HawK

I don't agree with those views if that's what she's expressed. I don't see how I've been painted in a bad light? And I think the only person in our conversation dealing in absolutes is yourself. There are people in the world who think people who commit certain crimes should be executed, they are also calling for groups of people to be killed. Do we have a checklist on people coming into the ground if they support capital punishment, and to what degree? What about views on the current genocide in China or Ukraine, Russia, Palestine, Israel? The list goes on and on. You just can't bar entry to people because you don't like their views or opinions, it's undemocratic. It's a wider conversation to be had in a non-footballing thread, but on the specific point about a Newcastle Utd fan being barred entry based on held views on beliefs I disapprove of the banning. I'm sure there's literally 1000s of people in the crowd who hold unsavoury views that most would not agree with in the cold light of day.

My view?

Oh come on

Directly defaming individuals with slander or threatening violence is against the law and should be treat as such, but holding and expressing opinions about groups of people isn't though. I'll say again, I might not like nor agree with what opinions people have or express, but being selective on allowing entry to a football game only if you hold compatible opinions and views doesn't align with the laws of a democratic society.

I thought we've barred her from attending because of things she's written on Twitter? I admit I've really not looked into it beyond that at all, I could be mistaken.

I think it would be quicker for our conversation if you just tell me what it means to you

So we don't believe in freedom of speech anymore, great. I might not agree with her views, but she shouldn't be punished for saying them. It's not as if she's made direct threats of violence against anyone. What a world this has become :/

I thought on the few occassions where he's played as the obvious advanced midfielder (not recently from my patchy memory though), he's always looked lively. He's very good at running in to find space and goalscoring positions, very good. If Bruno had a counterpart to sit with like a Phillips, I think Longstaff ahead of them both with his pressing off the ball to support whoever the front 3 may be, would play a lot to his strengths - not saying anything about his goalscoring positioning. It's mental how one glaring hole in a team has so many knock-on effects, I hope there wasn't any more we could have done to bring Phillips in, because I think we'll regret it in the medium term. Hopefully we're identifying targets for the summer to fill that role.

Just bought some dining chairs from there

Voting for goal of the month is open now on the BBC app / motd BBC sport page. Get your vote in for Alex, think it's open for 30 mins from now.

3-1-6 with Bruno just behind, could work.

Well those 3 people have something in common, they don't get any minutes on the pitch.

Aye, in a one-off game, with players at their peaks, you'd always choose differently to players who count consistency and reliability among their notable traits. Woodgate was something we'd never really seen before in our team, a genuinely world class centre half. I'm not going to sit and try to suggest that defensively Schar is better than Woodgate was, because I don't think he is. But he's close, and everything else he brings to the table, for me, he's the most complete centre half we've ever had. Woodgate then is like Bruno today, he was a level or two at least above everyone else on the pitch. Schar is alongside our best ever PL right-back and arguably our best ever PL midfielder. It's not so obvious how good he is imo.

So Hamilton to Ferrari is going to be the biggest move today then.

Still holds up - gap growing to Woodgate imo. The absolutely effortless positioning and poise of Woodgate with the threat on the ball from Albert, and let's throw some Pirlo-esque long-passes into the mix. No question in my mind now.

Rumor has it his sister really hates a certain tongue twister

I want to see more of Miggy on the left. If Isak is out for Luton, a front 3 of Almiron - Gordon - Murphy would press the absolute shit out of them.

He's a good lad he'll be fine

Watching Bruno sprinting back is like racing your 6 yr old son who is going full guns

That was a good ball in from Tripps, he's been on it today.

Commentators.. useless by and large. Last game : Why the fk didn't they put the flag up? This game : Why the fk did they put the flag up?

In Botman's pocket

Now we've got Murphy and Gordon on the break with them pushing for goals. This plays to our strengths

Botman's so good
