Mad that if just Bruno hadn't scored that second right at the end last week, we'd be going into the last day on same points and GD as Chelsea. Ahead cos of 2 more goals scored.

It's an embedded tweet

I don't buy that he has a bad attitude, I think that gets projected onto him when he's not playing as well. The negative feelings people had before he signed are bubbling under and ready to resurface when he hits a poor patch. Don't buy he gets an easy ride at all, heard multiple people shouting 'scouse cunt' at him on the weekend when he tried and failed to get past someone - few players get that kind of stick.

Chicarito for league games, but played more all comps for ManU. Surprised he played that many for ManU! (157). Good question!

Obviously I'll take fifth, but also I want top 4, above Chelsea and Villa, I don't want that bonus 5th CL spot. Tottenham were 5th last season!

Right at the final whistle he came over to fans ahead of everyone else and was pointing at fans and at himself, and saying something, anyone catch precisely what he was conveying? Assume something to do with in it together etc

Would love him to get a goodbye goal v Everton... hope it's off the bench to cap off a comfortable win though, not something we're relying on 😬

Yep, year after year with nothing to play for. Apart from 11/12 the closest it got to this intense were those two failed relegation fights, and promotion.

So does 19th get in the Europa League?

Saw an Eritrean restaurant quite near the Emirates. Worrying.

There is a decent chance Forest Chelsea draw, and in that case a draw is enough for us. We should be going for a win like obviously, but I can see us not needing it.

Oh well. Could’ve won that on a different day, neither at best, probably a pretty forgettable match. I was here two years ago for the 0-0 and was really impressed with the atmosphere, that’s gone. Conversely it was better in our end - until they scored - than the other two London games I went to this season. However the negativity from some man, can’t understand it. Gordon got loudly called a scouse cunt by multiple people. All round if I was to bet I’d have put it on 0-1. Disappointing but we can and should still do this. The one thing that could’ve gone worse this weekend is if we got battered or Chelsea thumped ManU - valuable to have that GD advantage over Chelsea on last day in case both games a draw.

Arsenal already has the word arse in it, you don’t need to change that bit

Not confident at all for this but Howay the lads!! Get into them

Remember when we re-signed him in 2006. Good times.

I get it’s more complicated with the teams wining European competitions but it’s been like that for domestic cups for ages, don’t know how it keeps getting asked! With the Arsenal VAR ‘was it out so-called controversy it was amazing to find out how many fans don’t know it has to be the whole ball.

Agree a draw is better than a loss but not that a win is better than a loss! They lose today and that means Forest win last day and we’re good even if we lose both games (unless we get battered)

Forest drop points tomorrow then beat Chelsea and we need fuck all, granted we don’t get battered. edit: I mean Sunday

Even if we lose sunday, it would be very helpful if it's not a 4+ battering so we can go into the last game with a GD/GS advantage over Chelsea. Nice that although they won it was just 1-0. That way if Chelsea Forest draw (a reasonably likely scenario), a draw would be enough for us regardless of Villa and regardless of West Ham v Forest.

With only two games left, there's a path to us both finishing on 69 points, 69 goals scored and the same GD. Equal, very much in the spirit of 69.

6-2 win for Chelsea tonight and we'll have equal points, GD and goals scored. Guess then we'd be top on head to head?

The way football has changed bothers loads of fans. In the 60s-80s there wasn't anything like as much reason to fear the club being stripped of its ties to the community, city and history as there is now. Who the club is 'for' from the perspective of the owners has changed massively then. Consequently I think it's natural to want to hang on to what we've got, retain tradition etc.

The oldest of our previous badges was just seven years old, so I doubt there'd have been a big fuss. We've had the current one for 37 years. (city crest obvs older but had only been on our shirt for seven years) There's also more reason to be protective of such things now than in the 70s-80s I believe, due to the complete transformation of english football's role in the world.

4. They're all there. It's the longest-lived one. The first three were pretty brief. (1969-76, 1976-83, 1983-88, 1988-) https://www.newcastleunited.com/en/news/updating-our-crest-together

We'd already have almost wrapped up finishing above Chelsea if just Liverpool didn't play their reserves against them. They'd have to improve their goal difference relative to us by at least seven in their last two games, while winning both and us losing both.
