It's not really a fashion. The two best players of all time play on the 'wrong side', as you put it.

Think you got mistaken McNeil plays on the right.

I also think that probably should have been a red. Carroll is a tit.

He is a nasty ******* who shouldn't be on any football pitch. One day, he'll break someone's neck!

Does Saint-Maximin remind you of the school yard kid who, when receiving the ball, always wants to show you one of his tricks?

How much do they say Declan Rice is worth, £2.59?

A packet of Uncle Bens Rice is worth more !

I'm not sure exactly, but it is possible to buy him with contactless payment.

1-0 to Newcastle. Callum Wilson scores on his debut.

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Sat Sep 12, 2020 9:26 pm

It's a good job there aren't any fans in the ground or there might be another pitch invasion, West Ham are appalling.

Moyes, first PL manager to get the sack?

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Sep 12, 2020 9:34 pm

Having a decent game is Jeff.

Ritchie defo right tho

Ritchie is left footed, often played left back or left wing back last season.

dermotdermot · Post by **dermotdermot** » Sat Sep 12, 2020 9:40 pm

I wonder how the Wilsons will adapt to Newcastle.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Sep 12, 2020 9:46 pm

Great goal, Jeff.

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Sat Sep 12, 2020 9:47 pm

Westwood is at least as good as Rice, I just don't get how he is supposed to be an England player.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sat Sep 12, 2020 9:47 pm

Great goal, and an assist, if only we could have kept him.

At least the Geordies who were underwhelmed by his signing now know they got a good one.

That doesn’t exactly fill me with glee. We could have done with him staying.

Yep.
I definitely wanted him to stay.
He played well in our system. Never understood the crap he got from some on here.

You’re right, don’t know why I thought he was right footed

Boss Hogg · Post by **Boss Hogg** » Sat Sep 12, 2020 10:11 pm

West Ham poor and looks like a continuation of last season. Glad I put a bet on last week for them to get relegated.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Sep 12, 2020 10:13 pm

Good debut for Jeff, a goal and an assist, you can definitely say he impacted on the match.

I was one of those who would have liked to have kept him, he was invaluable to us, mainly due to his versatility, but he choose to pursue a different path, so we need to move on.

If Hendrick is playing out wide for Newcastle, he probably won’t get as much game time as he did here. Aren’t both Fraser and Ritchie right wingers?

I think they are looking to move Ritchie on

Did you really think they were poor? I didn't think they were anywhere near that good.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sat Sep 12, 2020 10:28 pm

Just seen West Ham's next six games. Jesus, I can't see them getting one point from them!

Even if they up their game twofold, I can't see it either.
That was a genuine shocker from them tonight.
Doesn't look a happy place to be just now. Tarks take note...

Chelsea haven't got any good defenders. They conceded 54 goals last season.

They’ve a few good uns. Get a solid keeper and they’ll do far better. Chalk 10 off that total this season and they’ll be up there challenging.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Sep 12, 2020 11:08 pm

That's another five million on their next bid for Tarks.

Just watched MOtD and think Leeds looked impressive but more so Newcastle with their new player Jeff Hendrick, where did they get him from?

Well, it's not bad, is it?
Unbeaten.
No goals conceded.
Top half position.

Fab start.

You forgot to mention both Blackburn & Bolton lost

Also wins for Accy & Fleetwood.

5 pages and nobody mentioned that Man Utd played Villa, looks like they really needed that extra rest after all.

A pre-season friendly is not a competitive game. Are you suggesting that Man Utd’s players should all be sat at home with their feet up until next weekend?

firstclaret · Post by **firstclaret** » Sun Sep 13, 2020 4:33 pm

Game should have gone ahead, most Man Utd players played international fixtures last weekend.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Sep 13, 2020 5:13 pm

0-0 at Spurs nearing HT, a clean sheet so far for Keane and Pickford, the latter is playing well it has to be said.

How's the James fella doing? Or should that be Hames.
