surely joselu goes, and armstrong (unless he's not counted as senior?) Armstrong is still an U21, I think. But this is his last year as one. Don’t see Joselu going just yet, think he’ll hang around as third choice.

I’ve got us at 28 seniors now Merino is gone, sound about right to people? Sels/Elliot/Darlow, Sterry, Mbemba, Lazaar, Colback, Saivet, Aarons and Mitrovic to be shifted. Leaves us needing 5 more signings.

Loves Tribal Football this lad.

Based purely on this season I'm chuffed with this, we've effectively got back to where we finished the last and now it's time to build further. If we can start shifting some players out (Merino, Mbemba, Mitrovic look to be relatively imminent) then still fairly confident we'll improve in the areas we need to. We don't spend it before we have it, which is abundantly clear. It's not nice, but life gets easier if you accept that.

Don't worry lads, that PL payment will be dropping any day now and then we'll have LOADS to spend.

Unreal he didn't get carded last night. He's fucking dog.

My 31 year wait for a trophy, any trophy, goes on.

Bossed the first but heavily second best after that, fair play to Croatia and good luck against France. Modric, man. What a player.

Been coming.

What the fuck will it take for Vrsaljko or Lovren to get booked?

Both full strength?

Still negotiating the purchase option?

Why didn't they wait for the fucking summer holidays to start first?

No fucking way

It's like one of us suddenly becoming the owner of NUFC Canny busy job this Chairman lark, eh?

Get in

This is so, so good. Pleasure to be in here at the moment. Where have all the resident mackems gone?

Beardo pulled out in front of me coming into Newcastle last night, didn’t racially abuse me though so I reckon I got off lightly.

COME ON ENGLAND!

Their expectations are sky high due to the takeover and everything else, this is going to be another cracking season.

have they started calling Paris "home" then? nee chance they get through a France side that shows up. “They” This tournament has really shed light on things.

Another one bites the dust. Hope Deachamps Pardew dances your dreams to fucking dust. Gareth will be the only one dancing come Sunday my friend.

Trophy coming to NE28

He was outstanding in the last game you utter fruit loop.

Another one bites the dust.
