To tune of Jamie T - Zombie He's a big bad centre mid, comes from Italy He's world class, top quality It's Ton-aliiiiiiiiiiii, it's Ton-aliiiiiiiiiiiiii

Feel like everyone who said O'Neil deserved to be mentioned in the (outside) running for Manager of the Year is now nodding along with the decision to pot him, which is a bit odd. I'm in the same position tbf If they've got a big big upgrade incoming then it's entirely understandable like. O'Neil will definitely get another crack at a Championship job soon as a minimum you'd think.

This would be an absolutely fucking incredible signing. He's top drawer, £50m feels like an absolute snip.

This. 15 years of Ashley and I can only pick out Humphrey, Colin Murray and maybe in the latter years Carragher who seemed to genuinely grasp our situation and put it forwards properly on their shows. If we're going to give shit to pundits or presenters let it be cunts like Keys, Rio, Jenas, Merson, Jamie Redknapp et al who defended Ashley to the hilt and said "it's his club and if he wants to run it on a shoestring then that's up to him and they should accept it". There's videos of Humphrey directly challenging that attitude on BT.

It's a great resource for old match reports, stats, archives etc. but agreed they don't seem to be genuinely in the know very often. Still remember they were adamant we were signing Edmilson under Big Sam despite him having a 9-month injury weeks earlier.

Hope Moyes boys beat these cheating forrins like. Disgraceful

I'd love Ayoze back on a one or two year deal like.

I probably phrased that badly. He's "on the up" i.e Spurs would be by far the biggest job he's ever had. Unlike Conte and Jose before him.

Feel like it'll go wrong as he's an up and coming who should be grateful for the job, he'll have to endure Levy's ridiculous conditions and won't be able to do the job properly.

Referees in general especially in the PL are fucking shit and there needs to be more accountability, transparency and quality in what they do for sure. However, those scenes in the airport go way too far over the line. Nothing wrong with airing your frustrations at the ref from your seat in the ground, and as I say there should be better systems in place to reprimand or penalise a referee who consistently makes bad decisions, but once he leaves the stadium he should be able to feel completely secure of his safety and that of his family without question.

I can still remember the early days of the first pandemic lockdown where I'd eagerly await POTT as it would contain the latest "no red flags" titbits from Caulkin; but listening to him and Taylor Payne talking about having sausages for tea and calling Chris Waugh "Private Waffles" or whatever was excruciatingly bad. I get that at the time there wasn't a right lot to talk about as nowt was happening but I never went back to it once there were other reputable takeover news sources.

Status Quo - Rocking All Over The World Here we go here we go here we go Newcastle United are on a roll-llll Eddie and Jason Tindalllll And I like it I like it I like it I like it I liiiiike it Eddie and Jason Tindalllll Heard it earlier this season I think, can't remember when.

Another feather in the cap of Dyche as a manager. Remains to be seen how he gets on next season but if he can steer Everton to a Palace-style 'no threat of going down but not threatening the European spots' 11-14th season whilst starting to sort out their squad it'd be just what the doctor ordered.

Looked good when he came on. He's got quite the stature and physicality for a 17-year old [insertschofieldhere].

Former NUFC assistant manager Paul Simpson just got Carlisle promoted (was part of McClaren's staff) - fantastic achievement. Paul Huntington at the centre of defence too!

Ribeye, it was really good like. If you want a really good steak - Gauchos.

Mark Gillespie in Gauchos tonight.

£55m and £300k p/w for Mason Nowt

I'd pull out all the stops for Ferguson from Brighton and Jacob Ramsey from Villa. Probably talking best part of £100m the pair like. Also wouldn't be averse to Brennan Johnson as a third striking option, or Lavia from Southampton for the midfield option.

Thought he didn't look out of place which can only be a good thing. Nice end to the season for him.

Loads of "Newcastle United established 2021 into the Champions League" craic from these sad, pathetic losers I thought we were founded in 1992, anyway?

Great to have him back, thought he was excellent as per.

So, so impressive with the concentration levels displayed at the death there. He could have taken a library book out there with him tonight, but to be alert to make that save is the sign of a top, top keeper.

What a bloody ordeal that nearly was What an achievement

Sean Longstaff for me has played out of his skin all season and has been the flag bearer for the intensity, the press, the style of play and has enabled the likes of Bruno et al to shine. And when he's been out of the side we've not quite looked the same. Honestly, the levels the guy has hit consistently have been fucking incredible and whilst I feel this may be a slightly different view on things, I can't look past him on this. Could give an honourable mention to virtually the whole first XI but that's my pick anyway.
