I appreciate the linesman being so fucking sure that was stonewall penalty on a shirt tug never called all season.

Clark laying down and we had some counter

Refs are bent af

We can’t hold or pass the ball

Merino in the 10?

Atsu picking up where he left off mid week

Nah mate it happened against us so no foul.

Would he nice for Gayle to do something.

It’s the fact you bring on a DM who’s been pretty horrendous for some time.

I hope I’m wrong but these subs are weird.

My thoughts too.

Fuck, now I'm starting to feel bad for this lad's miss the other night. Just in general feel terrible for him because he clearly has been lauded for his work rate and effort by so many people in and out of the club.

Cisse's debut was sensational. Was a legit time our front 3 was Ba, Cisse, HBA and behind them we had Cabaye....ffs.

Think this nailed it. https://www.themag.co.uk/2018/01/mike-ashley-logic-empty-bank-account-wont-spending-january-newcastle-united/ "rather than allowing the club to spend what it earns to survive, the club is being forced to hold in reserve enough to finance a season in the championship. Only funds available after that can be invested in the squad." am not sure how to interpret this bit from the article. is it smart planning ahead, or bitter behavior from a man who's had his fingers burned? or...what? My 2nd guess is if we stay up, he'll just top off whatever he sells the club for with emptying out that bank account as profit, and tell new owner that it's their duty to fund and/or wait for the PL tv money. If we go down, he'll use TV money not spent to cover wages, fund player transfers. Thick fat cunt doesn't realize if he speculated a bit in the summer prior he'd have likely had a club "safe" from relegation, would have gotten the price he wanted, and could have fucked off into the sunset.

We could be a dramatically different team in terms of execution based on actually having a decent CF

The end of Beardsley and will tarnish whatever reputation and standing he had in the game surely?

honestly thought Stoke away (and many of us keep banging on this point) was our best setup with Murphy and Ritchie out wide and Atsu and Perez as the central 2. Personally think sub in Kenedy for Ritchie and play that away to Palace and until Slimani is fit.

My guess is he'll sell this summer but it will only be if we stay up in the PL.

Always the way to go.

How fucking dare this Luan fella ask for his wages to be matched to play for us.

Perez leading the line, Atsu behind him. Kenedy and Murphy wide. Diame and Merino CM

The team minus Shelvey. Get Merino in there.

He'll never play for Rafa will he? Prob true

The pass wasn't great but he never looked like scoring. Grafted his tits off in the second half but unfortunately that's just not enough. Actually thought that same, the pass slowed the attack down and he never looked like he was going to bang that in.

Until Slimani is starting we should be playing Kenedy and Murphy on the wings and Atsu and Perez up top like Stoke. If Atsu isn’t up to it then Ritchie as some weird number 10.
