Yikes. Can’t beat these twats at all.

Ref’s a nightmare. Twat.

That’s right at you, Dubs ffs.

Ugh, again.

Hb mate all the best!

Got my brothers in the posh box seats for this, so I’m paying over 600 quid to be sad today .

Happy birthday to me. Fml.

Ugh.

Not a lot of sexy names but Bournemouth have a very good team.

Honestly, with the right attributes and mentality Howe and co. can turn water into wine when it comes to players. Psr aside; I’ve loved what we’ve been doing previously in terms of transfers.

If we have 60 odd million (no idea if we would tbh) to spend in the summer it’ll be spread across at least 2 positions. Without sales, I don’t imagine we have the headroom to be making 50m signings unless new commercial deals materialize. PSR sucks.

Oh so now people like Mbuemo. Feel like he’s finally getting his flowers this season after being criminally underrated for ages.

If your wingers aren’t losing the ball once or twice during a match they’re not taking enough risks. Such a unique mix of pace, work-rate and winners’ mentality. Love him.

More like lowlights amirite

Big clubs get these decisions. Have we arrived?

One of my favourite ever Newcastle players, this guy.

Tbf the only right wingers with more assists than Murphy in the league are Salah and Saka.

The funny thing is Elanga would be doing numbers in other less physical leagues on the continent. Great work-rate, lightning speed, good weak foot; i get that many want someone with more technical ability but he’s an Eddie Howe winger through and through. You pay a premium for PL players because you know what they can do in this league. I’m not saying we should shell out 50m but anything less than 40m would be decent business imo.

Not sure why people here hate on Elanga so much. Agree the prices being thrown around for him last summer were a bit mad but he’s a very decent player in the right set up.

Penalties or replay if we’re even after full time?

Kind of, but no where near as good imo

I hate Cherki, man. Such a wanker and the complete antithesis to a Howe player. No chance we’re in for him. He’ll be end up being an inconsistent cult favourite for some middle table prem club.

Yep, I didn’t think he had the press-resistance for the role but regardless if he does or not he moves the ball so quickly and efficiently it doesn’t really matter. His athleticism on transition makes him a slightly better fit than Bruno there as well.

who was playing in this 5-5-0 formation?

Besides the goals, how’ve we been playing?
