Nowt wrong with Manquillo and Lewis in a game like this. Wish ASM was playing though.

Nathan Jones recycling Bruce style narratives for his own self-preservation, truly a wretched appointment

"We kicked the ball longer" - Steve Stone, sometime in 2012 Would be a cringeworthy appointment.

Brentford 2-2 Liverpool Arsenal 1-1 Newcastle Everton 1-1 Brighton Leicester 2-2 Fulham Man United 2-0 Bournemouth Southampton 0-0 Forest Leeds 2-1 West Ham Villa 1-1 Wolves Palace 1-2 Spurs Chelsea 1-3 Man City

We've been poor in general play IMO, agree that Leeds pressing game + focus on nullifying our right hand side has blunted us.

On a hat-trick but also on for the Jonathan Walters special should he decide to step up to take a pen

West Ham 1-1 Brentford Liverpool 2-1 Leicester Wolves 1-2 Man United Bournemouth 2-1 Palace Fulham 3-0 Southampton Man City 3-0 Everton Newcastle 2-0 Leeds Brighton 1-2 Arsenal Spurs 3-1 Villa Forest 0-2 Chelsea

That's Chelsea and Man City beating us to two top South American talents for the future. Shows we are setting the bar high and scouting well which is great, I think maybe Nickson and co had hoped the market would be a little bit more under the radar as far as the PL is concerned though.

Magnificent, his reading of the game during a few nervy moments in the first half was absolutely first class.

Another win for WBA today

Brentford 1-2 Spurs Palace 1-1 Fulham Everton 2-1 Wolves Leicester 1-2 Newcastle Southampton 1-3 Brighton Villa 1-3 Liverpool Arsenal 1-0 West Ham Chelsea 2-1 Bournemouth Man United 2-0 Forest Leeds 1-3 Man City

Don't think we have seen anywhere near enough of Isak yet to make that call.

We already have better than both of them in our first choice pairing. Would much rather sign a younger defender of a similar profile to Botman who can eventually take over from Schar. Quite happy to leave the top four cast offs for the Evertons and the Aston Vilas.

Manquillo and Lascelles should be able to get PL moves imo.

The clickbait stuff disproportionately pisses me off as well. I know it's the nature of the beast, but some authenticity would go a long way. "10 players PIF will try and sign for Newcastle United!!!!" Fuck off man, nobody knows who we're going to sign and that's the beauty of it.

Same. Haven't seen much to suggest he's going to become an elite level DM, he's a good player for teams challenging for the top eight or so. We can do better.

Think he does come across like an arsehole tbh (his comments disparaging the club he plays for on two separate occasions, anyway) but agree with the sentiment. Would be surprised if the ban was any longer than a few months although I guess it will depend a lot on the specifics, which makes it difficult to assess too much in terms of precedent just now.
