Gordon, close.

Batman scores that if he travelled with the squad.

Do I celebrate or complain he's playing

Batman and Hall apparently not with the squad.

For those wanting to watch it, can we have a sweepstake on what minute Simon will say "I've always said Newcastle are a big club, a big club in Newcastle".

Maybe it was just Howe picking up the lingo and meant ney.

The xG means absolutely nothing if they don't score though. If we had absolutely battered Milan but didn't score, no ones take away would've been "Disappointing to come away with a draw. Happy to take that xG into the next game though. Phowoaahhhhh"

Given they weren't players we had genuine interest in, none.

Not at all. I agree that, Villa aside, we've been pretty poor as a whole and certainly nowhere near last season, but some of the hyperbole following those games has been nothing but a joke. Folk were happy to shout from the roof how difficult of a start we had/have. How difficult of a Champs League group we have. Folk will spend the entire week building up the opposition and how difficult of game it will be, only to complain when what they've built up to happen, happens. There seems to be no in-between for some people when it comes to the team and players. A win and we're winning the league and Murphy is lifting the Ballon d'Or Get beat and we're shit and Murphy should be the first out the door.

Think what makes it frustrating is we've just went through 14 years of "Support the team. Not the regime". I'm not saying fans weren't just as frustrated, but the likes of SackPardew/AshleyOut gave fans a focal point to air their grievances towards poor ownership and (with some exclusions) poor management, yet plenty were happy to sit on their hands and continue to accept mediocrity if it meant a piss up on a Saturday under the guise of "Support the team...." Supporting them is a different matter, but we now have a ownership that matches the ambition of the fans, and a manager who given the time has what it takes to get there, yet for some fans 14 years of rubbish was acceptable but not performing in 5 tough games isn't.

Got to feel for the Glazers, all of their own money wasted on players like that.

Ololna

Absoulte bollocks how every time I tried adding Kane to either score or have shots on target into my free SkyBet BuildAbet I got technical issues.

Without extra time

We beat this Real Madrid side.

Was hoping Longstaff was going to show up the wanna be Almiron fraud Leão by successfully scoring with a back heel.

Still gonna get it, but that with no collar and zip would be

Seems too much of a coincidence that there's been a dip in form/performance following Hendrick, Hayden and Fraser being moved on.

Wonder if the language barrier could see us recalling Hendrick.

They played a grand total of 14 Premier League games together. St Max playing for longer than Isak in 3 of those games.
