GeordieDazzler

I went for Longstaff vs Southampton as it was such a great team goal. Proper flowing football. Goal that sealed passage to the final and scored by a Geordie. Almiron vs Fulham is technically and aesthetically the best obviously but I just feel that Longstaffs goal was just a microcosm of this team and our style of play.

The Leicester fans seem to think he is a bit of a Shelvey, has bags of technical ability and unplayable on his day but his days are too infrequent.

Krul or Forster

The players are always better after pure coaching time with Howe. Not preparing for a specific game just time on the training pitch. We impose our style on players and thus most games. He’s got all the attributes to be a fantastic player. He’s looked pretty desperate to make a contribution and that has weighed on him. Hopefully he can kick on from this. Great interview.

Getting interviewed on Talksport later after the play off coverage is done

A player like Almiron is vital for the intensity we want to play at, even as a bench player.

Us when either of these come up

Bayern ref here

Belter! Why is Bellingham on the bench?

Ferguson is going to go for stupid money, I don’t think they have any intention of selling him yet.

Fraser Forster surely?

Looks like Antony is out of the cup final. Shame, was looking forward to his tears when they lost.

Mourinho is mint man, I just want nowhere near my club

Didn’t Liverpools old CEO constantly try and push for a La Liga style TV deal?

Surely Moyes needs to buy his annual striker that he doesn’t know how to utilise properly.

Not even sure we need to play a strong side tbh

Donaldson is thinking about his work outside the ramble so tows the tut tut Saudi Arabia line. But yeah for a Newcastle fan I’m not sure I’ve heard a pertinent bit of analysis come out his mouth this season, he seems almost embarrassed to talk about us.

Anyone having an issue getting on the website - it’s telling me they don’t recognise my details but has let me do a password reset. Weird.

State of the linesman for Hearts first goal by the way

no we need another Brighton goal for that

In the u21 squad

They’ve spent loads, FFP is there to try and stop clubs betting the house and going bust if they get it wrong. It’s perhaps easier to think of FFP as a limit on what you can lose over what you can spend.

Losing Nunes at a cut price due to contract Nunes being completely underwhelming and probably not increasing in value. Signing a new striker who does his ACL in the first game. Signing Guedes for £30m on a 5 year deal and him being so underwhelming that he was loaned out after 6 months. Loan to buy Cuhna who has 2 goals in 20. I think they banked on their businesses being much more successful. Now they are left with their most saleable asset probably going for much less than his worth and certainly less than the cost of a replacement.

They saw it as a way of achieving some of the ‘levelling up’ without actually having to do anything themselves.
