Superior Acuña

I don’t think there’s anything to be concerned about. He’s had a good season so far - and also a keeper is always going to be somewhat criticised for being at fault for a goal even if they make lots of other good contributions. Sure he’ll be disappointed himself - afraid it’s true to an extent with a keeper or defender that one bad moment can undo a lot of good, at this level. dont see him being dropped any time soon, but I can imagine Howe being keen for the opportunity to give Ramsdale a go if there’s a few such mistakes

if it was for them aye, not seen how they’ve gone on especially last two years (like I said my bad if I missed another incident)

you’re not claiming we should’ve had a pen. Sound like an Arsenal fan man. edkt: apologies if I missed something else

?? was a genuine question, love him. Thought it didn’t look fast or far enough for him not to have good attempt at reaching it

Should he not have done better for first too?

Id have taken the draw quite happily even though late. Good job we didn’t score at end, watched in London in pub and I’d have gotten knocked out, was absolutely dying to celebrate one . good for them, theylll come second again despite the global conspiracy. And we’ll prob get fifth again

I fancy us for top 5 again, hoping that's all CL again. I think it should be the same top 5 teams as last season. ManU don't look like they'll have improved enough to challenge it. Tottenham will do better, and could be the main challenge, but I think bridging that gap will probably be too much. Early evidence is that Villa will not be matching/doing better than last season. Forest won't be a threat. Chelsea look similarly inconsistent but will prob have enough. I reckon if we keep close to last season's level, maybe a bit below, we should finish top 5. If we can manage that alongside a CL campaign, that'll be progress.

From having him at Newcastle and Scotland to being at ManU and England no thanks

Yeah, while no doubt Shearer got to him, he's being playful here in front of friends of Shearer. Do love that wor Al got to him though.

Who’s shirt did Cook get?

TiL Slot played against us for Breda when we battered them 5-0 in 2003 https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/match/73427--newcastle-vs-nac/

Rightly so - was satisfying that we won it last year without that advantage. id gen have said good things about the LC before we won it, think it’s a great comp these days and prestige more than it was. Largely thanks to Pep probably.

Last time we had a Br_ford team in the cup at home we went onto win the trophy...

I want us to dominate it for years to come

Great to see him back last night <3

What’s the story with the group of Barca fans in the Milburn? Also Rafa <3

Was looking forward to AG harassing on the wing :-/ but I trust wor Eddie

Have we played any European teams more than 5 times? Will be 5 v PSV this year too. (At least) (competitive fixtures)

Hauled off after 1 goal in 7 Champions League appearances. Worrying.

He’s a Geordie and he’s fucking good de dum de dum dum dum dum dum 🎹 He hates the mackems that’s understood de dum de dum dum dum dum dum He plays in black and white, scores every time de dum de dum dum dum dum dum and so on

That was a lovely header. Defending for the first...

Forgettable match but good three points. Loved Wor Nick getting his goal. How good does he look on the pitch in those long sleeves? Looked pretty dodgy at the back at times. Not a fan of HT and FT highlights on the big screen, part of fun is speculating what happened then not getting to see things again til later. What a bunch of fannies they were singing PL is corrupt for some minor decisions not going their way. Missed Liverpool, so good to be back.

'The match has already happened so there's nothing we can do'... Thick as fuck.

I imagine more the latter, responding to the fuss
