You are just ignoring the massive, massive caveat that the kingdom is a murderous and despotic regime that we are just going to be a symbol of.

The Premier League has now received legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control Newcastle United Football Club. It’s a bad joke that this takeover was allowed.

I really hope that kit isn't real, like. Can't exaggerate how disgusting it would be for the team to be wearing a Saudi flag.

Arteta's head's gone

Don’t get me wrong he’s a good player but in terms of ability he’s not one of the best in the world imo. He’s just perfectly suited to Klopp’s system. I think if you put him in Man City’s team he’d get crazy numbers too fwiw, but if you put him in a different tactical setup he’d struggle like he did at Chelsea.

If you can’t drop spicy takes in a thread like this then when you

Mo Salah and Sadio Mane. Two players who benefit massively from a system.

After his first few imperious games he seems like a regular liability to me now. Even in some of his big performances he was responsible for us conceding a goal. In the build up for the corner they scored the first goal from yesterday he went completely missing. Went in to challenge Jesus when he was never going to get there and screwed up the entire defensive organisation doing so. He loses his head far too easily, which is a shame because he’s great for 89 of the 90 minutes.

This is the grim reality of how social media is managed in football. Algorithms. Fan sentiment graphs.

We actually weren't that bad today.

Said it earlier. He’s a liability.

Dan Burn is a liability, you know. What on earth was he doing in the build up to the corner being given? It’s just not how you play centre back.

Chris Wood is shit.

He’s obviously not crap though, as we have witnessed for 2.5 seasons. He’s in poor form and has been for a couple of months.

Made it to 5 minutes. Well done lads.

His comments are indefensible and he should apologise and probably be dropped for them but, to the people who say he doesn’t create chances for people to convert… well, he does:

Mahrez off for Fernandinho is possibly the worst sub of all time.

He didn't even play them Definitely needs his accounts examining at a minimum.

3 minutes The ref might actually be on the take

What on earth is that refereeing man

The Fernandinho sub couldn't have gone worse really Should've taken him off for Sterling rather than Rodri.

So underserved

Yeah, Real have been really really poor. But Man City have still looked knackered all game! Only Bernardo and Foden have played at the usual intensity.

City have looked fucked physically all game btw. No way are they making it through this.

Real have some sort of fucking Champion's League cheat code
