I know it's heresy, but I actually think the arena site would be excellent. To be able to see the stadium clearly when coming over the Tyne bridge or on the railway would be just as special as the cathedral on the hill.

With what lineup? Karius Hall Tonali Parkinson Plus all the other fit players who aren't playing?

More like how far we have dropped behind.

Valued at 60m, as opposed to 50m for Williams https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/takefusa-kubo/profil/spieler/405398

No way Luton are getting that second goal with Pope in there.

£97 million? Bloody hell

Says the man with a Laurent Robert avatar and no vested interest. Having said that, I agree.

When you put it like that it sounds potentially very cheap. Leazes Terrace is less than 150m long. Let's say generously it's 15m tall, that's 2,250m2 for the front, the same for the back, plus the two ends, around 5000m2. Four hours of labour per m2 makes 20,000 hours. I don't know what this skilled labour costs, but let's assume £25/hour. That's only £500k. Pocket change in the scheme of a stadium rebuild.

Agreed. Sometimes it feels like other people are watching a different game. There was one missed run off a Bruno pass, but otherwise he's been all go. And very important in winning free kicks and relieving pressure.

I agree. Phillips is ideal because not only is he a great shield he also has an outrageous long past on him.

I don't see how anyone could be against this from a fan experience point of view. Obviously there is the problem of losing public grassland, but I think the overwhelming majority of the city population would think it a worthwhile trade.

Maguire was very good tonight. Hugely surprising. Without him we scored at least three. Fair play to him for seemingly turning it around and caring recently. Shame his team mates are petulant and lazy.

What did I miss?

Looks super dodgy at high balls from corners too

So glad we didn't buy Gallagher

Viana had a good beard

I was wrong. If Dortmund beat AC away and PSG beat Dortmund away then we're in the uefa with 8 points. But this feels unlikely.

Actually, this is really helpful. I think (and correct me if I'm wrong), it shows that if we draw with psg and beat AC then we are through regardless of the ways the other results go. Based on head to heads I can't see a scenario where that doesn't happen.

What happened with this?

78% pass accuracy is actually pretty rubbish for a midfielder playing it relatively simple. Don't lead with that stats guy!

One of Trippier's many important contributions for us is his attacking assist and crossing. Putting him on the left significantly nerfs that. I think Tino has played on the left before, and crossing is less important to his game. If anything, he should be starting there.

Who doesn't love a team with six full backs!
