Player of the Season: Joelinton Most Improved Player of the Season: Longstaff Most Disappointing Player: Nobody to be honest - could argue ASM but he started to look really good before his injury in spring. Targett hasn't been disappointing, just unlucky that the defence was so solid. Signing of the Season: Pope Goal of the Season: Almiron at Fulham Assist of the season: Willock vs Spurs Game of the Season: Spurs (H) Moment of the Season: Bruno's goal against Brighton. That's when I knew it was done. Special mention to the fulltime whistle against Leicester Manager rating out of 10: 100 Season rating out of 10: 100

Aye I'm lucky enough to know somebody so can go to more or less any away that I want, but he's only been to 3 or 4 aways in about 5 years - he agrees it's a problem and he doesn't want the points. He has over 300 because it gets used every single away game (league and cup) throughout a season. That is literally the only issue I have with points/away tickets. I think the system is as fair as can be, save for that. There needs to be something to stop that happening, but good luck to anybody coming up with the solution.

That's the thing, isn't it? There is never going to be a way to please all. As @SteV said re: home tickets becoming digital, the policing of it will be lax, but the idea of it will be enough to deter people. I'd like to think they could do the same with away tickets. You'd see far more drop to 0-20, thus giving more hope to youngsters being able to build up points for finals/European aways 10/15 years in the future. I say this as a Father who just wants my kids to have the chance to build up their points legitimately. EDIT: with regards to your second point, then there should be a facility (Ticket Exchange) to pass the ticket on, which it looks like may happen in the near future. You should lose the point of course.

We should implement something similar to Brighton, really. Would stop people hoarding points - and I say this as someone who currently benefits. To my knowledge, Brighton name must match the ticket, with random checks/away ground pick-ups enforcing it. Those found guilty lose some of their loyalty points, which I think is 10.

Would like to hope he hasn't cheated on his wife and kids like but it doesn't look great. Footballer thinking with dick shouldn't be a shock to anyone, sadly.

Christ he looks like he had a hell of a time in the 80s as a frontman in a regional rock band.

Team of the season: Alisson, Trippier, Dias, Saliba, Ake, Odegaard, Rodri, De Bruyne, Kane, Haaland, Saka Player of the season: Haaland Young player of the season (under 24, choose a different player if they're also your player of the season): Saka Manager of the season: Howe Underrated players of the season: Joelinton, Palinha, Kane (Haaland has meant we haven't really heard as much of him despite having an incredible season), Dunk, Gibbs-White, Lavia, Salah Overrated players of the season: TAA (delivery superb, defender horrendous. Last 5 games good, 30 prior shit), Casemiro, Maddison, Ward-Prowse

1. Joelinton 2. Trippier 3. Bruno (easy to forget how much we rely on him, despite having a couple of off games when he was carrying the injury) 4. Schar 5. Wilson

Can't believe someone voted ASM !? Nowt against him and I hope we keep him, but how can you have watched this season and think he was our best player

Which is a fair argument, however fuck them. It maybe is harsh punishing those who didn't chant, but it would also go a long way to pissing off their fans so that next time there is any racist chanting, those chanting would be reported/called out within the stadium. The only way to send the correct message is to ban all fans from the stadium, imo.

Would La Liga/Spanish FA not consider a stadium ban for Valencia @Village Idiot ? Really if they banned fans for the first 5/10 games next season, or even if they threw the book at them and rightly banned them for the entire 23/24 season, surely that would send the correct message that it isn't tolerated?

We will definitely be the team in Pot 4 those in the other pots will be wanting to avoid. I'm definitely not saying we would beat the likes of Bayern, Real Madrid etc at home, but we have a fighting chance of making it very competitive in a one off game with a bouncing St James'. I know the stats show it was more down to sheer luck, but I remember Celtic beating Barcelona back in 2012 at home. I'm sure they had like 16% possession but they went 2-0 up (I think)

Fair enough, I just assumed it was against the rules these days. Ahh well crack on then, £35m a season to match Spurs' seems fair, giving we're in the elite competition and they aren't!

It would be crazy to use a company owned by PIF imo. Just asking for trouble.

I actually agree with Neville & Carragher last night to be fair. Granted Man City are structured to have success for years to come now, but I don't think they would be as dominant (5/6 titles) without Guardiola. They'd definitely be there or thereabouts every season, but they're absolutely relentless with him there. Crazy to think Liverpool got 97, 99 and 92 points and only won one title in there. Will definitely be interesting when he leaves. Wouldn't be shocked if they went for Arteta.

Late summer is when it's said to come out. FFS I wanted to get my fix during the lean months with no football Mind what a season they chose. I know it's not the same as All or Nothing or STID but at least we get a happy ending compared to the recent Arsenal one and of course the hilarious Sunderland one.

I'd take literally anybody. Not arsed if truth be told, but personally I'd sooner have the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern. All about the memories, and I don't doubt we'd be competitive too, although a 'weaker' team from Pot 3 would be welcome so we could at least get 3rd place worst case and drop into Europa. Dream group; Dortmund Real Madrid Crvena NUFC

Delighted Liverpool didn't lose on Saturday. If you could pick to do it yourselves, at home, under the lights - you'd take it every time. Also for me, as the resident 'bed-wetter', having Liverpool breathe down our necks definitely made qualification feel 10x better. Human nature permits us all to want it done ASAP, but this way feels better, just like the Brighton game felt better scoring late to secure the win, rather than be 3/4-0 up and they score a consolation. Everything about this season has just been perfect. I've no doubt a trophy is on the horizon in the next few years. Delighted for the kids who'll grow up supporting a Newcastle that will consistently be challenging at the top of the table and for trophies. My adult years were poisoned by that cockney nonce, over the moon for the next generation of fans.

I'm so, so happy that it doesn't come down to this game. Sold my ticket and train yesterday - not because I didn't want to go, but the lad I gave it to hasn't been away since we've been taken over so happy to save the money ready for a (couple) of European aways next season. Whilst it would be lovely to round off my favourite ever season following Newcastle with a win, I really wouldn't be against giving some of the fringe players a game. Saying that, it would be nice to finish ahead of Man Utd, but I think they'll win both of their games. Definitely think we should get Bruno booked in for his op asap, and it would be nice to give Miley a run out at some point. 2-2.

Aye Brentford away for me too is when I started to think 'shit, we definitely should do this'. Crazy to think that Forest game was this season man. Seems fucking ages ago when Schar scored that goal, but that performance really did set the tone. We battered them from minute one that day. Most important game for me was Wolves (H). Won't be remembered as such but it was the first win in a while, a poor game all things considered and we could have been down to 10 in the first half. Favourite game was Man Utd at home. Equally as dominant as the Spurs game just without the goals. Special shoutout to Leicester (A) after the World Cup as we carried on where we left off, which people were saying might not happen.

Announce new contract. Announce ankle operation.

Apologies if this is bringing the tone down a bit, but I’m pisssed, emotional and extremely happy right now. We should all remember the friends and family who didn’t make it this far. Dads, grandads, brothers and sisters - all whose final memories of NUFC was the shell of a club Mike Ashley created. This one is for them. Newcastle United are back for good. It’s fucking mint.

I thought he did delay the music on Thursday a bit to be fair, I was thinking someone might have had a word.

My money is on Status Quo.

2/10. Up from a 1 this morning.
