I enjoyed the stat @JRs_Cigarette mentioned to me and I've since seen on Twitter - Burnley have been in the relegation zone since the 4th minute of PL opening night and never left.
Newcastle have just fielded a bunch of kids in a friendly against an A-League All-Stars side in Melbourne and lost 8-0. Have our pre-season plans been announced yet?
I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this, but the A-League is absolute dogshit. And as it’s the grand final this weekend, that team wouldn’t even have included anyone from two of the best sides (who are the Melbourne Dogfuckers and Something Misc Something).
Those kids that Newcastle picked.. were they their U21’s, or a bunch of raffle winners from a primary school in Gateshead? The result is quite embarrassing unless it was the latter.
Paulsen, the Phoenix keeper, is pretty decent, and entertainingly mental, although nowhere near Champo standard.
Wootton is ordinary even at this level.
