Doctor Zaius

I'd take Phillips on loan. Think City would be happy for him to get some game time as nobody is going to touch him right now. Phillips is desperate for minutes ahead of the Euros and he'd fit our style I think. Think it works well for all parties.

This is it. I love singing at the match. In an away end I'll sing as loud as I can. Like fuck am i going to be the only one singing in level 7 though. I think most people are like that. Safe standing in all four corners would be class. Or at least two singing sections. Its hard to sing when you're sat down too really. Unfortunately, with the demand for tickets being so high and those at the club who's remit is solely to improve things commercially, Im not sure things will change. If those running the club had sense though, they'd understand that a good atmosphere and a bouncing SJP makes the club more attractive, actually improves the image of the club and helps us win more games. The way the club are approaching things is short sighted tbh.

Unlimited membership is an issue. "Oh Newcastle are playing PSG and Dortmund, I fancy that, I'll sign up and join the ballot" "Oh I'd like to a see a semi final, I'll sign up for membership and join the ballot" Membership should have went off sale as soon as a ball was kicked this season. You knew whether you were going to watch a game or not before the season started, not just because we drew Dortmund. The club has done fuck all for touting too but made it worse. If you really must buy off a tout, and I don't really blame people for it, I've done it before, do everyone a favour and report whoever's name is on the ticket post match.

Silverstone and Eales have a lot to answer for

Joelinton needs to be breaking his neck to get back for that goal. Nowhere near good enough that like.

Miss Isaks dynamism big time. When he drops deep and joins in with build up play we create better chances. Wilson plays on the shoulder and doesn't particularly hold the ball up well. We'll struggle for chances with him up top I think. They've done us on the counter several times. Poor of Gordon to lose it there.

How in the fuck was that not looked at. Stupid fucking cunts

12 point deduction for breaking FFP when it's geared entirely towards the big clubs is a pisstake. It's absolutely no shock that the 'lesser' teams that have had a go at the top 6, have ended up financially fucked when it doesn't work out. Everton, Wolves and Leicester. Try and break the "big 6" at your peril. If it's doesn't work out, you'll be allowed to spend fuck all and relegation beckons. Utterly corrupt league like.

Boro winning again, Carrick made them into one of the best teams in the league, then one of the worst and now they're back in the playoffs having been in the bottom 3 a few weeks ago. Bizzare.

Reiterate what others are saying @Isaak You wont be able to hop off the train at Hexham and straight into an uber. You'll probably have to pre book a taxi from Hexham to Carlisle for when you arrive at Hexham. I reckon you're looking at £90+ for that. Thats providing the train isnt cancelled too. Your best bet is to sack off Carlisle and book at hotel in Newcastle after the game. Then you can get an early train to the Lake district. It depends where you're staying in the lakes but you could be in Oxenholme, Kendal, Windemere early enough from Newcastle the next day. If you're dead set on staying in Carlisle, call a Hexham/Carlisle taxi firm and arrange for them to be waiting for when you get off your train in Hexham - they will definitely do this if its pre arranged. Worst comes to worst, there are hotels in both Newcastle and Hexham (travelodge) you can walk in to so you'll not actually be on the streets for the night. Dont get off the train at Hexham expecting a taxi/uber though, you'll have to pre book it.

Murphy unlucky to miss out but I think Howe will stick to his 'rotation' plan with Almiron and Isak coming back in. Fear us underestimating these a bit. Won their last five in the Bundesliga.

Lad next to me fucked off on about 40 mins and came back at about 50 mins. Was on his phone loads in the second half too. Looked up a few times to whine about players. Called Lascelles a donkey at one point. The sooner these lot fuck off the better. Waste of a ticket.

Pathetic from the club imo

Enjoyed yesterday, good to meet some new people and see some familiar faces ?

Jacob Murphy was brilliant like. Delighted for him. Thought Bruno played well. Trippier is one of our best ever players like, so good. What a player Fabian Schar is too. I would maybe have liked to see Hall on and Livramento earlier given we were coasting. Palace were so bad though. Literally nothing up top. With Zaha gone, you can tell Olise and Eze are big misses. Guehi was poor and Mitchell woeful too.

Looking like brutal weather. Best of luck, see you's after ?

Wish this cunt had stayed in Milan like

Absolute surrender. Fucking 4-1 in the tie at one point. Sporting was worse but this was bad. Also, 28k attendance for a UEFA Cup R16 game. Didnt know we were born.

I understand gambling addiction is terrible and absolutely should be treat with the same gravity that we treat other addictions but fuck me, betting on your own team is absolutely moronic. If he's banned for a year, that's a big problem for us. If Milan knew, that's a lengthy legal battle. If he's out for a year, were back to the same issue we had with midfield last year, despite spending 60m on a midfielder.

Banned from football why? If he hasnt bet on football, surely its fuck all to do with football so he shouldnt be banned at all.

"Foods shite" Wonder if he'll play this weekend. Think he'll go Longstaff, Jo, Bruno v Palace and Tonali in for one of them V Dortmund. Id do it the other way round though.

Can the FA even ban him if he wasnt playing here at the time?

Yep. I think we'll go big on a right sided forward who will slot straight in, and a centre half who will have to bide his time. We should be signing players with a view to them being in the first choice XI, not as backup. Id stay clear of ESR though.

Thought he'd did tremendously well today given he had little support.
