Gallowgate End

I was just going to say that, but I'll give them a lot of credit for giving it a go Wouldn't be surprised if either they or Norwich stay up. So much dross down the bottom. Norwich will be rock bottom.

Real Madrid selling Mariano Diaz for the same £20m price as Sheff Utd payed for McBurnie Given we’re playing with 2 upfront and no wingers under Bruce I’d rather we went for Mariano Diaz instead of Saint-Maximin.

Fuming Mauricio Pochettino claimed he is no longer in charge of transfers at Spurs - and called for his title to be changed from manager to coach. Poch doubling down on his message re transfers/contracts: “I am not in charge, I know nothing about the situation of my players, I am only coaching them...it’s not in my hands, it’s in the club’s hands and in Daniel Levy’s hands.”

If he starts saying he’s playing a different more attacking style of football I’ll absolutely scream I bet he’ll come out with that he knows we have fans that fall for that mythical garbage.

Sounds like a player, he should stay well away probably. Yeah very talented, he has far more potential as a defender in a back 3 than as a wing back though. More likely to be used by Bruce as a wing back though I’d imagine. He’ll be a very useful versatile squad member if they can get him.

With Simon Jordan

Mitro definitely still has the last game of the season in his head

Jesus christ.. You do realise we’ve lost the highest quality stock manager we’ve ever had & replaced him with the lowest I’m not sure you’re mentally prepared for the reality check next season

He didnt want to come. Wanted to stay and get more experienced and mature as a player before going to the premier league. Apparently a year mainly on the bench has changed his mind! Looks like a great deal potentially. Read on a couple of forums he would suit a wing back role so we shall see. Wages yet to be met apparently. Weird as that is usually the first thing roughly sorted (albeit somewhat illegally). Cant see Dummett leaving. We need two natural left backs. I think he’d be better suited in a back 3. I don’t think his delivery will ever be at the level you would want for a wing back. The player he reminds me of most is Eric Abidal.

Kenedy has been playing every game for Lampard

Yeah he’s played both left wing back & in a back 3 for PSG He had a standout game in a back 3 in his debut season vs Marseille. I think we’d have seen a similar value rise to Issa Diop if played in a back 3 with Rafa Benitez working on him. Apparently we were very close to getting him a year ago.

Rafa at Chelsea Big Sam at Everton Allardyce at West Ham too. And which one won a trophy

Arsenal fans just get worse. Everyone knew what happened between Shawcross and Ramsey was an accident, wasn’t even a foul. Ramsey was just massively unlucky. Arsenal fans are doing that because Stoke fans have booed Ramsey ever since.

Far better buy than Zaha at the same price. I still remember when we didn’t do the deal for him at £8million when he was at Angers in 2013

Skysports for you.

Just seen it not like Skysports to be wrong

Rafa Benitez wins again *4 wins in 6 matches. *Only lost 1 in 6. *15 goals in just 6 matches. *Only failed to score in 3 of his last 18 matches in China/England. Just imagine if he gave games a go.........................

Rafa winning again Carrasco reminds me of Pires beautiful to watch

Unfortunately I think mike is right on this one. f*** off Rafa plays politics, always pushing for more. More training facilities More contact with fans More money for the food bank More control over players to come in for the benefit of Newcastle's team not the bank balance More investment in the infrastructure of the club for future generations. More access to players for young kids giving some sick and disabled kids days they will never forget More pride More Hope

Unfortunately I think mike is right on this one. He and you have never been more wrong A lot of it is no doubt bullshit but don’t think Rafa is as innocent as everyone thinks he is This. Rafa was a great manager & I was devastated when he left but Rafa puts Rafa first. Aye put himself first to stay on when we were relegated. Did you not listen to what he said impacted him to stay on and drag our club back up? I’ll be forever grateful to Rafa Benitez for that.

I think he's too dignified to get in a slanging match, he'll just say something cryptic about the fans knowing the truth and leave it at that. I really wish he would do a Keegan. His quotes about what it was really like working under Ashley were and still are to this day so powerful
