As long as we don't do something silly like splurge a billion I almost think it's worth the likes of us and Villa taking a points hit. It was a big story when Everton and Forest took a penalty but, well, who really cares? Us or Villa though I think would be a bigger story and really put the pressure on if we've been seen to have spent modest amounts that we can clearly afford, whilst also being less than your Chelsea's. Would show it for the fix it is and be quite hard to ignore. "Newcastle take points hit and miss out on CL qualification because they refused to sell Isak to Arsenal" would be quite the headline.

But it is his team. He's their manager. I get what you're saying but it's not like managers bring squads along with them into a new job. You have to work with what's there.

I was really worried when he first came in, and I'm still apprehensive if he faces any sustained pressure, but so far been really pleased with him. Makes passes Pope just isn't capable of and I think helps highlight how GK is a position we need to prioritise in the market.

He's now saying he'd rather leave the job than consider different tactics. Wtf is going on.

The more I listen to Amorim speak I can't help but think he is actually going to be at risk before long.

Amorim sounds a bit clueless here.

4-0 3-0 2-0 So we'll beat spurs 1-0 but it'll start to unravel after that

Other two results went our way too.

3 minutes!?

Should be a booking for diving there.

Why haven't we made any subs? (Bar the enforced one)

Is Liverpool Vs Man Utd a big game? Would assume routine home win.

"Dalot is good at getting in positions but unfortunately once he does he's shit" - Gary Neville

Trippier is taking the piss there

That was handball wasn't it?

Are these lot a PL team?

That was superb. Let's fuck these now.

Just turned MNF on. Talking about Liverpool obvs.

City a tight offside away from having their GK sent off there. Or would it just be a yellow these days?

The man sacked his DOF after a couple of months. Not inconceivable the new manager goes the same way.

I think any sacking is a while off, and obviously dependent on no turn around in form which could easily happen. But they've got an absolute idiot in charge who has no idea how to run a club. It could easily turn messy.

Amorim to me just feels like potentially the right man, but at the wrong time. I get that managers have a way they want to play but so far it seems like he's on a hiding to nothing. Surely you have to implement a system to maximise performances from the players you've got. In the medium to long term by all means build towards something different but in the here and now the priority has to be with the hand you've been dealt. There's obviously deeper issues at the club that need sorting out, but I don't see this ending well. It's such a shit show there though that he'll get to walk away without any real damage to his reputation and with a nice payoff too.

That's as clear a red as you'll see.

Prob added 2 mins for that penalty VAR check they made up whilst the game was still going on.
