Howe's refusal to substitute him is my biggest pet peeve. Let Osula chase lost causes for 20 minutes, not your biggest star who can barely jog for 3 seconds at a time.

I think Newcastle should have moved on to a second choice target a fortnight ago meself. A very strange saga.

Agree with this 100%. Painful today, a turnstile and forever out of possession, losing possession - but have to play through the pain to improve.

Nah, I just think he'd reached the very outer boundary of being shamelessly on the take.

What heart from the team.

Hah! Suck it Pawson you bent prick.

Need some subs on.

Poor Isak. Another 90 of chasing lost causes.

Tell Hall that Joelinton is going to toe punt him in his backside for every daft flick he does in his own third.

Hall ffs. Second time.

This match is going to be a life-shortener.

Going to enjoy Southampton getting trounced for the rest of the season completely guilt free.

Need a second goal. Hall is still learning his craft defensively, looks vulnerable.

I celebrated a lot. Just want someone to give Brereton a real headbutt at full time.

Have you say though, I know there's a lot of understandable rust, but thought Newcastle weren't great pre-red card.

Pawson has really overachieved at being an utter dickhead, hasn't he? Completely immune to reason or reviewing his decisions.

That Ipswich lad Luongo looks like one of the least agile players I've seen in a while. No short of effort but he turns around so slowly!

Not a good ball by Rashford.

Reminds me of WCW-era Jeff Jarrett.

Quite funny tbh.

Well, at least the broadcasters picked a barnstormer to globally advertise the return of the Premier League.

If I'd known I could get the second best Bruno to fluff all his chances, I'd have taken the hit ages ago.

It's been nearly 20 years (probably) and I was immediately bitter that Laurent Robert got sent off because of Bergkamp, when Bergkamp kicked it straight at him.

Read it and weep/beat me convincingly, lads.

24 years old is quite young in centre-back years. Probably not at his peak for three or fours. Trust the scouting team.
