Die in a fire Peter Bankes you utter utter cunt

Christs sake, get your head up Joe.

Elanga is fucking crap, why does he constantly club every cross miles over the box?

He's just made a fucking awful mistake against Arsenal Verbruggen

Even if Ramsdale is chod (likely) I admire the move of taking Pope out after the last handful of games.

Please let that just be lazy journalism along the lines of "they tried to shop in the PL loads last time". Seems a good keeper from my relatively limited exposure to him but would cost a bloody fortune from a club famously good at selling for mega fees and there's a hell of a lot to do with the rest of the squad this summer.

Wolves have got an alright run-in, shame for them they didn't get Edwards in a bit earlier as they probably could have made a real fist of it. Brentford, West Ham, Leeds, Spurs, Sunderland, Brighton, Fulham, Burnley left to play for them. All winnable really.

Shert pull?!

Both great finishes

Targett again

The Shermanator bags for Boro, for some reason running through at centre forward

Would be happy if we could just not concede 2 or more for a change. 2-3

Went to look at the table so I could laugh at Spurs and realised we're fucking 14th as it stands.

Don't get me wrong, he's a huge problem at the minute, but the amount of focus and heat he's getting in the media is annoying me a lot. If you want to talk about Newcastle, why not talk about us routinely conceding 2+ goals every fucking home game? Because that's a far bigger problem than Woltemade right now and doesn't seem to get a mention.

Loves talking about mentality and posting Nietzsche quotes on Instagram, but can't be arsed to shake himself into a performance against his former club in a boring old 3pm Premier League game. Man U is on the telly this Wednesday so if we're lucky he might try a bit for that one. He'll be happy with the season if we end up winning nowt and not in Europe because he's been able to flat track bully his way to a bunch of pens against sub-standard opposition and be seen as a big Champions League goalscorer. Really hope we take big money off someone this summer for him.

Good at pointing, chewing and light jogging. Shit at football.

It'll be Dean Henderson, think he's just about the only PL English keeper we've not signed or tried to sign or who isn't Pickford.

It's a confidence problem that he keeps hitting every corner into the first man. He's actually a world beater and it's the crowd's fault for not being delighted with him.

Maybe a free kick, didn't look out on first viewing to me though. Then again like you say that lino was so shit you'd be inclined to think if he said it was in that it was out.

Saturday 3pm kickoff against his old side, he was never going to try a leg today. Saving himself for City and Barca.

err... Beto in the second half hitting the bar Agree with your point in general though tbf.

I wouldn't get rid of him, now or in the summer. Today was crap though, similar to Brentford in that it was just a total mess with soft goals pissed away. There are far too many players letting him down. He needs to be super ruthless this summer moving on some of the old guard who've been brilliant for us but just aren't cutting it any more - Trippier, Joelinton, Willock, Pope and Murphy are top of that list. There's also Gordon and Tonali who have been poor and are prime candidates to fund a rebuild. Hopefully a properly organised window with the right structure where we can make some good moves and a bit of actual time off this summer for Eddie will allow him to come back refreshed, have a proper pre-season to implement things and put together a more consistent campaign in the league next year. As for this season, we may as well go all in on the cups now, the players clearly just aren't as arsed about the league despite what he keeps saying in press conferences about how desperate he/they are to improve things. That all said. The mentality of the side, giving away soft as shite goals all the time and constantly conceding within minutes of scoring a goal is a fucking shambles this season and that has to be down to him as much as the players. He keeps saying we'll learn from it and we never do. Next time we get into a European competition of any kind, he needs to demonstrate an improved ability to juggle the schedule. He can't keep saying "we don't get any training time, that's why" for ever. It's magnified this season by the late loss of Isak and needing to bed in new signings lately on and I'm sympathetic of it. And finally - please, please, stop targeting so many athletes and find a few lads who can pass the fucking ball this summer. The collective technical ability of this team is absolutely honking when you consider the money spent on it. He's still the man for us, no doubt, but there's some room for improvement and he shouldn't be above criticism.

How can we keep on conceding this quickly after scoring? Fucking disgraceful.

Not good enough this.
