    Yes 100%. Been up for it game in and out, setting the pace come rain or shine. I can't think of a game where he hasn't been among our top 3 performers.

    He tries to give 110% every game. Humble lad too.

    Be some window if we got Sesko, Gibbs-White and Kelly. Keep Bruno and Isak and we will be pushing top 4 next season. 

    Keep the injury list down to a “normal” level and we’ll be challenging for top 4 :indi:

    Tottenham can be overtaken by Newcastle United – It really is on

     

    Tottenham got lucky on Saturday.

    Newcastle United won 4-0 but it could and should have been so much worse for the boys from North London.

    After Werner cleared the Gallowgate End early on, Tottenham never really created anything much of note, despite dominating the possession.

    That dominant possession mainly involving the goalkeeper wondering what on earth should I do, as United’s high press stopped them easily playing out, then when they were forced to eventually try and play it long when pressed, the Newcastle midfielders and defenders simply too powerful and wanting it more.

    A great victory for Newcastle but still in reality a glass ceiling of no higher than sixth place possible.

    Or is it…?

    with only six matches remaining for each of the two clubs, Tottenham 10 points higher, though Newcastle have a one goal better goal difference.

    Tottenham have had an interesting season, everything fell right for them as they picked up 26 points in their opening 10 matches and were top of the table. Incredible luck I thought at the time as they looked decent but nothing special to me, that luck summed up by the shocking (but hilarious!) error by match officials that gifted them the win over Liverpool at the end of September.

    The next seven months though after that victory over Liverpool, Tottenham have won Premier League matches against the following Premier League clubs:

    Luton (x2), Forest (x2), Everton, Brentford, Palace (x2), Bournemouth, Fulham, Brighton, Newcastle, Villa

    So 13 PL wins since that fluked September 2023 one over Liverpool BUT 10 of these 13 wins have been against clubs who are now bottom nine in the table as we near the end of the season.

    Tottenham have been flat track bullies, pretty much entirely relying on wins against the weakest teams.

    The three exceptions in these near seven months were a win over a very inconsistent Brighton who are only just clinging on to top half now, Tottenham caught Newcastle at our weakest possible time as Nick Pope was added to the injury list in early December, then a freak 4-0 at Villa where everything went wrong for the home side and the opposite for Tottenham.

    To sum up these past near seven months, Tottenham have been nothing special, which maybe makes it a bit less of a surprise as to why Newcastle battered them on Saturday. Spurs also won only one of three domestic cup matches this season and that was against second bottom of the Premier League, Burnley.

    So with 10 points between the two clubs and only 18 points each to play for, could Newcastle United really catch Tottenham and finish fifth?

    Well Newcastle United showed on Saturday what they are capable of even without 13 first team squad players not available as starters, plus an 11 days gap between games, with the prospect of some really big players potentially back very soon.

    The way the fixtures have worked out as well, Newcastle with what looks the easiest of all on paper in terms of remaining matches, Tottenham the exact opposite.

    It's actually some stupid hand gesture "invented" by an online streamer by the name of "Sketch", who looks a total wrong'un. All the big American sports stars are doing it now for some unknown reason. It's supposed to mean "What's up, brother."

    If he goes I think that’d be us needing to sell for FFP should a huge offer come in. He’s got a young family, knows he’s loved and has a genuine relationship with the players and management.

     

    I can’t see him pushing for a move. My tip off about Big Jo signing his extension came via Bruno (I’ve a non football, very occasional, but cast iron link). I’m told Bruno seemed made up about Jo ‘s contract so it’d be a bit of surprise if he then pushed for a move himself. 

    He won’t, not for the foreseeable. Let’s enjoy him for at least next season :indi:

    Bruno Guimaraes drops new Newcastle hint during interview with Brazilian media

    April 14, 2024 Andrew Reynolds

     

    In an interview with Globo Esporte , Bruno Guimaraes has claimed that he is ‘100%’ focused on Newcastle, happy on Tyneside and determined to get us back into Europe next season.

    There have been many questions about his future ahead of the summer window, but the midfielder is only thinking about one club and reaffirmed just how happy he and his family are in the North East.

    The Brazilian international very recently made his 100th appearance for the club and was ‘very happy’ to have achieved such a huge milestone in the English game, hinting that there’s also ‘many more to come.’

    “I have no thoughts of the future. The present holds 100% of my attention”, he said. “I’m very focused on that, on maintaining this dream of the club qualifying for a European competition. I’m happy and I’m happy here. And that’s what I’ve dedicated myself to 100% since I signed for the club.”

    “I think every player dreams of playing in the Premier League, and to be completing 100 games for an English team is undoubtedly something that makes me very happy, very fulfilled. There are many more to come, but this milestone is very important.”

    On the injuries, Bruno added: “There are a lot of injuries, punishments for some players, surgeries for some of them… it’s the season I’ve been playing the most. I’ve only missed one match. It’s a different season, I’d say. But I still think we can end it in the best possible way, by winning a place in the Conference League, or the Europa League, or maybe the Champions League, however difficult it may be. But I think we have to get the club into Europe again.”

    While it’s definitely a possibility that the 26-year-old could be moved on in the summer, his passion for the club and desire to succeed in black and white is clear for all to see.
