Were I not on my phone I'd reply with a photo of Eden Hazard laughing.

Newcastle's kits this year are a disaster. Can't read the numbers.
Decent enough performance from Newcastle this weekend. Won't get too excited as the goals came either from terrible giveaways or from complete WH defensive collapse. Hopefully this give Mitro some confidence however.
Need another 2 first team players before the window closes but that's wishful thinking. Really wouldn't mind Praet...
Part of me hopes West Ham bombs against Huddersfield and they go hard after Benitez.
I think he'd make the move. Supposedly, he feels indebted after pulling out of the job at the 25th hour when Real Madrid came by and clearly there's been some tension at Newcastle.
There's more than tension at Newcastle- Ashley wants Benitez out. It's just he doesn't want to pay £5 million to get rid of him. (Incidentally why strange things occur when I type a pound sign I cannot explain. Some hangover from Brexit, perhaps).
Apparently, it would cost £6 million for another club to release Benitez from his contract. Ashley would jump at that money, because he can always pull a ****-stained, middle-aged Englishman devoid of credibility out of a skip to fill the manager's role.
The thing is, West Ham's ownership is scare better than Newcastle's. Why would Benitez go through so much hassle to possibly shift from frying pan to fire?
A better fit for Benitez- purely in the short term, you understand - might be Palace. He could even have an emotional reunion with Andros Townsend.
I'm not sure I agree that West Ham ownership is a fair comparison to Mike Ashley. I've got my issues with the Davids to be sure (namely, they have an awful case of foot in mouth disease and a magnetic attraction to microphones, which is a terrible combination), but they've supported Bilic in the transfer market (perhaps not enough, but far more than Benitez has gotten) and they've stood by him when he could have easily been canned at the end of the last campaign, or even last weekend.
I'm intrigued- which two positions?
I'd like four (which I appreciate is as likely as forty-four): keeper, left back, creative midfieldy / forwardy type person, striker.
And if they can't move Colback, I'm all for him being lowered into a vat of boiling oil.
