Signing Ramsey would be putting us on the Everton track rather than Man City track. Avoid at all costs.

This is the reason we are going down, it doesn’t matter what improvements Howe may make individual errors are costing us goals every game. We’ve had 2 in the first 5 mins.

This is awful, can’t string 2 passes together.

Interesting discussion, it’s the location that’s hallowed for me not the current construction. I’d take a 60,000 modern ground that utilises innovative architectural planning to keep us at the same spot than a 75,000 super stadium on the outskirts of the city.

First went in mid-80s when the old wooden West Stand was still there, stood in the Scoreboard mainly then moved over to the Leazes around the time of Ozzy's team and was in the Leazes for Keegan's return against Bristol City and for the Pompey game. As the ground's changed so much I've got no real attachment to the current iteration, happy for them to tear it down and start again. Hopefully we can stay on the same site or a short move to Leazes Park.

Both (Fun88 and Castore) still on the website.

Willock tackling like Colback.

The designs are great, the sizing is all over the place; it would help if they were designed for human beings.

How many managers have learned the hard way about Darlow? He does a job but you ALWAYS play Dubs if he is fit.

As someone who has sailed up the Tyne on a Royal Navy destroyer I respectfully beg to differ.

Not much fun with a hangover, that's for sure.

Beat Brentford and the likelihood is we’ll only be 2 points from safety and then it’s game on.

Not a brain cell in that team.

If the richest club in the world can’t satisfy Howe’s backroom requirements it’s doubtful he’ll ever find another job.

Slightly disappointed after the euphoria of the takeover but keen to see him take the reins and see what he can do. Also put £15 on at 20-1 so that will be a nice sweetener going into the weekend.

Actually met Ashley outside the Emirates during the infamous pint-necking game against Arsenal which was Keegan’s last natch. He was moaning about how there’s no value in the transfer market. Knew straight away he was a wrong-un.

There was 12 of us an we were making a lot of noise before the game so attracted quite a bit of attention.

Seen Vasco in Rio. Locals thought we were English football hooligans and made us stand next to them. After the match they invited us to a punch up with some Flamengo fans. We made our excuses and left…..

Waiting - did you not get the memo?

Actually you’re right, he was bought as a critical piece of the jigsaw which is the progressive and talented team that Ashley has been painstakingly assembling for several seasons.

He was bought to sell on anyway, nothing really to see here.

Not sure what I was expecting but this is utter shite.

Before the useless waste of spunk Bruces’s luck ran out this was the type of game he’d get a win just as it seemed he was done for. Let’s see if Miggy or someone can pull the fat bell end out of his own shit.

Hamann, Wijnaldum.

I remember it being widely accepted it was Jones’ system at the time to be fair. Just because it’s not getting the results anymore doesn’t mean ownership of it can change to Bruce to fit the current agenda. Bruce is the manager, no one really knows what input Jones has. He’s not Bruce so fans will hang their hat on him but in the end he’s another Ashley place man. It’s been clear for several games now the system doesn’t work without Wilson - it’s Bruce persisting with it.
