Man of the match yesterday for me. Proves we can rely on him for next season.

Murphy needs subbed at half time.

You don’t see a finish like that very often. Absolute class by Mbappe. He’s gonna link up well with Chris Wood next season.

Bargain for a good quality PL player at 26 years of age.

This is beautiful. I so wish Everton go down. Btw I really like Kulusevski. Just does the simple things effectively.

He has zero assists and zero goals in seven games. I’m not saying he can’t do it, he just isn’t good at it.

Great win but we let them have way too much of the ball. None of the midfield three had a good game so no excuse not to start Bruno agaist Southampton. Fraser was great and Schar to an extent too. On a negative note - Wood is an absolute travesty of a footballer. Offers nothing. Actually can’t remember him even being close to scoring a goal since he came and his hold up and link up play is not good. Can’t wait to see us with a proper striker.

I genuinely thought he couldn’t play in a PL back four. I was dead wrong. Compliments Burn well. This is another one that has to be handed to Howe.

Voted for Watford and Norwich and Everton as a wildcard. More wishful thinking than anything else. They might get a spanking agains City next weekend and could crumble after that. It’ll probably be Brentford tho.

VAR fucking blows

Fredericks is fucking shite. Such a shame ASM isn’t out there tormenting him.

A defining feature of a good manager is the ability to make seemingly mediocre players play at their highest potential of ability. We saw it regularly with Benítez and so so often with SAF. Looking back he somehow managed to win the league routinely at a canter with players like O'Shea, Fortune, Cleverley and Anderson often playing key roles. Has to be handed to Howe, this transformation is amazing and is a testament to his ability.

Leaving aside me being a fan and speaking as an urban planner and a non Newcastle resident - SJP is unique in most every sense. I can’t belive this is even being discussed. It’s a defining monument for the city itself and the club. How it’s weaved into the fabric of the city and rests so beautifully on a hilltop visible from everywhere - from the outside looking in, this is almost unbeatable. It really gives a sense of what NUFC means to the community and the city in general. It should be a core tenet of the club and the city moving forward.

Would like Bruno to start this. We need confidence on the ball when Trippier's out. Most of ours are quite scared of receiving the ball under pressure.

1. CB. Hopefully Botman can become a kind of a legacy player like Kompany at City. 2. ST. Schick looks good. Can't say about other options. 3. RW. Ismaila Sarr or Raphinha. I like Fraser but I'd like him more as a back up player. 4. LB. Get Targett in. This would be a great window for me. Other additions absolutely welcome like another CB or a defensive midfielder but not critical.

Very solid. Probably gives ASM a better platform for him to do his sorcery. Even chipped in with a good cross. Shame it went to the smallest man in the PL.

Can't believe we've managed to sign him. Brings absolutely everything to the fold we needed - leadership, set pieces, crossing, tackling and just lifts everyone around him to another level. You can really see how the other players look up to him and try to find him whenever. Like he relishes having the ball under pressure. Boy did we need that. And it seems Bruno brings similar elements to the fold. We've had too many players scared of having the ball under pressure. Massive big dick energy.

I’m not sure if we’ve had a player of Trippier’s quality in 15+ years. He’s like a safe box, his teammates try to find him where- and whenever because they know the ball is in good custody with him.

Joelinton you donkey

Hope the girl gets all the support and protection she can get. Truly awful.

Dan Burn and Eddie Nketiah are very much Bournemouth type signings. Not very inspiring but will probably do a job.

If Burnely wind up with Origi and we with Wood we'll have an egg on our face. If Origi becomes available we should be all over that.

Just looked through who Everton have signed the last few seasons. Dear me. Looks like they spent almost 100 million on Iwobi, Walcott and Gbamin (who?). You can't really fault them for trying. They've also had two managers recently in the world class bracket but fuck me their recruitment is abysmal. Really seems they have a preference in buying from other PL clubs.

Couldn't care less about him if Bruno arrives. Would have preferred van de Beek put he seems shy of a challenge. Not what we need.

Would he be better suited to partnering Lascelles or Schar?
