Guess I'm taking more notice of the Turkish league again. Mourinho going to cause wars

All the best to him, cracking servant of the club.

Straight to Gateshead or something.

That's a canny team without any additions like. If we keep them fit we could be a force next season. 

Botman won't exactly be fit much next season mind. (Will take months even after he returns, to be right)

How the hell has Kompany managed that

From Uefa Cup in our own hands to missing out on even conference league, gutted.

Finished above them though.

Why did we have to leave European football in anyone else's hands

Sort it fucking out Man City.

DCL played plenty of minutes for Everton this season but it's clear his injuries have massively affected him as well, he isn't the player he was a few years ago because of his injuries.

Maybe Howe can get DCL back to the player he was for 2 seasons in his career but then can he stay fit enough to play while doing that, can he close down consistently with his hamstrings of cheese?

How many Newcastle fans were in attendance do we reckon?

Wonder how many new fans we gained as well.

Embarrassing ffs

Get a grip

In the sense we were playing the friendly as a way to boost our reputation in that area of the world, it is a bit

It'll be forgotten of course quickly.

Wait...we aren't even the main event are we

At least we are building up a reputation around the world with these friendlies.

Could the FA not have waited a few more month? 

Not ideal for us that 1 of maybe 2 teams that could match the clause for Bruno quickly.

Getting him for only 10m - 15m more than we would get ramsdale for would be a hell of a deal for a keeper like that.

Some cracking pens from the kids.

Not risking Trippier for England?/ Trippier saved from Son?

Pope terrible with ball at feet.

What a fucking idiot

Cannot think of many, if any, complaints about that provisional squad really.

Definitely getting way ahead of myself here.. But does anyone know how our coefficient would actually be impacted if we had a cracking ECL run and got a European spot for 25/26?

 

Using https://www.fotcalc.com/coefficient-calculator-post-24 it seems a solid run in the competition could yield around 18+ coefficient points if I used/read it correctly? But my head started spinning when I tried to find out what that would actually do to our overall coefficient.

 

Proper jinxing us with my excitement now.

Man United is absolutely winning the FA Cup now like

At least he's coming to a side that is blessed and doesn't have injury problems.

How are Napoli in Europe next season when they're 10th in Serie A? You'd think only maybe 2 or 3 of those would cause us any problems 

Probably a few weeks old and they were higher in the league (poor last few weeks).

Or, they are basing it on the possibility of Napoli finishing 9th (have Lecce while Torino vs Atalanta). Serie A has 9 teams for Europe if Fiorentina win this years final.
