I'm having more fun trying to spot Wor Mike in the stands than watching the game, like.

Barnes has had a couple of sharp moments, Bruno’s hit a few nice passes, Ashby loves a slide tackle, Anderson’s everywhere, and Ritchie never stops moving. That’s all I’ve got for that half.

Aye that’s a good shout. Just seems weird that the team against Chelsea was otherwise our “best” XI.

Do we reckon Howe is trying to give Bruno a kick up the arse by picking Miley ahead of him with the big lads and making him play with this lot instead?

He just returned a five yard pass to Anderson’s neck area, aye.

Murphy is honking

Barnes in the USA, I think

Higginbotham.

Ritchie on at Dahoud now. Lovely.

Barnes there. Oof.

Howay the bros

@Jack27 seemed sound enough but just noticed when tagging him that he's cried off due to the jip he got for going after Pizza Rob. Probably a regen anyway. We should've closed the doors after @wormy.

Hope fucking lives for negativity these days.

Another one for cranna's greatest hits that, like: "Going too cheap is gonna relegate Newcastle, for sure." "Botman is going to Milan, Maldini loves him." "The defense is better, but Ryan Fraser and Chris Wood aren't enough to avoid relegation." "Even with Guimarães, I don't think Newcastle is safe without at least a player like Lingard." "Surviving relegation with Ryan Fraser and Chris Wood? Good luck with that!" "Just pay whatever Man Utd want for Lingard, and finish the job."

Aye, injured.

It's not Yorkie in Australia or owt, but it gave me a hankering for stout for months afterwards.

Haydn's Irish adventure is legit one of my favourite forum odysseys, like.

There was a time when I used to worry that we weren't attracting enough new members to keep the place fresh and happening. What a fool I was.

Quite jealous of Mike getting to see Paul Dummett play football in the flesh for the first time. It's an unforgettable experience.

Just in case people want something to worry about. Feels like there hasn't been enough worrying lately. From Caulkin's latest with Bruno and Big Joe.

Don't usually get wrapped up in fees because what the fuck do I know, but I thought we'd get at least £40M for him and people would find it hard to argue after the Neves move. He's apparently gone for less than Jota from Celtic did. But maybe PIF and the rest are comfortable that they'll be able to get sufficient funding into the club regardless of the fee here.

But the fee is $30 million.
