What is the fucking point? As soon as we let him go Pope will get injured and it will be Darlow-mania.

It sucks because he is a boyhood fan of this club but he's got no quality about him. If he didn't have his pace he'd never have made it as a professional.

What kind of performance/injuries do we need to get Maddison/Paqueta here?

They tried to make me go to West Ham and I said no, no, no.

Other club fans are funny.

It is weird how some players get injured all the time without anything fundamentally wrong with them, but someone like Demba Ba supposedly has a ticking time bomb in his knee and never got injured.

There were fans of other clubs who consoled themselves that they had 5 years on us and that we wouldn't be able to catch them up, or even more delusionally were clinging to the hope that this was a new false dawn.

Crow or surfer?

Who wants to sign for Newcastle?

BRING. HIM. HOME.

End of the day, if it doesn't work for us, it doesn't matter what he wants. Need to be ruthless as a club now.

It's always more difficult for defenders to adapt to the league. I think he's been fine personally.

Seeing Wood struggle against League 2 opposition yesterday probably helped too.

Pedro?

Brett Emerton

His only skill as a journalist is having an excuse for why he was wrong every time.

Signing McTominay is a throw back to the bad old days of signing Butt, Smith, Obertan etc... I would like to hope we're better than that now and have moved on.

What benefit do we get from loaning out our 2nd choice keeper and creating a huge gulf in quality between our first and new second choice keepers?

Tripps taking free kicks is like having a penalty. Taking it quick is an absolute no-no.
