media go on about spending £90m+ in january but dont mention we havent been playing our most expensive signing and that the 3 best players in out squad have been injured. its the old team plus dan burn and targett.

been really good and there has been a noticeable improvement in his attitude and effort.

howe's done a "rafa" - created a defensive unit and done it in a way that injuries/suspensions dont create chaos. just brings in another player to take their place. even the loss of trippier, manquillo and targett at various times hasnt caused us too many probelms.

to whoever at villa thought of signing Digne and shipping out their player of the year - a great big thank you.

Amanda Staveley confirms Sven Botman is keen on Newcastle United move and talks transfers The co-owner has broken her silence after the transfer window nechronicle Amanda Staveley says that £50million-rated defender Sven Botman is still keen to join the club in the summer from Lille. Chronicle Live reported on February 17 that the Ripon financier was still eager to bring the talented Dutch star to Tyneside despite being rejected in the January window. Speaking to the Athletic , Staveley said: "We were 19th going into the window. "So we had that, an illiquid market, and the complexity of COVID-19, which meant clubs didn’t want to sell because they didn’t know where their squads would end up. "We had to encourage players – ‘we’ll be a safe place for you, we’ll deliver and grow’. "Some desperately wanted to come to us, like Sven (Botman), who still does very much and has talked very openly about that. "Coming through all that showed us we can do it, that we can stick to our plan and if we get criticised on the last day for ‘oh, you’re going after Jesse (Lingard)’, well, Jesse wanted to come to us. "We did everything. We never stopped. From the start to the finish, we did not stop working."

This summer is going to be important for us. "Are we going to bring in five players, two players, one? We don’t know. "We’ll look at what the squad requires, we’ll look at the market and act accordingly. "We don’t have any limitations in terms of what we can do until we hit FFP. We want to create a sustainable club."

might be a giggs, but amanda saying he's still desperate to join.

is this dude back in france? seems so on instagram.

really need to win this even if it means losing the next one. think win/loss is better than draw/win in our next 2 games.

supporting manu tomorrow

i'm tired. off to bed.

bruno in for wood, willock up front????

could be a case of 3 from 7 teams to go down by the end of next weekend instead of the 3 from 4 we have now.

think they're tiring. thats why the likes of the "big 4" usually end up top 4. size and quality of squad. west ham still in ewrup?

did i miss something here? wtf.

jose

the fella at 15mins 55secs man.

would have been better playing on the right.

Amanda loves the toon but i think judging by his tweets over recent weeks, and jamie reuben;s today, that Mehrdad has completely lost the plot for this club. we seem to have really gotten under his skin. just brilliant.

he's not very good is he? the very occasional flick on and the even less frequent hold it up and lay it off. not really suited to the modern game. really hope he turns it round as seems a canny lad.

big friendly giant he aint. blokes a cunt. so happy we signed him.

first start in ages, away from home. did alreet. always offered himself as an outlet down the left.

does graham jones still exist?

you owld git! forgotten all about that. cannit get the song out me head now!!!!!
