Or we could play it game by game, like Howe does, and let the little fuckers fight it out.

Any player we sign now becomes part of a squad, a squad that is anticipating European football soon and therefore should expect to be rotated from time to time. Whether it be Joelinton, Willock, Longstaff or a Maddison, they all need to come in to the side on merit and understand they might have sit a game out when tactically required. The only time a set 11 would come into play is when play "big" games and even then Howe might have horses for courses. Not a rant at you Yorkie.

It's also conveniently forgotten that Chris Wood was a calculated over spend and also Isak distorts that figure massively since he has hardly kicked a ball.

And I mean this, I hope Villa with Emery can start upsetting some of the cartel too. It doesn't benefit anyone having certain clubs constantly pulling up the ladder. Obviously I don't want you to beat Newcastle but if Villa made top 6 in the next couple of seasons, at the expense of Spurs or Chelsea or whoever, we would all benefit. I also quite like Emery. It's time for a change at the top of this league and it starts with Newcastle and it doesn't have to end there.

He'd be class for anyone with a threatening centre forward aerially. His delivery's are up there with Trippier and TAA. He's just not being utilised properly.

After the Willock goal, there's a tiny noise/word thar Ando makes in the background that put a huge smile on my face. Like a "ha", everyone go and listen for it. Its glorious.

If ever there was a time to hoy another 10m on a player of Maddisons calibre, January would be the time to do it. Strike while iron is hot. He wouldn't even need to go straight into the starting 11. Wait until we hit a bump in the road and rotate him and Isak into the starting line up. 4th would be ours.

Lads a think 7 is on like.

Title contenders at current.

Wilson was ill remember, probably not got 100% energy.

Che Adams has shades of Wilson to his game. Bit of a rough shithouse. If he scored more he'd be a player.

If only Eddie Howe had us in such good condition that we are nearly always better in the second half.....

Came in to post this.

Sunderland fans normally do "lest we remember", thick cunts.

Little cunt used to torture us.

Some good bench options.

Or not.

Got a sneaking feeling that Maxi starts.

Who you going for on the left, since Joelinton is suspended? There's no way Shelvey starts over Longstaff right now, unless he's injured.

Want something to give you a pre match spring in your step. Came (quite literally) across this on YouTube. Loads of these newcastle wankathons about these days, and im all for it.

Rodrigo is one of those players we should look at if Leeds go down, very tidy player.

Mental that anyone still doesn't rate Shelvey. Especially after how much praise Howe has given him since he came here. He's going to be class for us when we are playing some European no marks and we need to rest Bruno.

Just be careful. I think we will win but PL games are rarely straightforward. If we go 1-0 up we can relax a bit.

Yep. Wasn't his intention at all.

Correct. Can't wait for the bi-annual meltdown when the media report a lack of transfer funds before slapping 45m on Maddison again.
