I love BDB, of course I do, but if I'm Southgate I'd also consider Targett. I appreciate he's not played much recently, but he's such a solid defender and adds a bit more with his passing than BDB. I appreciate he's less versatile but a specialist is often preferable to a generalist in a cup competition, where one small mistake can lead to a costly exit.

Not at all, didn't realise that would work. Thanks for the tip-off, i'm off to go do my duty...

What we don't want is to split the toon vote so that someone else sneaks in and wins. Vote Miggy.

I've voted. Can't believe Almiron's only got 1 goal of the month contender, meanwhile there's inferior versions of his goals against Villa and Everton nominated for Antony and De Bruyne. Big 6 favouratism all over the place

1. Only 1. And it’s us. Lush!

It’s a good chart that would be a bit easier to follow with a bit more purple in the colour scheme!

I can relate to how he feels. The amount of times I aim for treble 20 and land a 1 is ridiculous. If I aim for 5 I hit 20s. Maybe he should try that, aim for centre of the goal and he’ll sneak it inside the post

Add in Merino as well please

I know this is ambitious and would likely cost loads of money, but could you make a small flag of all the players and staff the size of the ones with 2 poles (they look about 3m by 2m on the tv, it been to a game since Wolves last year), and give them out to the full gallowgate stand to recreate one of the dressing room photos?

Did not vote- impossible to answer. All I can say is it’s not Fraser or Murphy, and this question will get even harder when Isak’s added.

If I pay £15, am I right in thinking I can put these names down: 1. Jack Grealish 2. Miguel Almiron’s 3. Greatest Fan ?

This is the start of Howe’s and our real challenge. How to determine the glory-hunting bandwagon-jumping mercenaries from those players with good character. Players that came when we were crap you know they had good character and we’re up for a fight and a project. How do you tell good character when you’re joining a team based in Europe and on the up? Looks like Ekitike would’ve been a bad character to sign. And there’s going to be more like him interested in us in future ed: spelling

Can you make it a giant flag, mostly transparent, with the faintest writing of “Botman” in opaque letters. So it’s a large and imposing poster that you only really notice it’s presence if you look for it, like the man himself

“I’m living my dreams here.” And with that, and with a tear in my eye, it dawns on me that the last 14 years of Ashley was worth it for all this. With hindsight I’d actually go through Ashley’s reign again to live what we’re living now (and what’s to come). Growing up in cardiff I always used to say to my mates: “you have to spend time in Newport to truly appreciate how nice Cardiff is.” Same thing applies with us

You think we’ll draw them in the group stage of champions league?

“Miggy Miggy Miggy, can’t you see? sometimes your goals just hypnotise me! And I just love your smiley face, Grealish is broke an your so paid!”

Huh? His partner is Eddie Howe and his baby is the Toon Project. If anything he’s the perfect dad and partner!

A frustrating winger, relies a bit too much on a dummy

Too true. For context, we’re talking about Sven losing a single header… across the entire season so far! The man’s an ice cold killer of opposition attacks. All beautifully within the laws of the game too. No petty fouls or shirt pulls, just does what’s needed. Ronseal

This is senile bullshit. As if any Newcastle fan was unhappy with Eddie’s comments on our spending which is wholly proportionate with the premier league or his views on his own behaviour on the touchline, which were both (1) true (he is well behaved) and (2) not given in response to a question that name-checked Klopp. Journalists are no longer functioning as independent scrutinisers of societal institutions and so a key part of a functioning constitutional democracy. They’re a weaponised group of protest writers jumping on the zeitgeist to increase clicks and obtain temporary seals of public approval. This chap can do one!

FYP

This

He needs to play. Score a hat trick, bring a match ball back to baby as a welcome to the world present. No letting anyone down, just adoration from all people involved

Perhaps he’s discovered that the wine’s not nice it’s just the biscuits

Targett is at least as good as Burn, if not better. Targett over Ritchie was a much bigger jump in quality than Burn over Lascelles. So I’d give Targett an 8 or 9. Agree with the rest of your ratings!
