We can worry about next season in good time, for all we know Krul may be back here. There's going to be some hefty investment needed next season, but keeper wouldn't be the priority for me. f*** me, we had Jak Alnwick in goal not too long ago in the premier. The Jak Alnwick fiasco just highlighted how important it is to have a really good goalkeeper at that level. If Krul leaves permanently it's a position I'd be looking to strengthen, no doubt about it.

Didn't Pardew absolutely slate Scottish Football when he was here and refused to send our players out on loan up there because it was such a poor standard of football and wouldn't be beneficial to them?

A little bit of nostalgia for anyone who used to do their pre match drinking in Idols 20 years ago; Alevis Broon

I'd play Diame alongside Shelvey and just leave Perez where he is. Unfortunately that's not going to happen and Colback will be a guaranteed starter for the next few games.

These Russians wouldn't last more than 5 minutes on Wallsend High Street tbf.

I'm pretty sure it was a protest vote.

Conceded another 4 tonight.

I don't know why the negativity surrounding Gouffran, as he does graft but he also very rarely gives the ball away. He could do more going forward but his attacking isn't helped by Dummett not overlapping and protecting Dummett defensively. You don't think Atsu would perhaps be a better bet at home against teams in the bottom half? We've dropped too many points at home this season due to an over negative approach.

Win these 2 and I'd be very surprised if we're not at least 8 points clear.

I would love to see us go with that team apart from Darlow in for Elliot.

I can sort of understand Rafa going for a so called "grafter" in Gouffran away from home because he is a defensive minded manager after all but there's simply no reason for Gouffran to feature in our next 2 games. Seems like we played pretty well last night though and if Gayle had been on for 90 minutes we'd probably have won.

The Mag has been utter s*** since it stopped going to print. Absolute bollocks now. Shame really. It went to sh*t the last couple of years it was printed tbf.

Gayle, Hayden and Atsu to start this one please.

What happened tonight has been coming for a while from him now. Hopefully it acts as a bit of a wake up call for him because the alternatives are poor.

Any decent attack will rip this lot to shreds, like. If we go up we need a new 5 there if Krul doesn't return. Yedlin will be fine. The rest I agree with.

With 6 days till our next match I would have picked a stronger team than that tonight.

Would take a draw tbh. Think it's going to be a tough one tonight, they seem to have found some form, but after the Wolves result and with 2 home games to come against bottom half teams a draw would be a very decent result.

Try to get through the whole game without shouting nonce lovers once. Great crack this

Under 18s playing the mackems at Little Benton at 1pm today. It's quite pleasant outside so I'm going to have a walk along.

Fans were getting on his back because they are 20 odd points behind Celtic. Not really sure how they could have expected anything else tbh. Nah. Rangers fans at work are pretty sensible about the gap, reckoned he's got a big issue with the type of football he plays vs the quality of players at his disposal. Can't break teams down at Ibrox etc. Not saying they sound bin him but the reasons I was given were solid enough. Maybe but those fans inside Ibrox have been giving Warburton and the players a fair amount of stick over the past couple of months.

Daft sods used the same password for both.

Rumour that their website has been hacked.

Tbf the paedo loving, the banners & the racism were those who follow the club rather than the actual club itself, although they did cover up the Johnson carry on to protect their own interests. Can only praise them for how they've treated the young lad though. 1st class from them and their players, especially Defoe. Whatever the future holds for him they're giving him plenty of days to remember and who knows, maybe this could give him the extra strength to beat this.
