The handball rule itself is just as much a problem as VAR though. As is the punishment of a penalty being so out of proportion to the offence. IMO there should be almost no handballs in a PL season, only where a person has stopped the ball with their hand and clearly meant to do it in order to stop a goal-scoring opportunity like a dangerous cross or shot.

Same feelings, I guess we can't really keep him if he wants out, and selling him outside of the PL is the best option. But I don't like the smell of selling your best attacker 2 seasons in a row.

This is much better with the two central lines instead of one thick stripe. Think it's the one thick stripe for ours which is pretty crap.

I just think we were in a position of crisis management to various extents through the season, rarely in a position where Howe believed we could experiment, introduce new things and risk introducing a player like Woltemade slowly like we would've wanted. I don't think this season necessarily means that we'll never be able to get anything out of Nick.

Can't see any point in selling him now. If teams like Forest can have Awoniyi/Wood/Jesus for basically the same position or Palace can have 3, surely we can carry a selection of strikers.

Tend to agree. If the penalty is just a fine then I guess you almost have to try and spy on your opponent when the prize of winning is many times higher.

People like to be negative about our dealings.

Sure, and hopefully previous seasons as well. I just mean that decision could’ve been made already, we have the data.

Would be extremely harsh to place any importance on 2 fairly meaningless end of season games just before a World Cup summer like. I hope that’s not really how they’ll make this decision.

Is this Jordan Ibe again?

Still better than visiting Boro.

I've tried but I can't want Newcastle to lose. Not since Ashley left anyway. And I'm going so I want a nice day out.

Maybe this is what they're doing the play at SJP draw for?

Exactly I mean, what is the point in being a fan?

When we have a bad season do you go and run through all the mitigating factors that we should take into account?

On that note, it’s funny how a club like Forest have 3 or 4 options for central striker and we are never able to assemble options like that. Similar with Palace.

Well you seemed to be suggesting they didn’t care about support, it’s just a job for them and it doesn’t affect anything.

We may as well not turn up to support them at all then.

They’re officially sanctioned.

Should be people outside slapping anyone who leaves before the lap is over.

He's a good crosser as well.

I feel like he would benefit from playing every game, guess most players would. Maybe not for us, but then again nobody else has done owt.

What are you talking about you absolute plum Have they tried? Yes. Therefore thanks and lap of honour. Anything else is ridiculous.

Have to extend don’t we? Can’t replace the whole squad.

Couldn’t the same signs mean he’s being kept on?
