what’s the use in being owned by human rights abusers if we can’t have both

Fergie was the perfect manager for his time and got out of the game at the right time. Pep is the perfect manager for the past 15 years where the game has become more tactical. It's almost as though there isn't and doesn't have to be a singular answer to this.

Dumfries is absolutely terrible

Tyler Adams supposedly has a release clause of £30m. If it's him for £30m or McTominay for £25m it's a no brainer, like.

I wouldn't begrudge Maddison choosing Spurs over us. He's no reason to have any affinity for us and I imagine living in London as a millionaire would be amazing if that's what you're in to. It's not like Spurs are a small club or owt either. He can have a very good career there. I don't get people attacking his character for making that choice at all.

Absolutely delighted to see he appears to be over the worst of his struggles.

I don't really care but it blows my mind that Miggy can't even give a pre-prepared answer in English . He's been in English speaking countries since 2016... how does he get by? Presumably he can understand it but just not speak it.

"[Annoyed] Peas." Howling . Don't need to read further.

Arsenal game could've gone either way and we were definitely unlucky to lose it. We didn't batter them though.

Could easily fill Burn's current role though

Can I shoot the messenger? I'm not sure why you would post this unless you can verifiably say it's the certain truth.

‘domestic violence, threat and bodily injury' police report filed against Antony in Brazil by his partner

aye. The best argument for keeping him is that he's a totally different winger to what we've got and has proven he can cause massive problems against the big teams. We're going to be playing a few more of those big teams next season. He needs to stay fit, but honestly him saying on his Insta that he's "lost important people" this season could explain a lot of his absences. It might explain why he supposedly had a hamstring injury but was sprinting around in the south of France. It might explain why he was missing with covid. etc.

Trippier spends half the game coaching Almirón through it. I'm sure he'd do it with ASM too.

The above is also why I'd like to see Howe try him on the right. I think he'd be less predictable against a low block there and would combine really well with Trippier.

Totally agreed. His best work is nearly always when there's space to attack. He can be effective against a low block as he's our best player at getting to the byline and beyond the defence, but he still needs more coaching there imo. Still cuts inside too much.

He was in Opta's tots too. Trippier created the most chances from set plays (76) and played the most passes into the opposition box (551) by a player in a single season since Opta started collected this data 20 Premier League seasons ago, in 2003-04. Meanwhile, his 138 successful crosses are the most by a player in Premier League season since Jermaine Pennant in 2005-06 (146). The 110 chances he created for teammates are also the most by a Newcastle player in a top-flight season since 2003-04, while only Cheick Tioté in 2013-14 (1,825) has completed more passes for the Magpies in a single Premier League campaign than Trippier did this season (1,568). League-wide in 2022-23, Trippier played the most progressive passes (275) and had the second-best expected assists total (11.8), behind Kevin De Bruyne. Not only this, but he also had the joint most assists from set-plays (six), along with Andrew Robertson. Not bad for a full-back. These are ludicrous figures.

I think it’s become psychological for him. I remember a miss this season where afterwards Isak kind of came across to reassure him afterwards. The rest of his game is so full of confidence now but his finishing has prevented him from becoming top level so far. Hopefully next season he starts well and progresses from there. He looked majestic at times towards the end of the season and I really enjoyed watching him. Bulked up over the season as well. He kinda looks like a throwback to a mid-00s Brazilian flair player now.

It’ll hopefully come but he really should’ve scored more goals. He has 3 goals from 7xG this season which is just terrible . If he hits his xG next season we’re cooking.

https://twitter.com/milesstarforth/status/1665971288710561792 Starforth: Asked Eddie Howe at Stamford Bridge about Allan Saint-Maximin’s importance at Newcastle next season. Howe spoke about the winger's ability, and stressed that his future role at the club would be ‘dictated by Maxi himself’. But will he still be here? 1/2 #nufc Eddie Howe doesn’t have to sell this transfer window, but, we know, he’s quite prepared to move players out if it’s right for the club – and the player. It all depends on what offers are out there this summer – and what Allan Saint-Maximin wants to do. 2/2 #nufc

"Thanks to everyone for the support, whatever happens, I will always give everything when I have the chance to step onto the pitch" doesn't make it sound like he's off to me, like. It reads more like he's had a difficult season and wanted to say something.
