This is the side Spurs put out in the last round fwiw

Just re-watching the cup final. Fuck me, what a performance this bloke put in. Thank god he didn’t have to go off injured.

For me he’s above Shearer, and I’d never thought I’d ever say that about a player. I’ve never seen anybody, with absolutely no connection to us before signing, embrace the club, culture and city as much as he has. Plus, he won us a cup. He’s immortal (unless he fucks off to Liverpool).

Think we’ll see Krafth, Ashby, Targett, Lascelles and Willock depart. TBC on Ramsdale, Trippier and Schar. We’ll need to sign a a couple of full backs, a CB if Schar goes and a keeper. Can see us going in for Anderson if he’s available, if not then a creative midfielder of some variety.

Surprised if it’s over 25k tbh.

Ramsdale Krafth Schar Thiaw Burn Miley Tonali Ramsey Elanga Osula Barnes Pope, Botman, Hall, Bruno, Willock, Joelinton, Murphy, Gordon, Woltemade

How the fuck this lad doesn’t make the Germany squad is beyond me. Absolute colossus.

A purple.

Any chance one of the three billion fouls on big Nick could have a free kick given? Cheers.

It’s weird hearing people say the Gallowgate was good because I was up in L7 corner and thought the atmosphere up there was good but I didn’t hear a peep from the rest of the ground all night. Just shows how shit the acoustics are and how poorly sound travels in SJP. Can fully understand the away fans singing “where’s your famous atmosphere?” because the whole of the lower bowl sounded dead from where I was.

Less Champions League assists than Nick Pope.

One of our greatest ever signings, so willing to cut him a bit of slack for the odd misplaced pass. Probably his last season as a first team regular as no doubt we’ll go big on a fullback at some point in the next two windows.

@Heron That is just perfect. Wor Flags knocking it out of the park once again.

Looks like Benfica don’t land in Newcastle until 6.30pm tonight, so seems like they won’t be training at SJP today.

Same referee as PSG away

Pope Trippier Schar Botman Burn Bruno Tonali Miley Murphy Woltemade Gordon Ramsdale, Krafth, Thiaw, Ramsey, Willock, Joelinton, Elanga, Barnes, Osula Feel like as well as Thiaw has done, Fab deserves a game back in the team for this. A little rest for Thiaw wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world with such a packed fixture list coming up. Joelinton clearly needs a break too and we were much better with Miley on Saturday.

We got Champions League last year and didn’t win this game, so I don’t subscribe at all that this is must win to get top 5.

Similar time to Tino. Gotta hope Trippier and Burn can do the job for a few weeks then.

You’re looking £80m+ for him now. He’ll have his pick of the cartel this summer if we don’t make a move for him.

Chris Waugh said on PoTT that he started on Sunday and has been working this week, so no notice period.

Speaks well in this. Seems much more grounded than Mitchell ever was, and can see why Howe would have a good working relationship with him.

Playing on Sky Sports now. 1-0 up away at Mansfield after 4 mins. Naeve just ran the length of the field with the ball unchallenged

Remember when they said the ballot success rate was about 30%

JDT sacked now.
