I've got some personal stuff happening so I'm not around much at the moment. My SFA team has hardly seen me so if that's the case I'm even less chance to be seen around here.There are a few of us around, these are some I can think of :

For the playoff I was on a work conference in Fiji. Watched on my phone at stupid o'clock, think it was about 4am. Rocked up to breakfast in 1998 AST Computers Villa kit after we won promotion, it was awesome.This thread went quiet except for the odd post from a few of us who were still going through the pain of trying to get match feeds in the championship
I did have an away one (think it was AST computers) that was white with claret and blue, assume that was about 1998. Has Dublin on the back. Threw that out a couple of years ago though.For the playoff I was on a work conference in Fiji. Watched on my phone at stupid o'clock, think it was about 4am.

Was actually nice to hear Jose say we were one of his favourites to watch.Noticed a few Spurs supporters saying we shoud have to play the same side we used vs Liverpool, please...
Good to see we have them scared though

Don't stray into the broader expanses of bigfooty that often, thanks for the tag Royboy2, I had no Idea this thread was even here. I thought Smith looked pretty decent in our first season back in the prem until McGinn, Heaton & Wesley were injured in a series of weeks = at that stage it felt like we playing alright just weren't scoring enough goals. This season, I just can't believe how solid we look defensively even with Mings having his occasional brain farts.
Feel like Watkins isn't far away from finding his killer instinct but he's such a handful and good all-round player that he just leaves more space for Jack to do his thing, but it's our other wingers who seem to benefit from the space he creates with his clever movement. I didn't think AEG was ever going to be up to the Premiership because he just wasn't fast enough to make space for himself on the wings and good enough in tight areas for a more inside role. But I guess his natural acclimation to the pace of the competition as well as the extra space that Watkins has been making for him have allowed him to capitalise.
And what is with us looking like one of the FITTEST teams in the Prem? In the 25+ years I've been watching football, even when we've been up and around where we should be fitness is not something I've ever considered a strength of the team - hope the Covid cases doesn't cause a regression in that area.
Fitness has been something I've been screaming about for decades.
Looks like Shakespeare has had an impact there along with the other new member of the coaching staff whose name I forget.
Slightly disappointing to not bang another couple in but hey, we'll take it.Nice to see us stay in first gear and cruise to the most comfortable 2-0 win I can remember.
If we were not impacted by a 3-week training ground lockout I feel that would have been 5-6 goals our way instead. Geordies didn't create more than a fart in that game.
I don't miss Bruce ball.
