More likely to lose all 5 then win all 5.

How much are each of the big 6 making? New top class stadium's: Arsenal - 61,000 Spurs - 62,000 Expanded old stadiums: Liverpool 61,000 Man city - 55,000 Man U - 75,000 Old small stadiums: Chelsea - 40,000. Is the current 52,000 stadium expanded to 65,000 not capable of competing with them? Other than West Ham, the next current closest to us is Villa (42k).

Could be really embarrassing this. I'll go 5-0 citeh.

Crap all over the pitch once again tonight, shipping goals against mediocre teams. Chelsea were there for the beating, and we were nowhere near.

So Anfield and old Trafford are? If they can achieve it, I'm sure a revamped SJP can.

Several comments that if we don't build a new stadium will stay miles behind spurs, arsenal etc... Are Liverpool, manure and citeh miles behind them too, given their stadiums? An upgraded St James would comfortably be their equal.

Looking more and more likely that they don't want them going up and getting mullered every week in the PL. Getting rid of Mowbray was the first proper suggestion of it, ridiculous decision and something like 2 wins from 13 since he left. Happy days.

They just don't look like doing it though do they. Would say since Christmas it's felt like every week they could get right back in the mix, then bottle a result. I would also like to see them in the play offs.

It's a mini league for 6th and 7th spots now, hopefully we get Isak and Willock fit and have a good end to the season.

Effectively had seasons 20/21 and 21/22 off before his move to Stoke, no surprise he'd lost it. 5 goals in his last 46 PL games before his 3 in 45 for Stoke. No doubt somebody else will give him £10k a week though.

Best performance for some time, hopefully he's close to being fully back

Looks like we'll be without a striker for this, so would happily take a 1-0 win right now.

How much money did it offer us this season for those 6 games? Of course I'd love to be back in it, but Europa would do me just as much, and I doubt there's much in it financially, unless you go far in the UCL.

Surely it's on any way, 7th spot will almost certainly be a European spot.

Surely these 2 have the worst combined fitness record of any striker pair in the PL. Neither are fit for more than 50% (guessing probably less than that)

is Ings still available?

He must love life in Newcastle

Can't believe he's worth any more than than £15m, maybe a bit more in add-ons. Others saying Mackems holding out for £25m!

The state of the majority of those clubs old grounds were a quite a step down from SJP though tbf.

Do we really need a massive rebuild? Keep thinking if we had everyone fit, upgraded on Miggy and Burn, and a new striker, as well as Tonali back effectively as a new CM we'd be looking pretty sweet for next season. 3 signings. I'll trust those in charge, they've not made many/any mistakes so far.

I reckon I could put up with it for a year, if it meant me being £12m richer.

What to people realistically think he's worth, £25-30m?

£25m and I'd see it as good business, but the opposite at £10m.

Can you be cup tied for champions League?

For sure, but I could see the long term argument. Fwiw, I still don't think we are a million miles away from challenging, and don't believe we need to sell players. Keep the current squad more or less fit, and add 3 pieces of quality in the summer, along with Tonali.
