Theregulars

Bigger blow than it might otherwise have been because I don’t think Dalot is up to much, would have fancied ASM. Murphy it is, got to hope he keeps it up. Would have been nice having Isak to have a go there. We’ve really got no luck with injuries this year.

Not as scary as that sentence

I’m normally pretty pro-buying shirt and having it too, but can’t get my head around that one.

People in Newcastle do, otherwise people just say Newcastle, because we’re a one-club city. So many other things to get angry about in football than this.

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.

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.
