The FA have someone who’s not mental, corrupt or a national embarrassment… they’re in no rush to change him.

I do miss the era of batshit foreign managers.

There’s no chance of any practicing PL manager being poached by England. It’s a much worse job, especially for someone young.

The problem with mentioning people like Potter is that it’s a much better job to manage a PL club than it is to manage England. You’re basically choosing from a pool of people who don’t fancy the work of managing a top club or can’t get a job at one. Southgate has done a great job overall, whether there’s someone ready to take it forward is a difficult question.

No there aren’t.

Would think Bruno is going to take over the deepest midfield position. Not sure but seemed that way towards the end of the season.

Lascelles definitely looks leaner than he did. Guess he is training now.

8 year contract for Lamps.

He probably thinks too much if anything, rather than being stupid. He’s not the stereotypical footballer personality.

I think they just mean the building will be gradual and the decisions will be thoughtful. It doesn't mean they're not prepared to spend a shit-ton of money when needed. I don't know much about PSG's story, but I think Man City is a good comparison. They have been smart and they have a great organisation, but it doesn't mean they don't use their finances to outmuscle people. When they needed to spend £150m+ on fullbacks to get the right one, they went out and did it.

He has to have a chance if he’s the best performing English LB in the league for the first half of the season. Depends on how comfortable Southgate is with playing Trippier there I suppose. And if Chilwell makes any kind of comeback.

Honestly think he’s my favourite ever newcastle player behind Shearer. Just a shame it’s along with the tragedy that it never worked out for him. He was actually at exactly the right club to become a superstar. Just with the wrong owner and managers.

The players are pretty strong in their teams like, and this is the most technically gifted generation we’ve maybe ever had. Of course the likes of De Bruyne are the best players in their clubs, but those other players don’t all come from the same country.

I don’t, that would mean admitting he’s good.

At all stages, as long as you don’t mind other points of view.

If he’s going to be our Vincent Kompany we should just make it rain cash. No guarantees of course.

Think it’s hard to assess Richalison because Everton have been bad for ages. I remember a time when I thought he was good.

Nobody knows.

Jurgen Klinsmann, not sure why I started following him but I just found him a really great player to watch. Scored all sorts of goals and moved very elegantly around the pitch. Andy Cole for Newcastle, my class at school was actually stopped when he was sold so we could find out if it was true on the radio Taking the Cole poster down was painful.

Different position.

I don’t mind Fun88 now it doesn’t create a big number 4 on the front of every kit. Guess showing a Saudi oil company is better than a Chinese gambling firm, but not sure there’s that much in it. I am keen for everything Ashley-related to be gone mind.

Better to liquidate the club. I’m not even joking.

Had no idea, something I should probably have known

They can’t screen games that aren’t on TV though can they?

I think I’ll have to leave Newcastle if I can’t get a ticket next season. Wouldn’t be able to handle it.
