Maybe Cannon isn't very good at travelling on coaches? To be fair, I've driven to just outside Plymouth from Newcastle in one go, and wouldn't fancy myself to implement Ze System at the end of it... Enzo Maresca: Leicester City boss worried for health of players ahead of Plymouth trip

Two delightful assists from one I. Slimani as well...

In mitigation, we are forgetting that Bodgers managed to ask him to play at right back for half of every game...

Up here in Geordieland they have the True Faith podcast. How about Ture Faith?...

I watched this one in a pub in Nottingham wearing a City shirt, and it was so bad even a Florist fan bought me a pint when we went down. Now living in Newcastle, I fastidiously avoided watching last night, only to bump into Eddie Howe's lad at school today. He didn't buy me a pint: I teach, he...

Anybody else feel a bit sick about this one?

I reckon Michael Sheen to do a team talk might not be a bad idea. But only once we've tried and failed to call Savage. Did you know that he missed a phone call once?...

I lived with a Spuds fan at the time, and there was a good 10 days of mockery. And then he was in the pub (in Nottingham) with me when we got relegated to L1. I felt dreadful.

That no-look pass gets me every time. Ooosh.

I have to admit to putting some money on Diego Costa getting him sent off yesterday. You can all thank me for the final result...

Newport's going to be a tough game if they're above them in the table

This could be a genuine tactical masterstroke if our front three outgas their back three. If we ever a) get the ball and b) put it forward... Soumare needs to go and play fetch, big time. (As it's Brendan, I suspect it's a last roll of the dice though...)

Anybody considering going as Tommy Cooper tonight? It'd fulfil the double role of welcoming our poorly pronounced new signing, and warm-up comedy act for the football to follow... If only certain players/managers would disappear just like that...

It was the Lady Owl's birthday, so I kept well away from football tonight. Did put a number of bets on Liverpool though, so you're all welcome.
