Ben Arfa was a FIFA Street player. Absolutely wildly talented and effective on a team of 1. Loved the kid but noticeably got nowhere of note in his career because he simply didn't fit any given teams mould. Bruno could fit a multitude of teams and win things. Pointless comparing tbh. Two different types of player and yet Bruno still (I guess) comes out with equal or more goals and assists.* *Ts and Cs apply #HalfCut

We will be a force to be reckoned with. Domestic cup next year is well and truly on the cards.

Gone from absolutely hating this kid to loving him like. He's seemingly come on leaps and bounds as a footballer and a person since arriving here which is a testament to Eddie Howe. What a fantastic interview post match.

Hi mate, feel free to drop me a message on here or just DM the Wor Flags group on Twitter or such like if you're ever free and available to assist. We have voluntary groups set up on WhatsApp for those who cannot assist quite as often and then once folk have been in there a while/have contributed a lot more regularly we look at putting them in the main group. Always happy to have volunteers as it thins the workload out for the rest of us, potentially allowing us to manage/coordinate the display as a whole.

Spurs lose on Sunday. Let's get at ManUre and run them fucking ragged.

The assist of the assist?

Not if Chelsea don't though...

Quite conceivable that Brighton beat Chelsea and Man United or at least don't lose both. Also quite conceivable that we don't lose either of our two games. For me it comes down to us and Chelsea next Sunday.

Man United needs a mass overhaul still for me like. A full scale review of the club from top to bottom with a strong manager with a clear identity who is going to stick around and be allowed to stick around. Mad thing is, they've probably thought this with precious appointments since Sir Alex Ferguson. Just seems a very disjointed club to me.

It's more must not lose really.

Just get at these fuckers. Show we want it more.

As is often the case, 'lesser' sides seem to have less prominent identity to the way they play because naturally it's about stopping the opposition primarily. It just feels alien that, that's Man United nowadays to me. Today felt more like a Man United away game the way they played, not home. Old Trafford just isn't feared anymore.

Aye, I hadn't realised he was so young to be fair. If he gets his decision making right he might be able to lace Gordon's boots at least Jokes aside though, I don't really watch other sides all that match but watched today. Man United have fallen right off like haven't they?! And yet, they'll still be in a cup final in a fortnight or so...

I don't watch Man United very often but Garnacho looks a very frustrating player to me (based on today). Very good in a one on one situation and makes things happen but decision making and quality in the final third seemingly let him down. He seems a far more instinctive player.

Exactly. It's just like needless sensationalism. I think it was John Gwynn who used to commentate on radio 5 live and he could honestly make beanals on toast sound like a 5 star meal. He was absolutely class. Then you hear these muppets on here.

Possibly but it's absolutely irrelevant still.

Stats. Pointless. Stats. 4minutes into the game between Man United and Arsenal a stat of 88% of the first half had been played in Man Uniteds first third. 4minutes in. What the actual fuck is that all about. At half time "Arsenal have never led at Old Trafford at half time in the Premier League and twice when they took the lead in the Premier League they didn't win. So fucking what man. It holds absolutely 0 bearing on today's game you whoppers.

Great footage. Except the one where I run all the way through and put a 1 on 1 wide

Quality goal this was by the way

Cheers mate. It's sometimes hard to actually accept players making positive comments as you get a cynical feeling of "they have to say that about their own fans" but I truly hope it's genuine for the most part and they generally feel the love and support they receive here. When Newcastle is on the move it's unstoppable. It's just overcoming it's initial inertia that is the difficult part

Really appreciate it mate! I've said it before and apologies for maybe sounding a reet wet wipe but what the group achieves is nothing short of remarkable and it is entirely down to dedication and hard work. Internally, we're aware of improvements we can make and we're going to be attempting to make them this next 6months or so, (I hope!) to maximise efficiency and remove wasted time etc. It is almost a never ending process at present but hopefully going into the new season we will be able to achieve the same through less effort. That will make it more enjoyable for the group and sociable. However, I really cannot compliment the group enough. They're almost all working men and women apart from one or two retirees, some with their own businesses and a fair few with young families. The time and effort that goes into the operation is nothing short of phenomenal, and of course, we couldn't do it without the physical or monetary contributions of the Newcastle United support. They're just a bunch of really, really good people with good core values and a shared and common goal at the end of what they do.

Probably but I honestly don't think it'd be hard for them to sort without giving too much away.

This process has been with the club for years now. We keep pushing.

Just to avoid any further confusion we deconstructed the old badge and put the castle in one end and magpie in the other with a little bit of artistic licence. Should have done the two ends the opposite way around in hindsight but hey ho, we know for next time. Still thought it looked great personally (but obviously I am biased). Probably not our best but good!

Cheers mate
