Ill put it in simpler terms for you if it helps. ive never used Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and all the other sites most other people use to get an ego boost.

How do you know people use them to get an ego boost?

Palace gave it a good go. Leaves Leeds within reach now with some difficult fixtures ahead. The picture is looking a lot rosier than a couple of weeks ago.

Rileybobs

Mateta has been poor leading the line.

Rileybobs

Fully expecting a Leeds win. Anything else is a bonus.

I always remember when he did ‘team of the week’ with Granada some years back showing local Sunday league football teams.

That was a good laugh!

Rileybobs

Too true. One poster tried saying he believed those wanting Dyche gone were "Blackburn fans". Any time this season any one questioned Dyche there was a select group on here ready to ram it down there throats. The lack of ambition from these people would have seen us slide into the championship with...

Like I say, they’re on general sale from the official website and presumably the ticket office.

They’re on general sale.

What happened to the ice cream puns?

Rileybobs

Didn’t think he was great today. But he seemed over the moon with the assist, which was very well picked out, and that shows the character of the guy - he’s a team player. Goals will come as we learn to play to his strengths, but he’s been a great addition to the team.

Rileybobs

Of course Tarkowski is committed to the club. How can anyone watch his performances and think otherwise. I had a bit of a wobble during the Soton away game where his silly Cruyff turn cost us a goal, but since then he’s been practically flawless. And at no time should we ever have considered droppin...

Rileybobs

Caused Liverpool problems today. Looks like a good player, but needs to cut out the cheating.

Rileybobs

Surprised with the low marks. Thought he reffed the game pretty well despite a few minor errors. Let the game flow and didn’t fall for players dropping to the ground when touched. I’d much rather have that every week than some of the sh!te we get.

Rileybobs

Great to see and comes across as a really top lad. He was outstanding today as well, particularly in the second half.

Rileybobs

Looks a new player. I’d back him to score between now and the end of the season.

Rileybobs

Have a think about it…

Rileybobs

They had one main chance from open play which was a cross from their left, over Tarkowski’s head and Adams hit it on the volley straight at Pope who tipped it over. Yeah, that and the Taylor block were the two I can remember - and we were two up at the time. Thought we contained them really well, p...

I’m not sure that’s true.

I thought they created next to nothing from open play, but may be forgetting some chances.

Surely the only thing to do is to award the game to Salford, 1-2, because that was the score when it was
abandoned.

Surely the fairest outcome all round.

The front is bad enough but if you dare go to the streets beyond the front it’s 10 times worse.

Went there for work a couple of years ago, not been for about 20 years. Couldn’t believe how bad the area behind the front was.

Rileybobs

Thing is, if we win, not only do we climb out of the bottom three, but we go to over 30 points Two big psychological hurdles passed True that. A win would really put safety within realistic sight. Those points looked hugely unachievable a few weeks back but we’ve hit some good form, despite a shock...

No business on our side , and there's me thinking we got Wort . Not great business by them even though they're now 9th . Selling Wood wasn’t ‘business’ on our part as we had no choice in the matter. Signing Wout isn’t relevant to the discussion. I don’t think that it’s good business for Newcastle a...

Rileybobs

We’ve got to go for the win, but draws are still very valuable given our current position so it really wouldn’t be a bad result. Getting out of the bottom three, even briefly, would be nice.

Rileybobs

Point being they tried to ‘reinvest’ the money in January and CT believed the deal was done, only for the next day the plug was seemingly pulled (Orsic). Agree that debt needs servicing and perhaps some % of fees received from player sales will be used to pay off the principal too. But also ALK wil...

Rileybobs

It wasn’t good business on both sides because there was no business on our side. It doesn’t look like great business for Newcastle, but then again they’ve got unlimited wealth so it doesn’t matter a jot to them.

Rileybobs

So just to clarify, you’ve got inside info on the clubs account / bank to knowing where that money is? I’ll admit I don’t, but I can just go off the fact they had a close to £10m deal done for Orsic which Zagreb pulled the plug on at the last minute, not the clubs fault. That suggests to me they WE...

Rileybobs

You are missing the point. The point was someone complaining that his ‘gems’ were not accepted as genuine - I merely pointed out academia to demonstrate even qualified experts rely on sources to quantify their arguments, to validate their claims. Some poster will claim anything is from ‘inside’, ot...

Rileybobs

No its no different to Tittle-tattle, unless the poster can be identified as having credible sources (in their own right) in the first place. Then everything you say is expected to be ‘gospel’ or you get a backlash. Not if the poster is proven to be credible. Tony doesn’t share his sources when he ...

Rileybobs

I suggest you never attempt writing an academic paper if that is the case. People can say anything the like, they don’t need to use sources; but they shouldn’t then complain if posters chose not to take them seriously. “I’ve heard” is about as reliable as ‘appearently’ its why serious books have re...

Why not just bring the kick off time 10 minutes forward to accommodate that break

Sky Sports.

Rileybobs

Do just want to put a word in for Westwood here. Its quite clear (well to me anyway) that the litle dinks and blind balls were how he was instructed to play. Ash is a much better passer of the ball IMHO and I think could of done very well in the last two games, of course that's something we'll neve...

Raised the St George’s flag this morning, it’s flying high and proud in the front garden. And if that offends anyone I don’t care.

Rileybobs

In fairness we completely stopped Southampton from open play. They only posed a threat from set pieces. It was also very impressive how we completely killed the game from about the 80th minute.

Rileybobs

Maybe there was a legitimate reason for the timing of the break but it seemed a little strange with it being very close to ht. Muslims break fast at a specific time each day in relation to when the sun sets. Sure, this was close to half time. But what is the cut off point? 10 minutes, 20 minutes? I...

Rileybobs

Oh FFS, here we go…

Rileybobs

Popes been on top form for a few months now. Loving the freedom he’s been given to play out from the back. I didn’t have a lot of criticisms I could aim at Dyche but I always questioned why he would give our worst passer of a ball the responsibility to make the most passes in the team. It was a joy ...

I simply believe Simon Jordan over the club, I hope & trust that’s sufficient, good evening.

Good evening. I know, you seem to have a bit of a thing going with Jordan. Kinda odd.

I’m sure the extra 5m acted as a workaround! Nice try

If Newcastle paid more than the release clause then they didn’t trigger it did they.

Rileybobs

Nobody from the club or Sean dyche did lie, the release clause was activated the only bit which was conveniently omitted was that the release clause didn’t apply until the summer, it’s naughty but in fairness that direct question wasn’t pressed. :lol: How can a release clause be activated if it doe...

How the hell has Fernandes not seen red for that?

Rileybobs

Who cares about these slight fluctuations of odds? It means absolutely nothing.

Rileybobs

Great finish.

Edit - Deflection, not as neat a chip as I thought.

Rileybobs

The issues at MU clearly go much higher than the manager. The club has no identity or apparent strategy. A new manager won’t make any difference.

Rashford is absolutely abysmal. Hasn’t had a good game for about five years.

Certainly not turned into the player he showed promise of. And how poor has Sancho been since joining MU.

Man Utd not even trying. What a shambles.

Great goal

I fully expect them to beat Leicester, Watford, Brentford and Crystal Palace.

Which they may do. But on the evidence available this season there’s absolutely nothing to suggest that they will.

Rileybobs

We’ve missed a trick really. With Mike Jackson stepping up there is a vacancy for the U23 coach which Dyche would have been ideal for.

Rileybobs

i think you've put it more accurately than I did. How about backroom staff coming in, will he leave all that to a new manager? I’m not sure about other Premier League clubs but I suspect very few of the managers have the final say in transfer business. As for backroom staff, I would expect a new ma...
