Murphy staking his claim as our starting right winger

With Botman and Lacelles still out long-term, Miley missing start of season, Wilson possibly missing start of season, Willock made of glass, and if the Chronic is to be believed, Longstaff still struggling and a few other not yet in proper training, there's going to be an obvious impact next season too. Even without Europe, we could be stretched to breaking point again if we do well the cups. We need 3 high quality players minimum.

Would be sad to see him go - essentially the founding player and leader of a new club era. But equally would be very frustrating if we get a fee that would have allowed us to retain Minteh. If it's relative pocket change, think I'd rather keep him on the books.

Well that's a load of bollocks. May have been somewhat possible 15 years again, but that ship has long sailed. PIF are surely aware that we're under a very constrained budget and having to sell good players just to avoid points deductions. Top 5-7 (with hopefully the occasional 3-4) is a reasonable long-term target under the circumstances.

Wish we had a player like Minteh on the right

We can't really afford any more players.

Are we top of the injury league table yet?

£2bn stadium in Newcastle Not a chance in hell they'll be spending that. £300-400m for a major revamp and extension of St James maybe.

Unless an announcement is imminent, we're getting too close to Euro 2028 to achieve any noticeable enhancements to St James. Personally I think I new stadium will not happen, so any Gallowgate expansion and Leazes refurbishment will come around 2029-30.

Lining up Tripps and Gallagher after we'd equalised finished Southgate for me. Clearly just wanted to try and cling on for dear life and hope for pens.

Eddie will make good use of him at the WC 2026

Outclassed by Spain. Can't complain. With a less gutless manager, we could have had this mind.

Stop kicking it out like that Pickford man

And there we go ffs. So used to Newcastle or England never winning anything, kinda felt numbed to that goal.

Kane is laughably poor ffs. Gets the ball deep, then can barely move forward before getting dispossessed. What a complete waste.

Think the Spanish will be a level above us tonight. 3-1 to them.

Suppose it's hilarious at the moment (especially seeing the Pool and Arse fans seethe), but it'll not be so hilarious for us when they're back challenging for top 4 or better. Arse, Pool and City should remain favourites for top 3, leaving potentially five clubs chasing that last spot.

That was a fucking brilliant goal. Can't see anything other than getting spanked on Sunday though.

His effort when the Dutch hit the cross bar was hilarious

Much, much better. But without the Southgate drag factor, we'd probably be 3-1 up. Get Kane off for Toney definitely, and maybe Gordon left side on 70 minutes.

Hope we manage to get Pickford involved in more corners tonight.

Even if City win their case, I'm not convinced PIF will suddenly inflate our income with sponsorships. The lack of progress on the stadium and training facilities suggests to me they're now content to be a 4-7th outfit. If they truly wanted us at the top, think we'd at least have world class training facility in for planning by now and be loaded up on as many sponsors as possible.

Palmer on the left is a right kick in the face to Gordon. Wish he'd never been selected.

Fuck that. If he's not in open play, don't want him to risk being a fall guy.

We'll get to 115 minutes and the Swiss are knackered, and he still won't bring Gordon on the fucker.
