Not for Harvey.

I mean, signing him to replace Longstaff was one of the first big moves we made. No coincidence we identified a weakness and a top, top quality solution.

Imagine if we finish 2nd man.

It was a decent atmosphere, there was a weird period when we went completely silent but generally people were trying.

Aye, he does do step-overs, bad example

He's pap, always has been, but I respect how hard he's worked during a really grim time for the club. I think his career has already peaked with playing in the PL really, but Yorkie is right that he could maybe find more comfort playing in a slower league away from the limelight.

I thought he was playing really well when he came off, another example of how these stupid bans for bookings are bad for the game and for fans.

Good signing yet?

Even the chances he missed he generally struck the ball well and the saves were good. He hasn't really messed up many chances through mistakes.

It is illegal to stop I think, they just make it look like they're still moving forward.

True but I think it happened before that. Part of the approach to the final was to shed that old mindset.

And his movement and balance is very fluid, he moves brilliantly with the ball. Efficiency is the best word for him really, he never seems to do anything unnecessary. Even when he decided he needed to go down the outside and shoot with his wrong foot, he did it quickly and cleanly.

We stepped up a level before the cup final. I really believe a mental switch has been found and the players now think of themselves as a genuinely top team who can beat anyone. And consistently dispose of the lesser sides. We have that feel about us now, the old 'typical Newcastle' shit is over for a long time.

I think it's guaranteed that any new signing doesn't better Murphy's stats from this season, there's very little chance they could. Doesn't mean we don't need someone in, but you're right the improvement would have to come in overall play.

TBF I put my head in my hands when Eze did that penalty

I think 7:30 KO is just to see how many people they can catch out.

If he hires Pardew we’ve got a load of stuff we can offload.

Southgate had an approach and it ‘nearly’ worked. I know he’s a bit corporate but I don’t have a problem with him really.

I think Mount’s a solid player and good with the right instructions and role. But not a mega signing that will do anything to take a failing Man Utd up a level.

I think you’re underestimating the potentially disastrous consequences of Mike Ashley TBH. We’re lucky that Rafa called him up and saved the day, we could easily have ended up in League One. Agree on the desperate fans stuff, but swapping one horrific owner for another isn’t an answer.

The whole thing is just delicious. I mean, we know these people talk nonsense to get callers and engagement but it's still annoying how little they know about their subject.

I never get that at all. Surely the people you should listen to are fans who experienced the guy for 15 years? Fair enough when he was unknown, I thought he sounded like a good owner too. It's like still giving Steve Bruce management jobs.

2 promotions When did he heavily invest into our stadium and infrastructure? The players were bathing in wheelie bins I could go on, it would genuinely be better to go out of business and start a phoenix club than be owned by Mike Ashley.

Adam P got into some online beef calling these people out. Nobody likes to be shown to be clueless. I should know.

Queroz as well to some extent. Fergie actually rotated his assistants well.
