Christ, I don't know what matches they've been to, but it's been dire for years. Just shows how bad the rest of the PL grounds are then.

Sure these lads have to take a lot of the credit for us having the best atmosphere in the League according to this on Talksport; https://talksport.com/football/ranking-every-premier-league-club-based-atmosphere-their-home-stadium-worst-best?p=19

Baffling that Atsu is producing poor performances whereas Murphy was really coming into some form yet it's Atsu getting most of the game time. Murphy is clearly a confidence player and I'm not sure what leaving him out after he's been playing well is going to achieve.

The reason they are in a mess is because of Ellis Short, Ellis Short is writing out cheques on a monthly basis to keep them afloat. They were in a mess before he bought them. Niall Quinn and his consortium had already started running them.into the ground trying to keep them in the Premier League, and before him Bob Murray ended up selling them for a quid just to get rid of them as he couldn't afford to cover the losses they make.

Do clubs ever release actual attendance? Surely they must review how many sold tickets were actually redeemed/scanned on the day? Sunderland don't even say how many tickets are sold. They simply make up a number now, usually 27000 and something. They only had 17,000 v Bolton but added 9000 onto the crowd. They regularly take less than £50,000 on the gate for home games (after season ticket holders and away fans are factored in) which doesn't even cover Jack Rodwells wage.

It should never, ever be Manquillo. That's for sure.

Surely he'll not be playing! Dummett had another good game on Wenesday so hopefully we won't be seeing much of Manquillo from here on in.

Certainly didn't look like a corner from where I was stood in the Gallowgate. I even said to the lad next to me, watch them go and score from this now!

Should put that on a banner tbh.

f***ing brilliant. They've just read it out on BBC Newcastle as well. f***ing class. I’ll be donating again as soon as I get a bit more wedge I imagine they’ll be stopped after that Aye but what a way to go out if they do! I sit in the Gallowgate so it's great to see how it looked from the other stands.

He's playing very well at the moment. Very good again today. Won some crunching tackles which always gets the crowd off their seats.

Toss up between him and Diame for MOTM today. Very impressed.

Don't forget complaining about the atmosphere whilst watching on a dodgy stream with iffy sound quality.

Borrowing Slimani off Leicester will appease the masses and this protest won't happen.

Depends. My first payment was July and my last payment for this season comes out tonorrow.

Officially it is but you could cancel any time really and there's nothing they can do about it. Obviously it's preferable to cancel before your 1st payment for next season comes out though!

For whatever reason he's ended up at West Brom ahead of us. Tammy Abraham chose Swansea ahead of us in the summer so losing out to so called smaller PL teams for strikers isn't something we should be surprised about.

Great price.

Surely the atmosphere will be toxic if we get no one in as expected. Wallsendmag will be hoying the toxic fans into the Tyne one by one before kick off. Haven't decided if I'm going yet. The way I feel at the minute I just can't be bothered with it all. 0-1

Quite possibly at the expense of us.

If I lived in London I think I'd probably support Charlton but I think they've got problems with their owner as well!

Nothing else to add to this really.

There was never a £15m there. It was all made up.

If it was Man City or Spurs coming in for him instead of us, do you think he'd have the same mindset? Aye but it wasn't Man City or Spurs in for him. It was us. I'm being hypothetical No way is he choosing West Brom, even for a loan, if it was someone higher up the table than us. He had a choice. West Brom or Newcastle. West Brom are an established PL club. We aren't. I can see why he'd choose them. Personally I don't believe for a minute we'd have been prepared to pay the loan fee or his 100k a week wages but there you go. Not really. More of a yo-yo club. Not in the past Decade. They came up with us in 2010 and have been a PL club ever since.
