With CL winner Chilwell on the bench (normally) There's class all the way through the squad. Southgate just doesn't know how to use it.

We have got a much better team than Bruce makes us, but I'd argue any team playing Shelvey, Hayden, Longstaff and Hendrick in midfield is going to struggle to get 10th. Anyway, back on subject, I'm actually quite excited about tonight, think we'll play much better and win 2-0.

Which is because of the manager, not the players imo

He'll just have to stand in the area and get 27 chances a match. He's an absolutely world class finisher and that's all he'll need to do at City.

Bruce then

Either £0 or £25m depending on what you believe.

Meanwhile, in Newcastle:

So what's this thread now? Maybe it's time to merge them..

Good one.

Give us some early team news for next season otherwise I won't believe you.

Just turned it on. Her accent is dreadful

Imagine Joelinton attempting that

First Day: Norwich (a) Boxing Day: Southampton (a) Last Day: Spurs (a)

Christ, hope not.

Great to be watching football back in crowds again. The reaction when Foden's shot came back off the post too; I've missed that.

Any other country picks their Champions League winning fullbacks. That’s my only complaint today. Both fullbacks were poor, both defensively and going forward. Bizarre choice picking Trippier.

I feel sick still thinking about tonight. A couple of years ago a close family friend had a heart attack and died during a business meeting. I still miss his hug, his laugh, his presence. Tonight was hard. I cried during the footage, I still cry now. I don’t think I’ll sleep tonight.

I mean, with everything that's happened so far, can you see anything other than this happening?

Christ no, I generally agree with most things @Fantail Breeze and @Joey Linton say so doubt I'd ever be allowed in a forum clique Unless of course, that makes us the clique?

Villa buying all the midfielders?

2015 we were linked with him.

Ayew is such a Sunderland signing.

I'm completely of the opposite opinion. The PL are protecting the "big 6" and approving our takeover doesn't do that.

Heard a little rumour this morning that Sancho is joining Man United after the euro's
