing and was the stand out shocker in the mogga post-christmas collapse.

This is the first time people are piping up about him. Coincidently now he's in team Hollywood/Riyadh. Up until now he's done fuck all at Newcastle and even the fans had had enough of him.

Spurs come back from 2 0 down against united and the fans celebrations are incredibly underwhelming to say the least.

Murphy was underrated, if anything, not overrated when he was here.

19 goal contributions in 2700 minutes is decent

Even though I quite like Southampton I'd take the bottom three as it stands. Leicester and Everton to go down. If Southampton could go on some incredible run and drop Leeds into it as well even better, but you can't have everything.

I was there on the Saturday (I think).

Generally not a fan of stadium gigs, but that was a quality show.

Walk back to Canal street wasn't that bad as I recall.

I’ve asterisked the particular nonsense, especially when other favourite loanees did a tragic disappearing act in the very same season. Also many Cov fans have had his back since he’s left, there’s a good few on here.

Worst player on the pitch is just laughable.

He was the worst player on the pitch for a huge amount of games in that season. I invite you to go back through the 15/16 season and watch them all again. He was one of the biggest culprits that were playing terribly during our slump, ambling around the pitch and not contributing whatsoever. One goal and two assists between december and mid-april. Mowbray should have managed him better and it was 'coincidently' once he was finally dropped that we actually started winning games again at the end of the season.

That doesn't mean he wasn't good at certain points, and it doesn't mean other players weren't also crap at periods either. Our fans have very short memories.

If you're going to use emotive language then at least come up with some genuine counter arguments. You haven't said anything meaningful to debunk what I've said at all, and certainly nothing factual.

So you could say it’s more of a Mowbray problem. The team suffered with the signing of Joe Cole. Maddison, Fleck, Armstrong all took their foot off.
