Theregulars

It’s such a non-issue. It’s just what they’re called to differentiate the fact that a big football city has two teams with that name.

Of all the teams, and of all the fixtures, this is the one I want us to win and win well.

They’re a good side but I don’t think they’re as well-drilled of confident in their true identity as we are.

Dear Edward, My body is yours. Ride me like a night bus. Warm, moist regards, L. Atkin

Toney is such a dweeb. Never even played, such a weird chip on his shoulder. Release was best thing for his career.

Hold my hands up as I’ve given him a lot of stick - Murphy has played well and deserves that goal for his endeavour and attitude.

Sigh re: Longstaff

He was fine, no better.

No need to maintain Murphy

Maybe he arrives early for special routine. Means nothing

Really want his nickname to be Climate Change.

Yeh I voted underwhelm. Fuck

What on earth is he thinking?!

Man these militant trade unions, they hate sporting freedom

“For some reason” - he’s foreign

Not for me - sell at earliest opportunity.

Even pre season vs Bilbao Ritchie played a lovely through ball for Wilson’s goal

What makes Murphy better than Ritchie? Which facet of his game do you think makes him a preferable option? Is it the never finishing a chance, constantly hitting the first man or being knocked off the ball easier than a wet towel?

Who has contributed more assists and goals in a Newcastle shirt? One has under 3 in both categories, one doesn’t.

Ritchie is better than Murphy.

Then don’t make the sub, simple.

So you agree with my original premise that he’s not good enough - cool.

Nobody. Fatigued starters are better. What’s Murphy contributed positively as a Newcastle player in your opinion?

He needs to stop giving minutes to Murphy. Anybody can see he’s not good enough. Baffling.

Has he offered an explanation yet?
