There's obviously a lot of discontent and justifiable anger at Isac but never take the noise that fans make in a stadium too literally. An easily remembered catchy ditty always has more people joining in than something new. Booing is another example. 1,000 people in a 50,000 stadium boo and 49,000 don't, the audible 1,000 make the story. Our press love things like this no matter how unrepresentative it may be.

Wound up? You're are joking. They pick their times to appear and disappear and as I said it's totally predictable. Anyway he likes your post

Add Jacob Murphy to that list of galacticos

The easiest prediction ever was that if Sunderland won on Saturday and we didn't a couple of weird mackems would re-appear on here.

Dominating a game like that is pleasing, not winning a game you've dominated like that is really frustrating. I agree with earlier posts questioning "would a centre forward have made a difference?" but I can't help thinking if Murphy and Osula had come on a bit earlier, immediately after the sending off perhaps, it might have made a difference.

Let's be realistic. As things stand it looks like there are two possible outcomes, as PIF for all their strength and wealth, are in the business of growing wealth and are not going to cut their nose to spite their face. He's not going to rot in the reserves or go to Gateshead on loan or any other wacky idea. Those possible outcomes are blunt. He stays with us and plays, for now, or he goes to Liverpool. Both quite unpalatable for many supporters, but for me the latter option would be admitting defeat, so reluctantly, it has to be the first.

Naah... that can't be right. Not those cheeky, knowledgeable, humorous, friendly scousers surely ? Don't we all love Liverpool like Sky, BBC, VAR, etc,etc tell us we should ?

Our team and set up is a dream for No.9's. Can't think of anywhere where a good striker would have more fun.

The hatred is to be expected, probably understandable, but let's be realistic about this, of all the potential outcomes the one which is by far the best for us is Isak back in the team and firing. Compromises and possibly embarrassing u-turns would be needed to get there but it wouldn't be the first time.

Or it's lapsed? Not that I'm saying that is the case but "had" could also imply that.

They all earn a living spinning around the same morsels of information, ask the same repetitive mundane questions, report the same "exclusives" but in reality know very little. And the arrival of "client media" just makes things worse.

"It's brilliant that they're fully immersed in the Newcastle way of life, the language, the way of thinking. It's such a great area with such positive, driven and motivated people. I'm very proud that they are going to be adopted Geordies." Up there with Sir Bobby's classics.

Think there's no way he plays on Saturday regardless if Joe, Bruno and Tonali are fit. He's a replacement for the midfielder we sold, which in fairness must be considered as a positive swap.

I wouldn't use the Stack as it's just not my type of place, it's all about the ale quality for me, but to imply it is having a negative affect is just ridiculous. Every single bar in town, irrespective of what type and who their clientele tends to be, are absolutely rammed on match days.

It's gone beyond Isak, what he did, where he ends up and how much money we ultimately get for him. This is quite pivotal and the cub can't appear to buckle. If we do, we may as well forget about ambitions of being a major player at the top end of football. We do what's best for us under our terms.

Even sways elections and convinces some people that ReformUK and it's public school leadership would be good for working class people. Everywhere you look zombies glued to their phones lapping it up, not even aware if it's raining or not unless their phone tells them it is.

With what we may have available for Villa Murphy may actually be a better option for CF than the others. He knows where the goal is. BTW this is not a Murphy for No.9 post, just needs must

Should things turn out in a way that Isak has to be re-integrated into the squad I think it would be easier for him due to his previous attitude. He has always been very calm and measured, never a kiss the badge type, never beat on about the fans or the city or claimed undying love for all things Newcastle. Just a pretty ruthless professional. It would be easier for him to pick up where he left off than if he had been that type.

Absolutely need to take the hard stance and not succumb to a contracted player's wishes or Liverpool playing cartel politics. Otherwise we may as well just scrap the "project", surrender, accept that our place is not at the top end of the PL and that the cartel clubs can just use us to further their own ambition and greed.

BDB is just a misplaced pass away from the same. Astonishing how many people view two of the key players in our rise over the last couple of seasons. Keep getting written off, keep bouncing back stronger. Top, top characters and they genuinely love the toon.

Terry McDermott ? Stopped playing to get a transfer to Liverpool.

Can't understand why some continuously want him out on loan. He's exactly where he should be and Eddie has repeatedly stated that. He's behind a superb midfield three but his time is coming soon.

We'll be fine, Denmark aren't in it.

.com says yes.

His career and progress would be so much better served in this Newcastle team and set up, as was Isak's. We're just perfect for a No.9. Sadly he's a Slovenian kid who will be star struck by the name Manchester United despite the reality being far removed from that glamourous image nowadays.
