Is it now?

Do you really think he didn't get picked for the World Cup because he missed 2 games? And not the fact that its far more likely that he missed because he was injured in all but one of the camps that Thomas Tuchel has been England manager. Tuchel has managed 12 games for England and Hall has been available for only 2 of them.

Travis Hernes has joined FC Groningen permanently.

I get what you're saying, but what evidence is there of this? Especially given Arteta is in the league and his brand of football has been the norm this past season.

Done

@Magpie Did you want me to unpin this one, and pin the World Cup predictor?

McCoist "You have to have a fair degree of sympathy here for Arsenal as they've defended really well"

What the fuck is Gerrard and McCoist on about "Thats not a foul in the Premier League", he dived in studs up, its a clear as day yellow.

Madrid are easily my most hated club like, even more so than Liverpool/ Arsenal/ Man United, their entitlement and superiority act is unrivaled

Based on the above compilation, young Vowels here looks pretty decent.

I am really glad this has been done so early and that the club have learnt lessons from last Summer (Who know having a Sporting Director could be so effective) . It was obvious he wasn't going to stay, and that he wanted out, its stating the obvious but it really was detrimental to our season that the Isak saga carried over until September last year, and I think the fee is a decent one, if not utterly spectacular, and even if he where to have a really good World Cup which added say £10m onto the fee, I think its more worthwhile to get it done now with a fee we are happy with, and just move on quickly so we have time to replace him. In terms of Gordon as a whole, i'm probably not going to really look back at his time here with any great fondness, but also not with any negativity either, he'll just be a player that played for us. He's a player who on his day is a world beater, and can win you a match on his own, its just he's very selective about when he turned it on, and he's always felt selfish, and seemed to always look after himself & his own needs before the teams. His off the ball work is genuinely elite, his pressing is quality and his pace is lethal, as is his off the ball awareness, which will be really hard to replicate in any replacement, and while I also think he's good at beating a man I don't think his end product is particularly good, 8 non-penalty goals and 7 assist in 60 Premier League games over the past 2 seasons isn't particularly good, and we can replace that, i'm also over him cutting in and blasting a shot over from the edge of the box which seemed like happened 2 times a game. I think this is a win win for both player and team, I don't think he's shamed himself in the way he's handled the potential move, and hasn't seemingly kicked up a fuss, and he gets a move that any kid would dream off, and we get a really good fee that we can use to refresh the squad, and its been done early.

So what you're saying is that if he plays with some of the best players in the world, at one of the most elite clubs in the world, he'll look better than he did for us, thats a shock that

https://www.newcastleunited.com/en/news/ramsdale-shortlisted-for-premier-league-save-of-the-season-award Newcastle United goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has been shortlisted for the Premier League's Coca-Cola Save of the Season award. The 28-year-old is up for the coveted prize following his excellent stop from Joshua Zirkzee in March's 2-1 win against Manchester United. The Magpies shot-stopper produced an impressive full-stretch to deny the Dutchman's long-range effort in the 89th minute before William Osula's late winner, nominated for the Premier League Goal of the Season award, sealed maximum points at St. James' Park.

https://www.newcastleunited.com/en/news/osula-nominated-for-premier-league-goal-of-the-season-award Newcastle United forward William Osula has been nominated for the 2025/26 Guinness Premier League Goal of the Season award. The Danish frontman, who has scored nine goal in all competitions this season, is up for the award following his stunning late strike in March's 2-1 win against Manchester United in March. The 22-year-old completed a brilliant solo effort for the ten-man Magpies, surging down the right flank before cutting inside to curl a magnificent clincher past goalkeeper Senne Lammens in front of the Gallowgate End.

Full squad: Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford (Everton), Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), James Trafford (Manchester City) Defenders: Reece James (Chelsea), Tino Livramento (Newcastle), Marc Guehi (Manchester City), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), John Stones (Manchester City), Jarell Quansah (Bayer Leverkusen), Nico O'Reilly (Manchester City), Dan Burn (Newcastle), Djed Spence (Tottenham Hotspur) Midfielders: Declan Rice (Arsenal), Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Jordan Henderson (Brentford), Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa), Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United), Eberechi Eze (Arsenal) Forwards: Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Ivan Toney (Al-Ahli), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Noni Madueke (Arsenal), Marcus Rashford (Barcelona), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle)

Nah. League Cup >>>>>>>>>>>> League > Champions League > FA Cup > Europa League > Conference League.

Well that went quicker than I thought it would. Aye

Trivia time: Osula is the youngest player to score a brace for us since who in March 2018?

Given it looks likely he's going to leave, what would people prefer: 1) Sell him at a slightly lower price, around £65M-70M, but it gets done before the World Cup 2) Sell him for something closer to what we expect circa £80M, but its becomes a protracted saga and gets dragged out towards the end of the window.

Thats definitely fake, you can see on the blury photo above that its the round 1976 badge thats going to be used on the third kit.

I only saw the post I quoted, so if that is the case, then thats fair enough I still completely disagree entirely with what you where saying

So i've kind of not really posted on the forum in a while, as to be honest, I disagree with a lot of the "Howe Out" stuff (I think he deserves a lot more respect then he's currently getting), and generally I try and stay away from negativity, but this has kind of irked me, as it feels like you're being quite needlessly condescending. Todays performance wasn't amazing, we rode out luck at times, and Brighton had some guilt edged chances. Infact I think they probably deserved a draw. However, so did we! We created some really good chances ourselves, and where the better side in the first half and deservedly went in ahead. Brighton then came out strongly and played like a side that were 6th and riding high on confidence and we played like a team that had lost 5 on the trot, and where really nervy (the prime example being Thaiw who's usually quite composed on the ball, just giving it away time and again) which is to be expected, its basic human nature, if you're low on confidence you tend to go into your shell, and to snap the streak we'd been on it was always going to be like that. Overall I would say there are probably more positives to take from today than there are negatives, and in a period where its been really turgid, where we have been really up against it, people are going to latch on to them and be happy that we got the win, and did so against a good side that tend to be our bogey team, so let people enjoy the win without acting superior.
