First ten minutes or so was fucking class. Won’t find it better than that anywhere, celebrations where I was in the corner were crazy as well. Thought it was okay after that, red card actually hindered the atmosphere as it was if the crowd expected us to batter them from there but that obviously didn’t happen. Some loud chants towards full time to get the team over the line.

That's management-speak for 'Please just get me the fuck out of here and be done with it' Pressured into taking the job earlier than he wanted by a leadership team who openly courted new managers this time last year only to see ten Hag win a Cup so they backtracked furiously, gave him a new contract only to sack him anyway a few months later. That club is a fucking circus and it doesn't surprise me one bit he's making noises himself about getting sacked and moving on. He knows he's made a huge mistake going into that shambles and wants to protect his reputation before it gets even worse in the next 12 months. Can't blame him but it's very very transparent at this stage

Whether you think it was mind games or not. He missed the game at Anfield with a groin problem and has had them in the past. Don’t think it’s a coincidence, personally.

We love you Newcastle we do .. without the “you” from the strawberry corner still winds me up more than it should

He was warming up in front of my seat against Brentford, he was being watched by the medical team and he it was clear to see he wasn't running comfortably. Looks like a hip injury to me.

Not getting 5th on 69p is quite shocking, and quite likely. Can end up with 4-5teams on 69 points lol.

First half was very good. Whilst the corner do their bit I think sometimes when the lads need it the wider gallowgate end are generating the noise. Wish the same could be said about the Leazes - we need a standing section there and then the ground would be bouncing

Exactly. None of this holier than thou shite. We boo most of our ex-players. Not saying I or posters on here always join in every time. But I can genuinely see why they would be fucked off. I know a fair few Liverpool fans who are dead sound and actual family links or Scousers. They’ve said from early on of the 3, he is the one they think will go and the one they can more afford to lose. Huge loss IMO and they have a fair few that need upgrading next season. Interested to see how they go.

Your striker has looked directly at Botman and then aimed an elbow directly at Botman's face. Also, I don't think the VAR monitor has an audio output? You hotel selling nonce.

Fair enough but I think Isak, and strikers in general see a huge difference between scoring pens and scoring goals from open play.

He very rarely goes 2 games without scoring, place your bets for next week now

He clearly tweaked something when he attempted that twisting behind him finish towalds the end of the final and hasn't been right since that moment.

He scored last week. And the week before.

Same view as last week for me. Send him to a top Championship team, let him get 40 starts under his belt and get used to being one of the best players on the pitch. When he comes back, look to push for a role in the team. Get a loan/free to cover as 4-5th choice CM while he's away.

This often seems to be the case on TNT coverage, they must be messing with the sound levels to some degree as I've been to games where the atmosphere has been great and then when I watch the highlights it sounds nowhere near as loud

You talk a load of sense.

Boo fuckin Hoo.

The post saying "but they've spent £400m". Brighton spent £250m just last summer alone.

What do you want a football forum to be? Just parroting what the manager says? Howe is never going to criticise a player and will always praise them and rightfully so. We can have our own opinions. Personally, to me it looks like Miley is lacking a bit of confidence. He hides a bit and especially when he first came on, was just always in a position where he was never going to receive it. He clearly has a chance of being a class player for us in the future though.

All of which were borderline yellows if I recall correctly

Aye, think he’s pulled almost every trick so far. Could see him throw the final as a way of getting out

Amorim is desperate to be sacked

I think Chalobah too, left it one Barnes and someone else and nout.

Might be injuries, but the guy is also not as ice cold as many people here like to think I believe. Both in Sweden and Real Sociedad, and even here he seem to struggle with demons in his head a lot when he havn't scored in a while.

Was the sound turned down on the tv? Seem a few mentions that it was quiet, it was really pretty loud on the whole. East Stand nearest Gallowgate joined in and the Leazes started a few when the Gallowgate was quiet. For a noon kickoff it was really good.
